With New Momentum, Republican States Push Broader Limits for Trans Americans In states that once focused mainly on health care and sports for transgender minors, debates now revolve around the validity of transgender identity.

The subheadline on this NYT piece is going to turn me into the Joker.

Like... this... is exactly what trans people have been saying was going to happen for years.

I can excuse prison camps and fascism but I draw the line at hurting capital

SCOTUS to Trump

Something something politics in art. Wild how the most acclaimed thing Star Wars has done in a long ass time is explicitly political. Funny that.

It’s crazy to me how almost no one knows that the popularity of supply side economics is a relatively new invention. Up until the mid 70s overwhelmingly America specifically operated as a demand sided economy.

the main reason to go after the rich is that if you don’t the entire structure of your society is predicated on the whims of people who are entirely disconnected from ordinary life

billionaires are simply too dangerous to exist, and any budgetary stuff that comes out of it is just a bonus

Climate change is making the Winter Olympics harder to host Fewer countries will be cold enough to produce enough snow, even with machines. See where.

By the middle of this century, there could be fewer than 20 countries with the right conditions and infrastructure to host the Winter Games, according to a 2024 study.

Here’s what the future could look like for 93 possible Olympic host locations:

But nooooo trans people aren’t under attack from both the left and the right. We’re just overreacting, right?

If a money man disappears, trains still run, house still get built, food still gets cooked. If labor disappears then society collapses. #eattherich

The entire idea that we need to focus our wellness on capital as opposed to labor is still so baffling because it’s like yeah this post is right.

YouTube video by Michael MacKelvie Why America is Slipping in the Olympics

I fucking love this channel. This whole video is basically a dissertation on how american capitalism has mote or less destroyed the development of youth sports. Great stuff.

The pace at which US wealth concentration is rising is simply staggering

The concentration of AI wealth into the hands of a few tech barons + plutocratic capture ==> unchartered territory

The acting director of ICE told Congress, under oath, that local law enforcement in Colorado leaked raid plans, allowing gang members to escape.

After 9NEWS questioned ICE's claim and its timeline, ICE deleted the claim from its social media platforms.

Right wingers are so funny because they’ll unironically say shit like “so much for the tolerant left” and it’s like honey, tolerance is a social contract and whoever breaks that social contract is no longer protected by it.

It’s not just who leads. It’s who enables.

The anti-trans propaganda push is one of the best examples I know of real-world disinformation in action.

another guy who never protested before radicalized to the point of tears by watching masked ICE agents terrify children in his neighborhood

the Republicans are not ready or mentally capable of comprehending the backlash they have generated

CNN: "Another photograph - these are notes AG Bondi brought to the hearing today. This shows a list of Rep. Jayapal's search history. Lawmakers are allowed to go to a DOJ facility to search unredacted files. We learned from this photo that the searches are apparently being tracked & read by the DOJ"

The Pleb Reporter @truckdriverpleb (a far right big twitter account based in Canada often amplified by Elon Musk etc) admitting that he posted an image of an innocent trans person that he believed to be a mass murderer before it had been verified. Because it's being so widely shared he's not seeking out to try and stop people from sharing his original post and undoing the damage he's done, ends with "sincere apologies"

An image of a trans person (who lives on the other side of the country) is circulating online because of a bunch of far right accounts on social media are claiming it's the Tumbler mass shooter. This individual had nothing to do with it.

These kind of lies get innocent LGBTQ+ people hurt or killed

Trans people didn’t ask to get pulled into any of this | Xtra Magazine Charlie Kirk’s murder is the latest event in which trans people have suddenly, inexplicably, become main characters

Disgusted by the level of anti-trans misinformation already spreading about the shooting in Tumbler Ridge.

I wrote about it after Charlie Kirk in September, and I hate that I’m probably going to have to write about it tomorrow

Notice how the popular media narrative has moved on, while people on the ground in Minneapolis are still struggling and crying out that things are as bad as ever. This is how fascist regimes operate — overreach, recalibration, normalization. Get louder, not quieter.

F.A.A. Halts All Flights at El Paso Airport for 10 Days

A major American city has just been cut off for ten days by all air travel for no reason. This feels really ominous, like a trial run to isolate cities and conduct crackdowns.

The Epstein files have confirmed what the left have been pointing out for years: white supremacist and patriarchal hierarchies built on capitalist exploitation lead to gross inequality and monsters.

Billionaires pay millionaires to shape the narrative that trans people and immigrants are the enemy

This racist video has now been removed from President Trump’s Truth Social account.

The only elected Republicans I know of who criticized it were Senator Tim Scott, Senator Roger Wicker, Senator Pete Ricketts, and Rep. Mike Lawler.

I’m not suggesting they deserve credit or praise for this.

There... aren't any trans characters on any current Netflix shows. The number is already zero.

It's hard to overstate how ell-organized the portland march that got gassed was... organizers made the crowd promise to be peaceful, said the march would slow in front of the ICE building but not stop, that we would stick to one chant (ICE Out). They did absolutely everything right and got gassed.

The post-Me Too era has really taught me that the underlying issue with the persistence of sexual violence isn’t exactly women’s credibility, as the “believe women” slogan suggested, but rather with rape’s moral status. It’s not that people think it doesn’t happen. They think it doesn’t matter.

EXCLUSIVE: U.S. Military Tells Key Middle East Ally to Prepare for Attack on Iran In addition to military targets, Trump is considering strikes on senior Iranian leaders with the aim of spurring the overthrow of the Iranian government.

Drop Site claims that an Arab government was informed that attacks on Iran could commence as soon as Sunday, local time, and "would not be limited to nuclear or missile sites but also target regime change"

In 1933 the nazis didn't frame the erosion of their constitutions courts and laws as repression. They said they were protecting public order and preventing chaos and destruction. After the Reichstag fire they had all the precedent they needed to arrest journalists and political opponents

Here's an opportunity to support the other journalist arrested today; Georgia Fort, who will have far fewer resources available to her than Don Lemon.

This was an invented moral panic. The NYT and Fox News ran more stories about trans people than the Advocate, an explicitly LGBTQ publication. It was the exact same story in the UK. The media fanned the flames of a moral panic.
