A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...

The pedophile protection party’s president is laundering right-wing conspiracy theories through the most corrupt DOJ in American history. Whenever the news turns bad, this creep reaches for one name: mine. So let’s make it crystal clear. My name has always been Ilhan Omar.

MINNESOTA: “I don’t think about myself. The youth are the most innocent. Anything you can do to save them is worth it.” ♥️ Endless stories attack the MN Somali-American community— but Ebro Ahmed🦸🏽‍♂️saves a bus 🚌 full of kids and stories mostly leave out that he’s Somali? 🤔

Truly INSANE for them to all double down on this but speaks to their male fragility and their need to circle the wagons to protect pedophiles

Trump: "Ramaswamy put up a very powerful Ad about a mother saying that her daughter, Acton, is a liar, and much worse. The Press is trying to get him to 'take down the Ad.' Frankly, anybody whose mother spoke about daughter that way would normally lead to the daughter being precluded from serving"

When Dems talk about the Ilhan Omar situation, they need to stop using language that implies that Omar might have done anything wrong. Trump is not "investigating" Omar. They are trying to denaturalize and deport a sitting Congressmember by scrutinizing decades old paperwork from when she was a kid

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

ICE has to be dismantled, with every single incident like this investigated and prosecuted.

Eric Umansky@ericumansky.bsky.social

Watch an ICE agent run down and then run over a man. The man was was then writhing on the ground, saying "You broke my leg! You broke my leg!" Agents didn't help him. And btw, the man wasn't the target of their operation.

This is such a fucked up loophole.

Abdul El-Sayed@abdulelsayed.bsky.social

The law isn’t helping. New York’s voluntary intoxication loophole makes it nearly impossible for survivors to seek justice if they drank or used substances prior to an assault. Because of this loophole, Jane Doe’s assailants may never be held accountable under the law.

Especially one named in the Epstein files

All American@blueskyairborne.bsky.social

There is no law or requirement in the United States that forces citizens to show respect or allegiance to any president, including one accused or convicted of a crime.

Trump died and got buried at Mar-Lago. A man went to the airport and said, "I need a ticket to go piss on Trump's grave." The agent said, "Yes, sir. Here's a ticket to Los Angeles." The guy said, "Los Angeles?! But Trump's buried in Florida!" The agent said, "Yes, sir, but the back of the line..."

So not only must universities host speakers who are hostile to their mission and members, but they've got to guarantee their safety while doing so? Kirk made a career off the Professor Watchlist, leading many academics to fear for their safety. Do they get to send TPUSA a bill for their troubles?

Glad folks are appalled by photos of the "phone booth" cage under an awning, but pls understand: This IG report is likely part of a cover-up. Amnesty Int'l interviewed detainees EIGHT MONTHS AGO who said the cage was half this size (couldn't stand up), had no awning, w feet chained to the bottom.

I can’t wait to never see or hear from this piece of shit ever again. Please be soon.

Weijia Jiang & Trump chatting it up at the White House Correspondents dinner. That’s it. That’s my entire post.

This is what is wrong with journalism today. They are STILL asking about a streamer who has never been an official policy maker or campaign manager for a candidate.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Abdul El-Sayed: "Weijia, with all due respect, this is the third time you've asked about a Twitch streamer ... their whole game is to make us fight culture wars so that we don't pay attention to the fact the president has made $2.2 billion ... "

Pretending the days after Sept. 11, 2001 were some kind of gauzy Hallmark special when we came together as a country is nauseating and ahistorical. The country went completely insane and has not recovered

Brandt Brickell reposted

He's right, it was a long time ago. I can't remember if I was working on campus here in Princeton signing students into classes or if I was heroically leading the recovery effort at Ground Zero, bravely digging through rubble with my bare hands. Time, am I right?

So this is a danger of AI I’ve been talking about privately. If you look at racist or reactionary pamphlets of the 20th century, they nearly always look awful because you had to convince an artist to illustrate your screed, a printer to print it, etc. These were natural filters. Now they’re gone.

The richest man owns X. The second and fourth richest men control Google. The third richest man owns The Washington Post. The sixth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the seventh richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

It’s so telling when they keep asking about Piker. Never has a republican been asked to denounce a right wing streamer when they have literally hired the piece of shit who runs Libs of TikTok whose hate campaigns have led to bomb threats sent to child hospitals.

Justin Baragona@justinbaragona.bsky.social

Abdul El-Sayed takes issue with Katy Tur wondering why he's keeping Hasan Piker "so close" and "not fully disassociate yourself with him," saying this is "why a lot of people get so frustrated about politics and political media, because it doesn’t actually speak to the challenges they face."

A child attending his first-ever live concert was brought on stage by British rock band IDLES in Belfast, Ireland. When asked to say one thing to his people, he shouted “Free Free Palestine.”

The Speaker of the House routinely deflects questions about the president who is in his own party by saying he hadn't heard that particular comment, but every single Democratic candidate is expected to denounce a Twitch streamer?

I rewatched Muppet Treasure Island last night and it hasn’t aged a day. It’s amazing and Tim Curry delivered an amazing performance.

Toss@stevenspoints.bsky.social

I really cannot think of a greater honor than to have the Muppets say this about you upon your passing
