@chrislhayes.bsky.social: “A 37-year-old American citizen, the mother of a young child is dead tonight. She was shot in the face by an agent of the federal government, and that government has spent the day telling despicable lies about her.”

She was a queer woman peacefully exercising her First Amendment right. Every person with a sound conscience should be furious.

Thomas and William look nothing alike, hence the need for the elaborate disguise

WHOOSH

Been saying it for a year (privately, then publicly after leaving The Washington Post): This is fascism. It's here. It is happening right now.

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

ICE committed cold-blooded murder in broad daylight in Minneapolis. ICE cannot continue brutalizing our communities. I don’t know how anyone can think this is acceptable.

Electeds posting "but what about their supposed focus on affordability, instead they're threatening Denmark" on bluesky dot com in 2026 just reeks of laziness. match the message to the audience. Affordability is a really salient topic to a huge chunk of people but they are not on this site

The United States should not be a “predator force.” We are not brute animals scrabbling in the dirt for sustenance, we are human beings who can stand side by side with friends and allies.

Thomas Riker will return in AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY

look forward to a return to the 1990s-era food pyramid except the already-absurd eight servings of grains are replaced by eight spoonfuls of beef tallow

This is deeply, deeply fucked up. I knew Trump 2.0 would bring us low as a nation but this is beyond the pale. Regime change in Iraq cost thousands of American and tens of thousands of Iraqi lives and left scars on a generation that will never heal - and this makes OIF look well-planned & realistic

I’m sure that destabilizing an already unstable country in Latin America will have no further negative consequences for the people of Venezuela or for the United States.

Whatever you might think of Maduro, the seizure and kidnapping of a head of state takes us to a very dark place. Vast, arbitrary, extra-legal power, which could be exercised almost anywhere, regardless of the character of the target government.

Hot take: back half of TNG season 1 is genuinely great TV. Season 2’s lows are far lower. “We’ll Always Have Paris” is a top-25 TNG episode, maybe top 10, and the series’ first genuinely great one since the pilot. Soundstage away missions were charming.

in the plurb, we all fam is this anything

Taking a break from my holiday relaxation to share a short piece I wrote for Equality Magazine. One of my first jobs on a political staff was to make sure Providence got every point on the MEI - now I help make it happen every year. Now, as then, cities show the way forward for LGBTQ+ equality.

Pluribus rules because it’s forcing people who wanna see a bunch of sci fi lore dumps to instead watch amazing actors have incredibly interesting conversations about what it means to be a person

To Trans Youth: YOU ARE NEVER ALONE. There are MILLIONS of loving, caring people who will continue to fight to protect you and your future. Reply below with love for young trans people. 🩵🩷🤍

🧵 The Trump administration just proposed two rules that would effectively ban best-practice health care for trans youth. Here’s what you need to know:

First priority to begin the year: Kicking trans kids off sports teams. Last priority to end the year: Arresting parents and doctors of trans kids. In the middle: Not a god damn peep on anything else. Absolutely bankrupt. No answers for any issues. Only bullying & pointing fingers & screaming

For those keeping score, 4 Republicans voted against Rep. Greene's bill to arrest doctors and parents of trans youth: Fitzpatrick, Kennedy, Lawler, and Evans. The House has gone absolutely insane in their obsession with blaming society's ills on trans people. You must see through it.

This week has made me deeply appreciative of Rep. Balint. There are few more vocal allies of our community in this entire godforsaken town.

We should all take a lesson from the grace and dignity Sarah conducts herself with, despite being the target of an unimaginable amount of hate. It makes her a better Congresswoman for Delawareans and a better messenger for trans rights for all of us.

Repro advocates know repro rights are entwined with trans rights. That’s why 50+ banded together to tell Congress that just as politicians have no place making decisions about people’s pregnancies, they have no business interfering with gender-affirming care. nwlc.org/wp-content/u...

To note the obvious: Rare exceptions and *extremely* rare misunderstandings notwithstanding, there is perhaps no group of people on the planet more familiar with the concepts of off-the-record, on background and on-the-record than political figures in Washington, D.C.

The anti-equality House majority started the year by passing a bill to kick trans kids off sports teams; they're ending it by attempting to gut health care for those same kids - and criminalize their parents and doctors. Since July 1, they have worked *27 days*. This is how they spend their time.

Are you a fan of trans journalism? Are you an enjoyer of ranked lists? If you are either of those things, or both, we've got the end of year feature for you. Read our list of the best ten and worst five examples of journalism on trans issues of 2025. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

This damning piece shows a woman who is determined to wash her hands of every evil thing that happens in her orbit. "I wouldn't do it that way," she says, while empowering the men who are tearing the country apart. To claim innocence while sitting at the President's right hand... it's insane

Oh cool it looks like AI has ruined something else THIS DISCUSSION THIS DISCUSSION THIS DISCUSSION THIS DISCUSSION

We are heartbroken about the loss of legendary actor, director, and LGBTQ+ activist Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele.

This entire weekend

It do be like that sometimes.

we are so fucking back

BREAKING: On her way out the door of Congress, Rep. Majorie Taylor Greene says the House will vote on her bill to jail doctors and parents of trans youth. Contact your member of Congress to urge them to VOTE NO. hrc.im/contactcongress

Something I have to reiterate is that you are being straight up lied to about trans people and our healthcare on an unfathomable scale, this instance reporting is already being torn to shreds by other people commenting, but the frequency of this kind of reporting is astonishing, it's neverending.

Breaking tonight - MTG traded an unrelated vote for a promise that she'd get a vote on a bill criminalizing health care for trans youth. They are in session for like 5 days out of 30 and instead of addressing the affordability crisis, MAGA are sticking their noses into private health care decisions

Hi! If you took part in or saw some mutual aid projects to help with gender affirming care for trans minors or adults I’d love to hear about it for a story!! Signal: SydneyBauer.30 Email: sydneyerinwrites at gmail dot com DMs: open

oh my god I feel so old. This show is so intimately bound up with my young adulthood, like I remember watching BSG s2 secretly with my then-girlfriend in the lobby of her dorm at Bible college and thinking the scenes with Six were so scandalous

the only person in this clip who isn't painful to watch is Robert Picardo and you can tell he's sledding uphill with this script I want to like Giamatti but I can't take him seriously when he is talking about origami chickens

What did you think defeating fascism would require? Vibes?? Essays?? Losers.

I hate that this timeline has made the daylight between me and Matt Drudge evaporate

god damn bills making me want to watch the NFL again

Other thing that pisses me off: the dismissal of people who are frustrated with new Trek as “boomer dudes”
