“In fact, President Trump is so pro-family, he’s calling himself the ‘fertilization president.’ And if reading the phrase ‘fertilization president’ just made you throw up in your mouth a little bit, that’s called morning sickness. Congratulations, you’re pregnant.”

Once again we have created the torment nexus

I don't think we're talking enough about the fact that the pressure to remove DEI from science means women die.

And there's going to be a lot of sketchy-to-blatantly unconstitutional orders coming in the next year.

We can learn so much from disability history and the disability justice movement.

“Maine may be one of the first states to undergo an investigation by his Administration, but we won’t be the last. Today, the President of the United States has targeted one particular group on one particular issue which Maine law has addressed. But you must ask yourself: who and what will he target next, and what will he do? Will it be you? Will it be because of your race or your religion? Will it be because you look different or think differently? Where does it end? In America, the President is neither a King nor a dictator, as much as this one tries to act like it – and it is the rule of law that prevents him from being so."

Gov. Mills showed precisely the sort of integrity in the face of political pressure that the majority of the party currently lacks. More importantly, she did so extemporaneously and without hesitation from a purple state where this isn't a universally popular position.

In every single interview I’ve done with international media since Trump took power I’ve been asked: Why are there no mass protests?

There are many reasons, of course, but the utter refusal of the self-proclaimed “fourth estate” to communicate clearly what is happening has to be high on the list.

in the trump administration, “merit” is pronounced “white” like how strom thrumond said it.

It’s my 12 tranniversary today. That means I’ve spent more of my adult life on estrogen than without it.

It’s weird to feel more scared about my future now than I did back then.

But, I’m not going anywhere. I worked too damn hard to become the person I am.

This is literally all of Medicaid btw

This is absolutely insane. Musk’s DOGE crew just straight up *took* $80 million from an NYC bank account!

SELECT pizza

FROM menu

WHERE topping = pepperoni

ORDER BY MIN(price)

I think it's worth repeating plainly that a federal judge halted Musk's federal funding freeze nearly two weeks ago but funds are still very much being frozen in violation of the court order.

A military ad from Starship Troopers, where the soldiers break formation to turn to the camera and say, "I'm doing my part!"

"I'm complying in advance!"

not really. most of what T***p has done through his career has been illegal but not punished; T***p is above the law, as we have seen. anyone else would have been prosecuted, convicted, incarcerated long ago.

It’s me, I was the first year bioinformatics PhD student teaching herself Bash, R, and Python.

Musk knows less about writing code and data structures than a first year PhD student in bioinformatics teaching themself Bash, R, and Python.

Private equity ruined the soup experience at Panera out of greed. SOUP.

They have no business near a fucking hospital.

Who would have guessed that siphoning off the balance sheets of hospitals to buy some private equity douchebags more yachts and Congressmen would result in a drop in patient care?

They really want to force young white women out of the workforce. And it is wild to watch conservative white women stump for their own subjugation. Because when they are not longer useful they will find out the cage isn't even gilded

Eugenics against disabled people are ramping up, it’s BAD, we will die VERY QUICKLY.

What you’re doing RIGHT NOW is what you’d have done “back then”.

We NEED nondisabled people to speak up, to act up, to do SOMETHING, because your voices & actions always carry more weight in our ableist society.

Can we just shove a certain loud mouthed bootlicker trans woman back her glass closet and lock the door?

She’s such a waste of oxygen.

Vet found hanging draped in trans flag The suicide letter they won't publish

I'm sad to share that the trans vet that took her life outside the VA last week was apparently Elisa Rae Shupe.

She's someone many of us know - she was responsible for the mass email leak that let us know how the ADF, Heritage, etc planned to enact trans eradication we see today.

RIP Elisa.

The staggering selfishness of our populace makes my whole spirit hurt

framers couldn't account for the speaker of the house being a pathetic toady

The idea that they’re “dissolving” a congressionally-created, cabinet-level department that’s existed on its own for 45 years, and within the cabinet for 70 years, on the say so the president, an unelected billionaire, and like 3 racist code-monkeys is…well, fucking insan

I was at 55 in October, and I’m a certified fat girl.

Genetics and physiology are fucking wild.

And so, to circle back to the original point: cults are high-control organizations with low tolerance for dissident thought, where all effort of its members is focused on benefiting the few at the top. They fall apart without control.

Return-to-office is the oligarchy asserting control bc they can
