congress sounds cool i wish it was real

A 2021 poll found that more Americans (incorrectly) think Iran has nuclear weapons than (correctly) think Israel has them. criticalissues.umd.edu/sites/critic...

I just want a nearby corner store, not to worry about medical bills, decent schools for every kid, and no octogenarians to be profiting off the deaths of strangers on the other side of the world, is that too much to ask?

don't look at the news. look at this

When you are in support of the war but not the way it was declared

Jack Dorsey renamed the company to Block because he thought blockchains would be the future, in case you were wondering what his track record of predicting long-term tech trends is

Radiohead is demanding that the Trump administration take down a pro-ICE promotional video featuring a version of its song “Let Down” without permission. Full statement from the band:

Gamecenter's Pachislot Corner is fully operational! Play a range of machines from yesteryear in a no risk, fun environment! These machines are solely for amusement, so no additional payment is required: we have buckets of tokens next to each machine!

@cantwell.senate.gov, what are we doing here?

We gotta let the Warners out of the water tower, they'll put a stop to this

Someone posted this on discord and I'm howling

I’m transgender, I live in Kansas, if you want to help rn donate to either the ACLU of Kansas or the ACE foundation in Wichita - the ACE foundation especially is the organization that will help people with money for groceries, rent, etc. More orgs also included in attached img acefoundationict.org

I wish the Kansas state government a very merry jump into a woodchipper

Anything that isn’t “give trans people in Kansas money right now” is really not helpful because in order to successfully move to another state, you NEED to have current valid identification! Drivers licenses are critical to daily life functions and invalid ID has huge and immediate consequences!

PSA you can oppose Israel without being a NAZI RAT.

this bill is legitimately a three-alarm fire. if they manage to define trans existence as explicit then there is nothing stopping them from genocide. i need every single cis person talking about this, calling their reps, getting out in the streets.

i think we need to be very clear that forcing trans people to use documents with the wrong marker is a form of sexual humiliation, it’s sexual harassment from the state itself

every day i lament the fact that we are not hitting back at the fascists with all the strength they come after us with. and then more.

With the news yesterday, I’m giving away a play box of Lorwyn. To enter like and repost this, and also reply with a receipt of you donating at least 10 dollars to a trans charity of your choice. I recommend trans continental pipeline since they can help people get out of Kansas tcpipeline.org

This is from HR 7661, calling itself the Stop the Sexualization of Children Act. This must not pass.

I've reported 2-3 stories in my career that have sucked the spirit out of my body and this was one of them. But! Seeing the response of the fgc to help their brother genuinely put it right back. Im humbled to have been trusted with this. Help your neighbors friends those in need are all around you.

This man was murdered by the federal immigration authorities as surely as Renee Good and Alex Pretti were

#blacksky #blackskygamers can we get visibility on this? Also:

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

if I catch A SINGLE ONE OF YOU doing this to our trans friends in Kansas, I will fucking wreck you. the politicians doing this to Kansas are evil. the people it is being done to deserve support and help and to not have to deal with your sadistic little jokes. grow a fucking soul.

it took an expensive, coordinated effort & a lot of people saying “this doesn’t matter” to get from a bathroom ban costing one state $400 million & a gubernatorial race to “trans people must turn in their documents which become invalid in a few hours or face fines & potential jail time” in 10 years.

it's 2016: north carolina introduces a bill to ban trans people from using bathrooms safely. there's a national outcry; companies withdraw business up to and including the NCAA cancelling a publicized game. the bill fails. it's 2026: kansas passes a law nullifying trans people's licenses. crickets.

MAKE AN EMERGENCY DONATION to Trans Continental Pipeline right now. They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate there and they are overwhelmed with requests. CO borders KS, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out. GO DONATE. tcpipeline.org

Seeing some "fuck Kansas" replies/QTs and while I wholeheartedly agree with the sentiment behind the statement, I think a better response would be "fuck, we need to help the people of Kansas" If anyone knows a good way to do that, please put it in the comments and I will amplify

To any Democrat who ever said about any issue, "Maybe if we agree with Republicans just this far, they'll stop there," remember that you were wrong, it was obvious at the time, and you really should never believe that again about any issue, ever.

it’s legitimately a huge fucking scandal that the FBI director has fucked up at least two major investigations because he uses the FBI’s planes as private planes and has actively failed to even bother with one of the highest profile abductions since the lindburgh baby

I added 15 minutes to my commute today in order to pull over and take a picture of this Cybertruck parked in front of Hooters at 3:30pm.

To do this, anti-trans lawmakers in Kansas moved fast to change the law, overrode the governor’s veto, and pushed for the legal changes to go into effect nearly immediately. That kind of power—to void gender on official documents, to compel gender conformity—is terrifying and it will not stop here.

As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.

cops are the softest fuckers on earth

No matter where you live, if you have any capacity to volunteer, we have a lot of unpaid folks helping administer rent and skymiles donations, and we need more support.

it's all just art. "porn" is just art that makes you horny, in precisely the way that "horror" is art that makes you scared and "metroidvania" is art that makes you write video essays

Child, BAFTAs edited everything BUT the racial slur.

where is justice for Nurul Amin Shah Alam? when will those charged with holding the guilty accountable demand that justice?

Dispatches from MN: it's getting really hard, guys. The media has left, the donations are drying up, and ICE is still here kidnapping people. It's hard not to be resentful that other people have the option of setting this aside for.other things.

went to the store __________ AI Summary ✨ Grammy-nominated R&B singer Jon B. posted that he is going to the stove – perhaps to "cook up" another hot, hot radio single. Frogs and toads, which are the same, can live on the Sun and often choose to.

Important insight. ALSO, I have no patience (and I mean ZERO) with people who say "they won't ban birth control." They will eventually try BECAUSE WHAT THEY WANT IS TO CONTROL YOUR BODILY AUTONOMY. We need to be proactive about BODILY AUTONOMY IN GENERAL.

btw for trans women to offer this kind of practical warning and sympathy is a serious mitzvah and we cis women really owe it to them (and to ourselves!) to step up our solidarity in kind
