I'm going to actively say at this point that I don't think people should donate to any Dem-run PACs. What guarantee do we have that they won't give the money to cowards to stave off primary challengers? I mean, it rather feels like the reverse will happen.

Sama'a and her husband often go without so that their girls can eat. I have watched them grow thinner and thinner, and I beg you to join me in giving them a little comfort. gofund.me/db56c7ce3

A reminder that this anti-trans panic is 100% bullshit and exactly none of our country’s problems are related to someone expressing their gender identity and everyone who isn’t a hate-filled weirdo knows it.

Imagine coming off an incredible Election Day mandate from coast to coast and going 'you know what voters want? to be completely sold out by a bunch of craven cowards too pathetic to hold the line against a bunch of fucking weirdos'

Shutting down the government is a big deal. People have been hurt in big ways as a result of the decision. To have that suffering be for nothing—to re-open the government without actually having protected people’s health insurance and economic well-being—is unconscionable.

mamdani is going to impose mississippi masala law. everyone will have to watch his mother's movies and realize how much we've undervalued her at the expense of white female filmmakers who fit more easily into our understanding of "feminist cinema" or whatever.

Well, at least everyone suffered for nothing.

Anyway a great way to radicalize people is for them to realize that you just abandoned their chance at being able to access and afford health care because you didn’t like waiting in line at the airport.

Exactly this — caving for nothing makes all that pain for nothing. Further, them caving lends credence to this being just some political scrum when it’s actually much more fundamental than that! Call those senators, please.

A lot of health care is cheaper than the alternative. We just don’t want to admit that in the US because we want people desperate for health care.

Literally the only good and sensible thing Dems have done is hold the line. The only thing. You spineless, heartless, brain dead cowards

Well that sucks. I really thought they were going to pull it out, at least in penalties. It really was a hell of a season, I hate that it ended like this. #NWSL

I had almost given up. I really want Temwa Chawinga to get that championship this year, so come on KC, you need to win this so she (hopefully) can play next week! #NWSL

Well, at least it was short. #NWSL

Just caught up. I thought it was clear that they were setting up a Paige vs Bones showdown from the beginning but I expected both of them to stay. Unfortunately I think the lipsync just wasn’t good enough for that. I also thought Elle was the funniest but Bonnie was unexpectedly good. #DragRace

It’s only “controversial” because Republicans have dedicated a decade to making it so because they needed a new scapegoat. It is not complicated. Trans women deserve to play sports at every level and the simple fact is that they do not dominate women’s sports and there is no problem. @nwslsoccer.com

Someone please explain to me how that was offside. I’ve been a fan a long time and look up the definition all the time and I still cannot get it. There were so many defenders between her and the goal. #NWSL #woso

Folks, if you are hungry, please contact your local Sikh gurdwara. Or just show up for langar, which most gurdwaras do several times a week, for a free meal. Lots also do weekly or monthly drives giving out groceries. No conversion necessary. Feeding anyone who is hungry is a key part of Sikhism.

What a moment! Love that for Luana. #NWSL

Word. Aldi's has a deal to feed 10 for $40. The Target deal is 4 for $20. Not only is Aldi's better financially, it's not run by simpering ring-kissers. corporate.aldi.us/newsroom/new...

Starting with "You can have your opinions on trans issues & who can/cannot participate in women's sports leagues based on gender standards" is positioning this as a debate. Trans people's ability to fully participate in public life is NOT an "opinion" to "disagree" on! We have lost the plot!

TL;DR: to put it in sports terms that may be more easily understood, anti-trans policies and politicians are fucking losers.

Don't forget that Zohran Mamdani spent his entire campaign standing proudly beside the trans community. He went to trans rights rallies just to show support. He proudly waved trans rights flags without hesitation. He refused to back down in support of trans rights. That makes me happy.

On a planet damaged by rushed terraforming, a bodyguard-turned-reluctant rebel joins the last dregs of her parents’ failed uprising... THE KING MUST DIE is out today! If you love stories about found families, revolutions, and second chances, this book’s for you.

It's also Godzilla day so I will temper the existential dread with this...

Aww, I love this.

Last day to get any or all of my books for half price!

"How would less fortunate corporations like Walmart, McDonald’s, and Amazon get by without SNAP and other programs to subsidize their sub-poverty level wages that leave many of their workers reliant on benefits?"

I have a lot of questions. Mostly if all of these people voted why does it look like that? Did all the votes count? Why is the men’s eligibility period different from the women’s? And where the fuck is Temwa Chawinga? Screenshot from here: fifpro.org/en/supportin...

angel city really mishandled the end of christen press’ career and i might never forgive them for it. in her final season they finished 11th, had an interim coach say he forgot about her on the bench, and a new coach say she can change games then only gave her 1 start and 248 minutes since june.

TWO YEARS IN THE LEAGUE. TWO GOLDEN BOOT HONORS. It's just Temwa Chawinga math 💅

Two boots for Temwa!!! ❤️ #NWSL

The refs just feel bad for Gotham or what? Pfft. #NWSL

Manaka, holy shit! #NWSL

Expected but good result for KC. Now let the chaos begin! 😆 #NWSL

If you want or need SNAP benefits, literally the only barrier should be...signing up. "But what about fraud?" My sibling in red, white, and blue, THE PENTAGON HASN'T PASSED AN AUDIT IN YEARS AND MONEY IS FAKE. I don't care if too many people have food assistance.

Why should you 🫵🏿 care about SNAP? SNAP recipients saw: - Improved life expectancy - Lower chance of incarceration - Lowers chance of poverty - Lived in better neighborhoods - Higher human capital SNAP keeps our neighbors fed, communities safer, and kids educated. Also people are HUNGRY. DUH!

here again to say that today would be a great day for @nwslsoccer.com and Jessica Berman to unequivocally say that gender testing is not on the table for the NWSL nor will it ever be

Interesting, when they hit 48 I thought it must not be true. I read that Fenerbahce can’t keep her from playing there but wonder if it will make them angrier. wbasketballblog.com/2025/10/29/t...

It's not about sports. It was literally never, at any point, about sports. Sports are the wedge they used to stick transphobia into your brain. That's it.

Sorry I refuse to entertain the complete non-existent world where white people don’t know that countless cultures, including some of their own but certainly diasporic racialized ones, call their mom’s cousin’s friend’s sister they grew up with “cousin” and call close women elders “aunt/auntie”
