“Re ‘There are a lot of people on your side who will be in the Epstein Files too!’: No there aren't, my side is the ‘People Who Don't Fuck Children’ side, anyone not on this side can get all the way into the bin, what side are YOU on, exactly?” — John Scalzi

"Centrists" have commitment issues

Justice for Ava.

I'm kinda sad that there haven't been any Nintendo Online icon elements for Pokémon Legends Z-A.

"Leftists are the real fascists!"

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far. So much work remains to be done.

What a coincidence!

some years, Circulatory System Walking Through the Kitchen Day just completely sneaks up on you

This 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽 There’s a constant concept that Muslim people hate queer people and want us dead. And sure, yes, there is a small fraction of extremists. But apples for apples there’s probably more queer hating white evangelical extremists. I love how Mamdani has publicly broken their brains on this.

If you believe the man who’s been fighting tooth & nail to keep $200 away from starving children all in the name of TAKING AWAY YOUR HEALTHCARE is suddenly about to cut u a $2000 check I really hope u donate your brain to science when you die so we can get to the bottom of how idiots like you exist

I’m so pissed at how all these networks and everyone are not showing white people when talking about SNAP. We’re the largest demographic of SNAP recipients yet they’re primarily showing Black and Brown people and we all know why they’re doing it!

I really hope Americans understand that the forced famine in Gaza and this are intrinsically connected

Senate update: Republicans are now trying to sneak a backdoor national abortion ban into their government funding bill. Republicans will stop at nothing to control women's health care decisions.

I wish cis people understood how it feels to see Harry Potter every-fucking-where constantly.

Why is fascism right-wing?

"i asked grok" "i asked chatgpt" yeah well i asked carl sagan and he said the greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance but the illusion of knowledge 🧪

9. The ACLU posted a response to the ruling on Bluesky indicating that trans people should hold off trying to update passports. bsky.app/profile/aclu...

SCOTUS has granted a stay in Trump v. Orr, the trans passport case, meaning that the government will be able to once again deny gender marker changes to trans passport applicants. This is a terrible decision with horrifying consequences for trans folks. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

They've changed it back again now, but changing a quote is a huge red flag. The BBC are repeatedly demonstrating that there are ideologues directly interfering with the meaning of stories they report relating to trans people, and this should be a far bigger deal than it is

heads up to anyone who holds trans kids near: amy harmon from the nyt is searching for and having a hard time finding people to interview to find out exactly what trans kids are doing when their care is limited or cut off, and for purposes of community safety, please shut the fuck up around her.

this is interesting. i strongly prefer for someone to assume my pronouns. i also think there is assumption that pronouns and gender are same thing when one is what you prefer to be called and one is what you actually are. in other words it is okay to want to be called the technically ‘wrong’ thing

Mamdani going so hard for trans right and winning is some juicy proof that every dem that abandoned us didn’t do it for politically advantageous reasons. They did it because they’re transphobes and they will lose for it

Here ya go!

loudly and strongly supporting trans people wins elections

Louder for the people in the back

WOULD JAMES CARVILLE AND GAVIN NEWSOM LIKE TO COME FORWARD AND EAT SHIT

I gotta give it up to the writers tho. If NYC elects a Muslim mayor on the day Dick Cheney died, that is one hell of a slow played story arc. Every time you want to fire 2025's writers room they give you a little narrative resolution as a treat.

This to me is the game. I don’t care if Schumer doesn’t like Mamdani, but for him to stand silently by while sex pest Cuomo leans into gutter racism and Islamophobia while accepting endorsements from Trump, Musk and Miller is outrageous from the Senate Minority Leader.

ICE is not above the law. Colorado Bureau of Investigation launches probe into use of force at Durango ICE protest. State investigators will look to see if the federal agent, who threw a woman to the ground, violated state criminal law. coloradosun.com/2025/10/30/c...

Let’s be clear, most EBT users are white. The reason he’s specifically lying about “weaves” and we’ve seen so many AI fakes of Black women ranting about food stamps is they need to make BW the face EBT because they know many Americans don’t care if Black people suffer, and some actually wish for it.

If you give a fascist an inch, they will take everything. Do not concede points to them if you want to bargain or negotiate, because they're not here to be civil. They want to eliminate you in the most horrible way they can currently achieve.

The thing about Johnson not swearing in Grijalva is that’s it a test for 2026. If you think they will accept an outcome they don’t like, they will just Grijalva it. So what’s the plan when the GOP says “we ain’t leaving, fuck you, make us.” Because that IS what they are going to say.

Sometimes people apologize to soothe their own hearts and not yours, and you can tell

Friendly reminder that The people who genuinely say "people abuse snap" "people don't deserve welfare" are repeating Hitler's "useless-eaters" rhetoric, and they want the poor and disabled to die.

Say it with me.

Glamour Magazine just named “the dolls” their women of the year so I’m reupping this essay

Project 2025 calls for the elimination of SNAP and other government assistance plans. Republicans are using the shut down as their pretext for nixing these vital programs. Dark, dark days coming. Very soon. Sadly, U.S. society is about to lurch toward violent fascism. Dark days ahead.

If you are not at risk it is your civic duty to tell these guys they are embarrassing worms if you see them patrolling a supermarket to arrest people that the government is intentionally starving

There's money available to feed poor people. The Trump regime has deleted that fact from a government website, but it's still a fact.

I will never vote for this ghoul. (This is not an invitation to reply with "I'll vote for him in the general.")

1/? I want to explain why I keep telling Black people to stay off of social media and not do interviews about lost SNAP benefits. Let the white folks do the complaining. I was coming of age when Reagan was going after the "Welfare Queen". She was the single Black mother. They even had a poster woman

That feeling when someone makes the same joke, but louder

"What does antifa do?" My personal experience with antifa.

The official USDA site is blaming trans people for SNAP benefits expiring.

If you're on SNAP you should know: Due to the shutdown Accrued SNAP benefits loaded onto your EBT card for previous months will NOT be available to use after this Friday, Oct 31 **States are urging recipients to use all available EBT benefits before this Friday**
