RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

Today marks 2 years since I started HRT. 2 years since Ken Paxton and the rest of the Texas GOP lost the control they had over my life and I was finally allowed to be myself. I’m proud to say that I voted against my attempted killer today. Fuck you, Ken.

I’m a Texan trans kid who almost died because of Ken Paxton. The world should know what he’s done. This was very difficult for me to write, but given what's at stake, I cannot bear to stay silent about what I went through at Paxton's hands. He must not be rewarded for what he's done to trans kids.

Every morning a kid in Tehran wonders whether some mad man on the other side of the world is going to kill every person he knows and every person in their country. The mad man can do it and enjoys that power. Every prior president shuddered at the thought of having such immense power.

Trump’s tariffs are destroying our farm economy, hurting our trade relationships with allies, and creating chaos and uncertainty for farmers in the district, like Seth, Dan, and Matt. My opponent, Zach Nunn, voted 8 times for tariffs. He called them “winning.”

ERIC SCHMITT: Mr. Smith, did you or did you not, drive your car into a lake and drown your two baby boys, because the man you were having an affair with, didn't like kids? JACK SMITH: No sir, that was Susan Smith.

This is as treasonous as it gets

Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social

This is completely outrageous and disgusting. This must immediately be blocked by Congress and Trump should be impeached for this. The US is now funding Putin’s war machine as he murders civilians including children. We are lost as a country.

25 years ago today, the U.S. launched its war in Afghanistan. Weeks earlier, Barbara Lee was the only member of Congress to vote against the 2001 Authorization of Military Force, warning it would be a blank check for forever wars. History has proven her lonely and courageous vote right.

Sex trafficking rapist pedophile Andrew Tate had beastiality porn of horse and eel as well as videos of minors. A reminder that creepy racist scumbag JD Vance and the orange felon fought to bring him and his vile brother Tristan to the US to protect them. MAGA empowers monsters.

More than 500 U.S. citizens have been detained by ICE, according to ProPublica. 70% of ICE detainees have no criminal conviction. Trump’s promise to go after the “worst of the worst” was always a lie. It was always a pretext to terrorize Black and brown communities. Remember this.
