Maybe if we start calling our body parts gun-sounding names like “revulva” or “shooterus” the GOP will stop trying to regulate them.

extremely proud of this. I overcame my own inertia, publishing industry disinterest, and an alarming political climate and made this thing real. If I wait three years to do it again, the next book will be released into a very different world. Hopefully better!

JD Vance could leave his wife for Erika Kirk and the “sanctity of marriage” people would praise him for “trading up” to a white woman.

“it’s reasonable to ask questions about trans girls in sports” was always intended to mainstream transphobia.

It’s absurd that people fell for it. Democrats are constantly letting oppressors set the terms of debate instead of just saying “no, fuck you.”

If you do not support trans people - by actively dedicating your time and money (if you have it) and voice to their cause - you are a failure of morality and humanity and you are not just a bystander but a culpable participant in one of the most violent attempts at eugenics of our time.

Just want to point out how funny/sad it is that the same people who will refuse to refer to a trans woman as "she" have no problem calling ChatGPT "she."
If we are banning cell phones for kids we need to be talking about banning chatbots for boomers

Trump's response to Rob Reiner's death drips with a tone of just deserts. It reads like a narcissist’s cackle. It is a grotesque response from a man whose boundless and wholly unearned sense of self-worth long ago crowded out any decency.

My column on a new low:

Trump's response to Rob Reiner's death is a vile new low | Opinion
Less than 24 hours after the horrific stabbing deaths of beloved Hollywood director Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele, Donald Trump found a new low.

He’s going to start a war to prevent the release of the Epstein files, isn’t he.
Trump: "Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled ... It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before — Until such time as they return to the USA all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us."

“But the gays and the transgenders are perverts who want to abuse our kids!”
BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families.

The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.

We are parents of a trans kid and our family takes this very, very personally. If you intentionally make life harder for our beloved daughter, it’s EXTREMELY hard to think of you as an ally, to say the least. @amyklobuchar.com - you still send us requests for money, while hurting our kid. Disgusted.
Here are the 28 Dem Senators who voted to advance the first federal ban on trans athletes & a federal definition of sex that would make trans & intersex people non-existent: Angela Alsobrooks (MD), Tammy Baldwin (WI), Richard Blumenthal (CT), Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE), Chris Coons (DE), ->
By a vote of 76-23, S 1071 passes the motion to proceed to the motion to concur. Won't know who voted for this until the roll call is uploaded, but safe to say it passed with the support of at least 24 members of the Democratic caucus. (Rand Paul probably voted nay and Steve Daines has been absent).

As we mourn Rob Reiner, don’t skip this: he was, pretty much, personally responsible for overturning California’s Prop 8 banning same sex marriage.

More Americans got measles this year than Olivia Nuzzi’s book. Guess which got more press coverage. Let's change that.

People lost their jobs for pointing out that Charlie Kirk was racist.
Q: A number of Republicans have denounced your statement on Rob Reiner. Do you stand by it?

TRUMP: Well, I wasn't a fan of his at all. He was a deranged person as far as Trump is concerned.

This is absolutely horrific.
ICE pepper-sprayed this 1-year-old girl.

Once at the hospital, the doctor had to call in a poison control specialist.

They had never seen anyone that young pepper sprayed.

Another horrific story.
