this also doesnβt solve the problem of conservativesβ kids growing up to hate them. once they leave pedophile school and go to the real world and realized they didnβt have to do all that theyβre gonna be mad as fuck!

Cling to their bibles? If only. They never comprehended their bibles. They cling to marketing: Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben and the Barrel Cracker etc. Their praxis is waiting in line for Chik Fil A. Their heritage is green bean casserole made with Campbell's cream of whatever soup. Embarrassing.
hammer them on child marriage, pedocon shit dismiss their concerns over The Trans (sports) Question with utter contempt
I genuinely think βcreate a society where no one is so disenfranchised that they want to steal a graduate studentβs $200 bikeβ is an easier lift than βreform the police so that they can solve or prevent these crimes and also donβt abuse peopleβ. this is based on the behaviors and actions of cops.
Iβve also gotten my bike stolen a few times and thatβs a crime I donβt even bother reporting to the cops bc the fuck are they gonna do? Like I have just over and over again in my personal life been disabused of the idea that cops deter , stop, or solve crime in any meaningful way
we need to be doing this and calling them pedophiles constantly
If you say 'heteronormative' or 'unhoused person' or 'food insecurity' you're basically talking gibberish and nobody can understand you but if you say you can see inflammation in children at the airport and that vaccines lower IQ or that germs are a myth you get to fire all the scientists.
Part of the issue is that cops are quite useless, especially in the most marginalized communities. They donβt show up when 911 is called and when they do, they often escalate the situation.
In my case when 911 was called for both theft and me being hit by a car, all the cop did provide a police report for insurance. which was useful for my medical bills / renters insurance but we donβt need someone w a gun to be doing that & the cops didnβt solve the theft thatβs for damn sure

See what a difference a headline makes? I far prefer @hyperallergic.comβs coverage. hyperallergic.com/1031310/home...
This shit sucks man. Medically proven and effective treatment that would save trans youth a lifetime of pain and discomfort in their own bodies thrown in the trash because our country enables the most evil people imaginable.
I don't have an ounce in me of what you would call patriotism but it makes me fucking sick to see neoconfederates controlling everything.
The greatest comparison for whatβs happening in the US today is the US pre-1965, especially but not only the Southern United States.

Lictors bring Brutus the bodies of his sons, 1789. Fascinating use of light & darkness by Jacques-Louis David, whose day is today.
Born on this day in 1748, Jacques-Louis David. Here painted by himself in 1794, looking intense and revolutionary.
thatβs what you see when youβre going to hell
idk where you live rn but MA rules. I donβt have a car and I live a full and beautiful life without driving :)

