Truly astounding as a trans person to watch your community be told we're not worthy of consideration by Democrats on Monday, be told to be silent and grateful all of Tuesday, and by Wednesday an entire state has criminalized trans citizens' existence.

they loved these guys when they were “investigating” “haitians eating cats & dogs,” or “somalis doing fraud” but now they go after jewish enclaves w the same substandard racial agitprop and everyone that cheered them on are losing their minds

Because of the National driver register, since their licenses are suspended, trans folks cannot move to another state and get a new license until they remove the suspension on their existing Kansas license. They can't even escape this by moving to another state.

People are saying just ask him and I will but it’s not right to do it in a post about doing it I’m going to ask him when he makes a post about tax policy or something.

Israel responsible for 84 of 129 journalist killings in 2025 tracked by the Committee to Protect Journalists.

there's so much elite media denial that it was the exact same group of people promoting vaccine denial as were promoting the trans panic. reading tweets like this or singal's ny times op-ed, you'd think they were two separate and opposed groups.

He is undergoing emergency surgery in Gaza and urgently needs medical evacuation Please let your Ramadan charity be his lifeline your donation could be the reason my child lives chuffed.org/project/168482

Finally, the bug is back with a round of the Guinness.

Beast mode

State of the Union will be helpful for letting us know what Donald Trump thinks about everything. Until now, these thoughts have been shadowed in a veil of secrecy.

My university just unilaterally announced a deal with Gemini, which announced a partnership with the US Dept of War in December, and as a foreign faculty member whose work is on empire and decolonization and whose work and correspondence have been on university Google platforms for years, I am DONE.

A coalition of +40 organizations are mobilizing tomorrow morning against proposed legislation in NYC Council to create protest “buffer zones” that activists and legal scholars say will stifle and criminalize protest and seems focused on stopping pro-Palestine demos against illegal land sale events.

I’m raising rent relief funds for Minneapolis immigrant families affected by ICE. Donations are down, but ICE is very much still here and there’s still so much need. Can you help? V: @Ian-Coldwater CA: $iancoldwater PP: @coldwater We keep us housed 💛 Please share and help if you can! Thank you!

excited to hear tech companies will now be allowed to build their own power plants for their data centers. i am sure the makers of "the app that tells kids to kill themselves" will responsibly operate coal plants

Also I don't understand why we're indulging the essentially science fiction concerns (we already have science fiction!) when the current concerns include "does not actually work as advertised" on top of all the other ethical violations.

also IF the AI doomerism was correct and we are in the process of building literal Skynet the ONLY ethical way forward would be to deploy lethal military violence against the AI industry and it's researchers worldwide. If you aren't suggesting that, you don't believe this is end-the-world serious.

Na zum Glück haben wir so tollkühne Journis, die sich um die wirklich wichtigen Dinge im Leben kümmern.

just fyi if you wear these around me I *will* break them and I’m willing to deal with the consequences of that.

Everything said about the tariff war is BOOORRING. Except for this hilarious Jenny Chase riff on a cartoon that sums it up. If you want to know the grubby details, @katemac.bsky.social and I tell you about the green fortresses, & the cat & mouse game afoot phenomenalworld.org/analysis/gre...

cant.stop.laughing

Weird guy who looks like a big lizard and has a big lizard tongue and talks like a snake where he says things like yessssss precioussssss gemssssss: the big mistake the Democratic Party has made is not being culturally normal

It's not an exaggeration to say that this is how Republicans used to talk & the types of dog whistles they used to employ before they found out it's perfectly acceptable to talk The Current Way So the shift hereis the logical progression when the only expectation of a party is to be The Lesser Evil

I’m sorry please correct me if I’m insane and wrong… but is this newsom saying he “fell prey” to not being “culturally normal” because he was supportive of same sex marriage?

in addition to evoking the "deceiver" trope (he "fell prey" to trans/LGBTQ+ ppl), Newsom is the LEAST CULTURALLY NORMAL prominent Dem politician right now. he owns a winery. he married Kimberly Guilfoyle. when they split up he dated 19-year-old (when he was 38). he podcasts w/Steve Bannon, etc.

