Texas to become the 20th state with a transgender bathroom law The bill, which Texas first attempted to pass in 2015, will require transgender people to use restrooms in public schools and government buildings in accordance with their birth sex.

If you're wondering which states it's not safe to travel to if your gender does match societal expectations, here you go:

More and more I feel like I need to watch it.

An incoherent stream of buzzwords that he knows his base likes to hear. It would be funny if it weren't so tragic.

Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Okay, so what was Charlie Kirk's punishment for actually insulting the Pelosis and laughing about the assault on them, saying a patriot should bail out the attacker and ask him for advice? I don't remember his podcast being canceled or his family being told to make a sizeable donation to the DNC.

Let me make sure I have this correct. Jimmy Kimmel said what happened to Charlie Kirk is horrific, then followed up that the shooter was pretty obviously MAGA and our president blatantly no longer cares, and he's canceled until he apologizes and donates to Kirk's organization?

I enjoyed it so much, I'm very sorry I let the negative reviews convince me to skip DRIVE AWAY DOLLS.

Don't get all the negative reviews for HONEY DON'T. It aims to be a trashy B flick, and it hits all those qualities out of the park.

I'm sure the republicans would let him. I also think he'll be dead or too sick to do it.

"He can't run for a 3rd term..."

Please tell me the alternate reality where he's been held accountable for breaking any law at all.

Anyone who thinks loving and supporting trans people involves clinging to a gender binary because TRVTH has blatantly never stepped foot in a non cis shoe, let alone taken two steps in one.

Having had the state of my genitals publicly and derogatorily speculated about by transphobes, how the fuck are we the perverts?

To my shame, I got into Allen films at 20-21, googled him after watching a few, and the article I read/fell for was "Neurotic Genius Artist is too paranoid to harm anyone and his ex-girlfriend is an evil brainwasher." Am glad I saw through that bs shortly before Dylan speaking out a few years later.

Of all filmmakers, why??? It's like it's not even about the filmmaking technique and quality or something...

Oh, wait. It's not about that.

The fact that Elon is not getting slammed with libel cases for all his "Epstein bombshells" pretty much proves he's telling the truth about something for once in his life.

As a trans person, the number of "allies" who give money to the angry wizard lady still manages to disappoint me.

I'd visit you, but I'll probably be in a different one.

One of the most famous lines from America's founding is that all men are created equal. While we've always struggled to live up to that, I could not have imagined we'd ever fall so far from that ideal in the name of liberty. This July 4th, the most patriotic thing I can say is: God damn America.

While good on its face, be aware that you're being tracked, that this ebb and flow may continue, and they may not let you back ever. Proceed with caution, but keep yourself safe.

Could someone explain to me, real slowly, how jihadists and wannabe hookers would be able to work together?

I haven't commented on the big ugly bill, because I'm still too angry about the entire shitshow.

Getting out of that culture can take so much work. Glad he's started on that journey.

I laughed way harder than I should have at that.

Who knew that one cannot end a war by declaring it over on their own social media platform? The world is full of such strange mysteries as this.

Clicked on a article ranking all Wes Anderson films:

Lady Bird - Arts & Faith The last time the Arts & Faith community released a Top 100 Spiritually Significant films list, I campaigned hard for Lady Bird’s inclusion. It finished in the bottom ten. This time I shared an essay ...

Am glad I got to review a film I campaigned long and hard for being included on an Arts & Faith list:
