Not just another pretty mathemagician with a PhD in linguistics, I also make sourdough. No, you can't see it. Understatedly biconic. Trans rights are human rights.

JD Vance suggests Iran’s uranium stockpile is still intact despite US strikes

Vice-president said the bombing was a ‘success’, but reports suggest the stockpile was probably moved elsewhere

Apparently 2025 involves being nail-bitingly invested in a mayoral race happening roughly 2,990 miles from my house.

Past 36 hours.

"No regime change!"

"Yes, regime change!"

"Ceasefire!"

"God bless Iran and Israel!"

"I'm not happy with Israel or Iran!"

"Israel and Iran don't know what the f**k are doing!"

What a disaster it was! AOC should be forced to take the Cognitive Test that I just completed at Walter Reed Medical Center, as part of my Physical. As the Doctor in charge said, “President Trump ACED it,” meaning, I got every answer right.

small point on the insane, racist diatribe trump just posted but this is not how cognitive tests work.

Does Israel really not see that Trump doesn't "support" them, so much as he thinks truly, genuinely believes he owns them like a waterfront resort? His outrage here is actually real, he truly cannot believe that a man he thinks he employs would cross him.

Schumer works for Israel and Wall Street. He probably wants this. Schumer is the only Senate Democrat to vote for the Iraq War. Time for a vote of no confidence in Dem leadership.

You and the other Senate Dems need to do a hell of a lot more than write letters and call for investigations.

Start with blocking every motion, every vote. No to cloture on everything. No appointments. Nothing.

Shut it down.

If y’all don’t think JD Vance purposely said something racist about Senator Padilla…I’m going to remind you that Vance served with Padilla in the Senate before he was VP.

He called him Jose because he’s a racist asshole.

The NYT is aghast that trans people haven't elected to just lay down and die after their editors put so much money and time into trans eradication.

Court’s Ruling in Skrmetti Threatens All Care That’s Politically Contested — Assigned An anti-trans, anti-science decision relies on a history of discrimination against women, and opens the door to challenges on care like vaccines.

The decision in Skrmetti lets politicians create their own evidence to justify banning necessary healthcare.

It's bad, writes @evanurquhart.bsky.social. Not just for trans people, but for anyone whose healthcare is or could potentially be politically contested.

Skrmetti seems like one of many modern SCOTUS decisions that future generations will look back on as the Dred Scott of our time

When you call your senators, tell them the part that strips trans people of gender affirming care in the BBB is section 71117.
They can only pretend they don't know for so long. Call and point section 71117 out to them.
Show your senators YOU give a shit about trans people.

The claims that McIver, Padilla, and Lander were committing assault should make you question every other time LEOs claim assault or resisting arrest, if you weren’t already.

Lander and Padilla have set the standard that absolutely every Democratic politician should meet or exceed if they don't want to get primaried.

This kind of weird way of thinking about time reminds me of in Hitchhikers Guide where they talk about how everyone remembers a time before time travel, but once time travel was invented it was suddenly in every time, and no one knows when it was invented lol

Trump Is Stiffing the National Guard Soldiers He Sent to L.A. As usual, Trump is refusing to foot the bill.

Forcing people to work for no pay is very on brand for the president.

The thousands of National Guardsmen President Trump sent to Los Angeles in an authoritarian power play are working for free.

Cassidy is also a monster who has been targeting other kinds of healthcare providers for a while now. He's a vocal opponent of gender-affirming care and abortion rights, and has been using his position as senator to bully providers

hard to predict the vibes tomorrow, but historically the instigators most likely to disrupt a protest with violence are the police

About "nonviolence"—

The definition of "violence" is not neutral.

What counts as violence is determined by those who control public discourse. This is why police can terrorize people without it registering as violence, while the slightest act of community defense is framed as "violence."

This is a terrifying but sobering thought. Everything he does is about how it can be spun to position him next to people he thinks are the "greats." Other than money, he doesn't care about anything else in the world. This is why he keeps bringing up Washington and Lincoln.

At a time when other politicians attempted to distort the truth and disrupt our state, we stayed true to the virtues of the Land of Lincoln.

As long as I'm governor, Illinois will uphold our Midwestern and American values — by treating people with dignity, respect, and fairness.

There's a fun little nesting doll of fascism in this, from

-They tackled and handcuffed a US Senator
-For asking a question of an admin official
-Who had just stated plainly that the federal government wanted to "liberate" a city/state from its leaders

The head of the department of homeland security announced that she planned to use military force to take over a democratically elected government in the state of California and we are arguing about whether a California Senator properly identified himself at the door.
