you cant persuade nazis, facists. a lot of centrists are essentially, enablers of facism. they are willing to sacrifice those most vulnerable. most WANT to. that is the core of facism. you wont persuade them, you only fuel them. persuade 3rd parties, sure. but you punch nazis in the fucking mouth

It only took them 4 years and 8 months. A UN Commission of Inquiry says Russia’s systematic attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure constitute war crimes and crimes against humanity, concluding they were intended to deprive civilians of essential services and cause suffering. #Ukraine

NEW: Transgender Texas Student Union has retained counsel in response to the Travis County filing related to the fake transgender mailers. It's Chris Hilton, who previously worked for Ken Paxton at the Texas Attorney General's office and left temporarily to defend Paxton in his impeachment trial.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 According to CNN, the United States is prepared to launch a full-scale war against Iran within 96 hours of an order from Donald Trump. The order could be issued shortly after the U.S. midterm elections conclude on November 3.

The elections are on next Tuesday, and so much is at stake, including the soul of the Democratic Party when it comes to transgender people. I am asking you to leave a very small number of races blank in which a Democrat has embraced extreme anti-trans hate. I make my case here.

Medvedev called on Trump to have Zelensky killed by the CIA and the Pentagon. “What should Trump do with such a son of a bitch? The answer lies in American history. He should simply summon the Secretary of War and the CIA director and instruct them to fix this unfortunate misunderstanding.”

Security Alert: U.S. Mission Saudi Arabia (October 25, 2026) Effective October 23, 2026, the Department of State ordered non-emergency U.S. government employees and U.S. government employee family members to leave Saudi Arabia due to safety risks.

Years ago I saw the vitriolic obsession towards trans people on the right, compared it to the complacency on the left, and concluded that my community were in for some tough times. I readied myself to stand behind the basic humanity and dignity of trans people while mainstream support crumbled.

CBS identified Illinois based Three Z Printing as the holder of the permit associated with the fake transgender mailers. One of the owners, Matt Zerrusen, is based in Dallas. His Instagram shows pictures with Charlie Kirk and Donald Trump, and comments from local Republicans.

The cope has begun. Nick Shirley hasn’t even posted and he’s there.

Hi. I, a trans woman, am the Executive Producer of this show. I wrote the question. He called trans girls men. He has now said it in three different places in the past week.

Bolsonaro-friendly mayors appear to be sabotaging public transport on Election Day. Buses aren’t running in Lula-friendly areas, flights and ferries mysteriously canceled. Traffic lights have gone out and people’s power cut in Salvador, indigenous people’s travel restricted

If you're harassing and yelling at trans people because they won't vote for fascist bigots in the shade of blue you prefer, then congrats! You know exactly what you would have been in 1932 Germany. A coward.

The Midterms

this guy thinks he should have life saving medicine and others shouldnt. he thinks some people should have human rights and others shouldnt. he thinks trans people should die. this guy is running for office. dont vote for this guy. this guy is a facist. dont vote for facists.

And everybody clapped

Turek's positions are not "less than perfect." They are a direct threat to the lives of my trans friends and family. He IS the danger we must fight.

Small note: Josh Turek's wording in this ad is the same language the GOP uses to include puberty blockers & hormones. This ad isn't just him agreeing with Marjorie Taylor Greene and Dan Crenshaw's bills to ban Medicare for youth trans health, it's him saying the bills didn't go far enough.

UPON FURTHER REVIEW: Mike Rogers is Big Pharma's MVP.

Feeling more confident that this is a variation on the 'useless eater.' Healthy people are dreamers who can think and, therefore, do thousands of different things. They lead us into the future! Unhealthy people are incapable of dreaming for society and, as such, are selfish burdens.

Maybe I'm being pessimistic, but this reads a whole lot like eugenics dressed in the cadence of a lazy proverb.

We're being told that if we sacrifice the rights of some people, then the rest of us get to keep our rights. We all know that's some BS.

We found that as of right now 73% of your campaign donation goes back to the consultants and vendors (!!!), four times more than just 20 years ago. Only 13% to ads. Even I was shocked.

Why does every Republican campaign ad feel like this?

In November, Dems will likely win big. Liberals will feel relieved. In 2028, a milquetoast corporate Democrat will win the presidency, spend 4 years maintaining what Trump did as liberals go back to brunch. Then, in 2032, as life keeps getting worse, we’ll get something like President T Carlson.

there are a lot of cis people fighting for us, standing up for us, and they deserve our gratitude, respect, and love. what youre doing matters. thank you

While voting in Tennessee, this happened to Dolly Parton's sister. Listen up, y'all. Take as long as you need to and make damn fucking sure your vote is cast correctly.

This is actually hilarious 😂 🤣 The man makes some valid points, tho Shark, at home just minding its business, then here comes this stranger

The "Texas Transgender Student Union" that sent out mailers, which have become a major controversy among Republicans, is a real organization — but it was only formed in September in Wyoming as an LLC and is entirely separate from TENT, the organization marketed in the fliers.

this is the moment I first realized I was trans by putting on a wig. I saw myself truly happy in the mirror for the first time, then immediately realized I'd have to either transition or repress for the rest of my life. I chose to be happy :)

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

🇫🇷🇷🇺 French intelligence services have confirmed that Russia-linked bot networks are exploiting violent unrest for their own purposes, spreading old footage and AI-generated fake videos of police brutality on social media.

the right doesn't reject empathy entirely, they selectively deploy it. when a white person is murdered by an immigrant, for example, they will call upon your empathy. but empathy directed at their enemies is cast aside as toxic.

the idea that empathy is dangerous has been permeating right-wing spaces for a while, but it's not an actual element of their ideology as much as it's a defense mechanism against confronting the reality of their cruelty

I'll never be a fan of Amy Acton, fuck her transphobia, but the Vivek Ramaswamy ad using her mother as a spokesperson who allegedly abused her is perhaps the most vile thing I've ever seen in a political ad. And it will be perhaps one of the biggest political self owns in history for Vivek.

I'm not kidding, the guy simply has to be at the very least deported at the end of this. If we're doing "he's not from here" shit, he is the most not from here guy alive. He needs jail or deportation the second it's viable to do it.
