This is like turning to the Klan for stats on race. The Southern Poverty Law Center designates SEGM as an anti-LGBTQ hate group and "a hub of pseudoscience".

Trumpism is eagerly politicizing the medications we take and the doctors we visit. You thought the anti-gender affirming care push was about hating trans people? They hate anything they can't control. Their hate is boundless. These freaks want control over every aspect of all of our lives.

This was the worst fucking podcast I have ever come across. They had to go to Europe to find an adult trans person who transitioned as a kid who was willing to speak with them.

Remember this: The relentless anti-trans disinformation campaign that Sulzberger began four years ago legitimised bigotry and handed Trump a potent campaign ad in the ‘24 elex. Sulzberger is a very big reason Trump is in office

THIS! ONE THOUSAND PERCENT.

Under Kathleen Kingsbury’s leadership, the New York Times opinion section consistently eschews empirically-driven opinion columns in favor of anecdotal ones by white writers who reinforce racial biases in their writing.

Since 2021, the nyt has had a de facto ban on hiring or assigning trans reporters or editors to cover issues all about trans ppl. It’s the exemplification of prejudice It aggressively suppresses internal dissent among queer staffers. It has a years-long record of driving out trans staffers

Abortion access nationwide will be severely restricted, even in blue states after this. Will require in person dispensing. Pharmacies can no longer fill prescriptions and just stop dispensing. Providers like aid access may still be able to mail pills due to their setup.

60% of mass shooters and attackers in the US have a documented history of domestic or intimate partner violence. So why is misogyny almost never discussed in the context of extremism? Cynthia Miller-Idriss has answers. Man Up, discussed with @legalaf. bit.ly/4deql9i

The same Republican extremists who have been trying to undermine the fundamental right to vote are the same ones who could weaponize this decision in their desperation to stay in power. They know the American people aren't happy with them.

Don't call it "expanding" SCOTUS. And, for God's sake, don't call it "court-packing." Call it **right-sizing** the Court. (There are 13 circuits now -- not the 9 circuits there were when it was set at 9 justices 157 effing yrs ago!) Or call it *modernizing* the Court. Thank you.

One of the most clarifying passages I've ever read on what "polarization" actually means in the U.S."

Hillary was right about everything.

Here’s the thing. If both racial and partisan gerrymandering is perfectly legal, then you won’t live in a democracy. You live in a country where politicians pick their voters not the other way around. It’s pretty much that simple.

Today is a reminder that except for a brief period running roughly from Brown v. Board to Roe v. Wade, throughout its history the Supreme Court has been a reactionary force protecting the wealth of the wealthy and the power of the powerful, almost always hostile to equality and justice.

For anyone confused: Meaning every last person who’s spent the last 6 years blaming Democrats for the end of Roe because it wasn’t codified, is a lying sack of shit who only wants to help elect Republicans. Stop listening to them. Stop giving them engagement. Stop allowing them in society.

In case anyone forgot The Voting Rights Act was codified.

as long as john roberts has his majority, there is simply no pro democracy reform that will survive the supreme court. none.

This👇🏽 deserves to be posted 100 times but I’d be labeled spam.

@rikiwilchins.bsky.social 2026 Apr Advocate Dept of Housing and Urban Devel announces new rule to allow federally funded DV shelters and similar housing programs to make placement based on birth-assigned sex reversing an Obama era rule. rather than gender identity.

Full accountability for the corrupt Roberts court will take time, but this is one consequence we can implement today. Make the name John Roberts synonymous with institutionalized racism: Roberts redistricting, John Roberts laws, Roberts Representatives.

Pete Hegseth having a job while Black people lose full voting rights is exactly why DEI needs to exist.

We must understand that the Voting Rights Act was not merely about ensuring Black Americans rights, it was about democratizing America. This ruling is not just a decimation of Black rights and Black Americans’ ability to have representation, it is a fatal blow to multiracial democracy.

The court has simply recreated the pre-Brown world in allowing racial discrimination across a broad number fields as long as it is “facially neutral,” gutting the Reconstruction Amendments in the process.

Notice how a book can make you gay, a vaccine can make you autistic, a mask can make you sicker, and a poster of the Ten Commandments can make you moral, but guns don’t kill people.

This was, in all seriousness, the point of the Harper’s Letter

This kind of stuff will make all of us go insane. Nobody was discussing any ballroom until Trump tore down the East Wing last year. And this was not an argument for the ballroom until literally hours ago. But now we're supposed to pretend like the WHCA incident settles some longstanding debate?

