It's not enough that trans people are having our health care and rights denied to us. They won't be happy until we're denied even the most basic level of respect and dignity, too

I feel comfortable mentioning the time I mildly criticized Jake Tapper on Twitter for a “what do you expect of a defense lawyer“ comment on Twitter and he responded by DM just FURIOUS and resentful I would call him out in public. When people show you who they are, believe them the first time.

They used chains then. They use censorship now. Slavery erased our voices. Segregation erased our achievements — today’s book bans erase the truth. The tactic hasn’t changed. Only the disguise has. Read ERASED before they erase it again: stan.store/gxldsociety/...

"…being alone feels cleaner than being misunderstood…"

The number of ways this is unconstitutional lunacy is…a lot

Jesus fucking hell

What a pathetic fascist manbaby. Fascists are almost always manbabies, but they usually keep their emotional outbursts away from national television.

Peter Gabriel's new track, in which he totally Peter Gabriels the hell out of it for seven and a half minutes youtu.be/gb-sOCk6BP4

Today, the Aquarium’s Executive Director Julie Packard joined voices with the former U.S. Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta in a firm defense of sound science, community and our shared environment, and protecting the California coast from new offshore drilling. mbayaq.co/4qHvLO5

They do however blow up neighborhoods of innocent civilians.

If you work with high school students in NYC, I hope that you will bring them to the Black Zine Fair on May 9. We would love to have them.

I know this has been said many times but that "only democracy in the middle east" lie needs to never be uttered again.

The legal justification the WH gave us for attacking Venezuelan boats in int’l waters without Congressional approval was weak, and exposes the WH and military staff to domestic and international criminal prosecution. They have not even sought to justify strikes within Venezuela.

just want to remind folks that pushback and public outrage stopped them from closing the CDC library. i bet pushback will stop them here, too

Literally this year the MN Speaker was murdered at her home when a white male MAGA chud dressed up as a fake cop & killed her Now mere months later, MAGAs are shocked that daycare operators in MN wouldn't open doors for white male MAGA chuds dressed up as fake journalists, demanding access to kids😐

Let's kick cancer's ass — again! #HodgkinsLymphoma

September 4, 2025 Google signed a $45 million contract with the Israeli prime minister’s office to run a global digital advertising campaign promoting Israeli state messaging during its ongoing genocide in Gaza.

My relapsed/refractory classical Hodgkin's lymphoma is at stage II. For comparison, my initial diagnosis in May 2010 was stage IIIb. I was quite ill at the time. I feel pretty good right now. 👍 Tomorrow I start receiving Brentuximab Vedotin and Nivolumab infusions every three weeks. We've got this.

The US has surpassed 2,000 measles cases for the first time in thirty years. Every one of those cases is a preventable tragedy. Each one represents a child who could die or become disabled because their parents refused to protect them. Shame on RFK Jr and every grifter encouraging this.

Trump has done so much damage to democratic institutions not via clever, well executed strategy, but by acting on authoritarian/bigoted/corrupt impulse, then stubbornly barging ahead if he meets pushback. Manufacturing charges against Abrego Garcia only after deportation failed is a good microcosm.

💯

Daycare centers were also the primary target of the Satanic panic, because fundamentally American religious conservatism is opposed to women having jobs outside the home.

Woeber's horseradish sauce. (I had fries with dinner tonight, and used Woeber's. I'm not a fan of ketchup.)

In less than a year, Trump has nominated at least 216 political appointees who own crypto investments worth between $175 million and $340 million, a ProPublica review found. By @coreygjohnson.bsky.social and @shaw.al

Prosecute them all. Beyond the depravity of this, it's pure theft. The local prosecutor should open an investigation and charge them all.

Just wow. @pluralistic.net.web.brid.gy came out swinging in this article. He's right though and that's the coolest part.

In my entire life I have never been told to apologize for being white. Quite the fucking opposite, in fact.

How it started vs. How it’s going NOW 👀 LA tow truck driver who towed ICE’s car found NOT GUILTY 🦸🏽‍♂️

My jumping spider page has become just me sharing heavy sludge music into the void. Well, here's an old shot from ten years ago of a Phidippus mystaceus adult male from Seminole, Oklahoma. The shot was taken with a Canon 7D with the 100mm macro lens, flash, and homemade diffuser. 🌿 #inverts #macro

So reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) can't fly, but they are VERY MAGICAL. For example, their EYES CHANGE COLOR during the year & they're one of the few large mammals that can see UV. Golden brown in summer, deep blue in winter. Let's talk about the unique visual adaptations of Rudolph and company.

The U.S. House has passed a bill that would make providing gender-affirming medical care to transgender youth a federal felony, punishable by up to 10 years in prison #NOH8

Medicare for All is NOT the same as today’s Medicare. M4A is comprehensive coverage - incl. free choice of providers, plus dental, vision, hearing, mental health, long-term care, rehab, transportation, and hospice services. Learn more at pnhp.org. We need #MedicareForAll pnhp.org/system/asset...

amazing stuff

Hey, GOP, just so you know, we Democrats do not deny that Bill Clinton is knee deep in this shit. Any establishment Dem trying to convince anyone that he's the Chuck Cunningham of the Epstein Files is full of shit and we know it.

The complete Bayeux Tapestry has finally been released and proves that Bishop Odo had absolutely nothing to do with the illegal Norman invasion of England.

🚨THE ATOMIC ENSEMBLE TIME SCALE AT THE NIST BOULDER CAMPUS HAS FAILED🚨 THE HYDROGEN MASER CLOCKS ARE APPROACHING THEIR BACKUP LIMIT! AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! (now w/alt text) Trump take standards.

Found a nest of one of my favorites! A true oddball. Leptomyrmex erythrocephalus, the red-headed spider ant.

I personally don't think that a person should be a TSA agent at O'Hare if they have "straight pride," "ALL lives matter," and "white power" tattoos, but hey, I'm not in charge of DHS these days.

Free, open to all post about the "nuclear device" on a mountain in India the NYTimes has been so exercised about: www.patreon.com/posts/nuclea... It would be great to find it and it isn't keeping me awake at night. The risks involved are relatively low as I discuss.

The Russian “Varshavyanka”-class submarine hit by an SBU drone in Novorossiysk is now leaking fuel and lube into the sea according to Serhii Sternenko. Its rear section is partially flooded, with two compartments reportedly submerged after the hull was breached.

2013 was the first time in 30 years the Maine shrimp season was canceled. It never reopened (if you had Maine shrimp in the intervening years, it was from the small "test catch" done to see if they could reopen. This year's catch was < 7 pounds). This is just so sad. We did this.

For 20 minutes, Americans watched Donald Trump address the nation, “drenched in pure panic as he tried to bully an entire nation into admitting he’s doing a great job,” @radiofreetom.bsky.social argues:

I will repeat my offer to make a contribution to a mutually acceptable charity in the name of the reporter who asks Trump how you get drug prices down 600% bsky.app/profile/atru...

83% of Americans have a favorable view of Medicaid: www.kff.org/medicaid/7-c... Republicans simply can't believe that's true. It's government insurance, surely everyone hates it! But guess what: People don't want to be "health consumers," they just want secure coverage.

This time last year I lost my job due to #LongCovid. Unsurprisingly it was an extremely difficult time. I'd worked for the NHS as a Learning Disability Nurse for 20yrs. Long Covid ended my career. It also drastically altered my life. Some reflections 👇

It’s one banana, Michael. What could it cost—$10.67?
