You really have to watch the whole thing. Booker clearly had no idea he was going to be asked real questions.

"they've always been like this" is always a tempting savvy take but it is just not true that Republican staffers were 100 percent open Nazis back in 2004, or hell even 2014. they just weren't

Michael Caley @michaelcaley.bsky.social · 5h

there have been a lot of responses to this arguing that young Republicans were motivated by such feelings but didn't express them openly

and I think a crucial lesson of the Trump era is that there is great value in people not expressing these things openly! that's a big and decisive change!

For those tempted to say Young Republicans have always been this way, they really have not. When I worked on campus and did bipartisan college events after, they were very much not like this.

That’s why groups like YCT and eventually TPUSA formed — because Young Republicans weren’t radical enough.

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.

Trans women are famously the group of people who are so decadent they need to do crowdfunding for the bare necessities every month.

If women’s autonomy over their own bodies is the first thing you attack, maybe goddamn sit with your feelings. Quietly.

Are women bourgeois?

Transsexualism as we conceive of it in America is bourgeois, the product of a society that venerates the freedom of an individual to choose. There is no designer vagina under communism, I'm sorry.

Reading Miss Majors Speaks was an incredibly moving experience last year. I can't recommend this book enough for those unfamiliar with her work.

Rest in peace 🖤

Miss Major Griffin-Gracy passed away today according to the House of GG. She was a veteran of the Stonewall rebellion and a lifelong organizer for the safety and dignity of trans people, sex workers, and the incarcerated. She came from the same generation and milieu as Marsha and Sylvia. She was 78.

"I think I had two stories in my head. One was we're gonna sell a hundred copies and that's it. I'm gonna have to go back and work at Domino's Pizza or whatever. But the other one was like, 'Man, this album feels so powerful, so moving and special to me. I think we're gonna find a big audience, and this is gonna be an important record.'" – Rivers Cuomo, CBS News, 2024
"Rock bands were getting more and more outrageous with tattoos and piercings. We came out completely clean-cut, four guys standing in a line, singing songs in major keys, about girls or whatever. It didn't quite make sense how that was the next step for rock and roll." –Rivers Cuomo, CBS News, 2024
"If you really want to understand the Blue Album — not just the illusion of the Blue Album that we sold — you have to take it in the context of what happened right before it, which is that I moved to L.A. from Connecticut after high school with the intention of making it with my heavy metal band." – Rivers Cuomo, Los Angeles Times, 2024

“The other far-hipper employees at Tower Records kind of educated me. I remember they played “Sliver” for me, [by Nirvana] and I was immediately in love. It had the aggression that I needed from my upbringing as a metalhead, but paired with strong, major-key chord progressions and catchy, emotional melodies and lyrics that felt so nostalgic and sweet and painful. It just sounded like it was coming from the deepest part inside of me—a part which I hadn’t yet been able to come close to articulating in my own music.” – Rivers Cuomo, American Songwriter, 2024
"It’s like, 'Oh, my God. This is so beautiful to me. And I identify with it so much.' Hearing [Kurt Cobain] sing about Mom and Dad and Grandpa Joe, these personal family issues, in a really heartbreaking kind of innocent, childlike way, over these straightforward chords in a major key." – Rivers Cuomo, GRAMMY, 2024
"When we made the 'Blue' album, I saw myself in a completely different light. I thought we were going to be the next Nirvana, that we were going to be taken very seriously as an angst-filled rock band. And I was completely shocked and surprised and disappointed when we put the record out to find that the press story was: 'This is a band of geeks.'' That story had never occurred to me. But it was universal around the world, that's what everyone said about us. So I guess it must be true. I just don't fit in and I don't even realise it. Put me in the wider society and I stand out as a misfit.” – Rivers Cuomo, Louder Sound, 2024
"I got their [demo] tapes from Geffen Records when I was out in LA working on another project. I listened to it in the car and just thought it was ph
