A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...

My California peeps- PLEASE don't be fooled by the Epstein class. Vote YES on Prop 40- the one-time wealth tax on ONLY billionaires Vote NO on Props 41 and 42; both developed to stop Prop 40. Your retirement funds & savings r NOT at risk. Prop 42 in particular makes future wealth taxes harder

Check out our voter guide for the propositions. Also be sure to not vote for even a single Nazi (aka vote for zero Republicans)!

Just in case anyone was feeling too hopeful about the democrats

Josh Turek of Iowa, Democrat, comes out with one of the worst anti-trans ads yet. Not only is it an anti-sports ad, it proposes a ban on federal funding for gender affirming care. That would hit all medicaid and medicare patients, and any ACA federally-subsidized plans as well. Horrific.

He had also fast tracked the whole sale destruction of The Amazon. Displacing indigenous peoples and endangered wildlife over money making heartless farmers. He is a fucking monster.

I'm volunteering for abdul & i encourage anyone who has the time and feels angry to volunteer time for a person or bill up for the vote next month. Just one time. One afternoon. One phone bank. A couple social media memes that you are prepared to discuss. A conversation with neighbors. Just 1 thing

I honestly don’t know much about El-Sayed, but this is a perfect answer from him. It’s also hilarious that Tommy used to work for Josh Hawley and was paid 250k for influencer marketing AGAINST El-Sayed. They might want to get a refund. What a spectacular backfire. The walk of shame at the end. 🤣

And these are the assholes that rant over protecting free speech. I know the First Amendment only applies to the government but these assholes are always claiming to support free speech but clamp down on those with opposing views.

Tomorrow I turn 50. Two years ago I didn't think i would make it this far, and here i am! No parties planned, no presents procured. Just being alive is present enough.

Netflix is laying off 1,000 workers — its largest layoff ever. In 2025, Netflix had a net income of $11 billion (up 26%). Its CEO was paid $53M (255x more than the median employee). And it just raised prices for the second time in just over a year. Corporate greed in a nutshell.

I don't get any of it. People still buy teslas, they still shop at Walmart and Amazon and Whole Foods and Target. We have control of where we spend our money and people don't even try for one day

Reading about Musk’s possible interference with Ukrainian operations and donating $300+ million to Republicans in 2026 alone then reading how many people are still buying Teslas is hard to square. There is no reason to buy a Tesla in 2026. Plenty of other great EVs to choose from. #ev

Mentions of "Fauci" on X have mostly vanished since the data centers in Russia were destroyed by Ukrainian bombs. SMITE!💥

I can't give much more. I'm disabled and have no permanent income... a lot of people i see giving to the remaining humans in gaza are the poorest people i know while those with the funds ignore it. Give to organizations if you don't trust the families but damn- this is genocide. Please help!

I'm volunteering for one of the campaigns of a democrat in a swing district (one of the few who isn't anti-trans), and it seems like there are a LOT fewer people volunteering than there used to be. ... this is shocking and opposite what i was expecting. We only have weeks! Find ways to help!

i will keep saying that cis people will simply ignore any law they feel like until everyone is forced to stop pretending "sanctuary" states have been doing anything other than corporate marketing. they'll ignore the rest of the law too, just give them time 🏳️‍⚧️

Colorado & Michigan have become the latest blue states to end Medicaid coverage for trans youth. Solidly blue Colorado will also be IMMEDIATELY shutting off care for all trans kids receiving puberty blockers—despite Trump's rule allowing a 6 month ‘tapering’ period. This is a complete betrayal.

It’s bad enough that Gavin Newsom opposes California’s Prop 40. But he also supports Prop 42, a billionaire-backed poison pill that would cancel out Prop 40 entirely and make it impossible to enact future wealth taxes. It’s clear whose side he’s on. Remember this in 2028.
