Superhostile

The Plot to Enslave America. Harsh treatment of student borrowers both makes those currently in the labor pool more willing to submit to exploitation and future workers less likely to go to college (where they could compete with the aristocrat children of the elite). Big win for the oligarch class

Tgirl baseball version of A League of their Own where the Tom Hanks role is filled by a trans dude who used to play for the WPBL and is always on a 50 to 100 mg edible

There’s still baseball to be played! ⚾️⚾️⚾️

Really try to imagine what it’s like to be a trans kid right now in the many states with ballot initiatives on their rights. What on earth would you tell yourself to get out of bed in the morning? To go to school. To even try and imagine any future at all. Could you do it? I don’t know that I could.

the biggest presidential scandal in history but the political media largely acts as if it's not happening. hasan piker has received more mainstream political media coverage over the last 6 months than trump's connections with epstein has

So-called “inclusionary zoning” is an attempt to outsource a key state responsibility—providing subsidized housing to poor people—to private for-profit actors so the state does not have to raise and spend tax money. It is profoundly neoliberal policy.

Felt cute over the weekend

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

looked at in longer perspective, it's striking how much this resembles the premodern system of exclusion, rents, and personalist connections, which was--and this part's important--radically worse than the modern system of impersonal rules and general taxation

if voting didn't matter they wouldn't be working so hard to stop you

The democrats who are coming out as transphobic are not being practical. They are being transphobic.

this. And they need to have their arms twisted: you wont go far in this dem party if the dolls hate you.

kinda frustrating how i can’t seem to reach the queer community at large about our lil trans wrestling and combat sports program despite my best efforts :( i know they’ll love our shit they just need to know about it but it’s so hard

LAX’s latest people mover update reads like a children’s book

NEW: Omar Muñoz, a 72-year-old LA grandfather, was dragged out of his home by DHS agents and paraded in front of cameras for Trump's "voter fraud" crackdown. The DOJ used footage of his arrest for a promotional video. Omar is a green card holder in the US for 50+ yrs W @samrlevine.bsky.social

Kept it simple for my first time 💅🏻

every now & then someone on the anti-trans side will get cold feet about how openly ugly it's all getting—they want to keep the image of a nice, sensible centrist but it's never enough for them to get off the train

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.

Another Basedolls practice in the books! ⚾️⚾️⚾️

Carrying a surveillance device in one’s pocket at all times: I sleep A city-owned camera takes a picture of your license plate and sends you a ticket if you run a rear light: “This is a hecking jorjorwell 1984”

this man has Talked an enormous about of Shit but against a population the state and capital have determined he cannot Get Hit by

I think a huge reason Elon Musk is so virulently transphobic is not simply that his daughter transitioned & went no contact, but that he did everything he could to make sure all his kids were boys b/c he hates women, & one of those children deliberately & publicly embracing being female enrages him.

The last Dem president was the best world leader on trans issues in human history and it isn’t particularly close

These people are in love with the aesthetics of radicalism and the libidinal thrill of righteous violence. They are not interested in doing the political work required to improve their material circumstances, which they find boring.

It's impossible to overstate how twisted and evil those Texas mailers are; this is one of at least a dozen reasons. There are no depths to which the GOP will not sink, and they must be resoundingly defeated everywhere we can manage.

Not a good sign for Democrats who pushed anti-trans shit in their efforts to win. Future primaries won’t be kind.

It's far too early to say we held through the storm. But we've held this long, and I am incredibly proud of every single member of my community who refused to return to the closet, go stealth, or become a quisling.

Making myself angry for no reason at all remembering the American transit planner that went to Amsterdam and was appalled at how little stakeholder engagement they did in favor of actually building shit.

We’re gonna have a first time would series winner from a small market a month before the owners lock the players out over the sport being unfair for small market teams. Bless their hearts!

BREAKING: President Trump has repeatedly claimed that Democrats are cheating by allowing noncitizens to vote. But the poster child of Monday’s voter fraud sweep — who the DOJ alleges was illegally registered to vote in L.A. — is a registered Republican lamaterial.com/p/voter-frau...

NARRATIVE BUSTER: After months of anti-trans ads by Republicans, the latest ABC/Washington Post/Ipsos poll shows... Democrats have a +9 advantage on "transgender issues." abcnews.com/Politics/dem...

Your Harry Potter dollars funded this.

"that's right. we're going to campaign against women, education, and cities, and tell you that we're sticking it to Elites. bet you've never encountered someone like me before"

Insurance Commissioner is the single statewide race that has me the most worried this year, and that includes ballot measures. I think Jane Kim getting elected could lead to genuine disaster.

Not at all picking on this poster, so don't let me catch you being mouthy, but the bast majority of Democrats are pro-trans and have records of being pro trans There are over 10,000 elected Democrats in fed and state gov, so don't get distracted by a small handful getting headlines being anti-trans

Bluesky today reminding me that there are a lot of homeowners out there who consider themselves diehard progressives but will turn into Grover Norquist the second you suggest that taxing the wealth held in their homes is fine and good.

The generation that got to buy cheap houses thanks to a postwar construction boom, then blocked new housing construction to juice their asset values is now whining that they have to pay taxes on their unearned wealth. Just breathtaking selfishness.

did your brain melt this summer as Fox News ran 8+ hours of Sophie Cunningham/TERF coverage? to you I present the many trans fans, affirming parents of trans kids, and WNBA players who are pro-Black, pro-trans, pro-woman. “The majority of the fanbase is standing up saying: ‘No, this isn’t right.’”

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

Sometimes I go outside… at night, even!
