One of my favourite sides of politics/media.

The NYT publishes outright cranks that lie and troll minority communities. This isn't conservatives with disagreeable views.

Over the next couple weeks I'm going to give some perfume samples to people who donate $15-$50 to the Trans Continental Pipeline's relocation support for trans people in hostile states tcpipeline.org. I'll post a description of a bundle of 2-6 samples, you send a receipt screenshot & DM your address

“Every Republican president comes to office, cuts benefits for the poor, cuts taxes for the rich, raises prices, and then bombs a Middle East country.” @mehdirhasan.bsky.social explains how Trump’s ‘anti-war’ campaign was a lie, noting the president has bombed seven countries in his second term.

For what it’s worth, I don’t have any tattoos.

The reason you can’t give a single inch on anything be it trans rights or dignity for unhoused people is that they, democrats and republicans alike, will take it and say thanks what else is in your pockets? They won’t say thanks actually.

Let me say this: There's a fairly high chance that a court will take a look at this and stay the law and you will forget about the fact that the Kansas Legislature tried to criminalize nearly every trans person in the state. That will be a mistake.

Maryland is suing the Department of Homeland Security to block a planned ICE detention center in Washington County, saying the federal government failed to do a required environmental impact study and public health concerns. w/ @maddioneill.bsky.social www.thebanner.com/politics-pow...

Worst of all, it appears to be the only way the FBI targets people for investigations. It looks at Laura Loomer's little Jigsaw from Saw panopticon feed and determines who to target next. There is no professional or personal use case for being on Twitter in 2026. It's an engagement trap for racists.

I want us to understand this in the context of these same people killed affirmative action using Chinese-American plaintiffs because they said helping Black people was discriminatory against Asian Americans and anti-merit. Once again: it was never about that. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

There's no immigration crisis. There's no voter fraud crisis. There was no trans athlete crisis. It's all bullshit

This is basically how conservatism works though. Pretend there's a crisis of some kind, doesn't really matter what it is, or even if anyone would actually believe you care about it, and use that as an excuse for whatever you wanted to do but would get yelled at for otherwise

We want to support Girlguiding and the Women's Institute to remain inclusive. We think the law is on our side, and we're offering to cover all their costs. But we need you to tell them how important trans inclusion is to you 👇

The whole point was reverse incrementalism, exploit low-knowledge voters and readers with salacious descriptions of things they’d never heard of, and in a few years they’ll be willing to eagerly feed a whole community of people they don’t know to the wolves. And NYT brokered it to the liberal press.

Trans people for the past decade: This isn't actually about sports or ensuing there's appropriate screening before someone starts medically transitioning. The goal is to effectively criminalize the existence of all trans people. Very Reasonable Journalists: You're crazy

“We can learn to read for a more inclusive world, instead of wasting the planet's diminishing resources masking our differences” merveilles.town/@zoy/1161060...

It’s giving middle passage

You know I love Mamdani. But this is a Schumer post. Please announce some kind of sanction against NYU Langone and/or some specific help for trans kids. Concern is not enough.

@jasmineclarkforga.bsky.social with your help, we can send the first woman with a STEM PhD to Congress, ever. #WhatsThePlan www.jasmine4ga.com

Rather than ascribing agency to machines that are built by other humans getting rich off of doing that, we should ascribe the agency to those humans and talk about what they're doing via their companies: stealing data, killing the environment, exploiting labor, and deceiving the public.

correct. Those days are DONE.

Time for Mayor Mamdani to live up to his campaign promises and ensure care is kept safe for New York trans kids. @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social @mayor.nyc.gov

@nycplan.org willl have a statement later this morning including information about what to do next.

If you (whoever you are) give a few dollars away a month, you're beating Elon Musk in relative donations.

Thirty years of concern. Never enough courage.

To hell with a Joe Rogan for the left. Can I have a Mitch McConnell for Democrats, please? Imagine having someone who would go as hard in the paint for civil rights as McConnell did for antiblackness.

omg everybody go draw a horse this is what the internet was made for gradient.horse

Country Singer, songwriter Charley Crockett well said......

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

Let’s make it viral folks. Thank you @histoftech.bsky.social.

I stand with County Executive Calvin Ball as he signs emergency legislation today prohibiting privately owned buildings from being used as ICE detention centers. Howard County chose dignity, accountability, and its people. Tune into our event now: bit.ly/4a2VtHw

Seems kinda' crazy that a guy getting paid to let the government run a gulag on his property also owns an upscale cafe in a county that went 28 percent for Trump in 2024. Maybe the people who regularly dine there need to be better informed about who owns it.

TIL about Hubert Henry Harrison, radical Black socialist writer and organizer in the 1910-20s kolektiva.social/@MikeDunnAut...

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

Please understand that this is what is happening here. Abusive men are in a feminized network encountering mechanisms meant to protect people, and they are appealing to a popular audience attempting to undermine those mechanisms by characterizing them as shrill, hysterical, "paranoid." Feminine.

I can look at how his behavior online with women is harassing, many women and in particular Black women warn that he is a harasser, how he is gleefully bragging about how he is going to infiltrate protest Signal chats he's been kept out of and... certainly that assessment seems to track.

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to wake up at 5 am and don 30 lbs of tactical gear you bought off amazon to sit in a chevy tahoe in the parking lot of the elementary school where you kidnapped a five year old kid to intimidate his teachers. good luck soldier

the engines of planetary annihilation and capital accumulation are built on the bones of millions of dead or forgotten working class girls.

This is. And thou art. There is no safety. There is no end. The word must be heard in silence. There must be darkness to see the stars. The dance is always danced above the hollow place, above the terrible abyss.

They wore yellow stars to complain about vaccine mandates

No, this isn't enough to vote yes. ICE already has too much $$ and is already violating their own rules and will ignore. Just as DOJ is not releasing the Epstein files. Dems, grow a spine and learn how TO RESIST, not accommodate. @schumer.senate.gov @vanhollen.senate.gov @alsobrooks.senate.gov

New CBS contributors announced: Grand Moff Tarkin, Lex Luthor, Norman Osborn, Cruella De Ville, Javert, Titus Andronicus, Killmonger, and the Beastfly from Silksong.

It was an ugly wake-up call for me, the dad of a new Kindergartener, to realize that the public school system has basically been completely abandoned by both parties since before my own time in it, and all of the "non-essential" stuff is provided entirely by donations and volunteer labor

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

What's happening in Minnesota is one reason the Reconstruction Amendments banned insurrectionists from holding office. Unfortunately, the originalists on the Supreme Court interpreted the plain language of the amendment to mean its opposite.

Heartbreak doesn’t convey the devastation of what happened to Alex Jeffrey Pretti today. His own government killed him in cold blood. The Senate cannot pass the DHS funding bill to allow these disgusting actions to continue.

Either whip your caucus to block the DHS/ICE/CBP funding bill in the Senate or step the fuck down.
