Sometimes we all come together as a nation to hate Strom Thurmond and I love that for us.

YouTube video by Associated Press LIVE: Cory Booker speaks on the Senate floor

A Black man just beat the record for the longest filibuster, defeating the record previously held by a man who filibustered the literal Civil Rights Act.

As the time ticked over, Cory Booker announced he did it not out of hatred for who he opposed, but out of love for those who supported him.

Cory Booker Just Gave The Longest Speech In The History of The US Senate Only two men have spoken on the floor of the U.S. Senate...

In his 1957 filibuster, Strom Thurmond said "Negroes ... are not so well qualified to vote as are the white people.”

A Black senator just broke the record Thurmond set with that speech.

My therapist’s quote of the day: “All of my thinking comes out of my mouth”

They have been publishing articles like this for two decades: "Gee willikers, what Republicans do with power doesn't match their rhetoric at all!"

I cackled

We’ll just hold hands through this chaos

True.

Without public knowledge, Elon Musk is serving as a “special government employee” under President Donald Trump, with access to sensitive information (including your SSN) and broad authority granted by Trump.

Stevie is Canadian! Still crappy shipping overseas i bet tho

Wait people are seriously saying that!? Yikes to them!

Their faith lets them worship power while they’re offended by mercy. It’s not Christianity they’re practicing.

Transgender athletes’ rights was opposed by those who viewed female athletes as undeserving, study finds

The researchers also found that adherence to traditional standards of femininity—such as prioritizing thinness and attractiveness—was a strong predictor of opposition to transgender athlete inclusion. For instance, respondents who endorsed the idea that women should be thin or that women’s muscles were less attractive were less supportive of transgender athletes competing in alignment with their gender identity.

Negative attitudes toward homosexuality were another powerful predictor of opposition to transgender athletes’ rights. Participants who expressed homophobic views, such as agreeing with statements like “I would be disappointed if I found out my child was homosexual,” were significantly more likely to support sex testing and oppose transgender inclusion.

You spend years platforming and agreeing with Nazis and the next thing you know people are not charitably interpreting a hand gesture

I’m glad i get to still see your outdoor pics!

Today’s quote from my therapist: “Look! I made it 38 minutes in without mentioning the patriarchy! Go me!”

The meme I didn't know I needed

Trump Picks Stanford Physician Dr. Jay Bhattacharya to Head N.I.H. As the director of the National Institutes of Health, Dr. Jay Bhattacharya would oversee the world’s premier medical research agency, with a $47 billion budget and 27 separate institutes and centers.

Please google Great Barrington Declaration. If it had been implemented, millions more people would have died at the start of the pandemic. Now, one of its architects will lead the National Institutes of Health (if confirmed), the largest funder of biomedical research in the world.

A rather ableist take.

Oh I’m so excited!
