sometimes the cure for mental illness is cramming your apartment full of your friends and loved ones to remind yourself that you are loved

Charles James Kirk, 31, died on Wednesiiay from a gunshot to the neck at a Utah Valley University campus event just as he was trying to deflect a question about mass shootings by suggesting they were largely a function of gang violence. He died with a net worth of $12 million, which he made by espousing horrific and bigoted views in the name of advancing Christian nationalism. The foundation of his empire was the group he cofounded and led, Turning Point USA, which is a key youth- recruitment arm of the MAGA movement. Kirk was able to launch Turning Point at the age of 18 because he received money from Tea Party member Bill Montgomery, right-wing donor Foster Feiss, and his own father, also a prolific right-wing donor. He was an unrepentant racist, transphobe, homophobe, and misogynist who often wrapped his bigotry in Bible verses because there was no other way to pretend that it was morally correct. He had children, as do many vile people.

THIS IS NOT A POPULAR ADMINISTRATION, IGNORE THE RADICALIZED IDIOTS ONLINE

PROTEST, RESIST, ORGANIZE

In this clip, as agents pulled a man from the car and throw him to the ground, a distraught woman in the car can be heard shouting: “We’re going to church, and you guys do this to me in front of my kids!”

I am seeing a LOT of people misleadingly say "The senate will not pass this, they'll filibuster."

IF Democrats filibuster, that means the government shuts down. This was a major reason the NDAA restrictions on tricare for trans youth passed last time, Dems did not filibuster.

This wouldn't just ban federal funds from directly funding gender-affirming care, it would be an effective ban on ANY facility that receives ANY federal funding for ANY reason from providing gender-affirming care.

It's a de-facto ban.

Call your congressmen.

Call your reps. We know that Dems will throw trans people under the bus even without the govt shutdown on the line. They need to hear from everyone but especially cis folks that this is not acceptable.

hi, cis folks!

if you said you’d stand with trans people, we need you now.

the FY26 budget bill gets a vote by 9/30. the GOP wants to jam a ban on federal funding for ALL health services that provide trans care for ANY AGE.

we need you to call senators: reps.fyi

"school shooting industry"

I think it's underappreciated that this site goes "we know you all came up with your own solution to things we don't have, and now that we have an official version we're working with your solution to combine the two"

two stills of a man in a suit,wearing glasses and smoking a cigarette When I choose to see the good side of things, I'm not being naive. It is strategic and necessary.

Goodnight.

It's like they say in a laboratory trying to come up with every conceivable reason for Tron fans not to go see the new Tron movie.

Furries...

At FWA, AC and now EF yall have left vast amounts of trash behind, hurting our reputation with the venues.

Show some fucking respect and bring a trash bag with you if you know youll be creating vast amounts of it.

I need to be reassured that the Anthropic settlement isn’t just “and this is how much it costs to steal work, build that into your budget model“ 😭

the real glory of world war two was that it involved a warrior cult being ground down and beaten to a pulp by people who would rather have been doing something else.

The Gorn Father Part II

The way they would accomplish banning trans gun ownership is by having the ATF along with another federal agency or board such as HHS declare anyone with gender dysphoria has a "mental illness" that makes them a "danger to [themselves] or to others" under U.S.C. § 922(g)(4) and 27 CFR § 478.11.

Everyone asking how this could be consitutional and part of the answer is that SCOTUS in Skrmetti basically made discrimination against trans people legal so long as the pretext is based on diagnosis. So they'll target diagnosis and say it's not based on trans status or sex in court like Skrmetti.

Society of conservatives put as much effort into helping people as they did into crying about wokeness

Because some people haven't heard it yet: PAYPAL IS NOT A BANK, DO NOT LEAVE MORE THAN A COUPLE HUNDRED DOLLARS SITTING IN YOUR ACCOUNT AT ANY TIME. MOVE IT TO YOUR BANK ACCOUNT IMMEDIATELY.

Paypal can and will close your account and steal all your money without warning. And have done MANY times.

Toshiro Mifune wearing a bomber coat. His facial hair is a thick stubble, and his hair is swept, but unkempt and partially obscures the lefthand side of his face. He is the definition of "Rogue-ishly Handsome."

It's really ridiculous just how handsome he was.
Also fabulous movie! Hope you enjoyed.

This is a form of child abuse.

"A.i." damages people's ability to think critically, robs people of the joy and human experience of creating art, and exposes them to propaganda controlled by fascist billionaires.

Obscene.

Do not let your kids participate in this. Yell at anyone who pushes it.

9. Right now, one party has not joined the anti-trans policy escalation. If that fragile dichotomy collapses—if Dems too decide that trans people can be sacrificed—the result will not be a lesser evil. It will be a political consensus that our rights are gone, and that outcome could be even worse.

And Snow White was 14 😶
