A Trans woman in Kansas changed her license to M because of the gender marker ban passed earlier this year. She gets pulled over and they didn't believe the license was hers. They later charge her for driving with an invalid license. She complied with the law and was still charged criminally.

I am *never* going to get over the Court holding that targeted student loan forgiveness was a "major question" that Congress needed to weigh in on, but refusing to intervene to stop the dismantling of the entire cabinet agency overseeing the student loan program.

We. Can. Build. A. World. Where. We. Do. Not. Mock. People’s. Physical. Appearance. (Or ability! Ahem!) This includes size. AND clothing choices. Hair. Makeup. Even, yes, body modifications. What matters, for the 28295282th time, is people's words & actions. What they say & do.

Some things Labour and Dems need to understand: 1) National elections are base elections 2) "swing voters" are not moderates, they are usually cross-pressured, low-info, or inconsistent 3) voters are persudable 4) voters contain conflicting narratives, and tacking right activates their narratives.

And after the Arch, we headed up the street from our house to the Mexican restaurant to listen to a Beatles cover band play a street concert while we enjoyed stumble-home margaritas. #WebsterGroves

At the Gateway Arch, listening to @starstryder.space talking about exoplanets. I haven't seen Dr. Gay in person in years, and it's great to see how she communicates science to the children here.

Anti-trans folks make a big show of "can you define a women???", but they can't define "man". Trans woman: "You're a man! (My misunderstanding of) Biology determines all!" Cis male trans ally: "You're not a man, because you don't meet my social expectations!" Pick a lane, bigots.

I've been using Claude Code for a few months, and it makes producing code easier. But deskilling is real. If I were about to retire, I wouldn't care about the long-term cost of the short term gain. But I'm not old/rich enough to retire soon enough not to worry about what I'm doing to myself.

Donald Trump will soon be flying on a 1) major national security vulnerability, 2) crime scene, and 3) impeachable offense

Friend shared photos from the top of the Washington Monument this morning. Looks like the administration tried to paint over the "8647" numbers that were burned into the grass last week (they're now clearer) & has left utter devastation on the South Lawn & the Ellipse following the UFC fight.

My cousin died of a cancer caused by HPV. He wouldn't have died if he had had this vaccine years ago. RFK Jr. and the Trump administration want more Americans to die unnecessarily like my cousin did.

If you watch the Obama Library, the World Cup, and the Knicks parade this afternoon -- and nothing else -- you can actually see the America we're supposed to be at age 250

The whole “the JCPOA took hard diplomacy to negotiate & was signed by seven countries” thing has been erased from the news, as if those aspects of it did not matter. So, too, for that matter, has the actual <content> of the JCPOA, which had actual mechanisms that were working.

not valid and even if valid still wouldn't be sound

On the Cardinals broadcast on TNT, the announcer just said that the Arch was designed by I.M. Pei.

At the end of the term I asked my college creative wriing students to submit anonymous thoughts on AI. No real surprises: Mood ranges from resignation to despair, capitulation from embittered erosion of standards to total, feelings of betrayal from deep to furious. 1/

The geneticist who discovered the SRY gene on the idiocy of using it to determine "biological sex" in sport. It's far more complex than policy makers with inadequate scientific literacy would have people believe. theconversation.com/world-athlet...

Ready to watch "Tempest" at Forest Park with our friends the Whomptons.

And the thing is, they'll probably be pretty successful. They've learned over the years that they can just repeat something over and over and a.) 40% of the country will believe/claim to believe it, and b.) mainstream news outlets will treat their claims as legitimate in the name of balance or w/e.

I'm a big believer in freedom, which is why it sounds perfectly reasonable that the government should have on-demand access to genetic samples from any person suspected of pissing or shitting where we say they can't piss or shit. You know. Small government stuff 🫠🫡😵‍💫🙃 www.advocate.com/politics/sta...

i really, truly, find this offensive

i hope media executives are taking note of the tens of thousands of people who for several hours on a friday night have stayed glued to livestreams of scaffolding being built just so they could witness his name getting knocked off a building

It's weird to see a side being completely outclassed in a USMNT World Cup match, and it's the _other_ team.

Also don’t invest in Space X… Per ig: @/your.richbff

There's no better distillation of Project 2025 than this: an illegal action, taken without any public oversight, for inherently corrupt purposes, now held to be irreversible for no other reason than because they added poison pills to make it unacceptably damaging.

Hi! I'm Bret Rhett Chet, here to tell you why you should buy and hodl SpaceX stonk. For a mere $135/share, you get pro forma tangible book value of $7.85/share, an immediate 94% dilution. New investors are putting up 48% of all capital ever invested in SpaceX in exchange for 4.2% of the shares. /1

@coribush.bsky.social @repwesleybellmo.bsky.social Why do you two both continue to enable Musk by posting on Xitter? Your district is deep blue, but you keep supporting a fascist website that is now being used to inflame a pogrom. There is no advantage to hanging out with Nazis - please leave X.

Matthew was recognized by the Board of Education for his 36 ACT score this evening (along with others getting recognized for athletic, gaming, artistic, and other achievements).

"Something remarkable happened in April. For the first time in history, wind and solar generated more electricity than gas across the entire planet. Not in a country. Not in a region. Globally." Tons of great news here from Danny Kennedy (via @billmckibben.bsky.social's newsletter, which rules).

But lets make sure that no one shows up in a tan suit. We wouldn't want any disrespect to the dignity and decorum of the White House.

For over a decade, Lance has been a staple in the Angular world 🏗️ His favorite evolution? Signals. They’ve fundamentally improved how we write templates, components, and services across the board. See what Lance is building: github.com/lmfinney 💻

Just a casual reminder that eliminating the ability of Jewish people to participate in sport and clubs was indeed a step towards the Final Solution. Genocide always starts with this kind of thing so that you'll have momentum to go along with the horrors to come. People are being conditioned.

Settling in for "fat ham", a retelling of Hamlet placed in the modern American South. We heard about The Black Rep at @ethicalstl.org this morning and want to support this vital institution (and get our theater on).

Saying people who were attempting to prevent their neighbors from being kidnappinged primarily by using whistles, car horns, and shouting in the face of ice agents wearing body armor and carrying ar-15's were "half the confrontation" is pretty nasty work.

Do you see the sleight of hand being played here? There wasn't some giant collection of new research that supports banning care for trans teens. The overwhelming majority of research supports care for trans teens. But it's "misinformation" to believe it because the British government said so.

Wait, we've all been making this mistake as a society?

To be clear, the UFC arena at the bulldozed White House isn’t just trashy, tacky, disrespectful and inappropriate, it is also an illegal corrupt for-profit scheme, destruction of govt property and another way for a sadistic criminal and his rabid KKK cultists to promote violence.

Our members and friends gathered again to assemble 1000 free emergency contraception kits for @beaconrepro.bsky.social. These kits support the reproductive health of the St. Louis region. If you want to help, we will do this again August 9, September 27, and November 8.

We have a peach tree that produces a lot, but that the squirrels feast on. We put nets around the branches to keep squirrels out. But a snake apparently tried to get some peaches. And strangled itself in the netting. This is not what my wife was trying to harvest...

Xavier Becerra (& frankly all democrats), stop the (at best) mealymouthed nonsense and just say Trans Rights out loud, w/ your whole chest, & mean it. Like… don't Just drop your anchors & stop letting republican propaganda drift you to the right; start Actively Pushing in the other damn direction.
