Imagine living your life in constant fear of anything not being white men. Sounds exhausting and pathetic.

A meme. Top panel is Pam Bond, US AG, "Don't you ever challenge my integrity. DO not question my ability to be fair and impartial."

Bottom Panel is Tyrion Lannister, game of thrones character. "I'm not questioning your honor. I'm denying its existence." A scene from the show.

There is simply no equivalent, not even close, of this anywhere on the center or far left. There is no ‘both sides’ here, media.

"Together, the messages reveal a culture where racist, antisemitic and violent rhetoric circulate freely — and where the Trump-era loosening of political norms has made such talk feel less taboo among those positioning themselves as the party’s next leaders."

Can't call them fascists?

A woman who publicly spoke about Poppy's abuse of her child becomes a "Stalker".

Former friends & partners who also spoke about such abuses become "Sycophants".

A person who doxxed two trans women on Poppy's behalf & may have committed defamation in the process becomes a "Low-Income Friend".

This is directly downstream from Trump destroying the capacity for rapid federal response to natural disasters. He sits on it and doles it out at his leisure sometimes months after the fact. You can see him do it routinely on Truth Social.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

The trailblazing transgender rights activist Miss Major has passed away at the age of 78.

Miss Major was a lifelong organizer and participant in the ballroom scene. She took part in the 1969 Stonewall Riots and was injured by the police — but she kept fighting.

“This minority group wants to rip my womb out” would be horrifyingly bigoted towards most other groups, but apparently if it’s against trans women you can make it the basis of a cartoon.

The drag queen bursts into tears when it seems like the womb symbol (that she's been desperate to possess for some time) is going to disappear. She says 'you bitch!' then the protagonist re-manifests the labrys and beheads her.

Things to do in the future:

1. Putting them all on trial for crimes against humanity at the Hague

2. Totally reforming entire government to root out corruption and abuse of power so this bullshit never happens again

3. At some point you’d imagine, brunch

The war on rainbow crosswalks has come to Texas.

After DeSantis cracked down and tore up rainbow crosswalks across Florida, the community has resisted in protest.

Now, Abbott is doing the same in Texas, seemingly at the direction of Libs of Tiktok.

1. As some Democrats have run from transgender rights, Zohran Mamdani is showing what so many others have lacked: courage to lead with his values over pandering to focus groups.

The fact that top Republicans are already fearmongering about, lying about, the No Kings rallies this Saturday, across the US, tells you how worried they are about public pressure and protest against their reactionary, autocratic, anti-American agenda.

The propaganda effort at CBS News has begun in full force.

There's this absurd hit piece saying his election would cause a large exodus at the NYPD.

A paused CBS News video features a close-up of a bearded man in a suit speaking outdoors. Video controls are visible over the image. The headline below reads about NYPD officers worrying about someone becoming the NYC mayor. The CBS News channel name and subscriber button appear at the bottom.

Fenway health in Boston has stopped providing gender affirming care to trans youth.

I was previously on the board of this organization and I've never been so disgusted with their leadership cowardly capitulating like this.

Alt text:
Statement from Fenway Health explaining that due to new federal requirements effective October 1, 2025, they can no longer provide medical gender-affirming care such as hormones and puberty blockers to patients under 19, but all other services for patients of all ages will continue unchanged.

Híŋhaŋni wašté,

Columbus was a murderous genocidal rapist, sex trafficker and slaver. His "Legacy" is violence and brutality. Never, ever, celebrate him.

Instead, on this day, celebrate Indigenous Peoples around the world.
