“We are going to defeat the left and we are going to win” is no longer about politics. They control every branch of government. They have won. So “defeat the left” is now about eliminating us from the earth - and everything this regime does is toward that end.

The anti-trans right heavily praised Gordon Guyatt as the “godfather” of evidence based medicine. He worked for SEGM and was responsible for their GRADE reviews. Now he disavows them, says evidence supports transgender youth care. Great coverage from Henry carnell.

The same bs they're spewing about autism and tylenol is the same bs they're spewing about trans people's healthcare. It's the exact same playbook and the fact that the media can see through one and not the other is a damning indictment of how complicit they are in the attack on trans lives.

The U.S. government has labelled Antifa as a “domestic terrorist organization.” There’s just one problem: it’s not an organization. It’s more like an ideology, or a philosophy. I spoke with extremism and national security experts — and one said this is “plainly out of the authoritarian playbook.”

I’m autistic. Not because of Tylenol. Not because of vaccines. Not because of some headline. I’m autistic because that’s how my brain works. Stop treating us like a problem. Start listening to us.

A pop up box on Tylenol dot com

The @washingtonpost.com story on Tylenol & autism leaves out a MAJOR 2.5M sibling-controlled study of children in Denmark, which "found no evidence that acetaminophen use during pregnancy was associated with children’s risk of autism, ADHD or intellectual disability." jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Neurodivergent people have existed far longer than Tylenol, but yes please find new ways to blame women for something with zero actual scientific evidence.

We should not care or reward Disney for this. We must make their bottom line hurt for even considering doing something like this. Don't let up. Other companies need to see that bowing to fascism is not something you can do without consequence.

I went from getting nonstop transphobic comments in my replies and multiple death threats a week to none after moving from Twitter to bluesky.

This is pure fascism.

Dear American citizens, whatever you wish more German citizens would have done in 1933, do that now.

Cardinal Timothy Dolan failed to report direct admissions of rape by multiple priests, lobbied against extending the statute of limitations for sex abuse, and moved money off the church books to hide it from victims of sex abuse. In case you were wondering.

As a Canadian, I find the rapid descent of the United States into fascism not just alarming, but extremely frightening.

Every time I feel like I know a lot about the rise of fascism in Germany, I learn something new.

HARDEST PHOTO OF 2025 JUST DROPPED

Republicans: "transgenderism must be eradicated." Trans people: "they're trying to eradicate us." Republicans: "Saying we want to eradicate you is violent extremism."

cancelling Disney+ and Hulu is well and good but it’s not a huge hit on an individual level but Disney adults? people who spend real money at the parks? you guys can make a dent, call ‘em up and tell them your vacation is postponed until they pull their heads out of their asses

Folks, you can't report the United States to its manager. There's no superhero coming to save us. We don't need one giant act of heroism. We need millions of small acts of solidarity. Help one person in your community for nothing in return. Then, do it again. And again. That's the revolution.

Luckily, Sinclair has a helpful database of all their stations, so you can see if they're operating in your area and respond accordingly. sbgi.net/tv-stations/

TLDR: Ben Mulroney DONATED nearly the maximum allowable amount to the Conservative Party of Canada — and is now the interim host of one of Canada’s top political shows. I’ve got the receipts:

CBS parent company Paramount canceled Colbert to win approval from Trump's FCC to merge with Skydance. Now ABC parent company Disney suspends Kimmel as it seeks DOJ approval to buy Fubo — and its affiliate Nexstar seeks FCC approval to buy Tegna. See how this works?

This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.

I stand with PBS. I stand with NPR. I stand with Stephen Colbert. I stand with Jimmy Kimmel. I stand with the First Amendment. PERIOD.* *Also #ReleaseTheEPSTEIN_Files

All of the unions in Hollywood should immediately boycott Disney/ABC. They only care about money, so go after that.

From Milton Mayer's "They Thought They Were Free" I first read it in November and I'm rereading it now. It crushing feeling the exact same things as this academic did. It's the same process.

This is all he said.

If any political group is willing to sacrifice LGBTQIA folks to get ahead they will sacrifice anyone, and I will not support them.

The left was derided for promoting a cancel culture because they went after predators and those who abused their wealth and power. The right is canceling anyone who dares speak truth to power. Both sides are not remotely the same.

We're 7 months in and Trump and the oligarchs have completely seized control of the media. If you criticize them, your show will be pulled from the air. This is what dictators do. Fascism isn't coming, it's here.

so many dead canaries and we just keep on mining

The Jimmy Kimmel firing, Colbert's show, what's happening at WaPo, CBS... legacy journalism is slowly but surely coming under state control. It is more important now than ever before that we support the independent journalists out there doing the work not beholden to a fascist's bidding.

It’s not just the United States. If you’ve followed my reporting, you already know: Canada also has a far-right extremist problem. Now, they’re using Charlie Kirk’s assassination as a moment to mobilize, recruit and further radicalize their followers:

NEW: Ted Cruz just asked Kash Patel about the "Antifa and LGBTQ engravings on the bullets." There were no antifa or LGBTQ engravings on the bullets.

Global News is making Ben Mulroney the interim host of The West Block, its flagship political show. Yes, the nepo baby who compared the idea of a genocide in Gaza to that of a “flat earth” and who told Mark Carney he should “be afraid of Pierre Poilievre.” I can’t imagine how this could go wrong!

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide. As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire. End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

Illinois State Senator Karina Villa sprang into action to protect her community from ICE raids, alerting neighbors to their rights and chasing off masked agents. This is how you stand up to authoritarianism. We should all be inspired by Sen. Villa's courage.

oh I don’t think he did that to himself Bluesky

Jesus Christ. A standing ovation — from Liberals too — for Charlie Kirk in the Canadian House of Commons. You can (and should) oppose political violence without doing all this, you know.

Canada’s Parliament just gave Charlie Kirk a standing ovation. You can oppose political violence without rewriting the legacy of a man who did a lot of harm to vulnerable and marginalized communities. But Canada’s politicians, some media and many employers don’t seem to entirely understand that:

Just in case any of y'all thought they'd actually filibuster the appropriations bills coming with all the anti-trans provisions and shut the government down. Call your senators, demand no anti-trans and anti-LGBTQ+ provisions in appropriations bills.

My three states of being, as shown by my cats: blabbing, (existential) dreading, and napping.
