It's been two months of Newsomites being led by the hand to "why" and every single time they say "but we *love* what he's going to do the trannies and vagrants". It's only getting worse as the propaganda accelerates. Just like with Trumpists, no amount of appealing to a better nature will work.
I need you to understand that your "purity test" is my LIFE. Please hear me. I am a human being. I deserve a President who won't roll back my civil rights. And if Newsom wins, transphobia will become a bipartisan consensus. People like me will suffer. Some will die.
I strongly suggest looking to leaders like Pritzger as better candidates to advance. Pritzger is compassionate to trans people and lacks Newsom's vile flair for harming unhoused people, and he also stands up to Trump.

“rich people should be allowed to rip things directly out of the hands of children” is a world class Take, linkedin has truly developed the juice
Canadian COVID Forecast Aug 30 - Sep 12 2025 CANADA High [No change] About 1 in 65 people in Canada are CURRENTLY infected. Compared to lowest point of pandemic in Canada: -Infections ~7.2 higher -Long COVID ~7.7 higher -Hospitalizations ~10.7 higher -Deaths ~10.9 higher
If you’re a free speech "absolutist," I don’t know how you can ignore police repeatedly arresting people, mainly people who have either been drinking or suffering from a mental health crisis, for saying things about Donald Trump that the police find distasteful.
More gender affirming care clinics for trans youth close in Washington State - for those who were confused as to why I upped the risk to moderate in that state for youth. www.thenewstribune.com/news/local/a...
BREAKING: The Pentagon has authorized up to 600 military lawyers to serve as temporary immigration judges. This is a blatant expansion of military power into a civilian judicial process, a dangerous erosion of the separation between the two. Every day, we inch closer to fascism.
Oh god. The couchfucker is going to be President. Now he'll use a Master Seal and become the Advanced class "Nationfucker".

Honestly, I think a lot of politicians on both sides of the Atlantic got psyoped into viewing salt of the earth bigots as more authentic and worthy than them and thinking therefore they must ritually cleanse their sin of education by rolling in the gutter.
Judge Sparkle L. Sooknanan in D.C. convened an emergency hearing on Sunday and ordered the operation to stop.The court made it clear— >> No child can be removed without proper legal process. >>The government must return the children to shelters, and deportations are suspended until further hearings.
you cannot fix a crime problem that does not exist except in the right wing fever swamps crime is at all time lows all over the place - reality simply does not matter in the face of relentless messaging to the contrary the jackbooted thug problem, however, is very real
I'm concerned about the multi-state outbreak of vibrio vulnificus (flesh-eating bacteria) in the Gulf, with 60+ cases across 5 states, & 10+ deaths. On my travels along the gulf states, I didn't see any additional information on how to stay safe. I wonder how CDC cuts have impacted this response.

Honestly, the hour-long run and march of people shouting “Free DC” up 14th Street today is the energy I needed this morning. I love you, DC.
how do i explain to my kids two women being married?? how explain sun go away at night but come back next day? how explain magic rectangle show people talk??? HOW

Last thing I will post tonight about the HPV vaccine is this: It not only prevents cervical cancer, but also penile cancer and anal cancer. So boys should get it, too. (Also, statistical modelling clearly shows that is boys are vaccinated, cervical cancer is eliminated faster)
IMO almost every popular view of gender massively downplays the intensity and virulence of anti-effeminacy as a form of gender violence and prejudice.
“people that I find personally annoying are the reason the other side wins elections” is the laziest possible form of political analysis
Revoking an entire nationality’s visas is collective punishment and never acceptable — especially in this moment when millions of Palestinians lack equal rights, basic healthcare, and so much more at home, forcing them out of the US is unfathomably cruel. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/w...

