"maybe it's the autism" - trans proverb

CBS’ evening news program failed to cover Trump's pardon of Binance founder last night — while its counterparts all did. www.mediamatters.org/cbs-evening-...

Me and @janus.bsky.social in @teenvogue.com: "If lawmakers really cared about kids, they’d stop trying to take away their health care ... Instead, many top Democrats in Congress are trying to help Trump censor the internet. And by speaking out, it’s the kids who are protecting us from them."

The Chonk Ness Monster

it blows my mind that anyone is still pretending like trump is anything but a dictator, here is steve bannon talking about how they, in clear and certain terms, intends to install trump as president in 2028

"Well, I don't think we're gonna necessarily ask for a declaration of war. I think we're just gonna kill people that are bringing drugs into our country. Okay? We're gonna kill them. You know, they're gonna be, like, dead. Okay? Yeah." Trump has abandoned even the pretext of following the law.

Old Soviet joke: Why do ICE agents travel in groups of three? One can read, one can write, and the third keeps an eye on the two intellectuals

Breaking: The Supreme Court is now officially considering taking up a case overturning same-sex marriage. This is the first time in history the court has considered rolling back this right.

he's knocking down the literal white house and illegally murdering people by dropping bombs on international boats and the government has been shut down for weeks and it's just like....yep

“Apple, Google, and Meta were under no obligation to remove these apps,” says @alexabdo.bsky.social. “If they did it because the DOJ threatened them, even implicitly, that’s a First Amendment violation. The government shouldn’t be able to behave like a mob boss in going after protected speech.”

Local legislator displays the importance of kerning

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase. The President is building an army to attack his own country.

Why the fuck are Democrats confirming this despot's judges. Why are Democrats giving a single fucking inch on anything, while he is waging war on our country? Be. A. Fucking. Opposition. Party.

I’m less concerned about part of the White House being torn down, and more concerned about the fact that it’s being replaced with a $250m privately funded ballroom. I don’t think people who intend to leave office in 3 years typically spend a quarter of a billon on a 4 year construction project.

I can't really explain fully why this is the thing of all things that got my jaw on the floor but I guess it's such a literal symbol and also such a jaw dropping amount of money while small businesses are struggling to survive the tariffs Such a visible "go fuck yourself"

the truth is that this isn't a theocracy and jesus isn't my fucking king

Democratic strategist in Weimar Germany: "Listen I understand you are scared, but our party is a big tent and Jewish rights aren't polling very well. Also we're trying to appeal to the moderate members of the Nazi party. We need their votes. But it's still a big tent!"

if i posted a video of me in a fighter jet dropping poop on joe biden signing the TRICARE trans ban into law, within 5 minutes sarah mcbride and two national lgbtq nonprofit executive directors would be on the ezra kleincast explaining that my rude behavior is why we don't deserve healthcare

But I was told that rule of law was going to save us ? The social construction of democratic law and order is unable to fully withstand fascism and its wanton lying. The agreements that make up law only work if both sides agree to be honest. The fascists are liars and know they can lie openly.

A hornet just stung my ass and now I can't sit down.

It’s almost like when you don’t have a rabidly trans-hostile media ecosystem, people generally support human rights. lens.monash.edu/@politics-so...

Hey @nytimes.com, did you change your headline, and change "Islamophobic attacks" on Mamdani to just "attacks," because Elise Stefanik and the GOP bullied you into it? Really? Why are they no longer Islamophobic attacks, as your headline originally and correctly stated?

Zohran Mamdani Refuses To Share Plan For Making Rich Richer

Silicon Valley is effectively doing digital state capture of the most wealthy and largest states in the union and by proxy their political apparatus. This is a deeply authoritarian move from Newsom and should be disqualifying for his future political ambitions

a step in the right direction, but what’s most interesting is it seems FINALLY dem politicians are understanding how toxic AIPAC and israel are for the party. hoping more do this and actively denounce israel

1. Many of you have seen a graph purporting to show trans identification has decreased in recent years. Matt Walsh and Elon Musk celebrated it as a victory over "transgenderism." Turns out, the entire graph is based on an egregious math and statistics error. Subscribe to support our journalism.

we love edgy jokes about gas chambers and rape unless it’s jokes about charlie kirk dying, which if you do that, you’ll be punished and deported and free speech revoked

To be clear: LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government. The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency. This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

this is, without hyperbole or satire, exactly where we are at now

"All it took was an international terror campaign run by the government to prove it's natural to be cis"

every young Republican staffer is a Nazi, it's that simple www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

The entire incident is infuriating and terrifying. She’s a Latina woman who was working a service job. On her way home late at night, with her headphones in, she was detained for an hour by masked federal agents who wouldn’t give her their names.

if you already didn’t have enough reasons to cancel spotify:

Fenway health in Boston has stopped providing gender affirming care to trans youth. I was previously on the board of this organization and I've never been so disgusted with their leadership cowardly capitulating like this.

Oh wait that wasn’t even an embellishment huh they’re really wylin out

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

apparently “bari weiss doesn’t actually know what journalism is” extends to getting basic facts like the name of a subject right

Pretty much

This is the same Netflix that Musk wants to cancel over it being too woke, with too many trans positive depictions.

The counteroffensive to reclaim the frog from the very online incel Nazis is going splendidly.

Full-throated defense of trans people is a good thing.

A classic case of irresponsible both-sidesism from the NYT. The story is that Trump and MAGA propagandists are lying about Portland to incite a conflict, not that there are different views of the matter.

If this was happening in any other country you'd have journalists and analysts discussing risks of state failure

Giving an entirely new meaning to "car chase"
