@jamestalarico.bsky.social I am dismayed at your capitulation around trans women in sports. Safety and fairness? Women come in all shapes and sizes, and frankly, hormone levels. You either love all of God’s creations or you don’t.

Ellison: This is the essence of dictatorship. It’s the essence of it. And we’ve got to get over the idea that this couldn’t happen here. Not only could it happen here—it’s happening here.

We can either sit here and let Kristi Noem repeatedly lie to our faces or we can fight back every single day until she and this entire regime are removed from office. If you choose to fight, click below to demand your representatives impeach Noem!

I still don’t understand why democratic leaders aren’t speaking up. Obama, Harris, Holder,etc. they should be on TV and social media every day talking about how truly crazy things are right now.

This is what I don’t understand. I don’t know where the fuck everyone is either. I honestly thought Trump and his evil stooges would have been taken out by the military by now. I’m kind of shocked actually. We’ve always claimed to be the most powerful country, but nobody has any balls. NOBODY!!

1. New federal rules were released last week banning gender affirming care for youth at hospitals nationwide. Those rules don't go into effect until public comment, months from now. But it appears Sec. Kennedy is using an arcane process to try to implement them immediately. Our latest story.

This was fricking amazing @44obamamusical

Happy Halloween!

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you. Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide. So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

1. As some Democrats have run from transgender rights, Zohran Mamdani is showing what so many others have lacked: courage to lead with his values over pandering to focus groups. The ad is one of the best things I've seen from a politician on transgender people. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Major victory in Kansas for transgender people. The Kansas Supreme Court declined to block a lower court ruling on gender markers on drivers license. ACLU Kansas says trans people can get their licenses updated starting Tuesday. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Dearest Father The horrors in Portland continue. The Gen X Ladies Crochet and Defense Circle had to walk three extra blocks for supplies when our usual yarn commissary was closed due to a water leak. (Was it the enemy or just bad luck, I’m afraid we’ll never know, but I suspect the worst). Yrs Emma

When the President uses federal law enforcement for his personal revenge, it puts all of us in danger.

".. I kept comparing it to a natural disaster .. But it wasn’t natural. Just a stampede of wide-eyed, confused government employees moving files around and looking over their shoulders because they think maybe Elon was creeping behind them with a chain saw.” @wired.com www.wired.com/story/oral-h...

Donald Trump is way less popular than he wants you to believe. And you are significantly more powerful than he wants you to think.

People from all over are showing up for DC. This is not a moment. It’s a movement. We are united in our demands. We are all DC! #FreeDC

Social Security turns 90 this year. It's not just for retirement — it's one of the nation’s largest programs benefiting children. Read the full #OpEd on why the program needs to evolve and how it benefits Gen Z just as much as Seniors. ⬇️

We can’t lose focus on what matters – right now, Republicans in Texas are trying to gerrymander district lines to unfairly win five seats in next year’s midterm elections. This is a power grab that undermines our democracy.

Smoky evening on the Detroit River

Why aren’t people visiting the concentration camp in FL wearing those stupid (but in this case super helpful) meta streaming glasses??? Seems like this is use for which @thegodpodcast.com intended them

Saw Sinners last night. DAMN (haha) that was a good movie. I would have loved to see a parallel music scene outside to the first one with Preacherboy (which was jawdroppingly fantastic). Hope that’s vague enough to not give anything away for those who haven’t seen it clear enough for those who have.

This is a WTF moment. In a sea of them.

Watching the above hearing. Two thoughts, being defensive is not a great look. Also, turns out being evil is quite aging.

The neck gaiter the 2025 version of a white hood.

That asshole comes into this space and first thing he does is tout the truly devastating SCOTUS decision. Bigoted bully.

Aren't we all having a bit of a hard time with the concept that if a guy in a police uniform who has a police vehicle shows up, we should lock the doors and call 911, but if a guy in a ski mask appears to be kidnapping our neighbor, we shouldn't ask who he is if we don't want federal charges. 🤷

Every machine in a Hospital that diagnoses your body without cutting you open is based on a principle of Physics, discovered by a Physicist who had no interest in Medicine. If you think the world doesn’t need Basic Science, or that somehow Science has failed you, think again.

Today they have crossed a deep red line. We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov @govwhitmer.bsky.social @governorwalz.mn.gov looking forward to hearing what you have to say to the nation!!

Oh.

I like this Gavin more than podcast Gavin.

True story bro.

If there was ever a time for MTVs Celebrity Deathmatch to make a comeback…

Can we please stop calling Senator Cruz by his preferred name and only refer to him by his legal name? Oh, and eff him for his Life Month bullshit.

It’s time to start immigration court defense watches. Much like clinic defenses, with cameras and questions.

Heeyooo. I'm offering free pet portraits to any federal employees who recently lost their jobs, as well as veterans who no longer have access to services they previously relied on. >>Will you share this post so it reaches someone who could use a happy piece of art featuring their pet? #petsofbluesky

@alexfalcone.bsky.social it’s not just the kids at the grocery store…
