Assigned's mentions for this post are flooded with people who want to jeer at Biden so may I just say: When a Democratic former president makes a point of standing up for trans rights in a situation where he is absolutely not required to do so, for God's sake, just take the W.
6 Dec 2025 @rikiwilchins.bsky.social -- Biden, generally a lukewarm backer of trans rights as President, uses Intl International LGBTQ+ Leaders Conference speech to slam Reps/Trump for turning trans rights into "political football...into something scary, something sinister."

Red Lobster never released a commercial with a jingle that went “Shrimply having a wonderful Fishmastime.” That’s why they went bankrupt.

We will never, ever restore a constitutional democracy unless we burn SCOTUS to the ground. First day Dems have the trifecta, it’s gotta be end filibuster, approve a slate of 12+ additional judges — no hearings, just vote — and then 3) start building a New Republic. Otherwise what’s the damn point?

This is the same university that rescinded a res life job offer to me when I was a grad student after they found out I was gay and partnered.
Northwestern University offered bland reassurance to trans students and faculty after signing a deal with the Trump administration that sacrificed them for restored funding.

On your deathbed, you will probably not be thinking, "at least I totally owned those trolls on social media," and if you are it's unlikely there will be anyone there to hold your hand as you go
The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

The White House’s new anti-media website includes denunciations of:
-ABC, which bribed the president
-CBS, which bribed the president and moved away from fact-based journalism trying to appeal to him and his fans
-WaPo, which spiked a Harris endorsement and tilts coverage in Trump’s favor
Fools.

Why haven't the Dem States across the USA instructed their Police to set up Check points outside ICE facilities and only allow ICE to enter with victims if they produce a legal warrant for detaining the person that matches the victims name.

I think Democrats should double down on trans rights now. It's obvious that most voters don't care about it so you might as well stick with your principles and goad Republicans into focusing on it at the expense of everything else so they're the ones who look like freaks.

I have two opinions on the Hall of Fame ballot
1. Chase Utley is a Hall of Famer and voters need to stop fucking around.
2. It is objectively funny to have some real core Phillies in Abreu, Hamels, Rollins, and Utley AND cameo Phillies Gio Gonzalez, Howie Kendrick, Hunter Pence, and K-Rod

This is your reminder that:
1. We cannot make the United States a Constitutional Republic again unless we unpack the Supreme Court.
2. We cannot make the U.S. a representative democracy without expanding the House and banning partisan gerrymandering.
