For real; if you're at all in charge of or involved in hiring anywhere: please consider trans women for the position, we are experiencing greater than great depression levels of unemployment; many multiple times the rate for everyone else. We also tend to be underemployed if we are at all.

Google's Doodle today is a purplish-pink mirrored ball with some wispy colors in the background. But the tooltip says, "Pride 2026" when you hover over it. So I clicked on it and...all the results are about Disco. In retrospect, it's perfect for Google in 2026.

MAY 31, 2026: Joining the Scissor Sisters on stage closing night at #MightyHoopla 2026. #scissorsisters #80s #music

Reminds me of the failed and equally weird promo from Burger King. They intended it to celebrate same-with-same in terms of bun halves as a sort of homo vs hetero parallel. But instead proclaimed tops + tops and bottoms + bottoms because Corporate Pride has no one queer actually on the project.

This is not unusual in 2026 USA. Cis people, the way to stop the regime from doing the same to you is to stop them before they get to you.

There's one more possibility: Gov't contracts via DHS, Palantir, etc. for those back-end resources are now more lucrative than the consumer-facing product that was the public face for the build out.

Its not discrimination to ban labour members from pride as long as you provide separate accommodation for them so like a pen in a muddy field somewhere far away just make sure you point em to their shame box “politely“

I don't understand why the powers that be measure the economy by the stock market, which is too easily manipulated I would love to see the economy measured by the average persons' disposable income Leave those thieves in suits out of the equation

Note to media: police arresting peaceful protesters singing “give peace a chance” is not protesters “clashing” with police. It’s the state violating the First Amendment rights of people upset that human beings who did nothing illegal are being held without due process and being fed maggots.

A thread, in case you were wondering how Democratic governors are reacting to ICE vs protestors and the kidnapped people on hunger strikes. (She made one attempt to enter, gave up & sent police after the protesters instead)

President Donald Trump has announced that he, “the Number One Attraction anywhere in the World,” will replace multiple performers who have exited the Freedom 250 concerts.

Republicans are poised to finish this year’s redistricting war 10 seats ahead of Democrats But don't worry, Hakeem Jeffries' spokesperson is confident Democrats will still flip the house. www.cnn.com/2026/05/28/p...

"[USPS plans to] crack down on mail voting by sending ballots only to voters who are registered with the federal government" The GOP federal government is going to selectively deliver mail. This is one of those blaring sirens for "signs of fascism". www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

"The mad rush to invest in AI has turbocharged economic growth & record stock gains. And a few top-income Americans buoyed by big increases in their stock investments are driving consumer spending/U.S. economic growth." Does this feel a bit...off to anyone else? www.marketwatch.com/story/the-th...

Between this and The White House taking over so many previously independent dot gov sites, including vote dot gov, I fear for ours and our loved ones' futures.

"US Postal Service seeks to require states to submit lists of voters" Can you feel the net closing in around you yet? www.reuters.com/world/us-pos...

The Trump administration announced a new rule to pull all federal funds from anyone or anything that in any way supports trans people. This includes private companies & schools that receive any federal funding. www.transiticsnews.com/p/new-trump-...

When I say I will never vote for Gavin Newsom. When I say I’d take another Republican congress over Democrats that abandon trans people. This is why. When your largest left of center party goes the way of Labour in the UK, you’ve lost all hope. I will never do it.

Police are never deployed to protect protesters. That's just a fact.

Wisconsin GOP Doubles Down On Anti-Trans Messaging For 2026 Races This is a great opportunity for Dems to use Wisconsin as a testing ground the way the GOP does. All they'd need to do is run trans-empathetic ads devoid of politics to reap political benefits. urbanmilwaukee.com/2026/05/29/w...

Just as how all of his small actions add up, so too when they're reversed.

Ohio Man arrested for pulling down trans woman’s skirt at park | He was charged with: "public indecency, persistent disorderly conduct, obstructing official business, and resisting arrest" Why nothing for attacking her? Advocate.com www.advocate.com/news/crime/o...

