Obviously, things are bad in Texas for trans people, but I gotta say that I think the anger being directed at Ben here is a bit misplaced?

Not having a plan to demine Hormuz is a ‘no winter clothes to invade Russia’ level planning error

If you took your kid to the doctor recently for any reason, there's a one in five chance you walked away with an off-label prescription. Nearly half of all pediatric prescriptions are off-label.

Tommy Robinson is writing for Jerusalem Post, and that makes some people uncomfortable - opinion
When journalism abandons the debate over ideas and focuses instead on policing who is permitted to speak, the search for truth quietly gives way to the enforcement of acceptable opinion.

Tommy Robinson wears a UTK logo ("Unite The Kingdom") on his clothes as he is seen at a rally in solidarity with protesters in Iran on January 11, 2026 in London, England.

Robinson had previously tried to address “the Jewish Question” in a 2022 article which he deleted shortly afterwards. He divided the Jews into two types – acceptable ones and disreputable ones. He particularly had it in for the Anti-Defamation League – in his eyes a cesspit of Jewish liberalism and subversion internationally.

i am going to remind you that people spread misinformation, especially dogpile style misinfo, online all the time for engagement bait and unfortunately it is particularly popular among a certain kind of edgelordy blueskyer. reskeet at your own peril

Guess What Moderate Democratic Voters Aren’t Anymore? Moderate. Two new polls suggest that moderate Democrats, too, want higher taxes on the rich and some measure of economic populism. Moderate isn’t what it was in 1992.

Moderate Democrats with columns in newspapers are constantly saying the Democratic Party is way too liberal on "social" issues. Moderate Democratic voters in real life do not feel this way. With some polling data from @gelliottmorris.com and @dataforprogress.org. newrepublic.com/article/2074...

“Wow he blocked me because he can’t take criticism” that’s correct. This is social media. You’re just some asshole. I am under no obligation to listen to you tell me what to do. Have a blessed day

and it's always misinfo about somebody our community already has an axe to grind about. we've gotta stop falling for this shit

like "didn't you hear SHE's a [insert kind of bigot]????" with exactly zero evidence, or misattributing one person's horrible remark to another person who is more controversial to get that sweet sweet engagement are both common tactics nowadays

idk I’ve seen a bajillion kids movies where the kids parents die & let me tell you, having a convo with my kid about how anyone can die at any time & it doesn’t matter if they’re someone’s mom or dad is way harder than having a convo about how sometimes someone has two dads or whatever. And yet

i was really enjoying Absalom Absalom but its singular dedication to excavating the bleeding interiority of whiteness-as-unrepentant-racism-and-violence made me have to take a break for a bit amid this news. I just couldnt get thru reading yet another dehumanizing description of Black people

I had an absolute blast writing this, and I hope we get to see more epic disabled stories in the future. If you needed a push to read Tank Chair - this is me running you over in my Monster Truck Chair.

this is where Mamdani attempting to manipulate Trump to protect NYC starts to fall into appeasement territory

“At the same time we have to protect what we’ve got”

Like… I’m glad they’re finally saying it. It’s an active decision to not direct this. It’s a capitulation. How can Mamdani be mad at NYU if his hospital system is making the same decision?

07.03.2026 04:29 👍 994 🔁 97 💬 7 📌 2

Listened to this at 6 minutes in or so. It’s not directly stated, but it appears the reason that Mamdani has not directed H+H to absorb trans patients is out of fear of the federal government. “It’s part of the game we have to play with the federal government .”

It’s the EXACT logic NYU is using.
