The people who want trans sports bans also think women belong in the kitchen.

American news media is completely compromised.

AOC: "What the Trump administration is doing in targeting trans people is to get everyone on board with supporting defunding their own civil rights ... understand that when they attack trans girls in sports, they're also attacking all women's ability to stand up against their abusers"

washington dc is not trump’s personal property and must be given statehood to prevent this kind of abuse in the future

the other thing is that conservatives resolutely do not see the purpose of education as providing social mobility but as reifying and deepening existing inequalities of status. they are as hostile to low income students getting admission to elite institutions as they are black ones.

Dems aren't nearly left enough. It has been shown time and time again that when democrats stand up for working class people with ideas like public healthcare, trans rights, anti-corruption, and democratic ideals they win. Get with the program!

This would be a de facto racial quota, mandating that no policy can alter the racial demographics of a given school bsky.app/profile/mike...

SCOTUS making its first move to go after race-neutral high school admissions standards:

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: an administration (and its supporters) who believe that they are not limited by the rule of law have no moral or philosophical claim to the protection of the rule of law. “The law is whatever we say it is” warrants the same in response.

This is clearly an intimidation attempt by the corrupt trump regime. They're targeting Omar because she's critical of trump, brown, and a woman. Their hate and depravity know no bounds and we are in despate need of government reform. apnews.com/article/ilha...

If you understand that political antisemitism was not just the hatred of the Jew qua Jew, but an entire worldview in which the Jew stands in for border-crossing cosmopolitan ideologies that threaten the nation-state, then you understand why the Israeli right had to reinvent it from first principles.

Happy indigenous peoples day!

New working paper: the Norwegian wealth tax was a huge success. The "exodus" of wealthy people never happened (less than 100 individuals left). Tax revenue increased by 71.5%. No changes in business activity or investment. www.nber.org/papers/w35854

The president of the United States is inciting a fucking pogrom.

We may cover this tomorrow, but I just wanted to signal boost this. After months of pushing the administration to make good on its promises for trans youth, NYC appears to be taking steps to do so. I do believe the city can be doing much more, but this is a wonderful start from Mayor Mamdani.

Take note, cis women: Republicans are going to attack you if you don't look the way they want. Annie Andrews isn't trans. www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...

Wow... queer people don't want to vote for politicians who hate queer people. Imagine that! www.washingtonsun.com/campaigns/lg...

Trump administration refuses international election monitors for first time in over two decades The decision not to invite observers from the OSCE puts the U.S. alongside Russia and Belarus, while the Justice Department prepares to deploy its own poll monitors.

Last time we reported the 170 number, Kristi Noem denied the administration had detained any citizens. This time, we’re releasing the full list — and a host of video evidence — along with our story.

A year ago, @propublica.org told you immigration agents had detained more than 170 U.S. citizens. We’ve updated our count, and we’ve got all the receipts. The tally: At least 506 citizens detained. Sometimes held at gunpoint, handcuffed, or even deported. projects.propublica.org/american-cit...

The military is being deployed to guard election facilities — but not how you thought: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/military-m...

Your daily reminder:

"The US role in Brazil's election is criminally under-discussed in the US, though obviously front and center of the conversation in Brazil." - @ishaantharoor.bsky.social US has done Lawfare & Economic Warfare against Brazil & the continent & it is shocking how few americans know/care about it

Here’s the original post on Tumblr. Pls reblog/repost this on there as well if you can.

(I’m not from Brazil but please read this before the elections as it’s still important) From OP: Please keep your eyes on Brazil, especially if you're from the US. I do not like to post this kind of stuff but we are scared. #brazil #important #awareness #awarenesspost #eleições2026 #elections

the idea that rufo has, at any point in his public career, been a sincere advocate for “colorblind meritocracy” is brain dead

If a trans woman uses a women's bathroom to pee for a minute she can be arrested, if a cis man gang rapes a woman for 7 hours he may be forced to get chatGPT to write an essay for him saying he's sorry This is how much conservatives actually care about women's rights and safety

Trump keeps saying the quiet parts loud. The WNBA trans-panic is completely manufactured. www.lgbtqnation.com/2026/10/says...

People keep confusing "being nice" with "being good." Being nice to fascists is not good.

Not the least bit surprising but still extremely grim to read. time.com/article/2026...

There is sci-fi smut you can read with more realistic and coherent plots.

i'm not gonna say what i hope happens, but if it DOES happen, i hope the gas station where they Happen him up by the ankles opens a gift shop

it’s amazing that there’s no crime anymore. if you do crime you’re actually just the victim for getting caught. the people who catch you are the criminals

The IRGC has published a 26-page "Letter to the American people." img9.irna.ir/d/r2/2026/09...

🚨 The Pentagon is "increasing [nuclear] options available to the President," per classified briefing to Congress:

They've got trans people on the ropes, now they're coming for the LGB people. thehill.com/homenews/edu...

Yet another Democrat has released an ad decrying "boys in girls sports." This Democrat is NY-21's Democratic candidate for congress, Blake Gendebien. You can watch his full ad in our latest story. He joins several other Democrats releasing similar ads this cycle.
