Trump doesn't care about crime in D.C. โ which is at a 30-year low. He's creating another fake "emergency" in an attempt to show force. If he actually cared about keeping the city safe, he wouldn't have stoked insurrectionists to attack the Capitol on Jan 6. Hello?

A screenshot of an ABC News article published on August 11, 2025. The headline reads, "Supreme Court formally asked to overturn landmark same-sex marriage ruling." The sub-headline adds, "Kim Davis, a former clerk who refused gay couples, brought the appeal." The article is written by Devin Dwyer.
But I was told by the New York Times that marriage equality was a stunning success that succeeded because of its modest political goals.
Almost like the last two decades of progress were hollow assimilationism into a collapsing neoliberal order rather than actual liberation.

Anas al-Sharif among five Al Jazeera journalists killed by Israel in Gaza
Al Jazeera staff killed in targeted Israeli attack on a tent housing journalists near al-Shifa Hospital, Gaza City.
When you want to conduct a genocide without people seeing what you're doing, you kill all the journalists. That's exactly what Israel is doing. They just murdered 5 Al-Jazeera journalists living in a tent next to al-Shifa hospital.

Quote on a dark blue background with a white quotation mark. Text says: โThis is a devastating betrayal that will haunt our militaryโs legacy for generations. The Air Force has just ripped away the retirement dreams of transgender service members who have devoted nearly two decades of their lives to our nationโsacrificing time with family, enduring deployments, and serving with unwavering dedication.โ Lambda Legal logo in the bottom right corner.
Quote on a dark blue background with a white quotation mark. Text says: โThese brave Americans are just years away from the security they had earned through blood, sweat, and sacrifice, only to have it stolen because of who they are. This isnโt just policyโitโs an attack on real families who now face financial ruin after giving everything to their country. The message being sent is chilling: your service means nothing if you live authentically.โ Lambda Legal logo in the bottom right corner.
Quote on a dark blue background with a white quotation mark. Text says: โThese service members have met every standard and earned every accolade, yet theyโre being cast aside like their years of sacrifice never happened. This calculated cruelty against our own troops weakens our military and betrays our deepest values. We will fight with everything we have to ensure these patriots receive the retirement benefits they have rightfully earned through their dedicated service.โ Lambda Legal logo in the bottom right corner.
The U.S. Air Force has announced it will deny early retirement options to all transgender service members with 15-18 years of service, instead of separating them from the military without retirement benefits.

Screenshot of a news article from the Politics section. The text discusses concerns from UPMC staffers who believe the hospital prematurely restricted gender-affirming care due to administrative threats, potentially endangering young patients. Behavioral health therapist Kailey Andrew shares experiences with suicidal trans teens, noting research showing hormone therapy can reduce depression and suicidality in young trans people. Andrew describes the difficulty of no longer being able to refer patients for gender-affirming treatment and feeling pressured to give misleading statements to teens in crisis, which they refuse to do.
UPMC in Pennsylvania is expecting their providers to lie to trans patients and tell them their healthcare is illegal, even when they're at risk of suicide.

Trans men will be banned from all bathrooms and facilities because they're banned from the men's for being AFAB while being banned from the women's for looking like men and "causing alarm."

Gavin Newsom and Kathy Hochul are looking at potentially risky plans to counter Texas' radical redistricting scheme.
Before my first deployment (S. America), my dad (a Vietnam vet) told me things were going to be different. "If you think someone is going to shoot you, shoot them first! Come home!"
Dems can't just get hit and react and expect to survive. We have to hit/shoot first!
