When I say I love Cheesecake Factory, I mean this cat who was found malnourished and wandering through a Bay Area mall parking lot. Cheesecake Factory has since been rescued and nursed back to health. He's now healthy, vaxxed, & sweet, but still needs a loving home

i am inviting anyone from a legacy media organization to explain to me why the house judiciary dems report on trump’s epstein’s ties and multiple allegations of rape isn’t worthy of extensively reporting on. i’m serious. i want to understand.
The elections are on next Tuesday, and so much is at stake, including the soul of the Democratic Party when it comes to transgender people.
I am asking you to leave a very small number of races blank in which a Democrat has embraced extreme anti-trans hate.
I make my case here.
A fascist is a fascist, no matter what they call themselves. To vunerable people, a party affiliation means nothing.
This thinking is how Republicans voted Trump.
If you donated to Josh Turek without realizing he was running on a federally funded trans healthcare coverage ban, you can request a refund of your donation here: help.actblue.com/hc/en-us/art...
This is where "it's just trans sports bans" leads you, Democrats supporting overtly genocidal policies that would kill tens of thousands of trans people. But at least we'll be marched into the camps by someone in blue, right?
Josh Turek of Iowa, Democrat, comes out with one of the worst anti-trans ads yet.
Not only is it an anti-sports ad, it proposes a ban on federal funding for gender affirming care. That would hit all medicaid and medicare patients, and any ACA federally-subsidized plans as well.
Horrific.
NEW: A woman featured in a Republican attack ad accusing a Democrat of being “dangerous” for children actually PLEADED GUILTY TO CHILD ENDANGERMENT after driving drunk with her own kids in the car, per the Washington Post.
There are a couple of out LBGTQ+ kids in my kids middle school class, and no one but some MAGA parents cares. That would have been impossible when I was a kid
Cherise Doyley was in her 12th hour of contractions at the hospital when a tablet was brought to her bedside.
On the screen was a Zoom call with a judge and several lawyers and doctors.
She was in court, a nurse told her. The reason? For failing to agree to a C-section.

Trans rights are human rights.
This was the right call and will help protect essential healthcare for our trans siblings behind the wall.
We must continue to fight against the Trump Administration's relentless attacks on the LGBTQ+ community.

Israeli settlers, all men, brutally attacked a US journalist, a woman, in an attempted lynching. The Israeli military provided the attackers with cover using tear gas and machine gun fire. Palestinians intervened to rescue her from being beaten to death.
🔥 “You voted to cover up the evidence even though you knew 14-year-old girls had been raped because Donald Trump told you to.”
Sen. @ossoff.bsky.social savages Mike Collins to his face on the debate stage
Going forward, our own gvt cannot give contracts to a company like this. Imagine he abandons astronauts, demanding more money. Shuts off internet to our troops because the enemy bribed him
Ukrainian presidential advisor Serhiy Beskrestnov confirms Elon Musk's Space X crippled Ukrainian capabilities last night.
In other words, the US deliberately sabotaged European defence operations mid-mission.
Every country in the world should move away from buying American hardware ASAP.
QUESTION OF THE DAY:
This sounds like a joke question, but it isn’t.
If it doesn’t apply to you, fine. But it’s a serious question with different levels of meaning. And I am genuinely curious.
When did you first realize you were weird?
🚨 WOW: WSJ reports Ken Paxton partied in a luxury Dubai high-rise with 2 FUGITIVES, Anosh Ahmed and Sameer Suhail, facing fed charges over an alleged $15 MILLION hospital embezzlement scheme — alongside his gf (not his wife).
Ahmed donated $190K to Paxton, including $25K AFTER his indictment.
Some ~personal~ news:
After five years, I have been laid off from @the-independent.com. I am grateful for the time I have had there. With that in mind, I am absolutely looking for new work opportunities, especially ahead if the midterms. My email is EMGarcia2009@gmail.com. My signal is emgarcia.85
Just the president urging Americans to take matters into their own hands to “fight back” against a small community of immigrants in their midst. No big deal.
Trump tries to start a race war: "The once Great State of Minnesota is being taken over by Somali Immigrants ... The Somalians should not be allowed to get away with what they are doing. They view you as weak and stupid people. Fight back Minnesota, fight back!"
The government doesn’t track how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens. So ProPublica did.
We’ve tallied more than 500 Americans held against their will in warrantless arrests and detentions during President Trump’s second term.
Arizona and Virginia, both of which are governed by Democrats, are ending Medicaid coverage of care for trans youth, Transitics has learned.
The bans, which go into effect on October 13th, mark the most significant Democratic capitulation to Trump's anti-trans demands yet.
Cowards.
