The fucky thing about Newsom and his defenders is this talking about how "Trans people in sport is unpopular." But they fail to take thst idea further (which conservatives have taken it) and miss that Healthcare for trans people is being picked apart.

Wake up Democratic Party old guard establishment. This isn’t about New York City. This is the way the wind is blowing. Step aside for young people who this country will need over the next several decades long after you are gone. Enough with your egos and the big money interests.

If it's any sign of how desparate I am for Democrats to get their heads out of their asses, I emailed my reps to tell them to support Jasmine Crockett for house oversight committee.

I can't imagine being such a sad miserable sack of a human that this is something they consider a legitimate complaint.

Taken from reddit. I know the general vibe is that Dems aren't doing enough, but it's still surprising to see celebrities say the same thing.

Every mainstream attempt to grapple with the rise of Tate and other misogynist ideologues have posed them as a product of men’s despair. Few have posited them as an assault on women’s safety and dignity.
We need to talk more about how it feels to be a woman amidst this sudden onslaught of “reclaiming masculinity,” celebrating male aggression and violence, and vanishing smart experienced women from positions of power.

Ted Cruz said he’d found $2 billion in “woke” science grants, but his team used keyword searches that flagged things out of context, like a grant to develop a device to treat severe bleeding that mentioned “victims” and “trauma.”

The New York Times has ID'd 45 people working for Musk's DOGE.

"Few members have formal Washington experience. Many are software engineers. All seem to have a clear mandate: Shrink and disrupt the federal government." www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
Who Is in DOGE? Tracking Its Staffers and Allies in the Federal Government
The Times identified 45 people within the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, a group formed by Elon Musk that in a short few weeks has radically upended federal agencies.

More of this. The fuck are you doing promoting a book when the country is falling apart?
Happening now: protesters are outside the Fine Arts Building on Michigan Avenue in downtown Chicago this evening.

People are in line to see House of Reps Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries for an event tonight promoting his recently released book.

Crowd chanting at them, "we don't need a book tour!"

Interesting to see former #NHPoli governor Chris Sununu make this claim given that at $146K he made more than most professors in New Hampshire and also left politics because he wanted to make more money, which he is doing by shitting on civil servants on CNN

Just got a tip from a guy at the FAA. You'll never believe who is still getting new government contracts while all the contracts at the Department of Education and USAID and other agencies are being nuked from orbit.

After my first month in Seattle, while standing in line at Walgreens, a man crop-dusted the entire line.

It was rank.

On the way out, a very nice woman said "welcome to Seattle." I take it that I'm welcomed here.
