The way trans peoples' lives have been turned into a malicious political applause line is excruciating
"Bill goes to school & comes home Jill"—no, but Bill's family had to flee to another state bc B/Jill faces daily violence & bullying by kids & adults LOL PLS CLAP
My trans siblings I'm so sorry ❤️
El-Sayed: "People like Vance think America is too small for some of us. I think America is big enough. America has been big enough include people whose families came, were here before anybody else showed up, or who were brought here despite themselves. His view of America is small -- small like him"
The leader of the Republican Party supports murderous anti-American war criminal Vladimir Putin. Will Republican candidates be repeatedly asked if they denounce Putin?
The Republican Party's biggest donor also boosts a German Neo-Nazi party. Will Republican candidates be asked if they denounce AfD?
The last two years of this administration are going to be a blood bath and the only thing to debate is how much of it will be literal and how much will be figurative. Sigh.
SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.
Ossoff: "Maybe you saw that Donald Trump was in Dalton yesterday, oblivious to the collapse of his presidency. A crowd smaller than this one enduring two hours of senile babbling while the price of oil hit its 5 month high"
Again, this seems to be Republicans' big closing message for the midterms, so it's worth asking -- what the fuck are they talking about.
Ask any parent with a kid in public schools if they'll so much as give them an Advil without written and signed permission.
Then show them this insane shit.
I always have mixed feelings about these images.
Yes, it's inspiring to see these college students committed to democracy, but the fact that they have to do anything remotely difficult to exercise their voting rights is enraging.
Taking part in a democracy should be as easy as possible.
BREAKING: President Trump cancelled the Pentagon's planned livestream of a firing squad execution after nationwide backlash.
Everyone who spoke out and pressured the administration to reverse course made a difference. But enough is enough — it's time to end the death penalty entirely.
Think about how little your representatives have said or done to defend their colleague Ilhan Omar.
Now try to imagine how little they will do when it's our turn.
"When someone is gang-raped, there appears to be something to defend, and it’s not bodily autonomy; there appears to be something to protect, and it’s not the victim."
Life in this predator's paradise and the problem of shameless people.

People should dox people doing the chop. Put a dozen stop motion pictures of them up at their cubicle with their arm in movement when you flip the pictures fast
This is the most heartbreaking stories I’ve heard in a long time.
ICE detained 2-year-old Orlin Hernandez Reyes’ mother. She begged to be reunited with him before deportation. ICE refused.
What happened next is horrific.
No matter how you feel about immigration, normal people don’t like cruelty.
Trump and Ronny Jackson have a chuckle about the botched execution in Tennessee: "The medication didn't exactly work. He [Jackson] would answer it better than anybody. How does that happen? It shouldn't be very difficult."
I truly don’t understand this “transplant” nonsense. The whole THING about NYC is that ppl come here from other places to mutate into New Yorkers! TO SEE IF THEY CAN BE KING OF THE HILL, TOP OF THE HEAP! Imho a rando who moved here a year ago is the MOST NY person. Welcome Ohio rando, have a bagel
I fucking hate "I don't take sides" people, which is just siding with the oppressor and hoping you'll have plausible deniability. You're not apolitical, you're not neutral, you're just doing this:
According to too many,
there is white and then there is political
there is male and then there is political
there is capitalism and then there is political
there is straight and then there is political
there is cis and then there is political
there is non-disabled and then there is political
Now is a good time for you to sign the petition demanding that the criminal who conspired to endanger first responders, and supported insurrection and election denial, be prohibited from attending 9/11 observances and disrespecting survivors and the city: c.org/DWLWktyGcj
Write it on the blackboard a thousand times: they will have to demolish the ballroom, the arch and so forth. They will have to make a show of it. You will get the usual sons of bitches saying we don’t do that in this country. We do now. That is not emotion, it’s politics. To do less is dereliction.
When this nation’s first president chopped down one cherry tree, he was honest and contrite.
When the current president chopped down a slew of cherry trees, he did so in violation of a court order—and didn’t give a shit.
Ted didn’t notice the name of the account who posted this Dolly clip he retweeted until it was much too late. He finally deleted it after he was made aware.
Liberals say that the leader of our democracy should not be controlled by a 35-year-old stalker with no security clearance. They’re wrong— the leader of our republic should not be controlled by a 35-year-old stalker with no security clearance
President Trump’s medical measurements have been long dissected.
But the president has appeared heavier in photos than he did during his campaign, and the administration said he gained 14 pounds between his most recent annual medical check-ups.
If the ballroom gets built, the next President should just start knocking down the Supreme Court building one day. Throw up some cubicles in the ballroom and tell them they can work out of there until a new one is built.
You cannot appeal to rigorous academic standards and argue for the inclusion of racist pseudoscience, the most fallacious, damaging, and discredited idea of the past 500 years. You might as well teach doctors to recognize the four humors.
