I like it. Maybe we can help it along, eh?

Merriam-Webster@merriam-webster.com

In 1934, we added a gender-neutral pronoun for a single third person. ‘Thon’ was short for “that one.” It didn’t catch on.

Look at this! WATCH THIS. This is what our taxes are paying for. This is torture. This is racism. This is a crime.

Trans rights are human rights. Trans healthcare saves lives.

As hospitals across the country cave to the Trump administration’s threats to cut federal funding and abandon trans youth, actor Elliot Page speaks out. In New York City, NYU Langone, Mount Sinai, and NewYork-Presbyterian abruptly ended care for trans kids in response to these threats.

Trans people are not to be tolerated - no, that won’t do. They are to be loved, celebrated, and admired. To hate the diversity the universe has created is to hate yourself. Oh my - someone decided to stop by and say hello as I was typing this: #IDIC

There’s a 9/11 photo that haunts me - a picture of someone I knew leaning out of a window above the impact zone in Tower One. Haven’t seen it in years, but I think of it a lot. His expression is determined, like he still expects to make it home to his family that night. Hope I never see it again.

People are turning down highly-paid jobs working on H Potter related productions. They are giving up six/seven-figure sums on principle, because the money raised will be used to harm trans people, including trans children. Yet you can’t give up playing a game, watching a movie or buying a book...?

ICE is responsible for the murder of Orlin Hernandez Reyes. While we can’t bring him back, we can honor him by passing my new bill, Orlin’s Law, to stop ICE from separating parents from their children. Families belong together.

“For we are not a nation that says, ‘don’t ask, don’t tell.’ We are a nation that says, ‘Out of many, we are one.’ We are a nation that believes that all men and women are created equal. Those are the ideals that generations have fought for. Those are the ideals that we uphold today.” Barack Obama

This is amazing - @kevinolearytv 🤡 is fearmongering about Chinese agents opposing his giant Utah data center… but it’s 2 young local girls in Utah who hilariously call him (and his “dumbass hat”) out👇🏽 Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DYU074V...

its true that i dont understand how the supreme court operates. for example do you get the free RV and house for your mom before or after issuing favorable rulings? is it a *wink wink* deal or more explicit? these are the things the general public doesnt understand

Lawrence Hurley@lawrencehurley.bsky.social

NEW: Chief Justice John Roberts bemoans that Americans don't understand how the Supreme Court operates and see justices as "political actors". The court at times simply has to make "unpopular" decisions, he adds: www.nbcnews.com/politics/sup...

Democrats should gerrymander the hell out of their districts. Neutralize Republican voters. Supreme Court is cool with it so just flex until MAGA cries uncle. Fight fire with fire. You cant be Civil with fascists.

We all saw and heard this, and y’all voted for him anyway. We’ve always known. There were rumblings about Epstein from the very beginning. I remember.

My husband sometimes gets care from the VA. I think it takes a special type of person to work there. It’s not an easy job to care for our vets, but it fulfills a promise we made. Giving dignity to our most vulnerable, in many cases. It’s a special calling, that’s all I gotta say.

Do not slow yourself to be drawn into a discussion on pacifism at this time. You will never be passive and compliant enough to not be a threat in the face of state violence.

If you’re looking to understand who Alex Pretti was, look no further than this video where he honors a veteran who has passed away. He was not a domestic terrorist. He was a good man and a hero. (video pulled on X)

I was living in the reddiest of red states when Obama was elected, and my neighbor bought an rv to escape to the woods because, “They’re gonna come and take all my guns!” MAGA: We saw through you then, we see through you now.

Talk to your friends and family in law enforcement - current or former, military and civilian. They can show you step by step how ICE ignores all use of force and crowd control rules in these videos. Give a Proud Boy a gun, 42 hours of “training”, and let them loose - that’s what this is.

It appears he was trying to protect the two women after one was shoved and they were all sprayed directly in the face.

NEW VIDEO: this appears to be the footage from the woman in the pink coat.

If your kid looks like Liam, like mine do, I know how you feel right now. Pressure your elected officials to do more - starting with replacing their ineffectual and tone-deaf leadership. Otherwise it’s all screaming into the void.
