If the Venezuelan sailors were enemy combatants, then the 2nd strike is a war crime.

If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder.

It’s that simple.

All this talk about “reclassifying” what counts as a profession is a distraction from the real trend..women-dominated fields like nursing, teaching, social work, counseling, PA programs, physical therapy, are losing funding, while male-dominated sectors keep the capital flowing. This is Project 2025

An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.

🕯️ Today, we remember and mourn the ones we have lost.

We will continue to fight for trans rights and equality while doing what we can to protect our community by holding people in power to account.

To all of our siblings who are struggling, we see you, we hear you and you are loved.

I listened to the Supreme Court's oral argument today so you dont have to

With the notable exception of Alito & Thomas carrying on like 'what if aliens were gonna destroy the world and the only thing that could stop it was a tariff,' the Court seemed Not Into It

Saw a news report yesterday about children as young as 9 being given weight loss jabs on the NHS, and I think it shows just how utterly bullshit the “lack of research into long term impacts” excuse for banning puberty blockers for trans kids really was. It’s purely ideological.

It would be cheaper to spend money feeding people. But our christian country is against that.

“When you start asking if it’s worth standing up for trans people, you’ve already lost the moral argument,” Democrat Dylan Blaha told me in an interview about why he’s challenging an Illinois congresswoman from the left.

Illinois Army captain says Dems are ‘rolling over’ on LGBTQ+ rights. He’s running for Congress to change that
“What’s happening right now to trans people — to the LGBTQ+ community — is not okay. Somebody needs to stand up," Dylan Blaha told The Advocate.

TWIBS: Don’t Believe Jesse Singal’s Lies — Assigned
Writing for The Economist last week, anti-trans journalist Jesse Singal has once again poorly interpreted a study that represents a huge win for trans healthcare as, somehow, troubling news.

A program in Flint, MI, gave $1,500 to any/all pregnant people and $500/month for the first year of their infant’s life.

Among the benefits, those babies experienced lower rates of prematurity and low birth weight, which resulted in fewer NICU admissions, saving the city of Flint $6.2 million/year.

1. In the immediate aftermath of Charlie Kirk's shooting, the WSJ laundered claims that "transgender symbols" were found with the shooter's gun.

Now, a press conference reveals that NO such symbols were found.

WSJ owes a full retraction and apology.
