"Oh, Trump can barely walk! He's incontinent!" Chances are you've been a protest with someone who couldn't walk or were incontinent. You have family members, friends, coworkers. Are these things that would keep them from being a competent leader? Would you say this shit to them? Come the fuck on.

like literally guys it's time to come to jesus. i don't care about your morals, you're going to hell but that's not important right now. hold my hand when i tell you this: if your strategy is "everyone just do what i want no matter how i treat you", you will lose 100% of the time. come ON.

this is what we're all telling you. a democratic majority that includes talarico and others like him is more dangerous to us. because the 'reasonable' versions of anti-trans bills will get written and passed and you all will go back to brunch and not care. you don't care what happens to us.

somehow, trans people simultaneously matter enough in an electoral sense that we can be blamed — even preemptively! — for a loss, but not enough that we “deserve to be catered to” when “so much is at stake.”

This is why you can't compromise with transphobes. Additionally the UK is like this as a direct result of JKRs actions and it's why you can never engage with Harry Potter again.

This is one of the most disgusting and racist things I've ever seen. The right in Canada are selling dead Indigenous children t-shirts that promote genocide denial. Children's bones have been dug up at this point but it's never enough for them.

It's not about the tariffs. We don't take his repeated threats to annex Canada as jokes. He ignores agreements he negotiated himself. He only speaks of us with threats and contempt. Yet most articles, including this one, only mention tariffs. Until Americans get this we can't have a relationship.

As U.S.-Canada relations worsen, Michigan’s Sault area has lost an estimated $62.7M due to decreased crossings. It’s bewildering, a state senator says. He recalls Canadians helping locals fix the grid after a storm: “This is our best friend in the entire world.”

Historian of abolition here, history tells us how we got here, to put it succinctly “John Brown was hanged for treason and Robert E. Lee was not.”

If the wealthy can get you thinking about who deserves basic needs and who doesn't, they win. They don't care if you think wealthy people are the ones who don't deserve; establishing that it must be earned is the key. With that done, they can just keep expanding the definition of "undeserving."

I think bluesky would be roughly 300% better if people here were capable of reading “this is an assessment of the empirical reality of a situation” without assuming it comes with an implicit “and therefore I endorse the reality of that situation”

Trans rights was always going to end like this and if you thought they’d “settle” for “reasonable regulations” you’re a clown Trans rights have always been human rights Fucking disgusting

Caring about trans people should be reason enough. But any politician or commentator who is willing to sell out trans existence for political expediency will do it to you too if they think there is enough votes in it. Being willing to compromise on trans rights is proof they have no principles.

You can call fascists vile without using their tools. You don't need to make fun of bad people for being fat or ugly or for their gender or ableness of their bodies. It's just shitty, white guy behavior. None of us like Pam Bondi, but now none of us like you either.

This woman has more courage than every member of the Democratic leadership caucuses in Washington combined. And there are tens of thousands of everyday people just like her who are finding courage to confront evil face to face while our "leaders" dither and argue over semantics.

For the love of all that is holy stop using AI to produce slop making fun of Trump. It’s lame as shit and only normalized a technology that’s economically, environmentally, and intellectually destructive. It’s using fascist tools and thinking you’re fighting fascism. Stop.

I have watched as so-called "compromise" positions on transgender people's rights have failed over and over--in statehouses, the Biden White House, and in liberal rhetoric. There is no middle ground acceptable to the politicians, activists, and billionaires obsessed with trans people and our lives.

Can't overstate how fucked up it is that unraveling what is arguably the greatest achievement in the history of humanity is now a motivating issue of one of the two dominant parties in the U.S.

the US profoundly needs a children's rights movement. children are not property... they deserve opportunity and learning and autonomy and security.... and our country just does not acknowledge this

All the dire implications notwithstanding it is hilarious how evil this technology is. Billions of dollars spent on this greasy lying stupid thing that was literally built to replace people, and everyone that uses it gets weaker, lazier, dumber, and sadder for having done so. Well done all around.

Funny how the US has basically the government of Iran now: Supreme Leader who rules by decree, priestly council with token opposition that decides whether the decisions are okay or not on arcane scriptural grounds, and completely ceremonial legislature

1. The US Transgender Survey has finally been released, and the results are stunning. - <1% of people are less satisfied after HRT. - The most common reason for detransition, pausing transition, or stopping transition is transphobia. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

"Masked security forces captured an opposition leader in the coastal province of New Jersey as regime officials continue their months-long crack-down against pro-democracy elements in the embattled United States. The arrest comes as the regime issued calls for summary detentions without trial."

You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.

While we're all anti-tariff these days, it would be nice if the BC government dropped their tariff on journalism that requires freedom of information requests.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

i am fascinated by the outright refusal of people in the professional political commentary class to just consider the possibility that there is no plan and that trump really is a braying idiot with the more acute case of narcissistic personality disorder on record

I think people are overthinking this. Trump is greedy and vain, and acquiring Greenland would make him feel like a great president who enlarged America’s North American holdings

If the government’s position is that being trafficked to El Salvador by Donald Trump and Stephen Miller amounts to a final and irreversible deprivation of all rights, then it seems to me every federal court has a duty to permanently enjoin the practice as soon as it possibly can.
