addy,

With this salvo, Kansas has escalated what will be a federal effort to establish a Jim Crow system of lawfully enforced second-class citizenship aimed at trans American

It was already the case but now it's inarguable; anyone who doesn't fully support trans people is an enemy of all civil rights.

i really can not emphasize enough that the most materially impactful thing you can do for trans people right now is hire them.

Gavin Newsom: “democrats need to cater to the culturally normal..”

The normies he has in mind:

you could not stop me from finishing this

i need allies to stop looking at the ongoing horrors that trans people are facing and responding with "wow imagine what will happen when this comes for [others]"

yeah that'll suck, can we talk about it happening to us RIGHT NOW? we're more than the canary in the coal mine. we deserve to live too.

Jesus lmao. We live in such a topsy-turvy land. In entertainment, all the disgraced sex-pest dirt-bags immediately flock to the Right, proving it to be the land of sex-pests and dirt-bags, yet the Right keeps saying that everyone else is the degenerates, and this somehow keeps...just working. 🤷‍♂️🧵

“But Mamdani can’t be president.” Well he could have if we had treated the Constitution like a living, evolving document as was intended, instead of clinging to the quarter-century-old leavings of lead-toothed slaveowners.

The speed with which American voters are turning against data centers is breathtaking.

One comparison might be what happened to nuclear after the doublewhammy of "The China Syndrome" debuting days before Three Mile Island, except there's no equivalent in terms of Hollywood or industrial accidents.

Yes, we know perfectly well that nothing on earth can shake you out of your vulgar liberal complacency.

ingridverse Feb 21 "God never gives you more than you can handle" is survivorship bias. People who got more than they could handle are dead. Picture of a screaming black cat (cartoon)

YouTube video by The New York Times Gavin Newsom: Democrats Need to Be 'More Culturally Normal'

A few days ago, Newsom upset a bunch of people by saying Dems need to be more "culturally normal." What I didn't realize is that it wasn't some off the cuff phrase, but actually something he's said before. It's a scripted line that he thinks is good? From 2 months ago: youtu.be/Lm0qZy3e-Yk?...

Jesus Christ.

New Yorker's Youtube video ft. editor David Remnick saying "Ben Shapiro, thank you."

New Yorker's Youtube video ft. Ben Shapiro replying to Remnick with "Thanks so much."

Just learned The New Yorker is putting the full force of its name and brand behind public relations for one of the most vicious hatemongers in the US:

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.

Off the top of my head:

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

respectfully tapping the "support billionaire-free, worker-owned, independent media" sign again

art of the deal, baby

there’s genuinely something wrong with the entirety of florida

FYI for fellow narrative designers/game writers: the studio in question is Sentona Games and it’s my understanding they are currently interviewing to replace me. Be very careful with them. They were very nice to me and easy to work with right up until I needed the money I was promised.

i have a highly scientific hunch that while a genocidal gaza policy obviously hurt harris/biden's support generally, it hurt them especially with People Who Give a Shit, i.e the people who would more usually be the ones volunteering & knocking doors & making sure their friends & family vote

She’s been released 🙏🏽

finally a good use case for openclaw

happy 14th anniversary to all who observe

why are they saying "unlock" like it's an icon on trump's skill tree and not something completely made up

Damn, Graham Platner out there retweeting a huge Holocaust denier antisemite?

wow if only there were warning signs that this guy was a fucking Nazi

you don't get the benefit of the doubt on quote-posting a Nazi account when you had a totenkopf tattoo

this guy is bad, actually

At least they’re only charging students $71,000/year for the once in a lifetime chance to get sent to the gulag

This is good. I'm willing to bet a good portion of the new hires at ICE since Trump 2 are on sex offender/child abuse/domestic abuse lists in addition to a chunk of pardoned J6ers. Wonder how many ICE 'employees' are being paid under the table and not even registered as official hires, too

I’m almost impressed that America attempted to do a bay of pigs but with like 10 assholes total

Yeah the issue with bay of pigs first time around is we had too many guys. That’s why we lost lmao

the party that wants to require ID to vote abruptly invalidating a thousand people’s IDs overnight seems like a pretty giant flashing red light
