At this point I’m mostly convinced it’s best for legacy media to die. It seems easier to rebuild entirely than to repair.

Wow: JD Vance is apparently skiing in Vermont this weekend and the locals aren’t having it. Thousands have lined the streets in protest.

Finally.

A major media outlet has finally reported on Trump’s total travel ban for transgender visa applicants seeking the United States.

I had to scream for two days to get someone else to report on it.

It is NOT just for athletes.

Our service members are among the best and bravest our nation has to offer.

They are patriots who put their lives on the line to keep us safe.

To demean thousands of transgender service members' sacrifice by removing them is cruel and stupid – and makes us all less safe.
Transgender troops will be removed from the military, Pentagon says
The policy goes further than the trans military ban that President Donald Trump instituted during his first term, which allowed some trans troops to continue serving.

1. Today, the Iowa Legislature shamefully stripped transgender people from the State Civil Rights Act.

It becomes the first state to ever strip any group from a civil rights act.

There were powerful speeches, and huge protets.

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story.

Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver.

This is what "merit" means to them.

I see a lot of people saying now is the time to get out of the U.S. if you can.

Please remember most disabled people can’t leave. It’s incredibly difficult to immigrate to another country when you have documented medical issues. Many are also too sick to endure a move.

We must fight for them.

One thing I did not expect switching from Apple Music to Spotify: the audio quality is *so* much better. Like what the hell?? I was using Apple’s service, on Apple’s phone, using Apple’s headphones, and the audio quality… sucked. And constantly clipped too. I thought my AirPods just sucked.

This new effort to end Section 504 for equal access for disabled people to gov funded spaces is vile, but nondisabled people need to understand this is not the 1st step in trying to kill us:

This isn’t the first regressionist regime in America’s history; it’s the first in a generation however. Shock and awe was their plan. We have to call it out. This is not normal. This is not the new normal. This is abnormal. Trump is a fascist, through and through.

In plain English: Republicans in Congress plot more severe budget cuts to health care, nursing homes, and school lunches to pay for tax breaks for billionaires like Elon Musk.

It sounds absurd, but it’s true.
