Stop letting unfunny men tell you there’s something wrong with you for not getting their “jokes”. Stop fake laughing. Let their reality reflect the truth of how fundamentally they misunderstand humor. Neuter their ability to use “it was a joke” for emotional cover. Make them see nobody laugh.

Really is infuriating how we kept being told by Dems that there was nothing Biden could do about abortion or trans folks for years and now Trump is basically making himself king of the US via executive fiat.

Just a reminder of some of the context around the TikTok ban: In 2020, Trump tried to ban it via executive order a couple months after K-pop fans used it to organize fake signups to Trump’s Tulsa rally, which led him to publicly overestimate how large the crowd size would be.

Octavia Butler couldn’t see the future. She saw what was happening in front of her and, in addition to studying the past, was able to imagine where it would lead. It’s important to tell the truth about her because mythologizing her is a disservice to her legacy.

The Missouri GOP is proposing SB 72, which includes a "certified bounty hunter program" to pay private citizens to track down undocumented immigrants.
It also mandates involuntary DNA collection and the creation of anonymous tiplines with paid rewards per arrest.
