Facebook post by Nekima Levy Armstrong: "Friends, A Breaking News headline just appeared in the Star Tribune, claiming that the national Target boycott ended today. This is false. The writer of the story, Carson Hartzog, is fully aware that the Target boycott was launched in Minneapolis on February 1, 2025. I have spoken to her several times since then, yet she failed to reach out to me, Jaylani Hussein, or Monique Cullars Doty, the three founders of the national Target boycott for the story. Carson even used the photo from our press conference that includes my daughter, Assata Joy and Ms. Rosemary Nevils, an elder in our community, to try to add legitimacy to a bogus story. I am once again disgusted by the Star Tribune and their attempts to minimize and erase the voices of our community. The nationwide Target Boycott is not over, unless and until Target reverses its decision to rollback Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, as we said from the beginning. “Pastor” Jamal Bryant does not speak for us or our community and has zero authority to end the nationwide boycott of Target, a company that is headquartered in Minneapolis. Please don’t believe the hype and these attempts to rescue Target from the effects of capitulating to the Trump Administration. Target rolled back DEI because of Donald Trump. They donated $1 million to the Trump/Vance inauguration committee. Target also allowed ICE to stage in its parking lots during Operation Metro Surge. The nationwide boycott of Target is successful and it will continue. Please continue to shop elsewhere."

Nekima on the Target boycott.

I hate how there's infinite money for war and cops, but not the things we need in life

4th Circuit Rules That States Can Compel Trans Adults To "Appreciate Their Sex" Via Care Bans They ruled that states "encouraging citizens to appreciate their sex" through care bans is a constitutional goal, affirming West Virginia's Medicaid ban for trans adults.

1. Horrifying ruling out of the 4th Circuit.

An all-Republican 4th Circuit panel has just ruled that states can compel trans adults to "appreciate their sex" by enacting care bans.

It even directly says that trans adult care bans are legal in the ruling.

who else

AOC came out swinging against age verification legislation and somehow the entire tech press seems to not have noticed?

If the Dems who win in the 2026 midterms get squeamish about prosecuting this administration, we'll need to elect a bunch of new people running on Nuremberg shit for 2028. This isn't a joke. It's the law. It's justice. Biden let Trump back in the WH and this happened because Joe didn't do his job

I never call the mayor because I fucking hate his voicemail message but I left him a VM this morning. Everyone should call.

Lots of them throughout the years, but a big one was realizing that if they were right and most aborted babies would be born to non-christian parents, and all babies were innocent and went to heaven

logically, wouldnt being pro-choice be the most compassionate choice with the most people in heaven?

Biden and Harris knew Trump was running again, they had majorities in the house and senate at first and did NOTHING to prepare for him gaining control again. Its so much easier to blame people for youre failings than to do literally anything, i get that.

But this is why i longer plan to vote dem.

I am so tired of hearing libs blame leftists for not voiting for her bc

a) most of us did! the people i heard vocally planning not to were those in already solidly blue states

and

b) how are we responsible for the failings of the Democratic party and/or their presidential candidate.

Kamala was never leading during the 2020 primaries.

We didnt get to have primaries in the next election, because Dems dragged their feet on convincing Biden to step down, despite his unpopularity and clear loss of ability.

As the campaign wore on for her, she sounded more and more centrist.

Awesome! I hope you enjoy it!

Just got back from Victor Jones at the Amsterdam. What a great show. I'm going to be thinking about it for years.

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

Like clockwork.

Still funny to me that i grew up thinking things like "sentient robots SHOULD be able to vote" and now im like "i hope every ai data center burns to the ground "

i wish we had UBI and proper healthcare and that people on disability weren’t forced into poverty

i wish disabled people could be safe and happy and taken care of

and that there were social supports for all our needs
and a cultural understanding of chronic illnesses

Calling states "red" and "blue" based on presidential results not only ignores the partisanship of other statewide votes but also ignores how lousy those descriptors are at the presidential level.

Fossil fuels were the future, once.

I did give it up, but it sucks. There is honestly no video app that Ive found that is close to it in terms of usability, let alone the huge scale of content.

Ive been using YouTube shorts, but theyre kina awful, full of spam, and they keep showing me the same vid multiple times.

Doctor: I consent to treating you with this

Patient: I consent to this treatment

Jesse: Ummmmmm isnt there someone youre forgetting?

I'm sorry, Jesse but i guess i just tend to trust my doctor over a "journalist" who ran crying back to Twitter because people on Bluesky didnt buy into his bigotry.

Let me get this straight: Jesse Singal is mad that a doctor is willing to prescribe medication to a patient without Jesse's approval?

It cheaper than getting cancer, I can tell you that right now.

My transition costs are about $50 a month. If I was able to afford to treat my ADHD, that would likely be ~$300 a month.

I have one to two surgeries i would like to have. They cost less than buying a new car, last I checked.

Many people even get surgeries overseas for affordability

I wish more people understood that trans people are concerned about the cost of trans healthcare bc we are likely to be POOR and because accessing healthcare in general is prohibitively expensive, not because doctors are making so much money on us.

Layoff protections should be given to employees as part of any acquisition.

You shouldn’t be able to buy up companies, stripmine them, and jettison the staff that made those companies valuable. That’s SUSPECT behavior, and should be fucking treated as such.

Got it. I'm sorry for your loss. To clarify: You want a eulogy for your father that's 𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗲, sounds 𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘁, and captures the 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗵𝗶𝗺. I get it. He wasn't just your father — he was your Dad. Here a few options I came up with:

9. The message from Democratic voters is not subtle. Abandoning transgender people does not win you new supporters—but it may win you an uphill primary challenge you are likely to lose.