It's a whole deep thread. Trump is rebuilding the federal government's web sites that collect people's data including biometrics. He's moving them under the Office of the President instead of the usual respective agencies to skirt all data safety and protection laws. Voter reg/info, passports, etc.

Women know a confidently wrong blowhard when they see one and are much less likely to fall for smarmy, insincere flattery

This would be the code of practice that strives to erase people from public life in the UK

Mortgages in Canada are *wild*. There's no 30 yr fixed. Every 1-5 years you have to renegotiate or get a new mortgage so if the economy tanks, your mortgage becomes a multiplier of the financial pressure on you.

I also think the “anti trans girls in sport” and “trans girl suck at sport so include them” also comes from the expansion of sport as a venue for wealth at young ages And WHICH girls are allowed to be wealthy or even enjoy social joy and safety And I don’t like it

these are presented in parallel as if they're somehow equivalent or similarly targeted - this is "a back-and-forth over who was more unacceptable" talarico: you're corrupt and do crimes and had to seriously put the screws on the #txlege to avoid impeachment paxton: you don't hate trans ppl enough

Not sharing the bubble pop art thread because there are 17 emojis in every single post. I just want y'all say the full names of 17 emojis out loud and remember that's what you're doing to visually impaired people* when you post like that. *Depending on what screen reader they use.

Found this article via a religious conservative site bragging about denial of adult access being an "anciliary benefit" of the bans "That emotional toll isn’t just about healthcare access — it’s about having your stability and your livelihood constantly undermined…" www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

"Sex" is exactly the same. If that weren't true, the Prader and Quigley scales wouldn't exist. ALL bodies have a mix of biological sexed attributes, both phenotypic and genotypic. Hell, most women have bodies that have XY chromosomes. journals.plos.org/plosone/arti...

Am I disappointed in Talarico? Of course. Am I surprised? Not even a little. The consultant class has doubled down on trying to get every last candidate to fit us for bus treads and courage is hard. But wow did he ever just spit in the faces of people who could have been his biggest supporters.

Oh, wow. The super christian dude turned out to be a liar and a bigot with no actual moral compass. What an unexpected plot twist that no one could have possibly forseen.

White people that don't talk to or listen to enough Black people still believe that Buttigieg can be president in 2028.🤷🏿‍♂️ But that will never happen. I said what I said. In 2020 Black men like me called the exact point his campaign would go from "surging🤡" to collapse. We were right then and now.

500% chance that's an arranged marriage “She marries into this goldmine or l start talking! " - her dad

I'm astounded that any journalist still takes seriously anything this regime says. It's as though journalists think their job depends on shaping everything into a semblance of normalcy so they can report on it as such. Because they don't want to lose access or be branded as "radical".

“On Wednesday morning, the Justice Department went to court to advance an argument that, if accepted, would all but erase the existence of transgender people in the law.” Read my report at Law Dork:

Because of course it did.

So now corporations are allowed to vote in Delaware. This is the end game for Citizens United

Delaware court upholds voting by companies in town's election "a property owner who pays taxes" is a scary argument. "Fascism should more properly be called corporatism since it is the merger of state and corporate power" - attributed to Benito Mussolini www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

I miss the days when news corporations (incl the NYT) had reporters on staff that had a massive store of familiarity with the topics they covered. Maybe not experts, but enough to know what questions to ask to clarify information. The goal was to present the story as accurately as possible.

So much garbage "A.i." news all at once today. These corporations are desperate to co-opt, corrupt, and defang every bit of independent creative and political thought in this country. Do not let them. Keep saying no. Nothing is inevitable.

Not to go all Cassandra again, but that ain't gonna happen.

Does anyone have real solutions for burnout? My emotional baseline is a constant low-grade panic & I've had endless injuries that I mostly ignore b/c I'm spread too thin. Trump/GOP. MAGA work boss. Caring for our parents as they go. ND family w/ disabilities. Protecting the kids. I'm so very tired.
