@schumer.senate.gov if deep red NC is tired of quisling Democrats, can you imagine how motivated we are in NY to show Vichy Dems the boot

Can't wait the the years until it's your turn to be voted out

Something tells me this line ain't gonna play well with his base

All driven by Christian love

Christianity is such a bleak and dismal faith

This spells out what we've always known about institutional and community contempt for trans people in death, and elaborates on how that is intensified by anti-Blackness and transmisogyny.

Transmisogynoir means Black trans women's deaths are dismissed, lied about, and not investigated.

Scouting America says transgender kids are still welcome after Pete Hegseth claimed they weren’t "We have transgender people in our program, and we’ll have transgender people in our program going forward,” the group's CEO, Roger Krone, said.

Scouting America wastes no time in pushing back on SecDef Hegseth's claims that it agreed to limit membership based on assigned sex: "We have transgender people in our program, and we’ll have transgender people in our program going forward,” said CEO Roger Krone.

The job of the NYT opinion page is to ask questions that lead to as much suffering for trans people as possible

Senior U.S. officials have become increasingly pessimistic that any opposition figure backed by Washington would realistically be able to control the country.-Reuters

Maybe because it's an administration of people with insufficient social skills to get laid?

Spoiler Alert:

Turns out that they really don't believe in anything except the destruction of people who hurt their fee-fees

4/ Think about that choice. Two options: follow basic transparency rules or stop running political ads altogether. Trillion dollar companies chose to disappear rather than show you who is paying to shape your vote. That is not a business decision. That is a confession.

Draft-dodging chicken-hawks love to talk tough (from their fancy, gold-plated beach resorts). But they have NO CLUE what war is really about.

We need a War Powers vote NOW.

You deserve to know who wants to send your kids to war to fight for Trump's lies.

I think if I'd gotten away with attempting a coup, suffered no consequences for it, then won an election four years later, got away with executing citizens in the streets and foreigners in boats, and successfully abducted a head of state, I too might think I could just bomb my way to regime change

All of these so-called "centrists" do

Strong Tropic Thunder vibes

Netanyahu Calls Iran Strikes Necessary To Prevent War He Just Started

Netanyahu Calls Iran Strikes Necessary To Prevent War He Just Started

Back then we just called it "Christianity"

Christianity is one of the worst ideas humans ever came up with

It twists people into angry little instruments of hatred and loathing. It's the proximal cause of the majority of unnecessary suffering in the West

I will never understand why decent people continue to give their money and time to it

Next up, compulsory pink triangles

Deconfliction is so cringe

I mean, you're on the list.

Stop giving arsonists matches and then fundraising off the crisis. Act like a Senator at the hinge point of history

Good question! Also, while we're at it...

Why do Democrats keep voting for trump nominees? Why are Democratic leaders like @schumer.senate.gov singularly ineffective? Why do Democrats keep helping Republicans punch down in trans people?

So many questions that seem weirdly interconnected

And yet, inexplicably, it's Democrats calling for accountability and Republicans trying to cover up the crimes

All part of the razzle-dazzle I guess

When I worked for State and County government, receiving bribes was a crime.

Why is this being framed as an ethical conflict and not egregious corruption and rampant criminality?

We should stop sugarcoating this. It makes it harder to correct

The @nytimes.com has been treating journalistic ethics like a contagious disease since before the angry mango descended the escalator

Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a nearly blind refugee, was found dead after Border Patrol abandoned him miles away from his home and without notifying his family or attorney.

This is absolutely horrifying — and completely preventable. There must be a full investigation immediately.
