This International Women's Day, please remember that trans women are women. Full stop. No qualifiers.

I’m going to keep saying this - nobody gets a Nazi tattoo by accident because shops willing to do Nazi tattoos will chat with you enthusiastically about the Nazi tattoo and you’d be amazed how much Nazi shit can be communicated even when the people in the convo speak different languages

I think that's true of pretty much every piece of media that's been revived or continued years after it ended. I would rather see new and creative shows than nostalgic rehashes that can never possibly live up to the originals.

Democrats may not be able to prevent Mullin's confirmation, but they can certainly turn his track record of offense and stupidity into two days of televised humiliation so spectacular that he is wounded in Trump's eyes from day 1. That is the job.

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.

But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.

PEPFAR, the program to stop hundreds of thousands of children and adults from dying of HIV/AIDS, was $6.5 billion a year.

this should be the end of the Gavin Newsom 2028 discussion. the party has spoken, full stop

Jesse Singal: β€œI don’t understand why all these experts with degrees keep disagreeing with me. So demoralizing. What could the explanation be??”

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

The thwarted plot by Haman never happened. The story of Esther is a fable. We have pretty good records of Achaemenid kings and none seem to have had a main Jewish queen or any really.

Infuriating. Just infuriating to see them justify war like this

I appreciate this. I do.

And where was Thom Tillis when he could have voted to convict Trump and thus bar him from holding office.

Where was Thom Tillis when regular folks tried to do what he lacked the courage to do and remove Trump from ballots.

Where was Tom Tillis when Noem was nominated.

Donald Trump's badly slurred, incoherent explanation for war with Iran raises new questions about Joe Biden's advanced age.

So what I'm getting from this is that They Might Be Giants invented the selfie stick.

Imagine if Joe Biden started a war and then tried to explain it to the press, only to start rambling about his gold drapes and a ballroom. Fox News heads would explode.

i think its also pretty important to remember that the US Very Extremely Does Not Want A Strong Democratic Iran. they want a weak and geopolitically irrelevant wasteland. Iran used to be a strong democracy and they fucking slaughtered it which eventually created the theocracy to begin with

Some of yall are getting a little too comfortable with your antisemitism that yall are trying to cloak around being anti-impearlist.

Is Graham Platner a Nazi? to be fair I don't know whats in his mind, but I thought a little history of Platner's connections to actual Nazism, leaving aside any questionable posts unrelated to that, would be helpful. Lets begin shall we?

I do not like this gen AI
I do not like what it implies
I do not want it in my art
I do not think it makes you smart
I do not want it in my games
I do not like its goals and aims
I do not want it in my books
I do not like the way it looks
I do not like it, I don't care
I do not want it anywhere

The horror of Israel’s atrocities in Gaza has enabled me to convince many of my Boomer Jewish relatives to be more critical of Israel, and not to reflexively assume pro-Palestine activism is antisemitic.

If Platner becomes the leading anti-Israel voice in the Senate, that work disappears overnight.

Christians United for Israel has over 10 million members. As of 2020, the estimated population of Jews in the U.S. is 7.5 million.

But, sure. Keep talking about AIPAC. It allows you to blame Jews for the world’s problems.

Fuck Trump. Fuck the puppeteers behind him. Fuck the GOP, especially congressional Republicans and quisling Democrats, who enabled him. Fuck the people who voted for this, and fuck the media for never reporting on him realistically.

Fuck them all, for they have truly fucked us and the world.

It's almost impossible to comprehend how many people have died now because a racist reality star just couldn't deal with having a popular black president.

I can't fucking believe we're doing this again.

if the media had any integrity β€” and it doesn’t anymore β€” they’d be pointing out on a loop that Obama made a deal with Iran, Trump cancelled it because Obama is Black, and then Trump started a war on the pretense there is no deal
