If accurate, it appears that around a thousand folks came out for a Bernie/el-Sayed rally in Alpena, Michigan today. If you know NoMI, then you know that this is an OUTSTANDING number. Maybe there's hope for my home region yet.

So much to say about Brazil, not least of which is the role that Erika Hilton, a Black trans leader and most voted woman politician in Brazil, played in mobilizing folks for Lula. She was behind the critical, concrete, economic promise of shorter work-week. theprint.in/feature/erik...

I live in a rural town and, like, I don't know how to tell you this, but the girls play on the boys team and vice versa all the time because otherwise we don't have enough players for a game and it's literally always fine so stop being weirdos about kids sports and just let trans kids play.

Anti-trans Democrats are spreading poison when we can least afford it, during elections in this ongoing fascist takeover. As a strategy, it’s a recipe for failure. As a moral stand, it’s reprehensible. PS I’m the father of young trans woman and I’ll never forgive anyone who makes her life harder.

Eight years since we dreamed it up, 2 1/2 since we recorded our pilot. Sometimes a passion project takes seemingly forever, but comes along exactly when you need it. Today is the day, folks. Available wherever you get your podcasts. It is midnight in America, and you are listening to Midnight Radio.

Conservative parents are now lamenting that the anti-trans ad blitz is teaching their children that transgender people exist. "We're practically talking the very things we don't want into existence." Read the reddit post and our story on it here. Subscribe to support our journalism.

There's certainly a bad history of adult men in girls' locker rooms. Those men were/are cis, and usually answer to "coach"

"Let golf be elitist" is so deeply classist and racist -- you don't get to play with us, this is our game. It's already an incredibly difficult game to get into with costs and equipment. He wants to make that worse because he thinks he and his friends are better than you.

GM just announced the biggest stock buyback in automotive industry history. Instead of investing in their workers or new product lines, GM executives are robbing from the future to pay themselves and their shareholders today. Stock buybacks should be illegal.

holy smokes, conan strikes up a chat with a random lady on the subway and she immediately starts riffing on his level, no problem.

East Potomac costs $42 to play and hosts thousands of people each year. A lot of the players are beginners. A lot of them don't have that much money. A lot of them are black. This is the course Donald Trump has decided shouldn't exist, and in the past, he's been fairly explicit about why not

It's far too early to say we held through the storm. But we've held this long, and I am incredibly proud of every single member of my community who refused to return to the closet, go stealth, or become a quisling.

I don't know, man. Lord only knows what happens when you call that number...

A trio of new polls could spell disaster for the GOP in the 2026 midterms over their anti-trans ad obsession. Could we be looking at a wave election for democrats fueled, not suppressed, by Republican anti-trans ads? We examine the polls in our latest piece. Subscribe to support our journalism.

David Axelrod and David Brooks clutching their pearls because El-Sayed didn’t roll over for a racist is such a perfect example of America’s white guy politics that it would sound made up if you put it in a novel

No matter your gender, you have every right to love and to be loved in return🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 Expressing that love should never be hindered or questioned. Such a basic human experience has somehow become overly complicated. Let’s come together and restore a world where love can be shown openly and joyfully.

Today is FOC for HELLO DARKNESS VOL. 6, collecting the "Sunday" story by @ryannorth.ca and @giadabelviso.bsky.social Repent and pre-order as Sister Amanda, devoted bride of Christ, has her faith tested when she’s caught in an endless time loop. Will murder be the only way to achieve salvation?

What we really shouldn’t be doing is turning this into a “Jalen Hurts is so tough” story

PSA

If you have not seen the absolute destruction of Pac Money Tommy (former Josh Hawley staffer), getting absolutely fucking wrecked by El-Sayed while trying to heckle him, you have not seen Shakespeare the way it was meant to be performed. A master class in mic skills. "Answer the question, Tommy."

there is nothing more beautiful than seeing a trans woman shed the dread and fucking Be and they want to kill us. because they're weird apocalyptic freaks who think that doomsday is inevitable  fuck them, blow a trans girl. you're worth the honor

Why in fuck’s name does anyone care about what ginger gnome and all-around pud Dave Portnoy has to say about anything, let alone a candidate for senate in Michigan?

If you would try to win by abandoning trans people (or any targeted group) you can save this “we need to win” talk; there is no “we.” I am about solidarity, and you have chosen anti-solidarity. You are not any “we” I recognize. You are the enemy I’m trying to defeat. Beating you is how my “we” wins.

It's been said before and I'll say it again: The democrat who stands up and says "I'm going to see to it that everyone in Trump's administration is charged and punished" would sail to a presidential victory on pettiness alone.

wait Petey Halpin hit a playoff bomb??? seriously what deal with the devil do these fuckers have
