The entire anti-trans care grift is built in treating the usual way medicine works as if it's a scandal. Therapists figure out if a kid is trans the same way they figure out if they're depressed. They ask questions, maybe using a formal scale to quantify how kids compare to similar kids.

why would any Kurds trust Trump after what he did to them in his first term

this skeet is dedicated to the Brave Mujahideen Fighters of Afghanistan

This moron has no idea how much of a third rail this is. If he goes through with a public fight with Dunkin he will never live this down. In the words of my people "fuck ya motha."

It’s amazing how thoroughly alien the idea people could care about these deaths as a genuine concern outside of how they’re perceived. The narcissistic assumptions are off the charts.

There's been a lot of debate within the Democratic establishment about what rhetoric to use via ICE. Well, an incumbent doesn't lose by 48 percentage points very often—and her vote on collaborating with ICE was the defining issue here.

you are not prepared for the soundtrack

this was one day in, good lord

84% of the time, “ChatGPT Health” killed a customer using their paid service as advertised

shockingly people are capable of simultaneously, 1. Hating their government 2. Hating the people who bomb and sanction their country, making regular life impossible and murdering members of their family, even more

Thing is, we don't actually know that it's good for anybody, and conceding this in Trump's favor isn't helpful. Yes, everyone at the top of the Iranian government was bad. But this does not necessarily mean unilaterally killing them improves the situation! It could make it much worse!

Hypothesis: What might not make girls feel safe or comfortable is having to have a pelvic exam in order to play rec league soccer because a small group of folks find the existence of transgender kids to be terrifying. #waleg

There's no semblance of any plan here, just bombing and killing because we can. The Guard absolutely has the capability to cause damage to us in a way that Venezuela and Cuba do not

Gen Z complaining to Millennials about America starting an immoral, manufactured war in the Middle East while the country teeters on the edge of an economic meltdown because of overheated financial engineering

Home of reformist opposition leaders from 2009 Green Movement, Mir-Hossein Mousavi and Zahra Rahnavard was also hit by Israeli/US strikes. They have been under house arrest by the regime for over a decade.

On top of all the reporting that this war of aggression was planned well in advance, it seems that the reporting also indicates that the US political leadership are quite literally too stupid to understand basic diplomacy. I mean literally not smart enough.

Congress must return immediately and vote to put an end to this war. Every Senator should be on the record—the American people deserve to know which of their leaders supports another potentially bloody and costly war in the Middle East. No war with Iran.

Wouldn't want a little war to get in the way of a golf weekend.

It would be cool to have a legislature that acted to defend its own constitutional prerogatives and, maybe as a treat, the interests of the people it represents too.

In case you’re just waking up, the U.S. has teamed up with Israel overnight to start an illegal war of regime change, apparently on a presidential whim with no involvement of Congress, and they are already committing horrific atrocities.

Seattle you have literally outdone yourselves 👏 Tonight's final attendance sets a new record for the largest attendance for a women's hockey game in a U.S. arena AND the highest attended home venue game in PWHL history (a record previously set at our home opener!)

MODS

Great job by everybody who let their state reps know a $550M tax break for the biggest corporations in the world shouldn’t have been part of an historic income tax bill. This was a fight, and working Washingtonians won.

Dudes rock

thats no moon its an exomoon

notable considering how many democrats are advocating for Starmerism as the path to winning in 2028

I do think there's an angle to try to convince Trump to support building lots of housing Lie and tell him he'll be remembered as a great builder or something

You know about Crockett-Talarico. But here are elections happening THIS TUESDAY you may not have on your radar: —a Dem flip opportunity in Arkansas —the 1st supreme court race of 2026 —a mayoral race in one of New Mexico's largest cities —Dems who've helped the GOP face primaries explore my guide:

is that a lot

This is such a well done piece that reports out, with hard data and interviews, something profound about what's gone wrong in this country. www.wsj.com/us-news/amer...

To what Iran is a controlled democracy, everyone with any power is "part" of the regime. Are we going to de-baathify Iran? That shit didn't work in Iraq

The ayatollah that came into power in 1979 died nearly 40 years ago.

Also true for me

We just cannot do the easiest things can we

Erin's reporting is, as always, impeccable. What many may not know, however, is that once a license is issued, the holder has a property interest in that license that is protected by the 14th Amendment. This goes back to Bell v Burson (1972). For more, keep reading... 🧵

It seems all Kansas-issued trans drivers' licenses are invalid, effective tomorrow It is now illegal for trans people to drive a car until they surrender their license at a DMV (that most will need to drive to) and have it reissued with the wrong gender marker This was never about woman's sports

Important to note that last month the Trump admin tried a similar thing for childcare funding and got smacked down almost immediately once sued.

she's right, and even more reason why any of those giggly ass male hockey players should've addressed it directly instead of having one of their moms go on a morning show to tell everyone that they're good boys

Casus belli for the next war is the CIA recruited some Florida guys to try a drive-by on the Cuban coast guard

It seems like a lot of people still don't know that he admitted to his lawyer that he committed sexual assault. We know this because his lawyer was hacked, so it wouldn't be admissible as evidence in court, but we still do know that he told his lawyer he did it.

ilhan omar might be the bravest american in congress right now. solidarity to her forever, i wish she could be president

In competitive authoritarianism (US right now) there's often a "loyal opposition" that's essential to the regime. They are so wedded to "decorum," they go along with rites & rituals that help regime prop up veneer of normalcy, undermining clear view of regimes actions & aims.

The fuck does this mean Nothing is going well, they're being blocked from responding to calls by SPD

Trump is holding onto that podium for dear life

Breaking MS NOW: Agents with the FBI's elite evidence response team were delayed in reaching the scene of a mass shooting at Brown U. in December because there was no FBI plane available. Kash Patel was in south Florida at the time with one of the FBI's two available jets.

Aliya Rahman, woman who was dragged out of car by ICE in Minneapolis: "I've spent the last month learning the names of the tendons in my shoulder, because both of my shoulders are torn -- cartilage and tendons. But what I haven't learned is the names of the people who did this to me."
