I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

On the same week the DCCC released its first anti-transgender ad, popular Democratic politician Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez did not mince words. When asked about anti-trans Democrats, she called them "shameful," "wrong," and decried them for "scaring so easily." Subscribe to support our journalism.

Just as a private equity firm buys out a corporation and strips it for parts, a consultant class is raiding the Democratic Party and getting “generationally wealthy” along the way New from me and @adambonica.bsky.social newrepublic.com/article/2163...

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"

70 percent of the internet was vulnerable yesterday to very bad security flaws inside a coding language. Turns out, *one volunteer* is mostly responsible for maintaining that code & helping push updates. Yesterday Ondřej Surý saved the internet. So I called him up www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

listening to trans people was how it finally sunk in that all the advice and moralism about voting I've been taught over the years can only come from a privileged position, one where the advice giver can afford to wait for reforms because they are not in danger.

Setting the “trans rights movement” back a decade would actually be an improvement tbh

i think catholic converts should have to form a separate line before getting their communion so that they don't pose any danger to biological catholics

I just wanted to bring consistent rules and scoring to a RLM trivia show... I'm going to say, it ALMOST worked. Watch "Jack of All Trivia" here:

Being trans is a lot like Gundam. You're thrust to the front line of a war you didn't make. Random adults want to kill you. Char is there.

It’s been three years since Israel started a genocide that’s killed more than 74,000 Palestinians. And while more celebrities are finally using their platforms to call out the genocide, many still remain quiet – or worse, actively voice their support for Israel. Read now: zeteo.com/p/the-good-t...

I cannot stress enough how much tech guys have Always Been Like This. even before AI they were like this. they are simply bad people and bad parents.

Remember, embodying the spirit of straight animals is actually more gay.

the real resentment for me is that you can say "we should get rid of billionaires" to an audience of millions & that counts for less than saying "we should make billionaires kings" to an audience of 3 billionaires

i resent how there's a stable of a couple dozen dudes whose whole thing is 'has a racist blog' & they regularly get mainstream newspaper and magazine profiles. i have trouble keeping track of them all, i'm like 'what did he do again' & check his wikipedia & it's ah, has a racist blog, that's all

truly amazing how stupid the average rightwinger is and how stupid someone like JD vance has to pretend to be to appeal to their base. there's just absolutely no way someone like JD vance doesn't know what socialism is lol

According to a new shadow docket filing with SCOTUS, the Alliance Defending Freedom is arguing that parents of cis kids have a "parental right" to forcibly out trans kids and prevent them from playing. It also seeks further Title IX restrictions in blue states. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Be one with the monkey. Let that horse play.

the Ohio Democratic party is purging its ranks by forcing trans people to either resign or go along with politicians who threaten their existence and calling a pride group an "unwelcoming distraction." If we're just a distraction, then win without our votes and get rid of the fake "pride" orgs 👍🏾

Interesting. I guess the New York Times thinks it’s appropriate for their employees to threaten to bonk me on the head and play horseshoes with my prominent goose egg. To fill my mouth with piano keys that fall out while tweety birds circle around my noggin. To turn my head into a giant whistle,

after the botched lethal injection i read hundreds of comments from americans about how the victims family deserved to watch her die.

“Originalism is an incoherent doctrine. It allows you to prove anything. Thus what it amounts to is a ritual invocation of the Founders, gesturing at this or that piece of text, before delivering whatever conclusion was approved on Fox News the night before.” www.liberalcurrents.com/we-have-no-s...

And, for the coup de grace, two bills protecting fire survivors from predatory insurance companies, which he vetoed, deliberately, to punish fire survivors for rejecting his "reform" bill that was actually a huge payout to SCE for starting fires. calmatters.org/economy/2026...

Things Gavin Newsom has vetoed this week: -A ban on secretly recording people with smart glasses -A ban on ICE agents working for the state government -A ban on websites selling your data -A bill giving native tribes more say over water rights -A bill protecting transgender healthcare providers

I don't know that I have a fully-formed answer to the question "should someone who has admitted to sexual assault still work in a public-facing job?" but I'm much more confident saying that to hide that part of your past from your audience is deceitful, especially if you talk about related issues

Last week the Portland Police made a huge deal about a K9 killed in the line of duty apprehending a dangerous suspect. Turns out that K9 was shot and killed by...the Portland Police www.kgw.com/article/news...

Your son's playdates are LOST CAPITAL. Listen to Jay Weingarten, a man very comfortable around information.

I literally don’t know a single woman who hasn’t been raped, stalked, groped, harassed, or sexually violated in some way at some point in their life. If you choose to doubt and dox survivors, just know every woman in your life is disgusted by you.

A man replied to this saying in earnest that women need to get organized and fight for our rights and men will follow. We did that. We do that. We mobilized the largest single day protest in global history on every continent and yet I have fewer rights than my mom did at my age.

In response to a slew of anti-trans Democrats pushing hate during the 2026 midterms, Governor Andy Beshear provided principled criticism to the idea that red-state Dems need to adopt anti-trans views to win: "We Don’t Throw Anybody Under The Bus," he said. Subscribe to support our journalism.
