Instant meme material from Suburban Santa there in the bottom right

If there is a Republican candidate you are considering voting for because he is an exception, a throwback to the good old days when Republicans were decent, honorable people, I assure you: no there isn't.

The Republican politicians sold to you by the national media as reasonable, compassionate, thoughtful people are actually a bunch of irredeemable bigots, pricks to the core, just utter monsters.

"But really, doesn't every news cycle make me want cheesecake these days?" I tell myself as I dig into my third slice

Just to make this concrete: if I picked a grain of sand somewhere on the earth’s surface, and you went to a random location on the planet with a pair of tweezers and by sheer luck picked up that very grain of sand first try, that would be MORE statistically likely than Trump not being a rapist.

The vile attacks on Amy Acton need to be seen in the context of a party that *needs* people to believe women fabricating sexual assaults is common as rainwater. Because it’s pretty much the only way to evade the conclusion that the president is a rapist.

TRUMP: “Have you seen the crowd outside? 22,000 people watching. We love you out there. They’re watching the Jumbotrons.” 📌 The entire population of Corinth, Mississippi, is approximately 14,000 people. The man can’t even lie right.

ICYMI: It will be appropriate to segregate trans people to separate rooms, which are scarcely available, if it protects the 'dignity' of other patients.

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"

Solid metaphor for the entire administration, honestly

100% this and proud to have @lydiakauppi.bsky.social on our team.

‘She was living her life on her own terms’: Man stands trial in slaying of trans woman

The standard starting point for the right now is "don't believe all women."

BREAKING: SCOTUS rejects Trump admin's request to allow it to end gender-affirming medical care in prisons — a significant, if tentative, rejection of one of the admin's most extreme anti-trans arguments. Only Thomas and Alito noted they would have granted the stay. More to come: www.lawdork.com

Murderous criminals calling each other "humanitarians."

A polling firm got caught faking data. They said it was not faked, or ok, it was faked, but it was all part of some broader social experiment. Two things about academic experiments: a) you get ethical approval to minimize harms - which were real (thread). b) you pre-register expectations. Did they?

Oh man I have so much to say about this but for now I'll just say that, yes, you can feel this when you're there.

Rowling Watch: 0: number of times since 4/15 that Rowling has tweeted on X in support of women’s rights, to protest discrimination against women in the workplace, or to denounce the real-world threats to women’s safety 279: number of times she’s tweeted transphobic hate.

“why don’t u have solutions for the problems we created? really makes u think”

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

Rage against the new Gilded Age is reaching the point of consensus. A THREAD.

Today, we wear purple to honor the lives stolen by domestic violence, stand with survivors and reaffirm a simple promise to every New Yorker: You deserve to feel safe in your home and in your relationship. To anyone experiencing domestic violence: You do not have to face this alone.

While the Missouri GOP spends piles of their rich donors' money on bad attack ads, remember that while prices have ballooned they control the state house, the state senate, the governor, the presidency, and Congress. If they actually had a plan to make your life better, why haven't they done it?

I've been trying to articulate this for years.

Riley Gaines, on people who can’t move past a loss.

missed National Coming Out Day. but came across this screenshot of the mass email i sent 12 years ago!

🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️ THE BBC BLURRED "PROTECT THE DOLLS" OFF A STRICTLY CONTESTANT'S SHIRT FOR BEING "POLITICAL" AND THEN GREENLIT A JK ROWLING DOCUMENTARY. TRANS PEOPLE ARE NOT TOO POLITICAL FOR TV. PROTECT THE DOLLS. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️

Republicans saying ken paxton has no balls 🤣🤣

Especially Billionaires Like Elon Musk.......

“Dehumanizing language is how permission for violence takes hold. When people in power treat a group as not equal, it can send the signal that abusing or even killing members of that group is acceptable. For transgender Americans, this historic precedent is already a reality”

Columbus Day is when Americans who say all immigrants are thieves, rapists and murderers.... ...celebrate an immigrant who thieved, raped and murdered

When L1s ask why they have to study trees so damn much, show them this

The lesion's name is Gavin Williams

The American Dream is amazing: within just a few years you can go from being the child of Cuban immigrants to the great-grandson of Spanish settlers.

“If you don’t like public executions just don’t watch it” says the crowd trying to ban drag shows and books

I remember a decade-long panic about undergraduates, activists, or Tumblr pages declaring new language rules and denouncing people for violating them.

Amendment 3 supporters are emphasizing restrictions on gender-affirming care for minors — even though Missouri already bans most of it — as they seek to overturn the abortion rights that voters approved in 2024. (@missouriindependent.com)

The pause comes almost a year after our investigation revealed that the national average wait time for a first appointment at an NHS gender clinic in the UK is a staggering 25 years.  Wales, however, has operated a different model.
