This is why I get offended seeing any posts criticizing the ACA especially if you weren't old enough to understand the dynamics at play then.

Let me be clear. I don’t support AIPAC. Quite the opposite. But I also have major issues with Track AIPAC. It’s a shady project.   Track AIPAC isn’t a neutral watchdog. It’s a political operation with its own PAC and a very clear agenda. 🧵

Excellent 🧵 THIS is exactly what we’ve been trying to warn about. Y’all run around yelling AIPAC with your hair on fire as soon as you see 1 of these stupid graphics. Congratulations…you’re bashing some of the most progressive voices in the party & a lot just happen to be Black. I wonder why 🤔

No sh*t, huh? 🤔 👇 A reminder that the same Bernie adjacent people that are behind Platner’s recruitment and campaign were behind Fetterman’s, so keep that in mind. Obviously Heinrich is in the clique.

🚨CA Beware🚨 Chad Bianco, a Riverside sheriff, is running for CA Governor. He's a "former😒" Oath Keeper. Do not let him past the primaries www.npr.org/2021/10/06/1...

In its 250th year America is going to implode & die because of its original sin: Racism. A black man being President for eight years drove mediocre white Americans insane. Not one scandal, strong economy & the world’s admiration wasn’t enough for you. Our excellence & decency broke you.

Is it happening again?

A great question!

SO much propaganda can be debunked with basic K-12 education. For example, it’s ok if you don’t get the science/history behind trans folks existing, but we all learn how adjectives work in 3rd grade & when trans describes the noun woman, we’re talking about women, just like tall women are women.

The best thing you can do for yourself is read. Lots of things. A wide variety of things. The best thing you can do for others is encourage them to read. Lots of things. A wide variety of things. Support your local libraries, and your local independent bookstores. Make reading a habit.

He sexually assaulted/raped women & young girls He incited a violent and deadly insurrection against our government and democracy He allowed many ppl to needlessly die of COVID He continues to make Americans hate other Americans If you’re ok with this, there’s something profoundly wrong w/you

Platner discussing defiling a corpse as show of dominance and that it’s not done as much now only because of the state of media (2013)

“Four of [Don Jr]’s portfolio companies have won contracts from the Trump [regime] this year amounting to $735 MILLION… It looks like more Trump enrichment. When the public and the private are as intertwined as they are in this [regime] it’s hard to tell the difference.” @johncassidysays.bsky.social

If you haven’t unfollowed Pink News, now is the time!

I have eaten the beans I’ve not been able to eat and which I was saving for when my gut was healed alas, I am paying for it so bloated and poopy

The woman at the end may be staged, but you are much more likely to be helped by another woman. A post menopausal woman would probably take the man down, scream at him, and then call his mother.

I just saw a woman with glasses telling trans people to just love the body they’re in. Many do, hun, but they’re still trans whether they medically transition or not. Also, why can’t you just love your blurry vision and stop using glasses?

Dan Bishop, a Trump U.S. Attorney pick, is an unqualified MAGA extremist and election denier. He said just THIS MONTH that LGBTQ+ people don’t deserve equal protections under the law. Senate Judiciary Republicans just rubberstamped his nomination.

This is another reason why I never trusted starter packs (or block lists or labels).

4. Even if you accept the premise that Dems HAVE to run a Young White Dude, may I introduce you to Jon Ossoff, who was 10 years YOUNGER than Platner when HE won a U.S. Senate seat in GEORGIA, which is a much redder state than Maine.

A warning to women who reject financial independence:

A great reminder to use when addressing the anti-trans sports propaganda…sports is rarely “fair,” as we all have biological advantages…but simply being trans is not a biological advantage, and a recent BJSM analysis of over 50 studies and 6K athletes confirms it.

Is this the collective name of Platner supporters?

A Dixiecrat was a southern Dem who left the party in 1948 because they did not want the Democratic Party to push for civil rights. You clearly have no idea who Jimmy Carter was, how he was raised and what he did. Wikipedia and Google are as free as idiotic made up facts. That was a choice.