Hot take: if you abuse and coerce the women around you, there should be consequences. Other hot take: a man's career is not more important than the safety of the women he meets.
"The landlord says the rent increase reflects the market rate for the area." Translation: "Every other landlord round here is hiking the rent, so I reckon I can get away with it too." This is exploitation, plain and simple. We need robust rent controls now. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Graham Linehan is engaging on further targeted harassment of trans people on his SubStack and is engaging in witness intimidation under the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994. He may also be breaching bail conditions.
They're using the St George's cross like a socially acceptable swastika just like they use 'biological' as a socially acceptable discrimination.
The late Iain Banks remarks have never been more relevant. Asylum seekers actually get a pittance from the state and they haven't caused any political problems. Immigration is a good and positive thing and it has helped build Scotland into the modern tolerant and free country it is today.
The United States had one of the worst COVID outcomes in the entire world from a body count standpoint. Anyone who argues with a straight face we were TOO cautious is an unserious imbecile.
I am 76 & I have had most of these vaccinations at one time or another. Also vaccinations against Covid, Tetanus, plus Cholera & Yellow Fever when travelling in foreign countries. These prevented me catching horrible diseases & dying a gruesome death. They did not harm me, they protected me!
Countries on track to eliminate cervical cancer: -Australia by 2028 -Sweden by 2027 -Rwanda by 2030 -UK by 2040 -Indonesia by 2030 -Bhutan 2030 -El Salvador by 2030 -Canada by 2040 How? HPV vaccine. Same one RFK Jr is trying to ban. You will note USA is not on this list.
very direct evidence that video game piracy is important in the preservation of video games
Platner: No one cares that you pretend to be remorseful as you sell out to lobbyists. Symbolic opposition does not reopen hospitals. Weak condemnations do not bring back Roe V Wade. Maine deserves better than Susan Collins.
Remember, when Sam Altman says shit like "future iterations of GPT will require fusion power" or "we will need to build data centers on the moon" he's not revealing an ambitious roadmap. He's doing marketing. Putting "OpenAI" and "moon base" in the same sentence is the only goal.
Concern over low birth rates was what the theocracy in Margaret Atwood’s Handmaid’s Tale used to come to power.
Please talk to some Black people before dismissing the psychological impact of having Feds running around the neighborhood hemming people up en masse.
Persecuted & segregated a trans girl from running track, advocated to ban trans kids from all sports - while laughing with Nazis - as sports bans spread through CA, says we shouldn't receive healthcare til 26, and vetoed two different trans rights bills. I have a feeling no amount will be enough.
COVID for doctors. Or for everyone who wants to get up-to-date info. Because there are still people who think it's no big deal, doesn't affect children, and gives greater immunity with repeated infections. All 100% wrong. #healthcare #COVID #pandemic #disability #chronicillness #maskup #vaccines

ICYMI — “LA wouldn’t be standing today” This is a real thing @Sec_Noem said on tv, with a straight face
Here’s where and when protests against President Donald Trump and billionaire-influence over politics are expected to take place on Monday, organized by the AFL-CIO and dozens of partner organizations.
In case you forgot
it’s so cool that we had 2 incredibly unwell, close to death presidents in a row
You guys see where this is going? Right?
As a witch, I need you all to know I hide in ditches fearing the sound of slamming coming from the back of a Dragula.

GCs in the cabinet, GCs as Ministers, GCs as comms director, GCs in charge of the EHRC, GCs on the bench, GCs in the House of Lords, GCs running the NHS. This is the UK today.
"but you weren't BORN a woman" Okay, I also wasn't born ABLE TO TALK. A lot has changed. (also, no one is born "a woman", we're all born as tiny little infants)
This is your Labor Day reminder that the richest 10% of households own 93% of all publicly traded stock. Corporate tax cuts are for wealthy shareholders. Studies show that workers got nothing from Trump's last corporate tax cuts. His new ones cost taxpayers $600 billion.
A pre-dog-walk 🧵 on the pandemic. To me, the lesson of the pandemic is a very familiar one, although as far as I can tell, no one is talking about it or learning it (which is also familiar). It's about the contrast between America's two political parties.

