Heads up Pennsylvanians💙
Muh ancient heritage! (Created during the Nixon administration)
Ineffable Wives
Thoughts and Prayers is a weapon they employ to dull that spark in your head of 'something should be done' and smothers it with 'I am doing something, thinking and praying'. Miss tied-for-fifth-place wouldn't be doing it otherwise
If you're in the states, the Better Business Bureau is your friend
Our story also includes a new detail, from @evanurquhart.bsky.social's Bluesky replies. According to Aric Toler of the New York Times, the Minneapolis shooter originally planned to target a underground trans music venue before changing targets to Annunciation Catholic School.
Trans news over the weekend was dominated by one topic: The identity of a mass-shooter. Republicans successfully derailed discussions of gun control and violence by whipping up hatred towards transgender people. That story and more in Leading Off: www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...
IHOP, hu dis?
In the 1990s and 2000s FOX became a dominant cable news network. Propaganda works. Really well.
Fascism is something you do. It doesn’t require an authority figure to judge and label it as such. Narrow definitions only serve to blind people or comfort those who wish to stay blind
Tulsi Gabbard is *very obviously* a foreign intelligence asset and I hope we all live long enough to see her tried and convicted for it.
He's a poison pill. If power brokers and Dem bigots push him to the nomination, losing LGBT+real allies votes means we've already lost you can't be strategic when you can't use a bathroom
The fundamental reason government *exists* is to protect all of its people. If it fails at this most basic thing, then it should be replaced
Blue Hat bigots, basically. It's not a dealbreaker for them
Some monsters wear human skin.
The University College London study also found semaglutide brought about cardiovascular benefits, regardless of someone’s starting weight or the amount of weight that they had lost.
Those willing, by contrast, to trade away the rights and dignity of transgender people or the poor cannot be considered friends of democracy any more than those who were willing to countenance second-class status for blacks and Jews.
RFK Jr: We've made the vaccine available! Reality: We're doing everything we can to make sure you can't fucking get one!

Not even remotely true
Hey magic eight ball, will voters believe it this time when Republicans say they want to kill you?
Actually, Frankenstein is a doctor success at the Venice film festival
Sounds like you should talk to this guy.
It's not weird. It's the NYT doing what they've been doing for decades.
anti-vaxers really are the softest, whiniest little bitches when confronted with the truth
"We are watching and we are taking names." This is where Pritzker has leveled up over his fellow Dems, by promising a future of accountability and retribution for the destruction Trump and his minions are doing to the constitutional order and our individual freedoms. newrepublic.com/post/199800/...
Republicans are just like him though.
There's a urine-soaked fella.
These paypros still need to be pressured over this shit! If you havent made any calls yet, now is a great time to start doing so because theyre only continuing to ramp up their shitty censorous behavior!
www.rockpapershotgun.com/a-culture-of... Essential read. Be sure to boycott Microsoft (and therefore, Xbox) to support the workers risking their jobs to fight against Microsoft's complicity in the genocide
“…I am infuriated that the Air Force plans to grant military funeral honors to Ashli Babbitt. She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it.” My latest in @thebulwark.com www.thebulwark.com/p/honoring-a...
Do the things! You can always return to bed after.
About the only thing Trump hasn't done for Russia is supply them with weapons.
Weird that you would call LGBT 'the far left'. What's up with that?
Do you remember the Colbert Report with Stephen Colbert play acting as a conservative? It's like that, but in reverse with Maher.
ugh.
People saying Trump is dying or possibly dead, but I for one would urge caution, because it is quite possible a second healtbar will appear as he enters his second phase and a gargantuan centipede will burst forth from his torso, so be careful of his new sweep attacks and toxic buildup from bites.
Let's hope they 'no bill' that sucker in about 10 seconds flat
Clap harder
Fine thought, but the party has to dance with those that 'brung em. There's no negotiating with those that would leave a minority behind to chase non-existent centrist bigots.
If we didn't like you at your politicking, we don't deserve you at your videogaming
No, that's too late. Be a citizen, vote for a good candidate in the primaries.
Walz, Pritzker, Beshear, Whitmer, etc. Newsom is the only one who's anti-trans
You have 3 years to learn more about him - try looking for sources that aren't him or his PR people
Be a real Democrat then and vote in the primaries. Make an effort to chose the better candidate.
Newsom is going after the trans community now, despite the fact that he doesn't need to and that it turns off voters. Do you think he would get better in office?
Another morning to say that I will not vote for Gavin Newsom when he inevitably runs for president. If you want my vote, you should make sure to nominate someone who isn't a transphobe.
I hope people realize how absolutely fucked this situation is. This isn’t normal. People are resigning all over the place because the government is mishandling our data, ruining our public health services, and generally making Americans less safe.
If you are okay with this, if you think this is justified, if you think people living on the street have brought this upon themselves, if you think this is good leadership, you may be able to fool yourself that you care about others but you don’t fool me
One of the things the Nazis did when coming to power was push propaganda that Jews were criminals and prone to violence by focusing on crime committed by Jews or fabricating crime they falsely attributed to Jews. The last 36 hours on X has been this on a massive scale against trans people.
