the only counterargument anyone seems to have is "he didn't know what it meant" which shows - in my humble opinion - poor judgment that's disqualifying for a senator on its own! even if it were true! which we all immediately sensed it wasn't and which this seems to prove pretty unequivocally!

This is the thing about bathroom bans targeting trans people - assault is already a crime! Indecent exposure is already a crime! And laws that protect trans people don't suddenly make them legal

Dwight: Yes I shouted “fire!”. I shouted many things! I also shouted instructions on how to get out of the building, so you can imagine my frustration as safety officer when nobody would heed of what— heeded— Michael: Hed. Hedded Dwight: When no one hedded— Michael: Take hedded of. Dwight: N-no one would take hedded of my instructions. Michael: Heed. Heed. Dwight: So, you— Michael: Take heed of. Dwight: And, well, I don't see my coworkers— Michael: Take heed of. Dwight: Hee-heeding this right now.

PLEASE take this in the spirit it’s intended, which is laughing *with*, not dunking on.

Let me be clear: I’m glad Kristi Noem was fired. But we still have to abolish ICE.

If we let both of our countries major parties become places where Nazism in *any* form is excused then we are really fucked

As dawn breaks, a small chest full of ice and exotic fish appears on the wizard's doorstep. It's for the little cat.

The wizard sleeps gently. The little cat hisses at a owl out the kitchen window.

Happy snoozes for #AardvarkWeek 💤 Our sweet girl Tilli is off on a dreamland adventure, and yes, that little tongue is still hard at work! 💕 Even in her sleep, it looks like she’s slurping up imaginary termites.

The question is always "what if a kid is wrongfully transitioned" and never "what if a trans kid is denied the ability to transition and endures years of excruciating dysphoria and has to have multiple surgeries later in life to fix the issues caused by going through the wrong puberty."

Where breakthroughs are concerned, Hattie is small but indefatigable.

The little cat steps on the wizard's face, waking him up. He goes to make waffles with cloudberry jam and put some fish out for the little cat. As he makes tea, the air fills with the smell of beeswax. As he eats, he reads the spellbooks that were delivered from magic interlibrary loan.

The wizard sleeps deeply. In the distance, frogs sing.

Oh BRAVO. 👏👏👏

It’s actually FEWER Misérables

I know it’s only Tuesday but yaawwwwnnn

The little cat steps on the wizard's head, waking him up. He goes to make waffles with passionfruit jam and put some fish out for the little cat. As he makes tea, the air fills with the smell of parchment. The wizard reads the new issue of Magic-Users Weekly as he eats his breakfast.

STRENGTH CRUSHES ENEMIES! DO YOU NEED TO ASK FOR HELP?

The wizard rescues the little cat's mouse toy from under the stove.

So with all that said, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social @mayor.nyc.gov : was the policy document a lie? If you meant it, if we can trust your word, then you need to show trans New Yorkers what you are doing to put your words into action. Show us you are who we elected. You owe that to us.

There is no reason that @newyorkstateag.bsky.social shouldn't have been in a courtroom a full WEEK ago, putting this clear and effective plan into action. NYU Langone violated the NYS Constitution, state and city laws. There is no reason we should not be getting updates on this like we did on SNOW 🧵

The wizard reads a poem about birds.

The little cat steps on the wizard's ear, waking him up. He goes to make waffles with blackcurrant jam and put some fish out for the little cat. As he makes tea, the air fills with the smell of elm bark. After breakfast, he takes in the empty trash can.

Once, a stranger stopped me on the street corner as I was heading to a protest, having seen my sign. They asked where it was and said they’d try to make it later. (I was getting lunch first.)

They did make it and actually found and thanked me for the info I’d given.

I was SO proud of them.

Senator Kim's Statement on Trump's Strikes on Iran Americans don't want to go to war with Iran. By launching strikes, President Trump has made the same dangerous and foolish decision President Bush did a generation ago. He put Americans in harm's way without clearly showing there's an imminent threat to our national security. He put the Iranian people in harm's way by calling on them to rise up without a broad coalition of partners to assist in their protection. And Trump once again started a cycle of violence that has already escalated and could spiral out of control. This is unacceptable. The Senate should vote on Senator Kaine's War Powers Resolution immediately. I stand ready to do so today. Andy Kim Senator

With alt text, which government accounts have a responsibility to provide.

When there are no consequences for the last bad thing, you'll get a next worse thing.

The wizard sleeps calmly. Outside, an owl calls out.

here's my proposed platform for dems in 2026:
1. we do not throw trans people under the bus
2. we do not throw red states under the bus
3. WE DO NOT THROW ANYBODY UNDER THE FUCKIN BUS WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU
4. war crimes tribunals

A broader takeaway I think is nobody should be allowed to be so rich that being told no, or being held accountable, represents such a moral injury to that person's psyche that they feel like their only recourse is to burn the world down.
