54. Nephew to Dead End Kids. (If you know, you know.) Native NY’er LA-bound Q1’26. Trekkie. Idiot—but like Tony Kushner, at least I’ve never voted Republican.
Yes. I feel such a tremendous sense of relief for me & simultaneously intense guilt for feeling that way given what those motherfuckers have done to our trans kin, *which will not stand*
I'm very pleased to see SCOTUS declined to overturn gay marriage, and kim davis can fuck the hell off forever, but it also kind of underscores the relative gulf in political power between cis gays and lesbians, and trans people. :(

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

It’s time for Andrew Cuomo to make good on his promise and go be one some other state’s problem.

Anyway, Dick Cheney is a fossil fuel now. It's what he loved most. Besides killing.
I'll be skipping any obits that begin "Whatever you think of what he did as Vice President..." It's what you do when you think nobody can stop you that counts.

Monster. He’s waging war on American children. All despised minorities & outgroups are in their crosshairs. SCOTUS has its first conference *next week* on whether to take a case that would overturn Same Sex Marriage.
The White House plans to bar hospitals that treat transgender children and youth from getting any Medicare and Medicaid payments. The move would affect trans youth who have private insurance, too. n.pr/4qFa1mY
Trump pushes an end to medical care for transgender youth nationally

Chicago PD should be given orders to arrest federal agents on sight.
BREAKING: Federal agents fired tear gas at a crowd during an aggressive raid in Little Village with no warning, Ald. Byron Sigcho Lopez told @wttw.bsky.social.
If agents deployed tear gas without a warning, that would violate an order issued by a federal judge two weeks ago.

Vance on public outrage over the "I love Hitler" group chat: "Grow up! Focus on the real issues. Don't focus on what kids say in group chats... The reality is that kids do stupid things, especially young boys — they tell edgy, offensive jokes. That's what kids do."

I am not one to share personal details on my socials but I had to euthanize my beloved Oliver this morning. He was such a good boy. He was a cat who played fetch. Only 13 years old but riddled with cancer… We’re devastated. RIP, my good mister. I love you.

They waged war on that apartment building and all its tenants & got one lousy arrest out of it. The tenants had their apartments ransacked, their property stolen by the ransackers… This cannot continue. This is not civil society. This is a fascist making war on his own country.
Remember when Stephen Miller claimed the Chicago apartment raid was on a building “filled with Tren de Aragua terrorists”?
Well, DHS has now dropped the number of alleged TdA members arrested in the building from 2 to 1.

Oligarch guillotine insurance payments are in arrears. I’m worried the insurance company is gonna cancel their policy. Really, properly worried bc we all know what happens after that: the rest of us suffer & die. The ones without private islands and armies. The ones who actually work for a living.
Remember the French Revolution?
American oligarchs aka: the billionaire class, are the new "aristocracy" for our Republican self-proclaimed KING, telling us to "eat cake now that meat is too expensive for the "servant class" a new epithet designed for today's Americans by Republican fascists.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.
The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.
Read that back.
When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.
