polymarket should be beyond illegal. all involved in its creation and upkeep deserve agony for the rest of their days

TOO CRINGE FOR BDSM GAY SEX CLUB. TOO BASED FOR TTRPG GAY FRIENDSHIP CLUB. JUST OKAY ENOUGH FOR GAY GROUP THERAPY CLUB.

once again I reiterate that I have never found a more effective barometer for "is this space safe for my fat cis body" than "show me your specific policies for creating a safe space for trans bodies"

it has a 100% success rate everywhere from doctors to waxing to clothing-optional soaking pools

Accountability Commission hears shocking testimony about ICE in Illinois The commission, tasked by Gov. JB Pritzker to investigate alleged misconduct by federal agents amid the Trump administration’s ‘Operation Midway Blitz’ campaign.

Despite the lies the President and his administration want to tell, you can see and hear what happened for yourself when ICE ran rogue in our state.

No one is above the law — the Illinois Accountability Commission will hold them responsible.

Bombing known residential areas is a war crime and DoD knows this.

So do the officers flying the air assets dropping these bombs.

A lot of Americans need to face justice at the international level.

If the core platform of the DNC isn't joining the world court and serving justice, it is worthless.

It’s funny if you call PayPal or visa lines and bring this up asking why they claim “adult illustrations” is against their regulations but betting on the death of kids is totally fine. They don’t have an answer.

In fact yall should call them at least once a day with this :)

For years we said they’re going for a genocide of trans people and for years we were told to “stop being so dramatic.”

Now we’re at the point of human experimentation with the explicit goal of eradicating us.

Can we call the genocide a fucking genocide now?

Indiana ICE immigration bill heads to governor’s desk for final signature into law The Indiana Senate approved a bill that allows local and state police to enforce federal immigration laws and cooperate with ICE.

Hey everyone going to GenCon, If you're *ANY* flavor of Brown or Black? Please be careful.

(We seriously need to start having conversations about having GenCon in a place that is this fucking fascist. but ya'll *keep* going back)

I see he wages war the same way he lives the rest of his life:

Targeting schoolgirls.

I think if I'd gotten away with attempting a coup, suffered no consequences for it, then won an election four years later, got away with executing citizens in the streets and foreigners in boats, and successfully abducted a head of state, I too might think I could just bomb my way to regime change

Our President is, and always has been, a racist pedophile who attacks girls and murders children just because he can, and because to this point nobody has stopped him.

Just this week:

- Administration is caught hiding evidence Trump sexually assaulted a 13 year old

- Pentagon demands AI companies allow it to use AI for mass surveillance and killer robots

- Trump launches unconstitutional war against Iran

- Pro-Trump oligarch buys CNN

There is no amount of money in the world that would lead me to fight a Vietnamese refugee that grew up in Louisiana

(Also I really want to try a Korean style Po’ Boy)

I'm convinced that the US political divide is:

People who embrace diversity

People who like diversity but have one or two groups they'd like to eliminate or segregate, as long as it's quiet

People who are pants-pissingly terrified of a world in which everyone isn't identical to them

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.

A screenshot of a mobile Google search results page in dark mode for the query "Kansas trans". Under the heading "News about Kansas," there is a list of four news articles: ​An article from the Kansas City Star, published 13 hours ago, with the headline "Kansas informs trans residents their driver’s licenses become invalid on Thursday". The thumbnail shows a sample Kansas driver's license. ​An article from The Independent, published 7 hours ago, with the headline "Kansas sends letters to trans drivers demanding the immediate surrender of their licenses over birthright law". The thumbnail shows small pride flags on desks inside a legislative chamber. ​An article from The Topeka Capital-Journal, published 7 hours ago, with the headline "Kansas invalidates IDs and birth certificates of transgender people". The thumbnail features a close-up of colorful pride flag stickers. ​An article from Erin In The Morning, published 16 hours ago, with the headline "Kansas Sends Letters To Trans People Demanding The Immediate Surrender Of Drivers Licenses". The thumbnail is a nighttime photo of a state capitol building illuminated in pink and red lights.

A day later and no major national news org has covered what they're doing in Kansas.

This is the flip side of the hyper focus on trans issues by the right. The national media ignores what's actually being done to trans people.

This erasure is what contributes to the persecution.

Honestly my only hesitation about the upcoming Mutant Saga in the MCU is this:

It is going to make straight people think that the X-Men are in any way *for* them.

Like, that's such a terrible thing to do to them. Extremely unfair and unkind.

Don't be fooled by this bill's name-- this is a book banning bill that will exclude LGBTQ books from all public schools NATIONWIDE.

Call your congresspeople and tell them to VOTE NO on this nakedly bigoted book banning bullshit.

Nearly blind refugee abandoned by US border patrol found dead in Buffalo Investigation under way after man was dropped off five miles from home but family wasn’t notified, officials say

While cruelty has always been the point of Trump's whole Administration, nothing highlights that more than dropping a nearly blind elderly man 5 miles from nowhere in freezing weather so that he die alone, afraid, and abandoned.

This is Trump's America.

It's so ironic how often bigots talked about being "unpersoned" because people did not want to socialize with them. You know what's really an "unpersoning"? Having no driver's license in a rural area. Losing the one ID you need to vote or pay taxes or open a bank account.

An official letter from the Kansas Division of Vehicles dated February 23, 2026, with a redacted recipient address. The letter notifies the recipient that due to the enactment of Senate Bill 244, all Kansas driver's licenses and IDs must reflect the holder's sex at birth. It states that the recipient's current credential will become invalid immediately upon the law's publication on February 26, 2026, with no grace period. The recipient is directed to surrender their current ID to receive a new one matching their sex assigned at birth. The document concludes with instructions on how to appeal the notice if received in error, along with contact information for the department.

Kansas is sending letters to trans people telling them that their licenses will be revoked as of tomorrow and that they risk arrest for driving on a suspended license.

This is pure cruelty.
