No duh. Only the most misogynistic people hate trans people. Ultimately, it’s all hatred of women.
A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...
I’ve been saying for the past 10 years that if you stop amplifying the far right’s bullshit by outrage-sharing their posts, it’ll reduce their power. Glad to see at least Brazil was listening! 😆
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.

Trump admin arrests Colorado priest. Incarcerates him for over a year. Judge orders him released without charges. They release him without the wheelchair he needs -- other prisoners have to bodily carry him out. He's now being tested for latent TB: www.newsfromthestates.com/article/colo...

This thread is why I believe we should just begin imagining and building a new system in this country. The old one is broken beyond repair now, anyway. We can keep what worked from the old system and chuck what didn’t work. It’s an opportunity.
That it'll fail because they lack sufficient consolidation and centralized control does not make it trivial that the president of the United States is trying to steal elections and produce an illegitimate sham Congress. It is open rebellion against the Constitution and morally tantamount to treason.

Can’t make your AIPAC owners mad, Chuck!
Chuck Schumer — one of the most powerful Democrats in the country — has not issued statements to the press or through his social media channels about the administration’s attack on Ilhan Omar, which critics have described as a five alarm fire for the state of democracy in the U.S.

I hit the ground running and immediately fell flat on my face
OMG -- Zacharia got beat up on Fox & Friends too! KILMEADE: Your thoughts about how your job has gone so far? KATIE: I hit the ground running JONES: It's been a tough week for you. Do you wish you would've disclosed to the president about not passing the bar? Z: Those questions weren't asked

Lonesome Dove is having a big “moment” right now with readers of all genders, not just men. And that has more to do with the fact that LD is an extremely well-written novel (won the Pulitzer), unlike a majority of the schlock the publishing industry is paying huge $ for and pushing to readers.
"If more books were published by men with explicitly masculine themes, would there actually be a wider male readership?" This is very much in the Platnerian mode that presumes all men are only attracted to content by, for, and possibly about Tim "The Tool Man" Taylor. jacobin.com/2026/10/lone...
On a serious note: ARREST THEIR ASSES for defying a judge’s orders.
🚨 Our DC Chief Scott MacFarlane was INSIDE the courtroom as federal Judge Ana Reyes erupted at Trump's DOJ lawyers. “I've never seen anything like that before.” Scott describes the judge screaming at the top of her lungs after the gov cut down hundreds of trees despite assurances to the court
Woe to you, O earth and sea, for Judge Reyes sends the Lorax with wrath

I wrote a novel wherein this very thing happens and it triggers the Biblical Eschaton, lol. It’s called The Ended World. You should read it.
The most indebted corporations in America right now are, at their core, computer virus companies. They think the computer viruses are their girlfriends, so they think this absolves them of guilt. Let's find out!
