It is so hard to be trans right now, y’all. Like, I can’t speak for everyone but I’m white-knuckling it pretty much constantly at this point. I hope cis people are understanding how much is at stake for us in this moment: It’s literally our right to exist as ourselves that is being stripped away.

A circular enamel pin with a black border reading 'I LOVE MY TRANS FRIENDS' surrounding the blue, pink, and white transgender pride flag.
The government seems hell-bent on making life miserable for a very small and very harmless portion of the population, so today's Low Quality Ad is for this I Love My Trans Friends pin. Just be nice to people. It's not hard. It is actually very easy.

Is it legal to film ICE agents? Yes. The First Amendment protects your right to film ICE in public, and you cannot be punished for that alone. If you are in a public place, you have the right to record ICE and other agents, as long as you don’t interfere with or obstruct their operations, or break another valid law while you’re filming. If you are on private property, owners can set their own rules about photography and filming.
Our rights aren't up to ICE agents to decide.
I'm starting to think if I say "ICE has not left Minnesota" (which of course is true!) I should also say "ICE has not left Chicago" and "ICE has not left LA" because I think the point is that ICE wants to occupy a lot of places at this scale so that it just becomes reality, it's not just Minnesota.
The Trump administration could really restore confidence by getting the entire Cabinet to ride a tanker through the Straits of Hormuz to show everyone how safe and easy it is now.
They could bring along a lot of MAGA influencers and Fox News hosts to broadcast it all live!
Certain dudes are still upset with me when I said in 2012 that here in the US, being a straight white male is living on the lowest difficulty setting of life. From here on out I'm just going to refer them to these DOGE staffer depositions, and then tell them to go fuck themselves.
This is true, but Rogan is still very much a Trump guy. He spent 5-10 minutes on Iran in his last few pods, in which he also promoted the SAVE act, said Minneapolis ICE resisters are paid protesters, and suggested there’s no difference between a king and a president www.nytimes.com/2026/03/11/u...

I sometimes worry that too many people think being a good critic means being a self-righteous dick about every little thing and I think far too many miss the point that you can't critique anything if you don't know how to love something.
BREAKING: Former military lawyers say use of JAG lawyers in Minnesota violates the Posse Comitatus Act.
Although recent litigation has focused on troop deployments to American cities, a new challenge in Minnesota looks at DOJ's use of JAG lawyers in non-military cases.
New, at Law Dork:
A DOGE staffer assigned to the National Endowment for the Humanities to flag grants for "DEI" tries to explain what "DEI" is. This deposition is part of a lawsuit by the @acls1919.bsky.social, @historians.org and @modernlanguage.bsky.social.
The DOJ released evidence, which the FBI deemed credible, that the President of the United States sexually and physically assaulted a 13 year old girl AND she was afraid to talk about it because Trump would kill her—and it’s somehow not the biggest scandal in American history?

Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.
I get yelled at for saying this but for many hundreds of years people went to university not to get diplomas or be employable but because immersion in the humanities was considered foundational to a good life, and school must return to its original purpose: the joy of learning.
Memphis is being poisoned to power Grok regurgitating text statistically similar to the nazi propaganda it was trained on.
Btw: he only applied for a permit for 15 gas turbines, and then put at least 24 on site.

“…thermal images captured by Floodlight – and analyzed by multiple experts – show more than a dozen unpermitted turbines still spewing pollutants at the plant nearly two weeks after the EPA’s recent ruling.”
Even if it takes years, we have to bring EVERYONE who made this happen to justice. No moving on, no letting this go.
Revenge is good enough motivation for me personally, but the nobler and important reason is to ensure that anyone who thinks of doing this again knows they’ll rot in prison for it.
