someone went up to sarah mcbride in front of the u.s. congress, hurled her deadname at her loudly and called her a pedophile repeatedly, posted video of the exchange to x, and it is now going wildly viral

i will not share the video

but if youโ€™re not speaking up about this, youโ€™re hurting yourself

Hear me out, what if AI is a good thing for political discourse. Anytime your crazy uncle starts ranting, have him โ€œtalk to grok about thatโ€. Get it out of his system and he comes back and talks about family stuff.

"A Person With Parents": How Sarah McBride and her family stay strong in the face of transphobia - LGBTQ Nation Sarah McBride watched her parents undergo a "beautiful transformation" after learning what it means to be trans. Now she hopes the country can do the same.

Sally and David always agreed that the first rule of parenting is unconditional love. So when their then-21-year-old daughter told them she was trans, there was no question they would figure out how to support her. But that didnโ€™t make it easy.

Nearly a million New Yorkers ready to flee NYC if Mamdani becomes mayor โ€” possibly igniting largest exodus in history: poll Hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers are prepared to bolt from the Big Apple if socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani wins Tuesdayโ€™s mayoral race โ€” potentially setting the stage for the largest populaโ€ฆ

Can someone explain this to me? whatโ€™s so scary? Higher taxes and rent controls sure, but is that gonna make you run in fear? I donโ€™t understand this.

Iโ€™ve lived through this before. While Iโ€™m sure thereโ€™s a long future ahead for AI and the value created, this is truly an irrational bubble that will have to deflate at some point.

Thank you for this, I sometimes fit in rooms where a buzz words are flying around and I appreciate how you made simple what is a fairly straightforward concept

Why arenโ€™t more democrats just talking about this administrationโ€™s incompetence. Speaking to republicans: if you agree with his policy choices, why is he so utterly incompetent at implementing them. Trump the screwup.

reading a book about china. apparently the government there has sent federal forces into cities, taken shares of major private enterprises, slapped tariffs on industries, and pressured media outlets to fire people they politically disagreed with. didnโ€™t know this.

We are one of our darkest days. I cannot for the life of me understand how this gets the FCC chair to threaten ABC's licenses while quietly ignoring a Fox anchor saying that homeless people should be killed. EVERYTHING people feared is coming true.

My wife said she feels bad for Kirkโ€™s kids.
I said me too, wait until they get old enough to read the things he said and find out that their dad was a giant piece of shit.
My wife said thatโ€™s not what I meant.
I said I know.

RFK Jr. rolled out that old chestnut again about how healthy Americans were in the 60โ€™s, so hereโ€™s a fact check.

In 1965:

-42% of American adults smoked; itโ€™s 11% now.

-The infant morality rate was 24.7/1000; itโ€™s 5.6/1000 now.

-Overall life expectancy was 70 years; it's about 77 years now.

Forget the haters: DEI & pro-LGBTQ+ policies are good for business, new study shows - LGBTQ Nation The president and right-wingers have railed against it, but diversity helps companies retain customers and employees.

This new research by HRC and Whistle Stop Capital analyzes nearly two decades of CEI and corporate data, revealing that the longer a large company has had LGBTQ+ inclusive policies in place, the stronger its financial results.

This video is disgusting. First, the premise that people of the time thought slavery was โ€œno big dealโ€ is patently false, many people opposed slavery through history. Secondly, we can learn and grow as humans. Lastly, the idea that the binary choice was be enslaved or be killed is repulsive.
