Signalgate 2.0, this time not about plans for attacking Houthis in Yemen, but sending the 82nd Airborne to Portland, Oregon
this is wild: while Stephen Miller's guy was in Minnesota for his uncle's funeral, somebody was able to see his entire phone and take pictures of his Signal group chats talking about military deployments to Portland, and brought them to the Strib (gift link: www.startribune.com/trump-offici...)

They didn't need Charlie Kirk to get shot to have an excuse to up the fascism. They were already fucking doing it. It was in the works the entire time. What the fuck you think Project 2025 is? He's just another dead fucking bigot. That's it.

this is something i keep thinking about. an involved associate is in the oval office — it has to be terrifying for these women to come forward
my mom (non judgmentally) asked a while ago why they hadn't spoken and i said "mom, if it was me, would you be scared?"

Davies: And his biggest brag forever was that he was very good friends with Donald Trump. He had an eight by ten framed picture of him on his desk with the two of them, like they were very close.

Two innocent children are dead and the far right are racing to use it as pretext to further eradicate trans people. This mass shooting had nothing to do with the shooter being trans and everything to do with them being radicalized online by a nihilistic murder cult that worships mass shooters.

America is no longer a functioning democracy. It is a competitive authoritarian system, hurtling rapidly toward authoritarianism.

People need to understand just how openly genocidal the rhetoric on the far right is getting towards transgender people. They're openly talking about eradicating us and forcefully mass institutionalizing all trans people.
These are people with direct ties to the Trump administration.

They're openly calling to lock up every trans person by force. We need every ally to speak out forcefully against this because trans folks cannot do this on our own.

Zohran Mamdani is the happiest politician in America, his whole campaign is about how New York is awesome and can be even awesomer.
Meanwhile, there has never been a politician in history who talked as much about what a shithole he thinks America is as Donald Trump does.

NEW—Earlier this evening agents from ICE/other fed agencies were outside Rhode Island Ave metro in DC asking people exiting the station for their IDs, per someone who experienced it. When the person presented their Real ID license, an agent said that wasn't sufficient. Luckily they had secondary ID.

Republican women would rather die than admit they were wrong on abortion bans. It's mind boggling.

If you ban Calvin and Hobbes you’re a straight up fascist son of a bitch and that’s that
How profoundly sad. The kids deprived of reading Calvin and Hobbes are the kids who need them the most. My brother put it best: "We know we’re fucked when they come for your cartoon stuffed tigers."
