I really resent my tax dollars being spent on this

my offer to america: we bring woke back

Okay now Sens. Cory Booker and Chris Coons (a Yale Divinity School grad) are literally just having a lengthy discussion of scripture and the Bible on the Senate floor right now.

Religious left: still a thing.

it's important that today we put our differences aside to come together and say eat shit Strom Thurmond you desiccated corpse

old Soviet joke for our times:

Guy stops by the newsstand every day, scans the front page, doesn’t buy the paper. One day the vendor asks what he’s up to.

Guy says: “looking for an obituary.”

Vendor says “those are towards the back of the paper, comrade.”

Guy says: “not the one I’m looking for.”

I think my biggest problem with the "debate" over whether Democrats should abandon trans people is how divorced from reality it is.

Republicans are banning gender-affirming care because they think kids are being rushed into surgeries. THIS IS NOT HAPPENING.

“Make America Healthy Again is an emotional, not an intellectual, movement. It is based on a fear of cultural and technological change, and it yields to charisma instead of bureaucracy,” Jessica Grose writes.

Schiff and Padilla's Washington inboxes are full, and Schiff's campaign office inbox is also full. Padilla's local office inboxes are still recording. FYI.

I will never stop being mad about how the media has treated the anti-trans movement as a group of ordinary people with legitimate concerns rather than the obvious frothing bigots they are.

Can't believe we're getting an unelected charter school marketer as school board president

Omg you guys it’s our first Bluesky Earthquake day 🥲

the lesson of the election isn’t “we should give up on trans rights,” it’s that the GOP took an issue that negatively impacted almost no one and made it a headliner. why would it help to surrender on an issue if they can create a grievance from thin air?
