As an Iranian in exile as some call it, I want nothing more than a regime change in Iran.

But what I don't want is my country destroyed, people killed, and all looted by Americans!

And another thing: When examining the harsh reality of what happens to victims and perpetrators of sexual violence, it becomes clear how sexual violence is a tool of the patriarchy. It is a political weapon. It is a way to keep women out of "men's spaces." It is retaliation and punishment.

ACLU Files Lawsuit Against Kansas Trans Drivers License Revocations, Bathroom Bounty Hunter Law The lawsuit was filed in state court on Friday.

The ACLU is filing suit against Kansas anti-Trans government overween revoking Trans people's drivers licenses and a law siccing bounty hunters on people using bathrooms of frowned-upon gender identifications. This is Nazism, in case you're confused.

Here’s a thought for James Comer.

There IS a First Lady who has had a relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. And it’s not Hillary Clinton.

It might be worthwhile for Comer to subpoena the First Lady who actually knows Epstein.

You know, just to see what she knows.

The Handbasket 100% independent journalism by Marisa Kabas

Now that CNN and WBD are set to become state media in a sale to Paramount/Oracle/TikTok, it is especially important to support independent media.

Add your favorites in the replies. Fuck state-backed media monopolies.

The @nytimes.com had to publish a mea culpa for decades of hatred negatively prejudicing coverage of gay men and lesbians.

But they didn't have to learn anything. And the way they cover (and don't cover) trans people is proof that they haven't.

Today marks 14 years since 17-year-old, unarmed Trayvon Martin was shot and killed while walking home.

14 years later, we’re still demanding a country where our children can walk home in peace β€” without being treated like a threat.
