Hi, it’s me, Stan.

Forever reminder that Transphobia is stupid, psuedo science akin to eugenics and ultimately little actual concern for Women's sports or Women

Fuzzy memories and hard facts: An SC accuser's claims against Epstein, Trump examined An alleged victim of Jeffrey Epstein gave FBI agents true accounts of her time growing up in SC. Claims she made about Donald Trump remain unsubstantiated.

I get yelled at for saying this but for many hundreds of years people went to university not to get diplomas or be employable but because immersion in the humanities was considered foundational to a good life, and school must return to its original purpose: the joy of learning.

Seriously, this is so hilariously perfect. Claim to protect cisgender women by forcing them to pay for genetic tests because transphobes *can’t actually tell* who is assigned female at birth; create MORE barriers; and also throw a shit fit when tests come back and transphobes don’t like the answers.

Fox ran older footage but labeled it as happening Saturday.

Biden got the nomination in 2020 not just because of Clyburn. He got it because a half dozen Black Boomers told me that Biden was the kind of white man who "stood behind a Black man for eight years and supported him."

I didn't vote for Biden in the primary, but for a Jim Crow survivor, that's huge.

He's lost my primary vote as well, but I'm Very Online, have a graduate degree, and am pretty politically engaged.

My elders are high propensity voters. They were shaped by Jim Crow and the CRM. Candidates who aren't Black & show up with comfort at Black events and Black churches are HUGE for them.

Brain cleanser:

I don’t mean to ruin your Saturday but you need to remember that this bogus war is a distraction from the Trump-Epstein Files™️ at least as much as it’s its own exercise in withering hatred and incompetence.

Amen, brother!

Okie dokie. What we gonna do about it?

This is rhetorical. Get ready to fight. ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼✊🏻

The administration plans to use claims that "China interfered in the 2020 election as a basis to declare a national emergency that would unlock extraordinary presidential power over voting.”

The premise, it almost goes without saying, is a total lie. trib.al/LmNKGxR

“I’m not learning your damn language.” I want to open-palm slap this man so badly.

“Shield of the Americas” I’m convinced Stephen Miller is a Marvel villain come to life.

if you gave amtrak 5% of the military budget every year it would have received more money in two years than it has in its entire existence up to that point

Had to doublecheck the date on this

Ruben Ray Martinez: Footage shows US citizen shot by ICE agent in Texas traffic stop The Department of Homeland Security did not disclose Martinez was shot by one of its agents until almost a year later.

Newly released footage shows an ICE agent killing Rubin Ray Martinez, 23, in his car in Texas.

"He was shot at point-blank range through his side window by an ICE agent who was in no danger."

We live in a country where an alcoholic from Fox News runs our military, a former heroin addict is in charge of our health, and they both report to a convicted felon.

What a time to be alive.

The president, breathing heavily and caked with makeup, is incoherently blaming Iran for the October 7 attacks by Hamas

The killing of Iranian children during an illegal war is an impeachable offense (not to mention a grave crime) and Congress should really act like it.

15 Republicans in the Senate could end this nightmare before it somehow gets even worse.

Where are the interviews with military historians about whether Trump’s military actually has capacity to do even half the things he’s promising?

ICE grabs them if they turn up for the interviews, and if they don't. This is called a Catch 22 situation.

This. In fact MOST of the white military dudes I knew/know.

The economic story just changed dramatically.

Payrolls fell -92k in Feb. Jan growth was revised down by -4k to +126k. And Dec revisions subtracted -64k to -17k.

Unemployment rate up a tick to 4.4%.

Recession questions are back on the menu

Repeated phrase 6x: THE SAVE ACT IS A POLL TAX MAKING PEOPLE BUY NEW IDS? THAT'S JUST A POLL TAX WIRH NEW PACKAGIng LDF

#SaveActTaxesVoters

🧵The 24th Amendment, passed in 1964, prevents the use of a poll tax to prevent voting. The SAVE Act in all its various forms will require proof of citizenship for voter registration, and acquiring a birth certificate or passport for this costs $.

Non-citizens voting in federal elections is already illegal and extremely rare.

So what’s the SAVE Act really about?

Forcing millions of citizens to dig up passports or birth certificates just to register to vote.

Solve a fake problem. Create real barriers. #SaveActTaxesVoters
