TGIF.
Very sorry for your loss - seeing his sweet face here brought me & countless others a lot of joy.
Same level of menace as those messages in my spam filter threatening to release my browsing history to my employer unless I send them $1K in crypto.
The answer to every frequently asked question that Spotify poses here is, “yes”
Pete Hegseth blew through more money at the Pentagon in a month than any single point since the height of the Iraq War. What did he spend our hard-earned tax dollars on?
Ribeye, lobster tails, and a $99,000 piano.
One thing every American needs to be clear-eyed about is that we are the bad guys in this war. We started this war, for no reason. We are committing war crimes. We could end the war, but refuse to, for no reason.
On the day that the US and Israel started bombing Iran a shortwave radio station began broadcasting numbers – a technique commonly used by spy agencies to transmit orders in code. A strange, compelling listen – thanks @scannerdot.com for the heads-up

WE STILL DON'T HAVE A CLEAR ANSWER ON THE MOST BASIC QUESTION ABOUT THE IRAN WAR
WHY did the U.S. go to war?
A Popular Information review of public statements over the last 9 days found 17 DIFFERENT EXPLAINATIONS. Many of which contradict each other.
🧵
ICE killed Ruben Ray Martinez — a U.S. citizen — almost a year before the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti.
Yet another needless death in a needless reign of terror.
It look nearly a year for the truth to come to light, a reminder of how much of their violence goes on unknown.
I think this deserves at least as much sustained attention from US media as Claudine Gay's dissertation
Like waking your parents up too early on Saturday morning.
"Dignified" meaning Trump didn't shit his pants.
Today the Israelis ordered the evacuation of the southern suburbs of Beirut. This included a couple Palestinian refugee camps. People who were displaced during the Nakba or in 67, settled in Beirut and now their grand/great grandchildren are once again displaced.
The question is always "what if a kid is wrongfully transitioned" and never "what if a trans kid is denied the ability to transition and endures years of excruciating dysphoria and has to have multiple surgeries later in life to fix the issues caused by going through the wrong puberty."
As Kagan notes in her dissent, the Court opted not to hear the due process parental rights argument against bans on gender-affirming medical care in Skrmetti, basically setting up a regime where parents can force their trans children back into the closet but cannot help them out of it

300.
This is an action aimed at 300 people.
This just highlights how vulnerable the transgender community really is—and how monstrous these policies attacking them really are.
It’s exactly how the Nazis targeted Jews. Exactly.
this is what Nazis did to Jews. the first step is denying them citizenship and access to public life. from there you move swiftly towards extermination.
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
Dispatches from MN: it's getting really hard, guys. The media has left, the donations are drying up, and ICE is still here kidnapping people. It's hard not to be resentful that other people have the option of setting this aside for.other things.
A woman told the FBI that Donald Trump sexually assaulted her when she was 13, and she was deemed credible enough to interview four times.
The administration has been covering up the existence of those interviews—and what is said within them.
The regime is covering up evidence Trump abused kids.

Love to serve my chili with a side of cornbread and a cathartic event.
Tariffs and deportations are among the biggest drivers of Trump's cratering approval. It's an unusual situation: The economy and immigration are traditional GOP strengths, but Trump has managed the distinction of being a GOP president who is deeply unpopular on both.