Except it's not really the Pentagon. It's Hegseth. It's all Hegseth.
Happier right now facing existential doom than I was in the before times, if that makes any sense?
Oh god, he's one of those 'infuse the blood of chldren into my veins' guys, isn't he
People need to understand just how openly genocidal the rhetoric on the far right is getting towards transgender people. They're openly talking about eradicating us and forcefully mass institutionalizing all trans people. These are people with direct ties to the Trump administration.
We can’t have an accurate conversation about trans identity
House Democrats should introduce articles of impeachment against RFK Jr. Let Republicans defend his lunacy.
Being unfit to hold office most likely. Impeachment isn’t law, doesn’t require the breaking of laws, but it helps if he did. Actually, he lied to Congress though, there’s a law right there that he broke.
Didn’t congress shoot this guy down or was that some other RFK jr handpicked loonie?
Your math is wrong. Add the rest of LGBT and recalculate. The rest of us won’t stand for loss of human rights.
Oh cool, we’ll be going back to violence then?
Did they forget that unions and labour laws were the peaceful alternative to them being murdered?
Deadnaming and misgendering is their bread and butter
Wish he'd have an infarction.
Better than your poison pill candidate who will lose the LGBT vote chasing after imaginary centrist bigots, and will lose the election. There are better candidates. Root for one of them.
Lol. No wait, im sorry. Rofl. I guess your senator isn't the only clown up there.
Erasure, genocide, extermination.
...btw someone shared this in the replies to this thread, in response to someone who took issue with my "Newsom-stan-bots" comment. so I thought I'd add this evidence here: bsky.app/profile/patr...
...if you won't read the whole essay, this one excerpt (there are more if you scroll up & down) should convince you – Dems can't ditch trans ppl without potentially alienating 8% of all voters! bsky.app/profile/juli...
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...
I suggest that if Democrats want to succeed in the future, they should stop listening to "the groups" – you know, the Pod Save Americas & Matt Y's of the world, as they only have their own self-interests in mind...
The only debate is whether the Dems commit suicide by discarding basic LGBT human rights (and votes!) to chase non-existent centrist bigots.
The VAST majority of school shooters are white males. It's time we as a nation face this rather inconvenient truth: the most dangerous gun criminals here by far are white males. #AbolishWhiteSupremacy #BanGuns
Two innocent children are dead and the far right are racing to use it as pretext to further eradicate trans people. This mass shooting had nothing to do with the shooter being trans and everything to do with them being radicalized online by a nihilistic murder cult that worships mass shooters.
He also said at a cabinet meeting to Trump this week that 200 whales were dead because of windmills.
Your math is shit. You’re thinking that trans people are a blip that can be ignored, when it’s all LGBT that the Dems lose if they back Newsom.
Several hundred mass shootings per year now, of course it’s inevitable that our demographic will be represented and villainized in one of them. The only way to stop this, as always, is to go after the guns
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey: "I have heard about a whole lot of hate being directed to our trans community. Anyone using this to villainize our trans community has lost their sense of humanity."
Hi authors! Please remember to file a claim!
A chunk of my nerding was used as a plaster cast on my previously wounded psyche. One I started the process of unfucking myself some of the appeal dropped away. I still dig it but not at the devotional levels of old
seeing barack obama in their precious "whites only" seat in the oval office was the moment the right went all-in. they hated carter and clinton but at least they were white. obama was a bridge too far.
the full fascism timeline has its soft launch in 2000 with the bush coup but it goes full blown fash because america had the nerve to elect a black man to the presidency in 2008 and then doubled down in 2012. the fascists decided "no more" after that.
To highlight the same shit we’ve been saying for at least a month now, here are bullet points from Dr Stryker’s speech below to explain exactly why trans people will not be accepting Newsom. Dems, I’m begging y’all to elevate someone who meets the moment.
This really is misinfo you know
It’s wild how the blue hats took red hat lies as gospel in this particular instance.
The conclusion was ready to go back in January when they announced this, but apparently the supporting bullshit takes a while to bake.
No big deal "It's just till we get in office ..." "It's just sports," "It's just restrooms." "It's just your pronouns." "It's just your name." "It's just your medications." "It's just your job." "It's just your kids." "It's just you."
Interesting. I wonder as the grinder needs more bodies if there’s some critical mass of ethnic Russians that Putin decides he can’t send to war or his thugs in tracksuits lose control
Pity he hasn't been sent to the front yet
Bluesky just deleted my blocklist for transphobes, fascists, and all the other "worst of the worst" people. No email, no warning of any kind. It's just gone.
Oh look, it's the thing every fascist government says about the opposition party before they dissolve them and turn the country into a one party state.
My heart breaks into 10,000 pieces once again.
Appealed and delayed until 2032 no doubt
Their constant propaganda that they spew has dulled their brains to the point that they can't tell the basic differences between socialism, communism, and fascism.
All based on a tweeted accusation made by the same Trump goon that made identical accusations of AG James and Adam Schiff. Not an original thinker, that guy
GOP congressman apparently doesn't know what is a law and what isn't. He should be sentenced to a year of schoolhouse rock videos.
Certainly Bloomberg telling the truth about Trump’s lies is more complicated