when jd Vance dies his heart will be judged as far heavier than a feather and ammit will devour his heart I know this to be true
there is no question in my mind that rfk jr is the most dangerous person in this administration and that his eugenicist ideology threatens the lives of millions of people www.advocate.com/politics/dem...
Absolutely broken and unserious media environment. Sure the right is cutting pediatric brain cancer trials to fund more brownshirts but isnβt it just as bad that my kids wonβt pick up my calls just bc I constantly post Kamala transvestigation memes & am celebrating the destruction of their careers?
thatβs crazy. anyway would you consider exiling your children from their home bc theyβre gay or trans βcutting off friends/family for political viewsβ? or does the shit conservatives do most often just not count
conservatives are the ones who will kick their own children out of their homes for being queer (50-60% of homeless youth in Utah are lgbt) but itβs leftists cutting off q-pilled adult family members that are the problem
This is a poorly framed question. Lots of conservatives would cut off a family member for being LGBT, for example, but that doesnβt clock as a βpolitical viewβ to them. Also, the narrative that leftists cut off their conservative family members too easily is extremely widespread on the right.
Dr. Dmitri Daskalakis, who resigned from the CDC says that RFKJr said he believes that Avian flu should be allowed to "burn through" the chickens and then children and others, so we can propagate a "stronger species". RFKJr believes in eugenics. RFKJr needs to resign or be fired.
pope Leo please immediately make this a heresy punishable by excommunication
I realise that to cis people, when trans people lose access to gender-affirming care, it seems like we're bitching about not getting our little treats. I have more than one friend whose body is currently falling apart because it no longer makes its own hormones and the government banned their HRT.
True death cult shit. An evil deep in the soul. I do hope hell is real
Also awesome to be anti abortion and anti vax. Yes we will force you to have 14 children. And yes you will have to watch them all die before they turn 5.
vaccination bar none the greatest medical achievement in human history. Your ancestors would kill and lay down their lives to give their children ANY ONE of these vaccines
before vaccination every seventh child in Russia died of smallpox . And thatβs just ONE DISEASE. We cannot imagine the scale of child death that permeated a pre vaccine era. To be anti vax is to be to your core a killer of children, a celebrator of child death, a priest offering up children to baal
I need a new podcast to binge while doing manual pipette work thanks :)
and when those kids are trans your annoying ass says they should be singled out and ostracized by their peers with the sanction of the state so Shut Da Fuck Up
I applaud workers at the CDC for standing up against Sec. Kennedyβs dangerous anti-vaccine crusade. We are witnessing a full-blown war on public health from the Trump Administration. History will not look kindly on those who stayed silent in the face of this assault on science.
Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.), top Dem on the Senate health committee, on this evening's chaos at CDC: βWe cannot let RFK Jr. burn whatβs left of the CDC and our other critical health agencies to the groundβhe must be fired."
One more time, shout out to the very serious people who suggested that RFK had some really good points about public health. No way to have predicted how things would turn out, except to look at his past record and everything he said about vaccines.
Full resignation letter from Demetre C. Daskalakis, a CDC leader, does not hold back. "The recent shooting at CDC is not why I am resigning. My grandfather, who I am named after, stood up to fascist forces in Greece and lost his life doing so. I am resigning to make him and his legacy proud."
excited to see the popularism guys come around on this!
Cuneiform wasn't just a form of writing prevalent in the last millennia BCE. The last datable cuneiform tablet is from 75 CE, during the reign of Vespasian (for a comparison). Also, I really love the Penn Museum's "Write Your Name in Cuneiform" inscriber. We are doing it in class tomorrow! πΌ
βοΈThe triumph of Marcus AureliusβοΈ This #ReliefWednesday we travel into the imperial period to catch Marcus Aurelius celebrating a triumph over the Germanic peoples. This relief comes from the triumphal arch dedicated to Marcus Aurelius by the Roman Senate for his successes in the Marcomannic War.
Trump was literally convicted of defrauding lenders on a massive scale and itβs been completely forgotten, as our political media thrills to Trump weaponizing uncharged penny-ante, likely-accidental mortgage application misrepresentations against his enemies.
Theyβre not making the slightest pretense of doing anything but weaponizing a federal agency against Trumpβs enemies, and the New York Timesβ response is βWell played, sire!β
Is it any surprise that when Pete Buttigieg gave that canned answer on Pod Save he was universally panned by both the "left" and "liberal" flanks of the party alike? It is because nobody believes "I support a two state solution" means anything anymore. Because it doesn't, absent tangible policy.
If you accept Republicans' framing of immigration as fundamentally a problem and something that must be limited to preserve the integrity of the ethno-state, you're going to end up with slightly less monstrous fascism. Nobody who wants restriction is going to be convinced; they want the pure shit.
when it happens Iβm going to take all 40 hours of accrued sick leave and go on a hedonistic bender that would make the most debauched bacchant look like a fucking puritan
We were literally on the verge of curing multiple forms of cancer.
let some transsexuals move in maybe weβll make some cool art for your dying town
Thatβs fucking right
all this to target one poor girl trying to make friends n college
Among all the other things, "The President has screwed things up so badly that the world's other rich countries won't deliver mail to us anymore" really should end it immediately.
Correct. The default Dem position has to be, "I will fire everyone Trump appointed, and everyone hired by anyone Trump appointed, regardless of what any statute or court says." Anything less is a ratification of Trump's actions that leaves the government broken and filled with saboteurs.
When the history of this fascist period is written, special attention will be paid to some of our epochβs most grotesque figures: leaders of liberal nonprofits and think tanks. Itβs incredible to see someone, at this moment, put their name on this quote:
it's not a scapegoat. he's not covering things up. he's a dictator doing dictator shit for the love of doing dictator shit. God!
it is an unassailable truth that burning the flag looks cool and no executive order can ever change that
Todayβs Executive Order creating a *nationwide* military βquick reaction forceβ and setting up an online portal to permit random fascist vigilantes to join soldiers is one of the scariest things Iβve seen in U.S. politics in my adult life. Why is it not getting more attention?
Great Khan Pritzker has my full and unqualified support
I am going to try to be nice to everyone I come across as long as I feel they are 100% in support of trans people. Also, I am going to start treating anyone only 99% or less in support of trans people as 0% in support of trans people and bully them. Fuck you pick a side right the fuck now.
I keep saying this but it remains true: Dems have not learned the central lesson of Reconstruction, that multiracial democracy cannot survive when those working to overthrow the rule of law & fair elections are allowed to operate with impunity.
Illinois Gov. Pritzker vows to pursue Trump officials who participate in an illegal National Guard deployment to Chicago: "If you hurt my people, nothing will stop me - not time or political circumstance - from making sure that you face justice under our constitutional rule of law."
Bret Stephens should shove all his work onto a 19 year old communist. letβs see some GOOD columns for once
It's 3 years to election. There are 290 million US citizens and approximately 240 million are natural born citizens. If you can't find a presidential candidate who doesn't want to strip someone of their human rights or genocide others, you absolutely suck as a nation and a people.
yeah I feel the illinoise
Andrew Cuomo had other plans for seniors