THE GOP MUST BE DESTROYED FOR THE USA TO LIVE ♥️🤍💙
One of the most important things healthcare systems across America can do to protect patients, and the workforce that attends to them this winter is to ensure #Covid vaccines are available to healthcare workers. That includes clinics, hospitals,and nursing homes.
This is disgusting and horrifying just further proof that Keir Starmer’s Labour Party cannot be trusted to uphold human rights and does not believe in equality.
Thank goodness we still have the foreign press, since American journos are unwilling to report clearly on the Gang that Couldn't Think Straight.
"No one in the administration – the president or anybody under him – has called anyone in my administration or me – have not called the city of Chicago or anyone else. So it's clear that, in secret, they're are planning this – well, it's an invasion with US troops." Gov. JB Pritzker
can we just promise that if we somehow get through this we put a moratorium on electing geriatrics to the whitehouse for a few forevers?
Science is real
"The West tried to get Ukraine to join NATO, so I had no choice but to invade Ukraine"... what the fuck kind of bullshit Trumpian nonsense-"logic" is this? bsky.app/profile/en.a...
the vague silver lining if they really do send troops to Chicago too is that it might get people to start paying attention to Pritzker outside of this website
They attack Fauci, an actual doctor and scientist, but praise RFK Jr., who’s never even seen the inside of a lab. Make it make sense.
unfortunately, the only way to get through this is to break the chains of transmission and stop the spread. masks are variant proof and are our best tool for preventing covid from spreading. ventilation and vaccination and not taking unnecessary risks are all also important layers of protection.
The oldest fossil evidence shows that humans originated in Africa about 200,000 years ago and would have had dark pigmented skin to protect them from intense UV rays. So if you're a believer in "God," and believe man was created in his image... then it stands to reason that God is a Black man.
Get the hell off Substack before you literally can’t anymore without blowing up your business
they’re transparently gleeful about the performative occupation of American cities
I've seen people post stuff on socmed like "why are all lgbt sex games being censored, are they only going to allow vanilla het games with missionary sex in the future" and I regret to inform you not even het games with missionary sex between 2 consenting adults are safe
i am almost 40 and i literally do not have any point in my life where the right wing has not been doing moral panics about imaginary child abuse while institutionally working to enable real abuse of real children. if it's not the satanic panic it's fucking pronouns.
why do transphobes have a fucking monopoly on "having some concerns about fairness", can i have a concern about the fairness of normalizing kids getting their genitals inspected by strange adults for reasons entirely unrelated to health or hygiene as a prerequisite for peewee soccer?
they act like sports fairness shit is unwinnable but it's not! this is deeply fucking easy to say no to! you don't even have to give a shit about trans people to make the argument!
why can't the democrat messaging on trans people be "no, we are not going to force children to undergo genital inspections in order to play sports"
There are plenty of potential candidates who aren't "outsiders". Pritzger is RIGHT THERE.

WELKER: Do you have 100% confidence in Secretary Kennedy? LANKFORD: I believe he's who the president picked. He's challenging some of the assumption - what is it about autism? He seems to be following the science WELKER: The science has debunked links between autism & vaccines for more than 20 yrs
I hope you understand that if you show up at a hospital with an infection no one has ever seen before that the US had somewhere you could call. That place would answer, offer testing you can’t get anywhere else and come visit you to solve if necessary.
Reminder: the apparent plan was to spirit these children away in the middle of the night without them ever seeing the inside of a courtroom to challenge their deportation. Children.
Mass shooters since 2018 who were transgender, total of 4. Mass shooters since 2018 who were not transgender, total of more than 4,000. Transgender folks are 1.0% of the population and they make up less than 0.1% of the mass shooters.
This is going to be everyone in 20 years. Everyone, that is, except for people who still mask religiously. Wear an n95, folks. bsky.app/profile/oliv...
if getting infected gave you any protection, why would people be on their 6th and 7th covid infection? #MaskUp, #CovidIsntOver, and every single infection leaves you with cumulative damage. an ounce of prevention (masking) truly is worth a pound of cure (we don’t have any cures yet).
... so he's saying to "remove"... the west? bsky.app/profile/anto...
If you haven't been wearing a face mask in public lately (or just not consistently), now would be a great time to start. You deserve to protect your health.
I've seen many debating what to do if COVID vaccines truly disappear in the US & what they told me in Canada (as I can only safely receive a vaccine our government no longer buys)- is to "get infected to avoid infection" which is obviously bad advice. So, I wear an N95 everywhere in public instead.
Look I am clearly a heavy social media user but I also don’t need to validate my social media use by imagining that a politician having someone on their team who is good at making memes means that they would be a great president and have good policy ideas Like please be serious
