The United States is in a historic decline because one party was willing to overlook a lifetime of dishonest, unethical behavior in favor of tribal hopes of greatness. Now its constituency is suffering in the wake of policies that are ruining their lives and livelihood.

In their breathless positioning of scientific neutrality, never once does it dawn on them that they were hand picked to draw a conclusion already reached. It reads with all the informed science of your racist uncle at a Thanksgiving debate. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

ANDOR’s brilliance, as is true in all art, comes down to its taste and execution. That it can look at all of the bombast and grandeur of Star Wars, and instead choose to develop its characters at a dinner with the in-law is an extraordinary showcase of Tony Gilroy’s confidence and skill.

In an effort to “protect” cis women from a threat that does not exist, this court both recognizes the need for shielding trans women from discrimination while throwing them directly into harm’s way by denying access to safe spaces for women. Shame on the UK.

I think he knows about as much about the economy as he does gender affirming healthcare.

Senator Jon Ossoff needs to run for President.

A list of best western comics…of all time!? Proud of our team! Letter man Troy Peteri, Natalie Barahona with stunning colors and Iines, and the late Jason Pearson with jaw-dropping covers. Keven Gardner and Brian Stelfreeze on editorial. Thanks, Screenrant! @darkhorse.com @12gaugecomics.bsky.social

More of this energy, please. 💪

Clean Slate on Amazon is a joy and @lavernecox.bsky.social is a treasure. Love the cast and love the Alabama connection. Give it a watch!

The anti-trans movement is nothing more than political opportunism masking as policy for Republicans who don’t have solutions to the actual problems ailing Alabama. www.al.com/opinion/2025...

1. Today the NIH director issued a new directive slashing overhead rates to 15%. I want to provide some context on what that means and why it matters. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

There was a massive rally for trans rights in Montgomery today. So many people are deeply afraid as the government demonizes them. And for what? Nothing is gained. Nobody’s life is bettered by bullying a trans person.

Where are the Republican First Amendment hawks? Where is their spine? Honestly. Let this garbage go too far with this and it’s over.

Overnight, this country has become everything I was taught to fear in the 80s about the USSR.

I still have hope. 🏳️‍⚧️💪 www.lgbtqnation.com/2025/01/we-a...

Yes it’s horrible. But I think the real takeaway here is that one side recognizes decades of scientific data that supports the importance and need for gender affirming inclusion and the other side thinks sex is affixed at conception. Let that sink in. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

The senior counsel for Advocates for Trans Equality gets real about the future for trans Americans.

My twelve-year-old boy can’t get enough of Star Wars Skeleton Crew. It’s the only Star Wars thing he’s ever connected to in the franchise and he’s LOVING it.

When the anti-trans coalition came to AL, I was asked to meet with proponent reps about their support. 100% offered these bills, not as solutions to a problem, but because out-of-state interest groups asked. For one rep, I was the first trans person they’d ever met. The anti-trans movement is a lie.

When TN Attorney General Skrmetti says that the opponents of his law admitted that there is no evidence that gender affirming care lowers suicide rates, he’s offering evidence to prove something that can’t be proven. 1/

Arguments in the Supreme Court's trans youth healthcare case laid bare the conservative justice's broad threats to trans and queer rights, bodily autonomy + decades of legal precedent. ANALYSIS w/ @kredburn.bsky.social @sydneyduncan.bsky.social @imarajones.bsky.social @urge-org.bsky.social + more:

What a day. Filled with so many emotions. To sit in front of those nine justices. To see Chase Strangio argue. To be a part of such a profoundly important moment. It was everything. 🏳️‍⚧️❤️

I was in a mood during this interview, because I literally can’t believe that anyone takes seriously what these “experts” have to say about anything. It’s medicine through a Jordan Peterson lens - absolute nonsense dressed in a suit and sworn in for testimony. www.theguardian.com/world/2024/n...

Emma and I managed to clean up and drag ourselves out to celebrate a new LGBTQ Center here in Birmingham. ❤️

For HBO to be so cowardly for the benefit of a money grab. Just rotten to the core. www.out.com/gay-tv-shows...

This is an echo of the general election. The trans Democrat is blamed for "sparking" the crisis despite the fact she did nothing beyond be herself. Before she arrived to DC, or made any demands, the GOP preemptively turned her identity into a political issue. So, who is doing identity politics?

Scary, uncertain times. We’re hoping that by being informed, you’ll find your way. ❤️🏳️‍⚧️ transequality.org/news/introdu...

Rep. Nancy Mace would have welcomed Rep. Joseph Rainey with a Whites Only sign on the bathroom closest to his office.

I feel like the effort to remove undocumented workers and the disbanding of the DOE are related. My state, Alabama, is a welfare state. DOE functions to keep its Ed system competitive with other states. Remove it, and our state Ed system will begin failing students. But maybe that’s the point? 1/2

Besides, that debate ended in 1945.

We need a word like “tweet” that captures the essence of making a Bluesky post. I’d like to nominate “bloop.”

Morning show idiot tapped to lead armed forces feels like scraping the Adam Sandler film pitch barrel. That’s where we are. Billy Madison goes to Washington.

I’m reminded that 4 years ago today I had a comic book series debut with Dark Horse Comics. I really enjoyed my brief time in the industry and would have liked to have done more. Comics people are good people. ❤️

I went and tried on 90s jeans and I look like a Volvo. The cornflake girls can keep them.

Heartbroken to announce my 2024 graphic novel, Galaxy & Associates, has been cancelled by the good people at Dark Horse due to the market. We were starting to get art and I was so excited to show you that world. Alien Nation meets The Fifth Element. One day, maybe...

She help with brief. Says sex discrimination no good, send treat.

My first press release at TLDEF is a win for trans existence! https://www.transgenderlegal.org/stay-informed/tldef-wins-name-change-for-transgender-man-in-challenge-to-pennsylvania-felony-bar/

Horrible news for families in Tennessee. Sixth Circuit allows ban on trans minor healthcare to continue, citing in the court’s opinion “experimental medicine” and overruling the lower court’s injunction.

I was in an Edinburgh nightclub one 4th of July and jokingly asked the DJ if he’d do a shout out for America. That didn’t go well.

"At least three" remains the funniest and most correct answer to this question

I should come up with something witty or profound for my first post, shouldn’t I?