OpenAI is a menace. Two recent stories make that clearer than ever. One day you have Sam Altman denigrating humanity to defend AI. The next, WSJ reveals OpenAI could have alerted Canadian police of a potential mass shooter, but refused pressure from employees. That person went on to kill 8 people.

can we please let anyone but the worst people be in control of the world?

“astrology for men” was too generous

The Ford Pinto had a death rate of 85 people for 10 million cars sold. The Cybertruck hasn't sold 10 million, but the fatality rate so far maths out to 1,452 people killed per 10 million sold. The Cybertruck may be the deadliest road car, for the occupants, ever sold. fuelarc.com/evs/its-offi...

When Gavin Newsom says "the Democrats need to be more culturally normal" with "less focus on pronouns" what he's actually saying is "the trannies aren't normal and don't normalize them."

One of the families we've been helping, the father was finally released from the facility in Texas and then from Whipple. They dumped him on the street with no coat, no phone, nothing, in single digit temps. Bless the people who monitor Whipple 24/7

Redemption arc for this post that got everyone mad at me for weeks

wow it's almost like they should've tried to appeal to those voters instead of just assuming their support in exchange for literally nothing at all.

The Trump administration is warehousing pregnant child rape victims in a Texas facility, away from adequate medical care, in a state with one of the highest maternal mortality rates in the US, so that these child rape victims won’t be able to get abortions. www.throughline.news/p/the-trump-

Gut 30 Jahre nach der Unterzeichnung des Friedensabkommens von Dayton, mit dem der Bosnienkrieg im November 1995 beendet wurde, sorgen Sniper-Verbrechen neuerlich für Schlagzeilen. Der Verdacht: Wohlhabende Ausländer gingen auf Menschenjagd in Bosnien: www.blaetter.de/ausgabe/2026...

god damn, @postoctobrist.bsky.social almost on the button.

I think Netanyahu’s war was about the expansion of the Israeli project of colonialism and also his own desire to deflect from corruption charges but sure I guess it could have been a long game to screw over his supporters in the US Democratic Party who have helped with that project for decades

Kleiner Knigge für deutsche Staatsräsonler: den Saal verlassen, wenn "Genozid in Gaza" ausgesprochen wird. Wie peinlich & kleingeistig! Der "Eklat" dieser Berlinale ist nicht das Aussprechen von Fakten, sondern dass ein deutscher Minister wortwörtlich vor der Wahrheit flüchtet.

Mehr Angst vor Kindern mit einer anderen Muttersprache als vor den Faschos in der Regierung.

Das ist für mich wirklich eines der großen Rätsel aktueller (aka die letzten 30 Jahre) Wirtschafts- und eigentlich auch Geopolitik sowie von Auto- & Energiekonzernstrategien in DE/EU: Wie kann man so lange ignorieren, was die der größte Markt der Welt als seine offizielle Politik veröffentlicht?

Ilost my daughter Maha to the bombing & Masa to starvation😭💔 My son Ibrahim miraculously survived but now I fear hunger will steal him from me Today,I stand alone,lost amidst the bitterness of loss I implore you With a broken heart Please help me keep my child alive ✅️Molly chuffed.org/project/161145

Between this, the Nuzzi affair, and the Charlie Squirt hagiography, you can really tell that all of these "journalists" are just content creators and the circling the wagons is class solidarity

Time once again to exonerate themselves and blame their constituents

Mamdani was asked this question 10,000,0000 times and he answered it 10,000,000 times in affirmative, on the conditionality that it be a state with equal rights and not a Jewish state, and the questioners were mad because *what they meant was as an unequal, Jewish supremacist state*.

The Mamdani case should really have been the end of the "do you recognize Israel's right to exist" motte and bailey for all time since he answered in the affirmative and everyone who loves asking that question took his answer as in the negative.

Mr. President please provide me the plan for punching our own collective national dick before you punch our own collective national dick

So it's ok to start a war illegally against a nation of 92 million, for whom you have "no sympathy" as long as the purpose is clear? The Big Dem line that Trump is a demented fascist domestically while simultaneously agreeing his foreign policy decisions just isn't gonna cut it anymore.
