*squinting*

I'm very surprised the government's argument in the birthright citizenship case is longer than 14 words.

I'm rewatching 24 and seriously think it's a foundational text of Qanon. Govt traitors at the highest levels and terrorists in secret bunker gunfights. Obviously it's too liberal but it posits a world where you could suddenly be in a gunfight with iranian sleeper cell cartel terrorists at any moment

This is my trans agenda

NYT editors put "Claudine Gay" in "top 5 featured on the New York Times homepage Dec 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 17, 22, 25" While they put Trump calling for Constitution's "termination" on page 15 and his chief of staff's "tyrant" warning on 12 Christopher Rufo openly bragged about the plans:

Ketanji Brown Jackson showing today that she's the only SCOTUS justice who isn't a fucking moron and can see things for what they are

I said this in replies elsewhere, but I want to say it loudly here. Anything other than a fullthroated affirmation of birthright citizenship in this country by SCOTUS is an act of treason. It is grounds for immediate impeachment. It is a violation of every oath they have made.

This is one of the reasons why I’m overall steadfastly pro-internet for teens, it’s one of the only lifelines for queer and trans teens. It’s one of the only ways to access information, support, and see representation of a brighter future. And there’s a massive bipartisan effort to take it away

Between the conversion therapy ruling and the efforts to ban kids from the internet to “protect them” from “transgender influence,” we’re right back in a culture of violently enforced closeting. And the data around self-identifying as trans and queer already reflects this

wow you want to make murder illegal? what if it was a law that made it illegal NOT to commit murder? did you ever think of that??

Democrats are incapable of doing anything about the supreme court being stacked full of cartoonishly corrupt rapists full of boomer brainworm conspiracies, because that would throw the legitimacy of the institution into question. They value that illusion of legitimacy and civility over human life.

Imagine if biden supported supreme court reform *instead* of repeatedly and vigorously rejecting it. Imagine if the dems threatening us with camps and project 2025, had a position on actual events occurring currently and a plan of action regarding those currently happening things happening now.

With today's SCOTUS clusterfuck we must all remember how biden spent 4 years repeatedly and vigorously insisting he would not even think about packing the supreme court. And how dem leadership didn't think it was a fight they could win, so they didn't even try.

age verification is identity verification. this is an identity verification bill. do you want to make everyone verify their identity to the state right now? does that seem prudent? that's going to keep people safe? the only safe data is the kind you don't collect

GUNSMAN: you’re john wick JOHN WICK: I’m john wick GUNSMAN: may I recommend the house shotgun JOHN WICK: [sniffing shell like a cork] excellent. I would also like sixteen kimber warriors [pays with a single pirate coin]

A SKARSGARD: john wick gives my nightmares nightmares. he is the baba yaga. I shit in my pants to even say his name [his desk phone rings] GOON: john wick is here A SKARSGARD: kill him

[every hobo in the place pulls immaculate FN five-sevens on john wick] JOHN WICK: [frowns] LAURENCE FISHBURNE: you don’t think a hobo king protects his hobo crown, john? gaze upon my magnificent pigeon hutch and know what it is to live hoboliciously JOHN WICK: i’m confecticamo

LAURENCE FISHBURNE: im the king of all of the rats. every hobo works for me. i’m hobo god. I run hobo new york. now you come to me for hobo favours JOHN WICK: [nods] LAURENCE FISHBURNE: [laughs uproariously]

every single person actively involved in the college republicans in 2026 is the worst person you’ve ever met basically no exceptions

there has to be something deeply wrong in your soul to be able to say "idk if this is a genocide and an apartheid state actually"

only democrats could look at a policy direction that inorganically sprung up the past couple of years in pretty much all and exclusively red states, observe that everyone in them is hating it so far, and come to the conclusion that adopting the same trajectory is appropriate for the opposition party

The downright corrupt siphoning and waste of resources by Gay Inc gentry doesn't get nearly enough attention for the amount of damage it does. Funds that could build entire networks, keep queers on the front lines from dire poverty going to a handful of spoiled scum and their catastrophic failures.

this. this. this. this. this. the new yorker fact checks goddamn fiction.

This is what I need cis folks to understand. It's been a decade. Imagine living TEN FUCKING YEARS watching as a blatant, artificial campaign to erase your personhood, your identity and your safety chugs along, increasing in power every single day, and most people don't care or dismiss it

This is why I unapologetically tell the economics students to change their major to something respectable.

Every political cartoonist in the world is currently bashing their desks in frustration.

The TERF message is simultaneously that men are naturally predators, AND that women are naturally victims. That's why the TERF message serves the patriarchy. And that's why the silencing of raped men -- which happens BOTH through emasculation and hyper-masculation - serves the patriarchy.

When men try to discuss experiences of sexual abuse we turn it into a joke or we accuse them of being abusers who are appropriating victimhood. The script used on trans women is one that's also turned on male survivors.

They're also misandrist, in a way that I'm very serious about. We make it impossible for men to even discuss their experiences of rape.

Chuck Schumer likes to imagine how his politics play with an imaginary middle-class middle-aged couple on Long Island, but I don't think he realizes that couple is currently constructing a guillotine in their suburban backyard and stockpiling Molotov cocktails.

Baseball is the only argument that nominative determinism is real. These are baseball as fuck names

another banner day for "if you didn't know sports were real, ESPN headlines would be crazy"

strictly speaking this is the gun for when you want to shoot all four members of gorillaz

I dunno I think "were Harry Potter books good" is a completely irrelevant question to the moment. like, you don't need to avoid them because they're artistically bad, you need to avoid them because there are concrete, specific ways that interacting with them funds Nazi stuff

The Jetsons lied to us

Doomerism and the isolationism it leads to. The elves *are* doomed if Frodo succeeds, but some choose to stay as long as they can and help out the humans and hobbits anyway, who don’t have the luxury of movement, and that is why Galadriel is so poignant.

Enough

Yesterday the Indian government removed people's right to self-identify as transgender The fact that this did made no news, even on LGBTQ focused sites like Pink News is just insane.

NY state peeps! You can help trans kids get healthcare again in NYC if you have 5 seconds to spare! 1. Click the link below. 2. Then click “send the AG feedback.” 3. Fill in your details, and below is a script for the comment (you can copy-paste the alt text).

"Reveres the state of israel" imagine saying this about any other country, it would be obviously bizarre. "I revere the Kyrgyz Republic" bro what

"im a law professor and grok said this was real" should be an immediate disbarring. if this guys your lawyer you're getting the death penalty for jaywalking

In my @ms.now column from Sunday I noted how every time there's a vote on trans issues in congress, the NY Times runs an opinion piece calling for Democrats to abandon trans people. For the SAVE America Act, they ran two. www.ms.now/opinion/trum...

there is a lot of talk about how hard it will be to rebuild the DOJ but I bet you could recruit a whole lot of extremely talented lawyers to form a white collar crime task force without much trouble and that would be my first priority after I form a prosecution squad to go after Trump admin crimes

they’ve fucked air traffic control, oil, and TSA. commercial air travel might just die.

I think we should refuse to call them moderates, and instead call them what they actually are: sycophants, extremists, and collaborators. To play along with the fantasy that these positions are moderate is to cede ground to the false notion that they are sensible, rational, and fair.

housing is more expensive now, but also a lot safer. this kind of home was considered cream of the crop in the 1980s

I've been working on this piece for a few months, and I won't lie it's hurt to go from hearing the suffering inflicted by this transphobic theocracy to seeing progressives sing its praises. The bishops' ban is the most extensive trans healthcare ban in the country. It deserves way more attention.

Sure that sounds good
