Weird that we have to say this, but the government doesn’t get to decide what gender a person is.

I love that when I say "the good place" and "the bad place" everyone knows exactly what I'm talking about.

The party that is obsessed with child sex offenders, & is close to a cult that claims child sex offenders run the government, just nominated a guy once investigated for allegedly sex-trafficking a 17 year old girl to be in charge of the country’s legal system.

Beyond parody.

Increasingly looking like the announced Gaetz nomination kills two birds with one stone: It gives Gaetz an excuse to resign, which he did this afternoon to prevent release of the House Ethics report on his conduct, due Friday, while letting Trump tweak Dems into outrage, which he enjoys doing.

I cannot over-emphasize the colossal loser energy of taking a platform where once the biggest stars in the history of popular culture voluntarily posted original content every day because they enjoyed it into a pyramid scheme where the worst dipshits on earth pay to be fake friends with each other.

This kind of service should exist in every city

Toronto just launched it's non-police crisis response service city wide. it's our 4th 911 service, and it provides support for people experiencing mental health emergencies using a consent-based, client-centered, community lead model, without involving police

It’s worth saying that the forecasts from NOAA’s National Hurricane Center are an absolutely vital, life-saving national resource.

It would be a tragedy if Trump’s Project 2025 plan to disembowel NOAA and commercialize all its forecasting operations came to fruition.

do not let this fuckin creep get away with avoiding his past statements on abortion
Facing a tight race, Ted Cruz goes quiet on abortion
As abortion and other reproductive rights loom over the election, Cruz has largely been unwilling to clarify his stances.

on Christian faith, private abuse, and public policy, in The Cut today - an excerpt from my book Wild Faith:
www.thecut.com/article/the-...
Corporal punishment is legal in schools in 17 states, and approximately 160,000 children are subjected to it every year. In many of these states, parents must sign consent forms signaling their willingness to have their children spanked by strangers with hands or wooden paddles - absent the child's input about their own body. The regularity and implacability of physical punishment are two features that abuse survivors remember keenly. "I was young, probably around age 4, and I remember this experience very clearly yet remember almost nothing else from that age," Mary, age 30, wrote to me. "We had been out in public. I'm pretty sure that the initial infraction was I started crying when my dad went to zip up my coat. ... By the time we got home the punishment being dealt was 100 hits without any pants or underwear. My dad didn't skip a single one. I just remember hearing my own screaming and wondering if it would ever end." The belief that obedience to God requires doing violence to children continues to shape American public policy toward children, including in public schools. In March 2023, the Oklahoma legislature was presented with a bill that would have outlawed the physical punishment of disabled students, including slapping, spanking, and paddling. One Republican legislator, Jim Olsen, presented a fierce mien on the statehouse floor as he advocated against the statute. "God's word is higher than all the so-called experts," he said. "Several Scriptures could be read here. Let me read just one, Proverbs 29: 'The rod and reproof give wisdom, but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame. So that would seem to endorse the use of corporal punishment." The bill to protect disabled children failed, 45-43.
