Congresswoman Maxine Waters made Bessent suffer during today’s hearing and I am here for it.

It’s Getting Worse. The Trump administration’s assault on the rest of us is intensifying.

"This is what you get after a decade of Trumpism’s ascendance: a young-activist base that has self-selected for the most amoral and psychotic political strivers, and has held them up as a professional ideal." www.thebulwark.com/p/its-gettin...

"They're saying this because they want to say that you are Antifa, that you are a terrorist. That they are allowed to come after you. Don't let them get away with this."

Today's Triad from @jvl.bsky.social is a chilling must-read: www.thebulwark.com/p/are-you-an...

8 reasons you should visit Portland right now, despite what you may be hearing All eyes have been on our city, which just so happens to be beautiful this time of year.

Appreciate the confirmation 😊... never like being too presumptuous when it comes to someone you "know" only via social media/media hits... meeting Murat in person (and just visiting Winnipeg, in general) would certainly clasify as bucket-list items for me, lol...

I very second this... I was a very casual Jets/hockey fan because my grandparents were from Winnipeg... but Murat, both as a writer and as a human (seemingly), helped me truly love the Jets and enjoy hockey... well, that and a slight crush on Adam Lowry...

Almost entirely due to financial and logisticstical reasons... we're a family of three adults, two kids, and three cats... unfortunately, that's not a unit of heartbeats that can cross borders real easily...

The lionization of Charlie Kirk genuinely proves the point about centrists and leading media figures. The man dehumanized women, minorities, transgendered people, Muslims, etc was building bridges by debating others on these views that all these people are less than human. What a great guy.

For everyone saying political violence has no place in this country…

Remember two Democratic legislators were shot in Minnesota just this year.

And America shrugged and moved on.

Losing my goddamned mind.

We can condemn political violence without valorizing a destructive, hateful bigot.

Pundits are focusing on Kirk’s willingness to debate people while studiously ignoring the people whose basic humanity he was willing to debate

(I have zero idea what the context of this post is, I just love the fact that a line from a song on Moon Colony Bloodbath is getting quoted...)

People do be real funny* like that sometimes...

*by "funny", of course, I mean real "ignorant fucking assholes"... gender perception/assumption is such a wild/fucked up thing...

How did the tech bro crowd, growing up on stories of sci-fi, transhumanism, virtual reality and limitless ability to modify one's body, "biohacking," etc. end up becoming so viscerally anti-transgender? Truly boggles my mind.

Yes.

Instead of choosing a petty hill to die on, choose a mountain of books to live with.

All the dudes with the most power in this country right now are the type of guys that you walk away from at parties

I think the reason why the heart in a blender song still gets a lotta streams in 2024 is because everyone feels like their heart is in a blender

If this is a difficult season for you I want you to know that the band that had a hit with the blender song in 1998 thinks you're alright

The louder a person is about being a “good Christian” and how everyone else is a sinner, the creepier they turn out to be. Like, every single time.

Lessons from Chappell Roan's boundary setting for standing against harassment There is a relevant lesson for all of us in Chappell Roan’s approach to setting boundaries with her ‘fans’

Hey, at least they’re giving the land a vote in their maps—finally, representation for dirt and trees!

Just a reminder 💚

It’s Appa!

Self impregnating organisms - Mary - give birth to genetic copies of themself, so Jesus must have transitioned. Just as Eve was probably XY chromos, given she was cloned from Adam’s rib. Which means she would have been banned from the 100m and called a man by GCs. Happy Christmas everybody 🏳️‍⚧️😊❄️🎄

When men rage, they blow and shoot things up and start wars.

When women rage, we create.

We knit, do embroidery and cross stitch. We create new things ... while we figure out how to fix the broken things.

Behold rage project #1

if you're cis:

if you think you know how your trans friends are doing, you don't.
if you think you have a finger on the pulse, you don't.

i've been out for 12 fucking years, transphobia has never been this direct, explicit, and targeted, with the intention that we (redacted). check in
