in NYC? when hospitals end trans youth care programs, it’s time to ask mamdani about his platform: “…hold private hospital systems denying GAC accountable—hospitals that continue to deny trans youth access to gender affirming care are in violation of NYS Constitution.” www.nyc.gov/mayors-offic...

I take back anything negative I've said about Fox News' coverage of New York. They were completely right Today, I saw a person walking down the sidewalk with an accordion strapped to their back, and, before you ask, no this wasn’t in Williamsburg It's dangerous out here

Tech site headlines about mass layoffs: Another Blood Bath Tech CEOs after reading those headlines: I should create a blood bath start up

More not less money for public libraries Less not more money for cops

This is the kind of news we need right now Dog running with skiers? Dog licks a man’s face? Dog is cute?! THIS IS THE KIND OF NEWS WE NEED RIGHT NOW

sick of the politics of cowardice presenting as common sense in america. so many scared to bastard death of making anyone angry by saying what's plainly right, and arrogant about it as a way of life. 'ah ahh i can't change anyone's mind.' honest. step the fuck aside and let someone else get it done.

the overseer of project 2025 is telling you out loud that every inch you cede on trans rights is part of the plan to create a white christian fascist state

HUGE no on this. Make your phone calls. They are trying to use the SAVE Act to do an end run around court rulings blocking them from accessing state voter rolls:

For some currently unknown reason, the fundraiser (which had reached its goal) for Young in Iran was suspended by Kickstarter I haven't found out why it was suspended but I will say how disappointed I am that a book highlighting the plight of young Iranians was shut down when the West needs it most

That moment when you look through your shelled pistachios and find more than one you can’t open…that’s real pain

Imagine having the means to dramatically improve the lives of millions upon millions of people while still living like a King and you just… don’t.

[taps 'mass deportation is a bipartisan project' sign] + clock how she knew not to name joe + WHY do ppl keep bookin ha to do this it is so grim

We must speak plainly about the agenda Elon Musk & other MAGA leaders are pushing. It’s white nationalism. There’s no room for Black, Hispanic/Latino, Asian, Native, Jewish or all other Americans in Musk’s monocultural vision. Multiculturalism is superior. We can’t allow Musk & others to end it.

slavery is one of the rare things historically where the more you learn about it the more you realize your initial assessment was correct and it was in fact one of the most evil things ever to occur

The SAVE Act would disenfranchise millions of Americans of all ages and races, but younger voters and voters of color would suffer disproportionately. bit.ly/4rA2p4R

I need folks to understand this. The idea that local police forces will intervene at scale against ICE is a utopian fantasy totally disconnected from how policing has always worked

A reminder that many of Ronald Reagan’s policies were targeted at harming Black people Newsom “proclaimed” Ronald Reagan Day during Black History Month

Dude regularly works for Disney, DreamWorks, Netflix and CN so speculate away. But this sucks no matter which studio is doing it, and gross to think some major movie this year is running with a plagiarized image from ChatGPT.

At the dentist today, the hygienist stared at me in horror when I explained that my grandfather used to drink multiple cups of boiling tea, often with a cube of sugar between his front teeth I didn't have the stones to tell her I also used to do the sugar cube thing �

This looks great. I backed it and even though it's already met its goal, more funding means more distribution to people who might not otherwise be able to access it.

White nationalists never have a solid answer because “white” isn’t a culture, it’s the erasure of culture. It’s not a “heritage,” it’s the arbitrary acceptance and demonization of ethnic groups based on the moving target of hate

This is a surprisingly competent move Crackdowns and executions have continued but at least people have the power to communicate and show the world what is happening I will…give it to the Trump admin this one time

“Except when we do that”

POC’s desperate proximity to Whiteness will forever be dangerous.

It’s so much racism strangling the brain cells they’re now demanding Black people self sacrifice. No.

Let’s look at conditions under Biden and Obama as well, after we focus on NOW

There’s this video that haunts me A father, a little older than me, calls out to his son. The call becomes more panicked. He aims the camera down and we see hundreds of body bags on the sidewalk, exposing dead faces. He starts to sob. He falls to his knees Even typing it out I can’t stop the tears

This week our toddler said “aww nuts” instead of any actual curses and I am genuinely shocked Given my wife’s gift for cursing, we expected much worse
