Trans people are not “fighting for unpopular positions that society isn’t ready for.” Trans people are fighting to KEEP the rights we have enjoyed for decades. We have been able to legally change our gender markers since the 70s and before. Same with bathrooms, sports, youth, all for decades.

BREAKING: Sen. Ed Markey calls for Trump's impeachment.

Mamdani: I cannot help but think of the words of our 40th president, Ronald Reagan. He famously said, “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are 'I'm from the govt & I'm here to help'" I think nine more terrifying words are actually, "I worked all day and can't feed my family"

BREAKING: The Colorado Supreme Court, by 5-2, orders Children's Hospital Colorado to resume gender-affirming care to a group of trans plaintiffs. Justices Boatright and Samour dissent. Story coming soon.

Since the announcement of our union, Wizards of the Coast and Hasbro have hired Fisher Phillips (a union avoidance firm), and chosen to engage in a daily union-avoidance campaign by sending emails to the Arena team that is spreading misinformation and sowing fear among our colleagues. #uwotc-cwa

So the latest run of "In Another World Where I'm The Hero And My Literal Slave Girls Love Me Because I'm One Of The Good Ones Despite My Open Misogyny And Creepy Sexual Antics" didn't do well?

Really falling in love with Octopath Traveler 2. Feels like such a clean evolution of everything that was great about the first game.

#Gundam just released a slew of new information for upcoming projects, and the most notable announcement of them all is that the original Mobile Suit Gundam anime is getting a remaster in 2029 for the franchise’s 50th anniversary. 🎉 Read More: bit.ly/4ufkZRu

The entire premise of this guy's piece, like so many "Dems need to stop talking about [issue]" pieces, is built on a version of the Democratic Party that doesn't exist. They're already doing the thing you're telling them they need to do. They're already largely ignoring this issue in campaigns.

"turning surprisingly sound mental health advice from random internet users into embroidery patterns & selling them on etsy" has to be a business model somebody's doing, right

Black people saw the largest decline in financial stability for nearly every category compared to all other racial and ethnic groups, according to a new Federal Reserve survey.

Mesmerizing first trailer for "Wildwood", the new stop motion feature film by LAIKA Studios. Full 4K video >> www.youtube.com/watch?v=POne...

The Slay the Spire 2 controversy is honestly funny. I can’t think of anything that proves how transparently immature the anti SJW grift is than people being forced to act as if a game they’ve been enjoying for months is now suddenly unplayable woke trash solely because Anita’s name is in the credits

It is pretty wild to see Zionists freak out about this article when, in 2024, there was a large "right to rape" protest in Israel. The protest succeeded in making the prosecution drop charges, and one of the perpetrators is now a star on Israeli reality TV.

As a new byline with Rolling Stone—travelled to Japan for the first time to cover the Tekken World Tour to see the best of the best fighters. Piece focuses on more than 30 years of Tekken, and what makes it garner such an incredibly kind/diverse community/audience. Please, be sure to read/repost.

turns out that you can drive up the birthrate with a baby bonus, you just need to crank it up to twice the per capita income www.nytimes.com/2026/05/07/o...

When we took office, NYC had a $12B deficit. Today it’s zero. And we didn’t close that gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets, & public housing. Call it Pothole Politics or Democratic Socialism: We are government that delivers for the people.

When you see an elected official doing what they are supposed to do, it is startling nowadays. And that's because Republicans and corrosive special interests have made it seem as if that's something grotesque or outlandish.

I read Foreclosure Gothic in two hours last night. Terrific writing, so sharp and clear. About a guy who winds up buying and selling houses after a semi-successful short career as an actor. Great characterization, creepy and also moving moments. Excellent detail about houses. Highly recommend. 1/2

Those of us who called this administration racist from day one were called alarmist and worse. Now they are just dumping sewage in Black neighborhoods, as was common during Jim Crow and those same folks are quite. Also, shout out to all the academics with “sincere concerns” about DEI.

Just as a postscript... I think traditional publishing is still pretty healthy, but the collapse of media outlets and constricted space at those that do review books does mean I am seeing many really good novels get zero visibility on release. Reader recs on social media are important in those cases

With 'Israel and Palestine' trending at #1 on Mother's Day, let me say James Baldwin had it exactly right: "The children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality." 🧵

A few days ago I told y’all to check out Operation: Iron Coffin from @idwpublishing.com and now I’m back with a review of this full-throttle comic. @kennyporter.bsky.social and @tcannoncomics.bsky.social are cooking with gas on this one. It hits stores in July!

i don't think vigilante justice is good for society but also i'm very glad the guy who threw the rock at the seal got his ass kicked. symptom of cruelty being consequence-free

"...a comic experience unlike any other this year." - @shaunathan.bsky.social, @screenrant.bsky.social Yet another amazing review of @kennyporter.bsky.social & @tcannoncomics.bsky.social's OPERATION: IRON COFFIN! Plus, the trailer debut: screenrant.com/operation-ir...

Bathroom bans are unworkable in practice. When pushed, supporters admit they expect trans people to break their laws. Creating laws trans people have no choice but to break isn't an accident. The intent is punishment of the ones they hate. The intent is driving trans people out of public life

Happy Mother’s Day

lol the same people telling Black folks to stop making it about race keep making it about race. Funny how that works.

I don't know how it ranks among my favorite anime, but man, I really can't stop thinking about Wolf's Rain. A beautiful exploration of what it means to find paradise in a world that seems like it's collapsing around you.

People are comparing this photo to the 60s when most of you were actually alive in the 2020s when young Black people have essentially had to confront white cops in this same way.

@idwpublishing.com was kind enough to send an advance review copy of OPERATION: IRON COFFIN, by @kennyporter.bsky.social and @tcannoncomics.bsky.social and wow does it pop! Mixes great personal moments with over the top action and brutal kills. I’ll have more about it on SR soon!

I know. There are so many other things wrong with this administration. But it has literally unleashed an ongoing threat to the public health on the entire country by appointing this guy, as an obvious quid pro quo for him dropping out of the race, to his position.

The fertility rate going down is good because it means fewer teens are having kids, people are thinking hard about how many kids they can actually afford, and fewer women who don't want kids aren't being forced to have them.

funniest thing i’ve ever seen

Joe Biden didn’t use Funny Words. Kamala Harris didn’t use Funny Words. Tim Walz didn’t use Funny Words. The Democrats don’t have a Funny Words problem. Trump & Vance & the entire far right authoritarian party call people vermin & use Funny Words every day. Stop spreading this BS. It’s an ugly lie.
