"The issue isn't Terminators. The issue is Tulips"

if he desired desire itself it sounds like he was already done

If Republicans hate the for-profit insurance industry (that we had to accomodate, just to barely pass long-overdue reforms like guaranteed coverage despite pre-existing conditions) so much, then maybe it's time to start talking about Medicare for All again.

JB Pritzker: “Not everything is a both sides issue. When someone’s breaching the Constitution, it needs to be called out. There’s not two sides to it. When there’s fact and fiction, you don’t present those equally”

There's a reason most American Jews (and the Israeli Supreme Court) answer "yes it can be both"! But the occupation creates an iron triangle (in the engineering sense). Democracy, a Jewish state, and the Whole Land of Israel: pick 2.

We're...gonna have to make future presidents sign a lease and put down a deposit.

Pritzker: "Stephen Miller is clearly ordering people to break the law. So he should know that yeah, it may be three years from now that he is held accountable, but I think it's important for them to know that whatever they do now, it's not like we're going to forget."

To my fellow cishet dudes: when we are quiet about supporting the trans community, the only voices anyone hears are the Charlie Kirks of the world. Don't let accusations of being "performative" or "virtue signaling" shut you up - that's their whole point. Our voices are needed now more than ever.

transmogrify [𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴-𝘮𝘰𝘨-𝘳𝘶𝘩-𝘧𝘢𝘩𝘺, 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘻-] the process whereby the right wing immediately tries to make every shooter trans

Another shooting. And shooter. If only there were something that all these shooters, who shoot, have in common, something in every single shooting w/every shooter. All these shootings where shooting is done by a shooter there oughta be SOME common factor. What could it be? Shoot, sure wish I knew.

For @slate.com, I wrote about one dimension of the totalizing Trump/Miller immigration crackdown that's not getting enough notice, which is that they're moving to make indefinite detention — with no release dates and few options to get out — a norm

Oh FFS. First off, yes, I respect Sen. Brown's almost 2 decades in the Senate. But this is exactly the fucking prob with the boomers who run the DNC & their love of legacy acts. For them, jobs are for a lifetime- followed by a pensioned retirement. No one under 60 has ever lived in that reality.

This seems important

Thank you @slotkin.senate.gov for saying (out loud!) the two words I've been screaming at my various screens pretty much nonstop for the past 17 years: PUBLIC OPTION

The fight over transgender rights is not a sideshow in American politics, according to political scientists who have dived into public opinion. Instead, it is one of the first of many battles over diversity and difference that will determine the nation’s political future.

I disagree with 'lost on trans rights' but Sarah McBride does make some very good points about the tendency of (some of) the extremely online left to play purity police, which pisses people off. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/17/o...

It's also worth noting that it requires only something like 300 votes* to become Governor of South Dakota *This is, of course, an exaggeration. Kristi Noem won in 2022 with 217,035 votes, which is approximately 6.6% of the votes Alex Padilla got in his 2020 Senate Race

My plans for a major retail emporium are being threatend by wholesalers who won't let me steal the stock.

Senator @vanhollen.senate.gov is meeting the leadership moment

Strong moment from AOC’s speech in Utah

I would like to nominate Maxwell Smart for national security advisor.

Jeffrey Goldberg is the fucking hero of the hour. Check out this postscript to his EXTRAORDINARY story about finding himself in the “we’re gonna bomb someone group chat today. This is the stuff. Tattoo it on your heart.

Ted Lasso is trending 🤷‍♂️

1. Major news in transgender care. Germany, Switzerland, and Austria have just released their trans youth care guidelines. They strongly recommend trans youth care and slam the Cass Review in England. Europe is not "pulling back" on trans care. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Vice President Garbage Pail Kid can go fuck himself

Proud to stand with the LGBTQ+ community as an ally in the fight.

The New York attorney general, Letitia James, has warned New York hospitals that complying with the White House’s executive order to end gender-affirming medical care for transgender youth could well violate state law.

Wow

I'll reiterate that for the Democratic Party -MY Party- to compete in the 21st century, we're gonna have to do better than being the party of extremely careful, timid incrimentalism "Climate Change is an existential threat! Therefore, we propose a $30 tax rebate for energy efficient appliances"-etc

My response to Donald Trump’s efforts to block the Special Counsel from issuing his final report:

Holy resting bitch face batman www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Yes! I feel like I’m going crazy when I think about this. We had years of tepid growth as Obama-era policymakers consistently failed to prioritize employment post-crash. The left howled about it. Then Biden adopted the opposite approach, it was a smashing success… and the left SAVAGED him for it.

Could be a good idea @wikimedia.bsky.social ↘️

Corporate Media: "Golly, it sure seems like the murder of this CEO is generating an awful lot of angry conversation from people, regarding the for profit insurance industr- HEY LOOK! OVER THERE, DRONES!!!"

Sadly, it’s a good time to once again share this amazing infographic that we ran at @science.org more than 7 years ago 🧪 #IDsky www.science.org/content/arti...

I truly believe that car dependency and sprawl help create the sort of superfluous, alienated public that Arendt wrote about in Origins of Totalitarianism

Today, I got a phone call from someone I first met 7 years ago. A military family and their daughter, a young trans girl named Blue, came to Washington D.C. and met me. I promised Blue 7 years ago that I would fight to protect the trans community.

Fetterman: I'm considering voting yes on DeSantis if he finally admits that he has lifts in his boots. I'm sure he does. You know, maybe three inches. Four inches at least.

This is good!

Feel free to post this when appropriate:

I would like to speak up today for the trans community. You see, I know a bit of what it’s like to be politically scapegoated. When Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941, suddenly anyone in America who had any amount of Japanese ancestry became suspect. Politicians preyed upon ignorance and fear. /1
