He is literally the worst at this ever

it’s basically trite to note at this point but if this were any other president, and certainly a democrat, spending a ton of money to gild the white house would be a legit scandal

You’ve had success having a point of view on your show, as Colbert has, at least in the ratings. Late night used to be broad, unifying entertainment. I know Jay Leno recently spoke on this topic, about making a show for everyone … I’m going to take a hard pass on taking comedic advice from Jay Leno.

John Oliver just says the thing. I'm happy for him.

There is a concerted effort by this administration to forcibly remove the notion of trans people existing in public life. That’s why it’s so frustrating when democrats insist on meeting anti-trans crusaders on talking points like sports where they are. This is where they’re at. They want us gone.

This month is only 7 days old and omg I'm so tired and there's so much more happening.

This is a good visualization of when people say that AI saves them time.

This fell. To the student. Newspaper.

Pete Buttigieg clarifies recent comments around ‘fairness’ of transgender kids’ in sports “I see this issue being used to divide,” the former transportation secretary told independent journalist Aaron Parnas.

Buttigieg has triangulated himself into endorsing the “states’ rights” argument segregationists made, just wrapped in McKinsey speak.

Like, he acknowledges that trans folks are a tiny, vulnerable minority community. But then he proceeds to throw them to the wolves anyway.

Former 'Alligator Alcatraz' worker describes 'inhumane' conditions inside In an exclusive report, NBC6 spoke with a former corrections officer who says she saw hundreds held in cages with no sunlight, backed up toilets and little access to showers.

A former “Alligator Alcatraz” worker says detainees are subject to “inhumane” conditions — packed by the hundreds into cages without sunlight, with overflowing toilets and limited access to showers.

it has been said over and over but it’s worth reiterating in the face of this horrifying decision: RFK is quite literally joining the war on cancer on the side of cancer

Ive heard others also say if you dont see them on home turf, it just won't be the same.

So Pritzker doesn’t defend trans kids in practice, just with words in front of national media.

A Texas Judge Is Suing For the Right to Ignore the Supreme Court’s Same-Sex Marriage Ruling The Court ruled in Obergefell v. Hodges that marriage is a fundamental right. Only Brian Umphress dares to ask the question: What if that doesn’t apply in Texas?

No really, Republicans are serious about undoing marriage equality:

A Texas judge is currently suing for a legal right to only officiate weddings for different-sex couples

This would empower state actors to selectively withdraw LGBTQ people's fundamental rights

World Athletics’ mandatory genetic test for women athletes is misguided. I should know – I discovered the relevant gene in 1990 World Athletics says its genetic test for women ensures ‘the integrity of women’s sport’ – but science does not support this overly simplistic idea.

Every TERF is like 'birds and bees, it's easy, folks' and (almost) every scientist actually working on questions of sex is like 'oof guys, what can I tell you, I have been working on this question for 52 years, and frankly, I know less and less every year' theconversation.com/world-athlet...

Yeah man I think of a lot of dumb stuff too. Like what if we had a Gummi Bear so big you could sleep on it?

Boston Children's Hospital says it won't be bullied into abandoning trans youth - LGBTQ Nation The hospital has faced bomb threats, hate campaigns, and threats to funding over the years but has never wavered in supporting gender-affirming care.

Good.

No doctor should be forced to turn away families because of political threats.

once again, regular people with so much more at stake than privileged elites are doing more to stand up to fascism than those privileged elites

Love folks in the airport who facetime and yell into their phone for everyone to hear 🙃

Now is a good time to revisit construction of a #Corsi-RosenthalBox air filter.

"The Corsi-Rosenthal Box is an affordable DIY air-cleaning system made with simple materials found in hardware stores. The box fan pulls air through the filters on the sides and blows out clean air."

Oh we are in a full-blown hostage situation. And to happen during hurricane season and massive flooding this year oh boy...

Everything about this story is horrific:

1. The student never mentions Jews
2. The university is going to expel a student for criticizing a country over genocide
3. A Republican congressman is taking credit and implying the student is a Muslim terrorist
4. The U.S. Justice Department is involved

it’s a real testament to the intellectual traditions of these centuries-old institutions, folding to authoritarian pressure like paper in a storm and kneeling to naked financial extortion