His family is very litigious so there is ALOT of data. But, from the mom’s side and her dozen businesses and properties she was landlord of … she was sued like 30 times by “USA,”“IRS,” “State of Maine,” and various counties for not paying taxes for these properties.

Screaming about some “WE CAN HOME SCHOOL OUR KIDS AND THEY’LL GET A BETTER EDUCATION” but when they had to home school their kids and give them a better education they screamed for the schools to reopen NOW:

“Epstein coerced her into attending 4 parties at Epstein’s home. Trump attended all 4, the woman said. At 2 of them Epstein directed her to have sex with other guests… She feared for her family’s safety after Trump said some of his critics could be executed for sedition.” NYT link: archive.ph/O3YaQ

Brave lady!Upholding the right to read books that help children grow,figure out who they are & how the world works,plus accurate reporting of historical events is vital.It's not just a right,it's a necessity,or everyone would grow up narrow minded & bigoted,like the idiots that want to ban books!!

It’s Republicans. It’s 100% Republicans. Trans people aren’t persecuted when democrats control any lever of power. They invariably are wherever republicans can do so. I’m begging you, begging, ALL of you, to acknowledge that the single most effective way to improve trans lives is to vote blue.

Paternal age 35+ accounts for a drastic increase of miscarriages. By age 40 there are higher DNA fragmentation and 60% higher risk of miscarriages compared to men under 30.

Came out of the post office, saw that a guy had cut my saddle bag off my bike and was about to take off with it. I yelled "Please wait my cat's medicine is in there!" He started to run, and this grandma-age lady goes "SHE SAID HER CAT'S MEDICINE IS IN THERE" and WALLOPED him with her grocery bag.

How can we live in a world where gender affirming care is being called “mutilation” and being banned for trans people, but cis men give it a tactical bro name like “looksmaxxxing” and are literally crushing their bones with hammers and elongating leg bones to be taller…I really hate this timeline…

In case anyone is still unclear, “zio” isn’t short for “Zionist”, it’s a *KKK-originated slur* for Jews. Not Zionists, JEWS. Using it announces you as an ideological white supremacist and white supremacists recognize you as such.

We need more of these stories on #DragRace …we’re losing our Pride events and gathering spaces and thus losing our chances for elders to pass on our history to the young folks (and reiterate how important VOTING FOR HARM REDUCTION IS, which right now, means voting Dem). AND TERRY?!?!?? 😭😭

In 2025 alone—a single calendar year—state legislatures considered 1,059 anti-LGBTQ bills, of which 111 were enacted into law.28 The number of anti-LGBTQ laws enacted in 2025 alone exceeds the total number of anti-miscegenation statutes that were ever on the books across all 41 states combined.

A reminder that LGBTQ folks didn’t get our rights (discrimination protections so we were no longer fired or denied housing/healthcare/education, etc) until 2014…so we BARELY had a moment to breathe before the Trump era started sending us back to the closet & esp targeting our trans family in ‘16:

I analyzed over 10 years of anti-trans legislation. Over 330 bills have passed, with ~300 of them in just the last 5 years. There is no precedent in American history for so many bills to target one particular minority group like this in such a short timeframe. www.thedissident.news/the-ratchet/

Happy Birthday to Sister Rosetta Tharpe, and a massive thank you to her for inventing rock and roll She was born on March 20th, 1915

I think this is ultimately one of the worst permanent effects of Trump: he has proved that voters have no moral sense or bright red lines. Trump was well-established as a crook and a rapist and a racist BEFORE 2016. Guys like Platner look at that and think “why not me?”

It's interesting how The Daily Wire attacks the idea that gender is a performance when their sets are all about gender performance. Look at the aesthetics here — the cigars and crystal decanter with Japanese whiskey, the black dress shirt, the tight suit with two-toned double monks and tie bar ...

The aurora tonight from Fairbanks, Alaska. Stunning colors!

Cannot stress this enough, support QueerAF if you can We need queer journalism more than ever

Career update 🚨 I can confirm I have been made redundant from my role as Senior Reporter at PinkNews. In my redundancy consultation, I was told the brand is "moving away from having a reporter-led newsroom". How can they make journalism without journalists? I have no clue either. 🤷‍♀️ 🧵 1/
