Why do they think trans folks don’t deserve protection. If it’s religion, I think they grossly misinterpret scripture, but hey I’m just a Mom asking people not to be assholes.
Three days ago, the NYT wrote about Justice Amy Coney Barrett's "leftward drift" on the Supreme Court. Today, Barrett wrote an opinion that would allow Republican lawmakers to do as much state-sanctioned transphobia as their hearts desire ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/skrme...
Amy Coney Barrett Cannot Wait to Legalize Discrimination Against Trans People
Journalists in search of the next “moderate” conservative justice should probably consider other candidates.

They would like lgbtq kids to die. What is in their makeup to make them believe this is a good thing? They don’t believe in an afterlife or they’d be more fearful of fucking this up and causing the deaths of vulnerable people.
Breaking: The Trevor Project received a stop-work order last night on its contract with the national 988 suicide prevention hotline. The Trump administration is eliminating the option for LGBTQ callers to the hotline to press 3 and connect with someone who specializes in LGBTQ mental health.

There are many different conclusions to draw from Musk’s time in Washington and work at DOGE. Jessica Karl might have come up with the only *wrong* conclusion.
US government spending since Jan. 21 “is up 8.7% over the equivalent period in 2024 ..

“.. 7.2% over 2023.” 🇺🇸

You mean to tell me that Chicago gets to claim Michael Jordan, the first Black President AND the first American Pope? Good lord you ain't going to be able to tell them NOTHING.

Somehow I don’t think awareness is the problem.
It's true. Prior to the Great Awokening of the second decade of the 21st century, the American right had never expressed or rewarded racism.
The Free Press is blaming "the excesses of the woke era" for right-wing racism.

Fearless, independent journalism!

You know what would have been empowering? Why didn't the GOP women and other good people vote against nominating Trump at the first convention, after the his rapey audio tape came out? It was within the rules of the party for them to do it. We wouldn't be in this mess now.
Controversial take: This “women empowerment” moment is actually a waste of time and money. Keep your space flight and invest in things women actually need: bodily autonomy, universal healthcare, free child care, medical research that includes women, ETC., ETC., ETC. The list goes on …

I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.

Yet he died believing the novel was a failure. Imagine.

Anyway, when you're wondering if you're good enough to write something, just write the damn thing for your own pleasure. Get it out there. If the world is ready for it, great. If they aren't, who gives a shit?

Just write it.

Senators should go down there & peacefully give them moral support.
FDIC staff should bar them from entering. Full on.
BREAKING — DOGE will descend upon Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) buildings tomorrow, an agency source tells me.

FDIC is responsible for insuring all commercial/personal US bank accounts for up to $250k and regulating banks. Scary in light of Trump’s manipulation of markets this week.

Every damn day, another right-winger or an army of them explains why she made them do it; it's her fault, her being an individual woman or Democrats or.... Not sure what Ackman's getting at, but Brooks is in "they went too far in their antifascism so fascism is their fault" territory.

Do you remember when conservatives wanted to keep government out of our lives?
The president of the NCAA says there are less than 10 trans athletes across all competative college sports.

LESS THAN 10

(also, "globalists" wtf)

Tommy Tuberville: "We have entire men's teams across this country now that are tuning trans. Women's teams are turning trans. That's gonna be a situation where it's gonna pick up speed because these woke globalists are pushing these kids."
