I'm starting to think this guy doesn't care about the future of the Iranian people or stability in the Middle East

a tweet from the Nazi/Child Porn Website made by perennial douche bag hack Jesse Singal reads: "The level of misinformation spread by me about youth gender medicine, because I have a professional stake in it, is really pathetic."

There. I fixed it. (you're welcome!)

The entire anti-trans care grift is built in treating the usual way medicine works as if it's a scandal.

Therapists figure out if a kid is trans the same way they figure out if they're depressed. They ask questions, maybe using a formal scale to quantify how kids compare to similar kids.

I assume this is addressed to Greg Bovino.

this is Jesse's entire game: instilling readers with the *feeling* that something is horribly wrong with gender-affirming care w/o providing a shred of evidence it's actually happening (because it isn't)

Caesar's Palace says it will introduce a "trusted contact feature" that will alert your loved ones when you run out of money and need a stake just so you can get back to even and then quit, you promise

This is some 17th century French court bs. Sure. Why not

i’m so excited for peace in the Middle East. we’re only one war away.

What "it's a distraction" people fundamentally need to understand about fascism is that fascism's entire mode of operation is diverting popular anger/anxiety/despair into channels of violence against the Other (both internal and external).

It's not flailing, it's the whole strategy.

So, I dunno. Be nice to a trans person today. And don't forget trans men as part of all of this.

Anyone clowning Mamdani for this is not a serious person. He's doing exactly what any leader should do when the sundowning fascist develops an anime crush on them: exploit that shit to the fullest.

everything is increasingly intolerable all the time.

someone is using incendiary rhetoric and it's not the kids

the "just asking questions" to "legitimate questions about fairness in sports" to "the state doesn't have to consider us as real people" pipeline working exactly as designed.

Kansas just invalidated the drivers licenses of every trans person in the state. They’re being told to surrender their current licenses and get new ones listing their birth sex. No grace period. Get caught driving with your now-invalid license and you’re looking at jail and a fine.

Kansas Sends Letters To Trans People Demanding The Immediate Surrender Of Drivers Licenses "The legislature did not include a grace period."

It seems all Kansas-issued trans drivers' licenses are invalid, effective tomorrow

It is now illegal for trans people to drive a car until they surrender their license at a DMV (that most will need to drive to) and have it reissued with the wrong gender marker

This was never about woman's sports

do not volunteer for work you do not want to do

You guys remember when Barack Obama lightly criticized a Supreme Court decision and they all acted like he’d vivisected Alito’s favorite puppy right in front of his eyes?

it's hard to explain to normies who are not plugged in on this just how thin the theories of anti-trans authorities really are. These people simply cannot believe that the NYT and The Atlantic would both push folks who are so full of shit.

Yessssss! There's so much cool shit out there for spy novels. The pulpy stuff is reaaaaaaly fun. Clancy's early stuff is some of the best. The Hunt for Red October is really good. But Patriot Games was even better.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar X.com Trump notes his crowd is more enthused about bigotry than they are for tax cuts: "It's amazing how strongly people feel about that.

You can just say "yes, he is a racist" or "yes, obviously he is a racist" or "are you fucking kidding me, what kind of stupid question is that in 2026?"

Perfect. No notes.

NY Times Pitchbot: “I converted to Catholicism a couple weeks ago. Here's what I think Jesus got wrong.”

Oh big same! It's never been satisfactorily explained other than "cafeteria Christian." But like,,, that's not a *reason*. That's just being inconsistent

Yeah,,, except for the ones they agree with (like Leviticus 20:13). Then JC's fulfillment of the covenant suddenly doesn't count for some reason

It's been fun seeing The Consultants lose their mind about how they don't get this ad, which is the coolest shit she's done yet.

(Also, yes, that's Matt Mercer, who I've come to learn since this ad dropped is more famous than Michael Jordan.)
