To those who are anti-transgender, Chiitan isn't asking you to understand transgender people.
I ask that you quietly watch over us.

This is also from Fate/Zero's AI closed captions on Crunchyroll, and I didn't wanna post from the same series twice, but imagine comically fucking up the iconic 🎵A-NI-PLEX🎵 jingle.

The Trump admin has paused all immigration and naturalization processes for people from one of the 19 travel ban countries; including Cuba and Venezuela.

Even people who fully passed the citizenship exam are having their cases put on hold, just inches from the finish line.

Broke: DOGE is dead

Woke: DOGE was specifically constructed in a way to avoid accountability partially by zombifying the USDS which still exists as an entity

Bespoke: Dead or not, there needs to be a blue ribbon committee and a massive internal cybersecurity review to root out all the damage.

What a terrible day to know how to read

People NEED to understand the evil of Prosperity Gospel and how it underpins the right-wing "Christianity"

They believe that God will reward you in this life (not just Heaven) with riches and good health for being Holy. And the inverse is also true - if you're sick or poor, that's God's punishment.

A classic example of the inversions of settler colonialism: the settler becomes the native and the Indigenous person becomes an outsider on their own land.

Email #3 is direct correspondence between Jeffrey Epstein and Michael Wolff. From: Sent: To: Subject: Michael Wolff [ 12/16/2015 4:26:32 PM jeffrey E. [jeevacation@gmail.com] Re: Heads up Importance: High I think you should let him hang himself. If he says he hasn't been on the plane or to the house, then that gives you a valuable PR and political currency. You can hang him in a way that potentially generates a positive benefit for you, or, if it really looks like he could win, you could save him, generating a debt. Of course, it is possible that, when asked, he'll say Jeffrey is a great guy and has gotten a raw deal and is a victim of political correctness, which is to be outlawed in a Trump regime.

🚨BREAKING:
2015 email shows journalist Michael Wolff advising Jeffrey Epstein on how to handle Donald Trump.

“You can hang him in a way that generates a benefit for you… or save him, generating a debt.”

Epstein’s reply: “What do you think it should be?”

Democrats reveal whistleblower details of Ghislaine Maxwell prison ‘luxuries’ In a letter to the president, House Democrats say Maxwell’s treatment as she prepares a clemency request makes the convicted sex offender look like a “guest at a Trump hotel.”

"Maxwell has received custom meals personally delivered to her cell, after-hours time in a private exercise area, access to a service puppy, and private meetings with visitors arranged by the warden, complete with snacks. Visitors were allowed to bring computers..."

Reminder that, unless a creative freelancer has a spouse with a day job that offers health insurance, they likely have an ACA plan. And with the hits to creative industries the past few years, I'm guessing many qualify for subsidies.

Related reminder that comic creators are freelancers.

it is pretty darkly funny seeing posts like URGENT!!!! it is SUNDAY EVENING you must PUT DOWN YOUR DINNER and call your senator IMMEDIATELY to politely request they not press the big button marked "fuck you". this will not actually stop them from pressing the fuck you button. functioning democracy

Charlie Brown with Lucy holding the football. It says we'll vote on the ACA subsidies in December

look I know being an engaged citizen IS the work of democracy but it is also the work of elected officials not to create situations where everyone has to be mobilized all the time to prevent them from allowing some kind of Dickensian horror on a Sunday night while you're in between loads of laundry

It was harder getting endorsements for Zohran Mamdani from Democrats than them caving to Republicans to mutually strip us of healthcare

Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market.

This also applies to health insurance. It’s important we discuss the details of what’s happening, but you have to bear in mind that the man literally does not know what health insurance is.

If someone is warning you about fascism and they’re on Substack they’re asking you to do something they’re not willing to do.

every time someone reminds me that lina khan is only 36 i am a) mad that i have not yet been the chair of the federal trade commission and b) so happy that she's going to be around to antagonize the worst people on earth for several decades

finance guys on twitter are like "can't believe zohran hired lina khan. she wants to make it illegal to bundle memecoin futures into junk stocks and sell them to public worker pension plans. the public won't stand for it."

This is how it looked on the ballot.
Clear and easy to understand.

One other thing that's unusual about this election is that Mamdani really, really hated his political opponent and wanted him to lose. That's also incredibly rare on the left of American politics, if you think about it.
