The Supreme Court did not strike down conversion therapy bans today. Not nationwide. Not in Colorado. Not anywhere. Here's what actually happened in Chiles v. Salazar—and why the coverage you're seeing serves the conservative legal movement more than it serves you.

I confirmed these posts from @brandonfriedman.bsky.social. If you’re in my relatively small circle just save yourself the trouble, do not watch it. The president has lost his mind.

Doesn't look like much... Souch power in a such a little package.

I wonder why. Not, of course, that any of us could’ve seen that coming, right?

David Duchovny played a transgender woman, Denise, on Twin Peaks in 1990 and when greeting Cooper, the show's protagonist, she says, "I prefer Denise, if you don't mind" and Cooper responds with "OK" and her identity is settled within a couple seconds and was a non-issue, 36 years ago.

They do not care about you. At all.

Is the Strait of Hormuz actually open? That's a key question as a ceasefire deal reached Wednesday has halted the Iran war for two weeks. Iran has had a chokehold on the strait, a critical passage for global oil flow.

They sure sound like friends.

Lots going on...

I have real mixed feelings about this. I hate the AI slop, and the Iranian regime are not good guys. But the American regime are also not good guys, and the criticisms are on point.

I’m actually pretty stoked for Viktor Orban to lose his election in a week. Will be very satisfying.

"To put it bluntly, an X post today receives less than 3% of the views a single tweet delivered seven years ago." If you think it is necessary to be on Twitter to communicate your fact-based worldview, the reality is that worldview is being smothered.

Q: As of today, who controls the Strait of Hormuz? LEAVITT: We expect that the strait will be opened immediately Q: Who controls the strait right now? LEAVITT: *refuses to answer*

Yesterday was one of those days when a lot of normal people remembered our president is super erratic and unhinged

On the rock just above the sculpin in the first photo is a small hermit crab, look for the banded red and white legs. My technique is to crawl low across the rocks until I can slowly, ever so slowly, reach into the tide pool and push the shutter button, in essence shooting blind.

Great photo of the only good planet obscured by a large rock (with a fascinating history).

I'd really like to see leadership calling for impeachment and removal, regardless of whether they have the votes to get it done. Same way we called for marriage equality before we had the votes. A leader's job is to lead. If a genocidal threat isn't impeachable, then nothing is.

2.5 Million Poor Americans Have Lost Food Assistance Since Trump-GOP's Big Ugly Bill Signed Into Law

One man put us in this deadly quagmire. One man is wrecking our economy. One man’s immigration agents have terrorized our communities. One man has ridden roughshod over our system of government. We said "No Kings" 250 years ago. Congress must say "No Kings" today. If not, they must be replaced.

Do you have any older or disabled people in your life that need assistance? Or will? 👇

Before I became an American, I was Lebanese. Parts of my family live in Lebanon. Anyway, you don't need those bona fides to feel this way, but what is happening in Lebanon right now is a complete outrage. The people there, who mostly are just trying to carve out a living, don't deserve this.

“Trump went from making insane genocidal threats this morning to hyping the ‘golden age’ of Iran hours later, and he received no concessions in between. He’s an absolute basket case who needs to be removed from power before he follows through on one of his mass murder fantasies.”

All this, and unilateral withdrawal is still the least worst option.
