If you were taken in by the “high school sports” Trans panic I think you’re dumber than dirt. I think you should lose independence. You cannot be trusted to live life without hurting others through your stupidity and require a custodian. “WHAT ABOUT FAIRNESS IN SPORTS” hello, ward of the state.

401,000 people moving state to state in fear of having legal documents invalidated (KS), jail time for using restrooms (FL, UT), loss of access to adult care (dozens) or youth care (dozens even in D-led states), & the message from “opposition” is still largely “you’re making too big a deal of this.”

A lot of things about the oligarchs are functionally antimemetic under capitalist society

So the House (a committee in the house) is marking up and looking at bills like KOSA tomorrow. This is the second step after introducing the bills and is far from passing it. But CALL YOUR REPS TO TELL THEM NO TO THESE CENSORSHIP AND DIGITAL ID BILLS www.badinternetbills.com

In a few decades, a white lead climate project will declare that they have finally "discovered" a way to sustainably plant forests. It will be hailed as an innovation of science! But the methods that work, will be surprisingly like those that the Karuk tribe have used for the past ~10,000 years.

I need to address this immediately, because I am WAY too Minnesotan to ever claim credit for this. I built a thing to point the fire hose of people's generosity in the right direction. That's it. I am thankful for the piece, because hopefully it means people will donate more money.

I feel like if you could comfortably publish this headline, there isn't nearly enough of a moral panic about what these people are getting away with.

“Moral panic” is when people get mad about pedophilia

These people are beyond evil and the only reason that it doesn’t always seem that way is that they’re also beyond stupid.

With democrats like these, who needs republicans!

Lmfao

1. The New York Times, unsurprisingly, has released yet another hit piece on transgender people. This time, it comes from Jesse Singal. I fact check it in my latest piece. End your NYT subscription, and put it towards people doing good work on the issue. Subscribe to support our journalism.

it should be emphasized that jesse singal isn’t just a weird contrarian with a kink for arguing in bad faith; he’s a complete fucking freak with an unhealthy obsession with children’s sexual development that feels to me frankly pedophilic

Rep. Ilhan Omar shouts repeatedly at Trump: "You have killed Americans!"

stand up and salute our man at midnight

Inject this straight into my abolitionist veins boltsmag.org/arkansas-pri...

democrats should internalize that this is what their colleagues think of them and act accordingly

I’m glad to hear people not memory-holing this

Not sure I agree with Hoover’s assessment LA28 has "exceeded all expectations, broken all Olympic records by any measure” when there are multiple missed deadlines with the city that continue to accumulate. A group of state legislators are demanding LA28 make its human rights strategy public

There's a reason why I'm not an elected official. But, show some dignity. Show some leadership. Leave.

Listen here for the excellent conversation in the latest episode of LA Podcast on #LA28, covering Casey Wasserman, Mayor Bass, and the Accountability Black Hole of the Olympics. (starts @ 17:30)

Until this country reckons with police and policing, nothing will improve.

I’ve come to realize people think slurs are just words that hurt our feelings. No. Slurs, particularly the N-word, F-word, antisemitic terms etc. aren’t taboo because of that. It’s because historically when these terms are said they precede or pair with pitchforks, torches, lynchings & gas chambers.

Minutes into the State of the Union, Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) was escorted out by the Sergeant at Arms for holding up a sign, "Black People Aren't Apes" -- a reference to Trump posting a racist AI-generated video depicting the Obamas as apes.

Would be funny if it happened

When people tell you who they are, believe them

This is a very very very obvious point to make but shops and movie rental places and record stores are all more fun than buying things online

You’re not crazy. The anti-trans movement is not organic; it was funded by pedophilic billionaires like Jeffrey Epstein who backed a network of conservatives to accuse the same people they were sexually abusing of being the real danger. @madycast.com exposes the truth in our in-depth report.

I seriously don't get why "no war with Iran" is so difficult to say. What case could possibly be made by USG to satisfy these Democrats who should absolutely know better? I don't blame them for where we are but the point of being the opposition is to clearly oppose.

Hard to scare teens this way when the school safety officer they see every day shows up dressed tactically for equally kinetic situations (Lunch Period).

"Five teenagers arrested during a protest in Quakertown last week face charges of aggravated assault and related crimes after a judge ruled Tuesday that prosecutors had presented sufficient evidence for the case against them to proceed, according to sources." share.inquirer.com/HQ4QSJ

You can’t scare teens like that man teens don’t scare it’s not how they function

Bad article for several reasons.First, it claims generative "A.i." "has become a routine part of creative work" and then cites a survey by Adobe - ADOBE - saying 83% of those it surveyed used "A.i." in their work. That's like asking Trump how his polls are. theconversation.com/artists-and-...

Look at his little arms

This campaign is foreshadowing. The ultimate goal is the total abstraction and dereliction of responsibility. They intend to set a legal precedent that what they call "AI" has Rights. I have met legal scholars for Tech orgs who are working toward this. It's been the plan since before ChatGPT.

I wouldn't be sad to see @algreen.house.gov cause some more good trouble at tonight's SOTU. Also, @tomsuozzi.bsky.social is on this list and I am primarying him. www.votewelch.com

Now see if Black people get to knocking all this shit over I don't want to hear a word

Reporter: Should we incinerate 10 million people for fun? Democrat: Well it is certainly an unsettling thing. I haven't seen a convincing case to date that we should do so. The President should make his argument for incineration before the House Subcommittee on Liquidation.

Softer than freshly fallen powder

I would rather a very simple "no war with Iran" like AOC said

There is so much hand-wringing about how left-wing anti-Zionism has made Zionism a toxic word in the US, and so little for how the "Jerusalem Post" is apparently labeling the Reform Jewish movement "anti-Zionists" for asking for an egalitarian prayer space at the Kotel.

Not lost on me that a piece ostensibly about rising antisemitism in the Democratic Party focuses almost entirely on Zohran Mamdani, Uncommitted, AOC and Mejia and not, like, the guy with the Nazi tattoo.

For the first time since @projectsaltbox.bsky.social launched their DHS warehouse acquisition tracker, the number of canceled sales is higher than any of the other warehouse-related figures. We've reached a tipping point, folks. lookerstudio.google.com/reporting/b0...

another great addition to the “oh so it’s illegal to have friends now?” canon

With protesters calling for an eviction moratorium at Minneapolis City Hall this morning (to quote the banners): “We fought ICE to keep our neighbors here”; “now we’re fighting to keep ‘em in their homes.”

After lighting herself on fire?????????????

worked example of how the AI bubble scam works: imaginary private valuations that are whatever you need them to be. then you write these on your books with a $ in front. then you borrow against them. been yelling about this for a while. still i'm sure it'll be fine with a core of real value. right.

“His poll numbers are too low, we need to make him look better” like

Were they looking at poll numbers for a different guy? Because the guy speaking at the SOTU is really unpopular, to the point where clapping politely could lose you votes