A bullet proof ballroom would not have helped eight children in Shreveport. It wouldn’t have helped Dr. Cerina Fairfax or Nancy Metayer Bowen or the 70+ women shot and killed every month in the US by a current or former partner. And last night’s shooting will suck all the oxygen out of the room. 1/

Journalists who are still attending the WHCD this year don't seem to get just how much things have changed. It isn't 1998. You're not going to pose for cute photos with the West Wing stars at "nerd prom." You're enabling a regime who's assaulting your own profession & you're torching your career.

Every bit of this speech should be read ahead of the WHCD. What exactly are we doing should be the question on everyone’s mind.

remember, RFK Jr. cut 988’s specialized counseling program for LGBTQ+ kids for no reason other than to get more of them killed

1. Major alert: Trump's anti-trans co-author Moti Gorin will be presenting with Kaltiala and Montante. These are conversion therapy advocates with intense anti-trans ties to hate groups around the world. Now they'll be teaching pediatricians THIS FRIDAY. Subscribe to support our journalism.

It’s been 10 years since we lost this musical genius. #Prince. 💙💜

This is your reminder that it's been ten months since the assassination of Melissa Hortman, her husband and her dog, and there hasn't been even a hint of justice for her family, friends or colleagues.

This is entirely politically motivated to eliminate an organization that has historically fought neo nazis and the KKK. What an absolute disgrace. www.cnn.com/2026/04/21/p...

The white house capitulation dinner. My latest: open.substack.com/pub/jimacost...

This Saturday may be the most embarrassing moment in the history of the White House press corps. I’ll be talking about this all week. Here are my thoughts today. Full show: open.substack.com/pub/jimacost...

Breaking: HHS’s ban on gender-affirming care is struck down. Rarely have I read a ruling this sharply worded. “This case is one of a long list of examples of how a leader’s wanton disregard for the rule of law causes very real harm to very real people.” www.advocate.com/politics/nat...

it's so cool how comfortably employed legacy journalists can just follow a bunch of independent journalists, rip off their stories, and still pretend they are better than the rest of us.

My latest. I’ve been watching the media coverage of the murders of Dr. Cerina Fairfax and Vice Mayor Nancy Metayer. One way media can fight back against male violence: If you kill your wife, you don’t get to be called a “husband” any more. You’re her killer. open.substack.com/pub/karenatt...

Multiple peer reviewed studies in high impact journals have shown a substantial benefit of gender affirming care for trans youth. A heroin addict who cut off a raccoon's penis for "further study" says this care is dangerous. For busy Americans, it can be hard to know who to trust.

Shoutout to @people.com, which covered horrific abuses at the Everglades camp that the administration refers to as "Alligator Alcatraz," citing several folks (including me) who call it a concentration camp.

“The actions of people like Dave Chappelle paved the way for people like Donald Trump to take away our civil liberties, and worse. If that upsets him enough to bitch and moan in the news about it, I happily invite him to shut the fuck up about my community forever.” - @alyssaur.bsky.social

“The next president must say on day one: We’re tearing down this arch; we’re razing Trump’s ballroom…Washington ceremonial architecture must be returned to the purpose for which it exists—to promote democracy, not the demented, bruised ego of one sick man.” newrepublic.com/post/209211/...

Cowardly leaders of hospitals like @childrensnational.bsky.social have made it clear they will sacrifice their trans patients without a hint of a fight

These people are absolute monsters. We must protect our trans youth at all costs

1. In a landmark ruling, the Montana Supreme Court has declared that the constitution, one of the most progressive in the nation, entirely protects transgender people. The ruling is even insulated from SCOTUS decisions, due to how state constitutions work. Subscribe to support our journalism.

My heart is broken at the loss of Cerina Fairfax, and devastated for her two children. Cerina’s life mattered. And we will not stop fighting until women no longer have to fear dangerous partners or weapons in their home.

In case it is unclear: your ethical and moral obligation is to refuse to participate in enforcing this. To validate that this is wrong. To push back and stand with trans kids. To offer safe bathrooms. It is not to make it palatable or tolerable for other adults. sentinelcolorado.com/metro/federa...

Caitlyn Jenner complained to Tomi Lahren that her passport gender marker was reverted back to male and it has inhibited her ability to travel. Trump ignored her letter to him about this. Despite this, she says she still loves Donald Trump.
