Unpopular opinion: I legitimately despise the "Lindsey Graham is a self hating closeted gay/trans person" takes.
It blames an already marginalized group for the actions of a cishet white man with enormous privilege and plays into a right wing narrative of queer people being violent.
Except you never did (you apologized to a random man rather than her), and you’re still conspicuously avoiding using she/her to refer to Parker. It’s painfully obvious why.
Walker. 😕 I’m still angry at the local bar, especially prominent “leftists,” who went to bat for him when he was nominated. Utterly ridiculous.
this is like
the thesis statement of our times
He's a former rural hospital administrator. For all his many, many faults, he's been protective of rural medical care.
The new head of the Department of Homeland Security, everyone.
(He also previously confused Ayatollah Khomeini with Ayatollah Khamenei, so he has his finger on the pulse. We’re clearly in good hands.)
This turns out exactly how everyone except the dummy who decided to do something idiotic and then agree to an interview with Chotiner knows it will turn out
Kentucky friends: I hope to god this isn’t going anywhere, but this appears to be a bill intended to ban trans persons as teachers. This is truly disgusting. apps.legislature.ky.gov/record/26rs/...
Tweet from Ryan Grim: "Understand what Neera is arguing for here: she thinks that no Democratic candidate should appear on any podcast where a host has flirted with conspiracy theories around Charlie Kirk and Israel. I don't think she understands how many podcasts that includes. And if you make the opposite argument, and say no, actually, tens of millions of people love those shows, Democrats should be on them, she says I'm "defending anti-semitic conspiracy podcasters." The good news is that this stuff doesn't work anymore. Save your breath, nobody cares."
I really don't think "There are so many antisemitic podcasts out there that you just can't help but appear on them" is the defense they think it is.
shockingly people are capable of simultaneously,
1. Hating their government
2. Hating the people who bomb and sanction their country, making regular life impossible and murdering members of their family, even more
This Iran situation is demonstrating one thing more clearly than anything else: most people have absolutely no capacity for holding difficult truths in tension with one another.
Just one of the reasons why talking about feminism from an Imperial country about a US enemy is a losing game- they’ll use it to justify bombing girls.
He just can’t rack up enough of a body count with the suicides alone.
*whisper* part of the reason young men are struggling so much with loneliness these days is bc they're losers and the girlies see it and act accordingly. Yes men's mental health matters. Also y'all should address things like this as a community. Help your fellow man out before his bloodline ends.
The collision of bad legal takes and bad gymnastics takes in comment threads on the GAGE suspension on Facebook is a wild ride.
Well that is certainly … a choice.
Right! It's crazy. I'm pleasantly surprised.
I know there's not a lot of the "gymternet" on here, but this is huge, huge news.
As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.
"Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a nearly blind refugee from Burma who Border Patrol agents dropped off at a doughnut shop Thursday and left to find his way home, 5 miles away, has been found dead."
To read the words is to damn all involved, from Trump on down.
Turning Point USA hosted an event in Alabama recently with two leading abortion 'abolitionists' - extremists who want abortion patients punished with the death penalty.
Legislators in over a dozen states (and counting) have introduced their bills.
This is no longer a 'fringe' movement
Border Patrol released Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a 56 yo man, nearly blind with serious medical conditions, at "an old address & his family had since moved" in Buffalo, NY in the winter. "His family was not initially notified." He was found dead. @news4buffalo.bsky.social

The Guy Suing a California Doctor for Allegedly Sending Abortion Pills Into Texas Has a History of Violence Against Women www.jezebel.com/the-guy-suin...
A Republican Congressman sexually harassed a staffer who then burned herself alive, and Jeffries thinks the Democrats have a decorum problem.
They've been so deviously good about this sort of thing for so long that I almost feel bad drawing attention to it. It feels like the guerilla cable TV hacking of the '70s and '80s
