we talk a lot about finding porn in the woods but nobody ever talks about the trash bags filled with leftover gore, bones, and body parts that people hide the tension surrounding the tentative probe to make sure it's deer and not guy before you call it in is I think key to the experience

a real question for the roberts majority is what in their view distinguishes jim crow disenfranchisement from majority-minority districts? a related question is what in their view made the typical jim crow law — which was facially neutral — unconstitutional?

I think two things are true:

2. young republicans become openly hitler-loving groypers is in fact a new and alarming development that is worth paying attention to

couple statements so my beliefs are clear:

- if you decide you’re trans, then you’re trans.

- neopronouns & xenogenders are hella cool.

- everyone should be able to get HRT if they want.

- you don’t need to medically transition or have dysphoria to be trans.

- liberation not assimilation.

Comment period ends Oct 20 and the comments so far OVERWHELMINGLY favor adding checkpoints for voter registration. please if you have a moment go in and comment that adding barriers to registration only contributes to voter suppression, and that noncitizens already can’t vote.

This is Chicago, armed fascist thugs pointing guns at unarmed US citizens.

Armed officers in military-style gear confront a group of civilians during a tense outdoor standoff; one officer points a rifle at a young man who raises his hands defensively while others shout in the background, with trees and houses visible behind them.
