This was more than 40 years ago, and while a big caveat is that it's the 80s, the fact is the transgender issue was being handled better in 1985 than people are handling it now, which shows you how much of a damn boondoggle it is now.

This cannot be allowed to go forward.

This opinion is soon going to be recognized universally: Trump is the most notorious criminal in modern history. Not since Hitler has any leader of a country plundered, pillaged, and personally enriched himself so obscenely, while giving ZERO fucks to the rule of law.

Everything about this is fake. The Pentagon is recruiting hundreds of troops to pretend they’re spectators at Trump’s UFC cage-fighting event. They have to pay their own way and meet height and weight requirements. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

The media is failing us on every level! Trump owns the networks through intimidation and fraud. Accountability is up to us! #SheShed

GOLDMAN DESK: “.. this was another one of those weeks that revealed some elements of speculative enthusiasm. .. “.. I’m not saying that length has risen to the level that marked past bubbles, but on my scale of -10 to +10, I’d argue we’re up around +8.” [Pasquariello]

Hey remember when Trump said he didn’t know what Project 2025 was and the super serious mainstream media swallowed it? 😕🤷🏼

The Republican Party quietly deleted their own ad attacking Ken Paxton's record on crime... because Paxton is now the Republican Party's nominee to represent Texas in the U.S. Senate. Figured if the ad is important enough to delete, it's important enough to see...

Some good news on the medical front.. Pancreatic cancer halted by virus injection in three patients.. www.newscientist.com/article/2528...

She speaks the truth.

While we seem stuck innovating better ways to burn through tokens, actually exciting shit is happening in China. insideevs.com/news/797182/...

Hourly wages are up 3% since 2019. Corporate profits are up 50%. Labor’s piece of the economic pie is the smallest it’s been in over 75 years, while corporate profits’ share is the *biggest* it’s been since 1950. This is what a rigged economy looks like.

I'm sure it's just a happy coincidence.

I returned to Delaney Hall today with Rep. Menendez and Rep. Pallone after disturbing reports that detainees were being beaten. We confirmed that four people were taken to the hospital. The inhumane conditions inside Delaney Hall must end. It is time to shut this facility down.

CANADA REJECTS BOTH US BIDS – Picks SWEDISH GlobalEye on CANADIAN Airframe, Boeing Completely OUT! In a stunning move, Canada just rejected Boeing and L3Harris to choose Saab’s GlobalEye built on a Bombardier jet made in Montreal. No American parts, no US tech — a bold signal of shifting alliances.

For clarification...

I was there. ❤️🤍💙

Silencing freedom of the press. Essential for all dictators.

The “Brick House” is crumbling The Commodores bow out of the 250th event in DC Event is falling apart… brick-by-brick

🤣

How many times does this have to be repeated before everyone gets the message? I'm so tired.....

Every day, without fail on a post about someone upgrading to an EV, ‘but the batteries don’t last, they aren’t good in the cold’ Over 98% of vehicle sales in *Norway* are EVs. EVs are *great* in the cold and have many advantages. Countries with substandard infrastructure are more apparent as 🌎🔋🚗

Sooooo let me get this straight. The motherf🌸🌸ker rolls up into Seattle, sportin’ his $300M yacht, just as META lets 1400 employees go from WA state, META. GTFO. I honestly don’t think the optics could get anymore Dickensian. #Pinks #ProudBlue

Still the best way to keep Evangelicals on your side: appeal to their hatred of others.

JUST IN: The personal savings rate dropped to 2.6% (down from 5.5% a year ago). In 60 years, it’s only been this low twice: 1. COVID pandemic spending in 2021 2. Right before the 2008 Great Recession

Surrounding yourself with gold doesn't change the trailer park soul

Now that Would be So Logical…. SO IF WE DON'T LET ATHLETES BET ON GAMES THEY HAVE THE ABILITY TO INFLUENCE.... WHY DO WE ALLOW CONGRESS TO INVEST IN COMPANIES THEY REGULATE?🤷🏻

We are the new Evil Empire in international eyes

Redistribute their wealth

Loved that magazine growing up. I miss the satire

This does not bode well

What a disgrace. Says it all, really. 😕🇺🇸

"The autocrat does not just flout the law; he renders it so fungible that as social or moral framework, it becomes meaningless," writes @judith-levine.bsky.social. "The autocrat does not just defy the popular will; he dismisses it."

New York Attorney General Letitia James and New Jersey Attorney General Jennifer Davenport sent FIFA subpoenas regarding their ticketing practices on Wednesday.

Is he trying to start yet another war? What is wrong with him?

ICYMI — @facethenation.bsky.social : “Trump's approval has hit 37%, lowest of his second term. Only 29% say the economy is good. Americans feel stressed, financially insecure, and don't believe their income is keeping up with inflation.”

In case you missed it. #OnlyInMonroe #Colbert

Needs repeating!

1/5 It is apparently necessary to say this: public health officials should not model unsafe wildlife handling for social media engagement. 🐍 Grabbing wild snakes with bare hands is dangerous, even when the species is believed to be nonvenomous.

Very well put. Proximal versus distal goals.
