YouTube video by LastWeekTonight Bari Weiss: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO)

This is such a thorough take down of Bari Weiss and the vapid shill she is for oligarch billionaires. He especially shreds the Free Press over it's coverage of trans issues and the so called whistleblower Jamie Reed.

"Fuck ICE" is a patriotic sentiment. Perhaps the most patriotic in this moment.

MAGA thinks the majority will sit there and just accept masked, armed ICE agents to continue terrorizing their streets.

They are wrong.

Dangerous, desperate overreach by a weakened Administration.

I'm never get over the fact that this administration's war on trans people is being carried out with the pretext of "protecting women and girls" while the president is a pedophile rapist.

Republicans just voted to kill their base. They don't care because they had one assignment: placate the billionaire donors.

It's the rest of us vs. the oligarchy.

The majority vs. the 1%

We need fighters willing to stand up and lead on this.

LA DODGERS just now:

“This morning, ICE agents came to Dodger Stadium and requested permission to access the parking lots. They were denied entry to the grounds by the organization. Tonight’s game will be played as scheduled.”

Right on, Dodgers!
More of this, please.

Good job being a useful pick me for Fox News, Sarah.

I need y'all to understand what the NYT, Dem donors, and centrists are doing here. They're pushing the narrative that trans people went too far and we deserve what is happening to us.

It's pure victim blaming and it's not done yet, there's a Confessore piece in the works with the same framing.

Democrats have largely held solid on transgender rights in recent years in terms of actual votes taken.

There is a hugely financed movement trying to get them to stop, trying to build pillars to allow them to throw us under the bus.

Interviews like this from Sarah McBride are in service to that.

It isn’t lost on me that the suspect in the assassination of one of the most prominent women in Minnesota politics had a target list with abortion providers and advocates. Misogyny is deadly. My heart is with the victims, their families, and everyone affected.

It is bizarre the way people with guns, bulletproof vests, riot shields, tanks, and other military gear act like rocks are an equal threat. It’s madness! If you are scared of rocks and think the punishment for having them thrown at you should be death, you shouldn’t be in law enforcement!

Let’s be clear: Israel, an occupier, has no authority under international law to board or divert the Madleen.

This is a hijacking, plain and simple. A hijacking of a UK-registered ship, with multiple *European* citizens on board.

Does the EU or UK government have anything to say? Anything??

The police don’t protect people. The police protect power. That’s why we didn’t want to militarize them.

I’m sick of seeing this senator on my timeline.

It's funny how when you ask them why they think Pope Francis was "too woke" and request specific examples, they always wound up describing Christ's teachings without a hint of self-awareness.

Thank you.

I will cackle and tap-dance when Gavin Newsom fucks up his presidential run.

You've read the stories about Gavin Newsom throwing transgender people under the bus in sports, prisons, and gender affirming care for trans youth.

Now watch the video and listen.

It's as bad as it sounds. He betrayed trans people and threw us under a bus driven by Charlie fucking Kirk.

Whomever is advising the Democrats right now is criminally bad at their job. The notion that they can meme their way out of fascism is truly incredible.

You can fuckkkkkkk off Josh

Isn’t it interesting how PSA stopped discussing lgbtq issues?

If being cisgender is so natural, why do you have to maintain its stronghold on the culture and the world? If it’s so natural, why must it constantly be enforced? Why are you so threatened?

Unless…

Nazis: "that's a nazi salute"

Historians: "that's a nazi salute"

Average person: "that's a nazi salute"

The Media: "Elon Musk makes odd gesture throwing his heart to the crowd."

“Fascism, it’s always about using nationalism, and the nation, as a bludgeon to generate support for death policies, on behalf of death governments. For violence and repression and exploitation, internationalism is the antidote, always.” —Robin D. G. Kelley

I just ran into the main plaintiff and their family in the hallway of the Supreme Court in the skrimetti case today, and we all hugged and now I’m in tears in the press room.

I thanked them profusely.

Trans people deserve equal protection. We deserve to live like anyone else.

listening to all these cis people argue over trans people makes me even more thankful that chase strangio is there to argue for us today

The Supreme Court case tomorrow is fundamentally not about gender affirming care, it's about whether or not trans people have any protections under the 14th amendment. A loss in this case would greenlight a torrent of explicitly discriminatory legislation without much, if any judicial recourse.
