What game do you play?

A road sign sign for “FANTASY FOR ADULTS.” The digital banner reads, “Everything is going to be okay.”

posting this bc if I see one more doomer take im going to kill someone with hammers

i don’t think it’s realistic to ask people being targeted due to their ethnicity and national origin not to engage in displays of ethnic and national pride

elon is going to start posting excerpts of hot allostatic load

important context about the concentration camps in el salvador:

This is how you get Vichy Dems. Democrats who watch as the world is bulldozed just so they can hold ceremonial positions every few years while they do nothing and then let the world get bulldozed some more.

It’s not a theory to make your lives better.

It is a job security program for them.

A whole host of overpaid consultants and talking heads told them not to do the right thing and they still chose to do the right thing, so I'd even go a step further and encourage people to contact Senators who opposed this measure (SB 9) and thank them for standing by trans people and our families

Haven't played it yet but it sounds like Balatro is a card game where a clown deals you a card called 'The Negative 20 of Coins' and everything turns purple

Ah shit it turns out the problem with conservatism is that conservatives are all evil

Everyone in the Trump coalition voted for someone to get got. Most of them didn’t realize that they were that someone to someone else.

Section 3(g) of the Gender Identity Order is admittedly slightly vaguer than Section 4 of the Healthcare Order in that it only proscribes the use of "[fJederal [grant] funds [to] promote gender_ idcology." The Gender Identity Order, appears, however, to deny the existence of transgender persons altogether. See Gender Identity Order $ 1 (describing the purpose of the order as "defend[ing] women's rights and protect[ing] freedom of conscience by using clear and accurate language and policies that recognize women are biologically female, and men are biologically 40 Case 8:25-cv-00337-BAH Document 62 Filed 02/14/25 Page 41 of 53 male"); id. $ 2 ("It is the policy of the United States to recognize two sexes, male and female. These sexes are not changeable and are grounded in fundamental and incontrovertible reality.") The Court cannot fathom discrimination more direct than the plain pronouncement of a policy resting on the premise that the group to which the policy is directed does not exist. Thus, Section 3(g) of the Gender Identity Order can only be read as doing exactly what Section-4 of the Healthcare Order does cease funding institutions, including medical institutions, that provide gender affirming medical care to patients under the age of nineteen. Thus, as with Section 4 of Healthcare Order, Kadel mandates a similar finding of discrimination as to Section 3(g) of the Gender Identity Order.

From a federal court decision blocking Trump's anti-trans healthcare order: "The Court cannot fathom discrimination more direct than the plain pronouncement of a policy resting on the premise that the group to which the policy is directed does not exist."

The biggest giveaway is that it's a Tweet and not a screenshot of a Truth Social post.

DIVERSITY WIN! With this confirmation, RFK Jr. is officially the first demon in human flesh to hold this cabinet position

thankfully the word privilege never appears in any documents related to intelligence or cyber security/hacking

The fact that Trump wanted Gaza to be sold for commercial real estate was a known thing and the democrats did little to nothing to offer a viable alternative to people seeing their family get injured , starved or killed by Americans funding

if I understand American politics correctly, progressivism is something that requires 60 senate votes to work, while national conservatism doesn’t require any votes at all

Someone tell Schumer that the OPM is being taken over by college students protesting a genocide so we can actually see some urgency from the opposition party

It's not "politicizing a tragedy" to point out the top levels of the federal government aren't functional—the three key leaders here are drunk rapist TV show host at DoD, reality TV star at DoT, and nobody at FAA—and they're doing squat except spreading the same dysfunction down the ladder.

The core selling point of Trumpism is that other people's suffering will be your gain. So when something awful happens--a plane crash, a mass shooting, you name it--they cannot and will not offer solutions. All they will offer is more suffering.

If you continue to remain silent on immigrant rights, this should be your sign (since you missed the other 1000) that this isn't going to stop at migrants. This isn't just an issue for undocumented people. I hate telling others to see value once it hits them, but that's what's happening here.

right-wing attacks aren't just about causing harm, but closing down possibility spaces -- extinguishing ways of thinking that don't conform to a myopic right-wing lens. treating trans people with decency opens the door to a more compassionate, imaginative society. the right wants to suffocate that

Gotcha, I wasn't clear on exactly when they was happening

I agree with the general sentiment, of course, but I must have missed something. Why tomorrow specifically?

The idea that a "trans person" is a special kind of other person that's given conditional concessions under strict supervision rather than transition being an autonomous action that literally anyone should be able to take only reinforces the power upheld by the ruling class for millennia

YOU... EMBARRASSED ME... IN FRONT OF VANESSA

At the risk of sounding very dumb, what is wrong with this interpretation exactly?
