Regulations to close the DV loopholes, license requirements (if at no or low cost) and safe storage requirements, absolutely would be good. This change is not it.

I want to see less shooting deaths in this country. Proposing sweeping legislation to remove firearms from a populace who is STILL beset by a fascist regime is at best a complete failure to read the room. The proposal has carve outs for law enforcement and military, which is currently absurd.

This.

Republicans can’t win on their policies, so they are trying to dodge accountability by rewriting the rules. These lawmakers are going out of their way to silence the will of the people and deliberately undermine our democracy.

Every time I feel like I know a lot about the rise of fascism in Germany, I learn something new.

The last 48 hours have shown why people have stopped relying on legacy journalism and have migrated to independent journalists in droves.

The benefit of legacy journalism is supposed to be “editors” and “factchecking” and they can’t even get that right in a rush to blame trans people.

I know a lot of mainline dems read my work, so for those of you skeptical of my argument because of my role as a trans journalist, know that I _endorsed_ Harris for president.

The critiques I levy against Newsom are very particular to him and he poses a unique danger that I cannot stay silent on.

I've been thoroughly annoyed that the media has seemed to be treating Newsom the way they have like he's a top candidate for 2028 when he's such a piece of shit. There are so many better options out there, plus most of the country doesn't like California politics either.

I'm going to publish the entirety of an exchange I just had with the press office of the DOJ. I want you to see how they are talking about truth.

No politics and no pants feels like a superior theory?

Hunter Biden has a point. And a quite colorful one.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

I’ve said time and time again when you capitulate on sports, they just move to the next thing, and now NOTUS has some dems flipping on trans youth healthcare.

This is BS.

I ran for office in a red state and won with 80% of the vote. I regularly talk about my identity when I knock doors. The key is to do so a way that connects to other issues (e.g. being trans shapes how I think about ALL healthcare access, threats to education, etc.).

It's that simple.

The President's disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers. He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations. It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.

AOC: “It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds.

He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings.

He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights.

This is political intimidation.

HUGELY Important.

Yea, except tractors weren't built on stealing the collective works of basically all of humanity. And, while they do share their part in destroying the environment, still not nearly to the same scale.

I had someone try to reclaim "69" the other way around, since people say "nice" whenever that happens, they're planning to us it in a non-sexual way for anything that's nice.

Example: That nature painting looks 69

“Without widespread theft, my industry can’t survive” is an argument against your industry surviving, and is not an argument for allowing widespread theft

YouTube video by Dr. Glaucomflecken Health Insurance Companies Don’t Care About You

I made this video 2 years ago. I had a lot of people tell me I was being dramatic. Now we know UNH are pushing nursing home to get residents to sign DNRs. I’m so glad people are waking up.

A clip from the Fox News Channel's terms of use says the company's services are "for your personal enjoyment and entertainment."

Just a reminder that the "Fox News Channel" is just a name— it does not describe an actual news channel. The FNC's own description of its services is here, from its terms of use:

Something I hope everyone covers this tomorrow notes is that...the President has no authority whatsoever to make trade deals without congress. None. Not even the pretext of one.

Yep.

"The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command."

Everyone is going to be using a self-driving car in 2 years too...

Been hearing that one since I think 2015, maybe earlier even. I'm unconvinced to say the least.

Abrego Garcia has never even been charged with a crime. Donald Trump, in contrast, has been convicted, by a jury, of 34 felonies.

20,000 in ruby red Utah on their feet, in community, and ready to organize for a better world.

A better world is possible.

Exiling people beyond the protection of US law without due process is not only unconstitutional, it's a rejection of the entire American revolutionary project. Sending people "beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences" is one of the grievances enumerated in the Declaration of Independence.

Oh, the irony 😂—talk about paid protesters! MAGA has filed a lawsuit against Elon Musk in Pennsylvania, alleging he failed to pay individuals who gathered signatures for a petition during the 2024 presidential campaign.
