I hope I have given fidelity, and that everyone viscerally understands: You will have to come through me.

An Iowa official defied the governor’s orders to fly flags at half-staff for Charlie Kirk, writing he wouldn't honor a man who "did so much harm"

Want a trillion hits on YouTube? Get a bunch of kindergarteners who live in DC, Chicago, NYC, and LA to read grown republicans’ tweets about how scared they are of those cities

You know, when I heard that all of our personal data had been hacked, I didn't expect the first major use of it to be the NYT trying to fuck over Zohran but maybe I'm naive www.nytimes.com/2025/07/03/n...

The idea that pro-trans movements led to anti-trans sentiment is egregiously out of touch with reality. Increased LGBTQ representation led to historic shifts in public opinion toward the community. The aggressively bigoted and violent campaigns that lied about trans people are clearly responsible

They won't be satisfied until trans people are unable to get medical care and driven from public lfe into the closet. Some of you are still asking whether trans people in sports is fair or bathroom bans are ok, as though you aren't helping them eliminate trans people from society. You've been used.

🚨 The US House of Reps have now PASSED their budget bill that includes a BAN on Gender Affirming Care for Medicaid for ALL AGES. This bill now goes to the Senate where it’s likely to pass. Call your Senators!

I know that media use the term "big beautiful bill" in quotes but it's unfortunate that this many years into covering this president we are still suckered into leading with his language and framing when covering such consequential stories

I never read all the Dune pre/sequels, so I don’t know, but I am ready to believe the spark of the revolt against computers was kids all over the Imperium cheating on their term papers.

I went on @americanfric.bsky.social to describe all the ways RFK Jr. is wrong about autism

American Friction@americanfric.bsky.social

🚨OUT NOW🚨 RFK Jr. won’t stop talking about autism – and his comments are anti-science, wrong and offensive. So, we wanted to speak about just how bizarre his stances are. We're lucky to be joined by @ericmgarcia.bsky.social to get into it all! 👉 linktr.ee/americanfric...

In any other administration, the president would already be huddled with advisors trying to stave off collapse

This idea that there is a god given right for fascists to always be allowed to run in elections because somehow democracy is threatened by not allowing fascists to run for office is profoundly stupid, dangerous and makes people sound patently insane. Fascists want to kill democracy. That is all.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

President Nixon publicly suggested that Charles Manson was guilty during his trial and Manson’s lawyers moved for a mistrial because the opinion of a President on an ongoing trial would be impermissible prejudicial to a jury.