what's interesting about this is that it serves the same purpose as trump's rallies β energizing potential supporters and interested people, creating a positive vibe that builds an affective relationship β but is so much more democratic in that it is participatory
π£ Weβve closed up shop at the 6th clue location since there wonβt be enough time to get from there to the final #ZcavengerHunt stop before we end at 7pm. If you havenβt made it to location #6 yet, our apologies and thanks for playing!
Agreed, but... I wish this sort of coverage had been more timely. We need preventative care or early treatment, not documentation of an autopsy.
i think one issue is that this approach has proven to be a total failure. a partisan who sees the right as morally deficient will have had a better track record at predicting the events of the last few years than someone who is endlessly trying to demonstrate their nuance.
Iβm willing to be bipartisan on this. The Clintons should also be thrown into prison forever for being close associates of a pedophile human trafficker
If the recommendation to Democrats was to speak plainly, casually, like a normal person having a real conversation rather than like a politician stumbling through jargon, theyβd be gushing about Mamdani and telling Dems to be more like him. But theyβre not, because they really mean something else.
since Bluesky is chock full of Newsom-stan-bots insisting that "Dems should compromise on trans issues", I will re-up my November essay about why this is not only immoral & unempirical, but BAD POLITICS. Dems WILL LOSE if they do this, here's why (no paywall): juliaserano.medium.com/should-democ...
Words/phrases Democrats should never use: * bipartisan * my Republican friends * real, valid, legitimate, serious, important (to describe issue raised by Republicans) * yea (when voting on Republican bills) * distraction (to describe bad thing Republicans did) * woke (in derogatory sense)
Harvard is not the enemy. Nor is UPitt, UNC Chapel-Hill, Baylor College of Medicine, or UVA. But that is how the administration is treating the entire landscape of federally supported research & the next generation of scientists. They and we will lose out. π www.washingtonpost.com/education/20...
putting aside the trans rights issues specifically (lol), I think part of what has me so frustrated with the Newsom thing is that Pritzker, Walz, and Zohran are putting on clinics for a popular, progressive politics and weβre wasting time talking about this used car salesman ass goblin.
Would you suck an apeβs dick if it meant Democrats won congress? Hypothetically.
reposted this today because the inverse is also true: if you abandon trans people right now, you are abandoning civil rights period. if you can't stand up for trans people when it matters, no one should, or will, ever trust you when the bullseye moves to the next target.
Ultimately, if we want to have a fair and open society that promotes justice and equity and diversity, we are going to have to oppress these sorts of people, because that sort of society is what people like this find oppressive.
Creating alternative structures of governance to replace the destruction of state capacity happening right now is essential. Hire laid-off federal workers. Build your own capacities. Nobody's coming to help.
And we should also have a state run construction firm that pays union wages to build new housing and a total ban on non-commercial vehicles larger than a Toyota corolla in all major cities

UGLY WOMEN OF THE DEMOCRAT PARTY - a vote for transphobia is a vote to push YOU out of public life
the fact that they didnβt get new leadership after the last election was such a monumental failure of the entire party. people really thought you could slap a new coat of paint on and itβd be the same as a shiny new car.
They are using this to test the waters & set a precedent before they go after HBCUs
This was like lancing a boil.

With democratic voters support for Israel at an all time low and 65% of Dems saying Israel is carrying out a genocide, theres emerged a new suite of pseudo criticism of Israel by AIPAC liberals. I listed the top four and dissect why theyβre bullshit ass-covering and misleading busy work.
We spent trillions on AI while China built renewable infrastructure, all because a ton of drug addled Silicon Valley freaks fried their brain on a potent combo of nazism and new age spirituality and thought they could invent God (who they would then own)
