The SAVE Act is a massive voter suppression bill -- and folks should definitely be resisting it. It's been motivated and justified by conspiracy theories about election fraud. But we don't need new conspiracy theories (about DOGE, stolen SSNs, and future fraud) to justify pushing back against it.
Let me suggest a straightforward litmus test for 2028 candidates. Do they support a wealth tax? If they do not, then they are not going to attack the underlying problem that got us to our troubling position in the first place," writes @hamiltonnolan.bsky.social. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/the-real-l...
Also applies to not necessarily superrich people like 5 term senators and supreme court justifices.
I mean, yeah, that's exactly why Hegseth is doing it. It's vice signaling for a domestic audience. The cool thing is that we might get to see him cry on the stand of The Hague for it. That's a good enough reason to keep living.
If people want to defeat the GOP, they need to grasp with this reality. Stop telling us we're doing better. Stop telling us our suffering is GOP propaganda. Stop telling us to be grateful for scraps.
Nobody is going to be excited to vote for scraps.
HOW DARE YOU CRITICIZE THE STATUS QUO INSTITUTIONALISTS!!
YOU MUST WANT THE EVIL WIZARDS TO WIN!
Spain, the new leader of Europe
The painful irony is that trans folks have been sounding the alarm for over a decade and our concerns have been actively dismissed by those in power as alarmist or fearmongering.
The goal has been to eliminate the possibility of trans life in any public or embodied way. It's always been clear.
You really need to watch this whole clip. It's amazing.
ECCC was fun and I had a wonderful time.
But there was a storm cloud. When I complained about Trump with my white straight cis friends, we were all sincere and concerned.
But I talked with many Trans friends, and it’s so much worse. They are in fear for their lives.

Damn
cool, half of DHS keeps going unpaid and the DOD doesn’t get the extra war money they want, sounds great
J Jonah Jameson going ‘spider man confirmed bigot and menace
Happy International Women's Day to the original International Woman
every single employee being jailed is the moderate position
the president, who is a known, literal, legally adjudicated rapist, has been accused of raping a child
But no, now we are here, in Trump's second term broken by four full fucking years of Biden interregnum, and it is only at the instant that the Public elected him again that they also seemed to simultaneously say 'oh yeah, Epstein, what was up with that?' and I hate them so much for it
Sure seems like it would buy a whole lot of everything without killing a whole bunch of everyone if we defunded the military.
I think it's just that Hal hates Guy, and doesn't count him.
uhhh oh my god
I saw a comment the said we aren’t “angry enough.” But all we are is angry. Our veins circulate it like acid. It cracks our sternums. It poisons and paralyzes us. We hiss and spit at each other, all impotent, helpless rage.
We don’t need more anger. We need more direction.
If you've grown up having to deal with the weirdest and most unsettling of church goers (often white and republican, lets not mince words) you know how true this is. Christian Nationalism is just that mind bending and dangerous. Its basically no different from a turbo cult but now they have power
Could you boost this for me as well?
The information in these links needs to get to as many trans folks in Kansas as possible, and I’m sure ACLU Kansas could use the visibility

if the media had any integrity — and it doesn’t anymore — they’d be pointing out on a loop that Obama made a deal with Iran, Trump cancelled it because Obama is Black, and then Trump started a war on the pretense there is no deal
I've been annoyed at him since the early 10s, but I can't remember why anymore.
The number is now 40. Imagine the response to a mass shooting that killed 40 kids at school.
But this is an act of self-defence.
