you look at all of this and it tells a very clear and unmistakable story no matter what the conservative justices say at conferences or in interviews or whatever they tell themselves

I’m autistic and trans. Neither requires a cure.

I want technology to do things and solve problems, not do a worse job at the parts of humanity that are the most human, like writing and art.

A lot of very influential elite liberals and centrists wouldn't have given a single shit about the brutality of the current US government if it was applied to just immigrants, trans people, and Palestinians instead of also being extended to their buddies with fancy sinecures

Inflation is so bad these days that taking a $50,000 cash bribe can't even get you indicted. SAD!! Thank you for your attention to this matter.

MAGA's "Christian values" in action, attacking a priest.

No particular reason

As CNN offers daylong saturation coverage of the podcaster’s funeral, I went back and checked to see how CNN covered Melissa Hortman’s memorial on 6/28, where Walz spoke and Biden/Harris attended. It got about four minutes during the hours it was happening—less than Jeff Bezos’s wedding that day.

geez good thing we’re only using it for health insurance claims, legal arguments, mortgage rates, teaching students, predicting crime, mental health care, automating government services, fact checking, and pointing out other AI

I re-read Letter from a Birmingham Jail the other day and I was struck by just how stunningly brilliant it was not just in writing but strategic thinking. Like, not news, it's a modern classic for a reason. It's just a remarkably clear vision of a strategy to achieve change.

Skeet your pride flags

The debate around what is or isn’t “cancel culture” really just obscures a simple truth that it’s BAD to be massively racist/sexist/homophobic/transphobic and it’s GOOD to speak out against injustice. Some things are good and some things are bad and it’s okay to say which you think are which.

Stigmatization is a powerful force, and disgust and shame are among our greatest tools. Put plainly, you should feel bad for using AI. www.nplusonemag.com/issue-51/the...

I believe in upholding the Constitution; maintaining a strong and prosperous USA; and caring about other people. That’s only “far left” if you’re MAGA.

the sheer fucking gall of Dem politicians who now – in September 2025, as the Trump admin is taking away trans ppl's healthcare & passports & baselessly labeling us as "terrorists" – express their "concerns" about trans ppl & sports. they are trying to eradicate us! maybe be "concerned" about that!

Like many children, I first learned of annexation of Austria by Nazi Germany after watching Captain Von Trapp ripping up the Nazi flag. What a sad irony it is that Disney, who now owns the rights to "The Sound of Music", has capitulated to another megalomaniac fascist.

It's important to remember when GOP Reps and Sens are yelling about the 'violent left' that they routinely tell reporters and colleagues how theyre afraid to do this or that because their own supporters routinely threaten violence agains them.

Did we all take organic chemistry & the MCAT & miss the social part of our early 20’s and work 80 hours a week for 3+ years for the brain worm guy who doesn’t know what a p-value is to destroy our nation’s public health system? No. Time to lean into our expertise and speak up.

I would call this “consciousness of guilt” in an eventual domestic trial or international war crimes tribunal.

Opinion | Firing talkshow hosts is not a free speech issue. Company should be free to hire and fire at will. Universities on the other hand need to hire many more conservative professors.

My first academic article was on the dictatorship of Uzbekistan inventing a group called "Akromiya" that did not really exist but which they used to arrest anyone with whom they disagreed under the pretext of "terrorism". Just bringing this up for no reason whatsoever!

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

Remember those old tanks that squeaked during the parade in June? Those tanks were built to fight fascists. Both my grandfathers helped tanks with Pittsburgh steel. The tanks were squeaking in protest of parading for a dictator.

The time to de-emphasize LGBT issues is when the other side is also de-emphasizing LGBT issues. But de-emphasizing when LGBT people face widespread, credible threats of persecution? Do you want my vote or not?

The first people the police and the regime target at a protest will ALWAYS be the marginalized people around you: the Black people, the people they baselessly racially profile as likely to be undocumented, the queer and gender non-conforming, and other enemies of the regime.

If a Democratic governor talks about punching people in the mouth, he is obviously filled with insatiable bloodlust. If a Republican president talks about punching people in the mouth, you’re the violent one for thinking he was being serious.

1. At Charlie Kirk's vigil just now, DNI Tulsi Gabbard just invoked MLK Jr.'s line, "Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that." She insisted Kirk "lived" by that line. Unclear how Kirk would've felt about that comparison, since he decried MLK as “awful” and "not a good person."

Mm, hmm. 🤔

It should be way bigger news that Trump effectively killed any attempt by foreign countries to build new factories in the United States with this idiotic ICE move. Just incalculable long term damage. Trump just killed his "build America" push www.wsj.com/world/asia/c...

I think it's a sign of how cowed the American media is that we're getting pieces like "you have to understand, in Korean culture, it's considered very rude for someone to lock you in a brutal prison camp for a week for no reason." Like yeah, any free people would be offended by that?

In facing down fascism, fortune favours the brave. Not the focus group.

Along the same lines, we need language for verbal political conflict other than just "disagreement." Kirk did not "disagree" with queer people, Black people and Jews, he explicitly argued that they should be suppressed and deprived of their rights through state power.

Live your life in such a way that, when you die, people directly quoting you does’t sound like a personal attack on your character.

Oh shit, I didn't see where this was going at first.

A friend of mine was on Charlie Kirk's "watch list" of Black professors. She received so many death and rape threats that her university offered her a security detail for the walk to class. This is Kirk's legacy. You would never know it from reading all of these legacy newspaper op-eds about him.

This is what we’re dealing with in our town. I know exactly where this stairwell is. This is Charlie Kirk’s legacy.

Yep, 100% agreed. And I don’t need to understand every finer turning of the discourse to support trans people completely. It’s easy! Ask me how I know?

Yes! 💯

Well said!
