Trump's statement on Iran caused a crash on American stock exchanges Trump announced plans to launch large-scale attacks against Iran, promising to strike "very hard". After the statement, $1.2 trillion disappeared from the American stock market in just four hours.

I'm fucking crying at work dude this is so beautiful

About four in 10 transgender parents we surveyed worried they might be reported to child welfare agencies because of their gender identity. Nearly one-third feared that family members would report them. Read the full report at tinyurl.com/Trans-Parent-Challenges

Horse Sense — A cartoon by @andertoon.bsky.social

It is a cruel and dark faith

For my newsletter today, I wrote about the decisions made by 3 separate left/center left politicians this week that let down trans people and why they are wrong. www.burnsnotice.com/the-list-of-...

you: this horse is a container for my popcorn me, a scholar: this horse is a container for soldiers

It’s a pretty weird week when a guy who wants to be a trillionaire is simultaneously getting headlines for the economy-shattering IPO expected Friday and the racist pogroms he is accused of stoking — but these stories are viewed as separate and in no way connected or prescient of the future.

America is under the horrendous reign of Trump’s Turd Reich because white Christians are perfectly happy to support a racist rapist pedophile as long as he hurts poor people.

Credit where it is due, we did create the first openly trans character in the batverse and she has meant a lot to a lot of people. I always wanted her to turn into a costumed hero and had plans for her to be Batgirl for a bit when Barbara was injured. It was @planetx.bsky.social who came through!

Chrétien: When you look at the polls, Canadians have never been more united. Thank you to Trump for that. I should propose him for the Order of Canada, but I cannot succeed. Do you know why? Rosie: He's not Canadian? Chrétien: Because we don't give it to a person who has a criminal record. #cdnpoli

A faith that leaves only grief and destruction in its wake

On the first day of Pride Month, James Murray confirmed he would no longer say “trans women are women”, arguing NHS single-sex spaces should be “protected on the basis of sex”. 📩 Understand more in our newsletter: https://tinyurl.com/52js7yzz

Joe Kahn, the nyt editor, shut down all avenues of internal debate about his paper’s coverage of trans ppl. This clampdown was aimed entirely at his queer journalists. Ppl knew their jobs were at risk if they spoke up. He declared in interviews later that the “newsroom is not a safe space.”

Well…

I wonder what Jesus would think about the people who love him the best?

"Twas brillig, and the slithy toves did gyre and gimble in the wabe."

It is if the goal is not to inform, but rather to achieve a political outcome

My maternal grandmother, Lotta Smith, born right around the turn of the 20th century in upper Missouri on the prairie near Iowa She remembered horse drawn covered wagons and the end of WWI

Who is the oldest member of your family that you've met?

The US is clearly not worried about the missiles being used against US troops invading Greenland, and Denmark is clearly not worried about the missiles being deactivated or hijacked. It's so nice to live in a time where allies trust each other completely

BINGO. I’m with you 100% on this, Clementine!

To receive endorsements like this from people who have known me for so long really means the world to me. Maine deserves a candidate that they can trust--someone who does the right thing when no one is looking and has been consistently showing up for Maine their entire life. I am that candidate.

Jesus does a happy dance every time a Christian inspects a 3rd grader's crotch

THE CHAFF PROJECT Hi! Are you cis in the UK and you'd like to support trans rights? Great! How: buy a trans flag pin and wear it in public. Why: chaff is an overwhelming amount of false positives so that when a missile gets close to the plane, it hits the chaff and not the plane.

You will absolutely not be surprised that this lying bigot is a lying bigot bc Jesus hates trannies Christianity is a faith bereft of any value. It serves only to hurt and exploit others

Happy pride month all, fuck Palantir

It will be interesting to see how much the figures will be revised downward in a month or so

Trump only compliments people who exercise power and control over him. Rather than frame it as an, "If Obama" moment, look at it as confirmation that the Iranians are calling the shots now

What do the Republicans have on Polis?

(in the seventh month of defending a candidate who has slowly revealed himself to be a werewolf) so actually I think most guys get worse under the full moon

Mikie Sherrill better clean house at the NJSP ASAP A police agency that ignores civilian oversight and goes wilding at the first chance to crack skulls must not be allowed to continue in that form

Really, much more impressive is how Lutnick's been able to dodge questions about why he used his children as Epstein bait

A Christian church without a child sex predation culture would be like a McDonald's that didn't sell hamburgers. It is a faith bereft of morality, existing only to satisfy rapists and to fleece the vulnerable www.propublica.org/article/old-...

People tend to vote right wing when they are desperate and afraid Republicans don't have an ideological complaint with spending, they don't like spending for the common good

started / going

I was at a production of WAITING FOR GODOT during a thunderstorm. Loud boom outside, lights go out. Pause. Vladimir, fearfully: "What do we do now?" Estragon, phlegmatically: "We wait."

Christianity is such a bleak and hateful faith

Republicans in disarray

We deserve better. Please help me stay in this race. votewelch.com

Something to suggest at your next corporate retreat

Worth paying attention to @1:25: "May have been some children of guests" - Testimony read by Rep Dean; Trump re his time at The Island Is it just me, or is Howard Lutnick's family excursions to The Island the first thing that pops into your heard when you hear it?

Good Lord, those are funny. But I'd change that one to Earth, Wind, and LIAR.

1. Billionaire and anti-trans activist Elon Musk has confirmed that he bought twitter, in part, because of his trans daughter Vivian. This is the first direct confirmation from Musk. He has since used it to wage war against transgender people. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Questions like, "Why RFK Jr is in charge of destroying vaccine programs is beyond me" assumes that members of Trump's Administration are acting in good faith. A better way to look at it is that he's there to kill as many Americans as possible

well... "If a vulnerable person appears passive or does not actively protest their arrangements, the law may recognise this as "consent" — even if they are subjected to routine physical restraint or chemical sedation or have never known a life without a high level of restriction." :/

My three-year-old was watching CBS when she turned to me gravely and asked ”Daddy, how come everyone sucks up to the orange man?” And when I told her “Because today’s elites are the most wretched, miserable, servile, pathetic trash that was ever shat into civilization,” she started crying

A moment of silence for the white man, who is very much alive, for murdering a Black man, who is very much dead.
