Now that Kirk's killer seems to be caught, maybe the news could spare a moment's attention for the right wing, from the commentariat up to the GOP and president, whose immediate reaction was not mourning, but to seize the opportunity to try to incite violence against groups they hate

Today’s U.S. Supreme Court decision is deeply disappointing and harmful to transgender individuals.

In Washington, we stand up for and support transgender people, including transgender youth. That won’t change as long as I am governor.

Trump released a 400 page document against gender affirming care. There’s no authors attached to it, and the fact that it was completed in under 3 months and the way it’s written, tells me they used AI.
Lol. They released their 400 page US version of the Cass Review and refused to even name who the authors were. It's a glorified book report.

Anyway, this is out now y'all. I'll be looking it over today.

NEW: We're asking a court to expand our clients' recent legal victory to ensure that all transgender, non-binary, and intersex people can be issued passports with the correct gender marker.

1. In a landmark ruling, a federal judge has blocked the passport ban for transgender Americans... government ban likely violates equal protection, and is made with animus.

Though the ruling only applies to plaintiffs, it is expected expand in coming weeks.

Judge Blocks Passport Ban For Plaintiffs, Citing Government Animus And Equal Protection
The federal judge ruled that transgender people's passport changes do not, as the Trump executive order stated, deprive the "dignity, safety, and well-being of women."

The speaker of the house and senate majority leader could end this with a phone call. They’re complicit.

This would be completely illegal. But you wouldn’t know that from reading this post, the headline, or the lede. Unbelievably bad.
Breaking news: Trump is preparing to dissolve the leadership of the U.S. Postal Service and absorb the independent mail agency into his administration, potentially throwing the mail provider and trillions of dollars of ecommerce transactions into turmoil.
Trump expected to take control of USPS, fire postal board, officials say
The move threatens to upend trillions of dollars in ecommerce business and the 250 year-old Postal Service.

There is no compelling state interest in eviscerating protection against sex discrimination for individuals whose gender identities do not align with their biological sex, as such interest would be permitting sex discrimination towards a minority population, in violation of the policy of the State

The winter rains in Los Angeles never arrived this year. The city is a tinderbox, fueled by global warming. Record-breaking tornado winds leave firefighters helpless. The new climate isn’t coming—it’s already here.😪😪😪

“Parents shouldn’t have to fight so hard to make healthcare choices for their own kids”
She 100% only feels that way about vaccines and not gender affirming care.
This level of ignorance is just dangerous. Autism isn’t caused by vaccines, no matter how loud you shout it. Science has been crystal clear, study after study involving 100s of 1000s of kids shows zero connection. The rise in autism diagnoses? That’s because...

Tom is right, we don’t need to be “blue maga”. There’s nothing wrong with criticizing your own party.
I objected to all those pardons. I spoke out continually about Trump's abuse of the pardon power.
And then Biden does this. You've just proven that you don't care about the principle involved - you just like it if *your* guy does it. Which is exactly how Trumpers think, too.
“A terrible stupid move”. Hmm. Compared to pardoning Manafort, Stone and Kushner, sounds fair and reasonable to me.

Biden shouldn’t have pardoned his son, after saying he wouldn’t.
But the next 4 years are going to be so bat shot crazy, no one is going to remember or care.

Being estranged from your family is hard. Especially on holidays. I’m thankful for my roommates hanging out with me today. Last year being alone during Thanksgiving and Christmas was a black hole of emotions. Today was bearable.

Calling Trumps pick of Bondi for AG a “hole in one” is hilarious, because it was his second attempt.
Can’t you just picture Lindsey Graham

Watching Marco Rubio get Secretary of State

Then being passed over for Attorney General

Gritting his teeth as he posted this tweet

Thinking, “After all I did for that stupid motherf*cker, he goes and picks THIS b*tch?!?”

Kamala Harris merely stated that she would follow the law. Prison inmates are guaranteed healthcare. She was merely following guidelines set in place by Trump. If y’all want to take away healthcare from transgender inmates, then change the law. But doing so would be considered unconstitutional.
An old video of Kamala saying she was in favor of taxpayer money paying for gender-changing surgery for prison inmates became a Trump ad played on tv at halftime during superbowl games. She is really a moderate, but she bowed to pressure from the far left on a few issues, which killed us.

Big news out of CA13! If Democrats can hold, on the house majority will be razor thin… Republicans are anything but a united front. With Trump‘s cabinet pics coming from the house, we could see a 217 to 215 Republican house majority. That might be enough to stave off the worst of an extremist agenda

DOJ’s January 6 case was only filed against Trump and not his co-conspirators — presumably to make it streamlined and quick to go to trial.

So now that DOJ is surrendering on Trump — where the hell are the indictments of the unindicted co-conspirators?

They’re not immune!

We had friendsgiving yesterday and a young kid was there, roughly 18 years old. He was talking about being excited for diesel tech school. He said, “after I finish school, I’m gonna make a lot of money.. I’ll work hard for 2-3 years and settle down”. His idea of “a lot of money” was 80k a year.

With msnbc being sold to the highest bidder, mainstream media will be a right wing echo chamber.
I suggest supporting left aligned independent media such as @davidpakman.bsky.social and @briantylercohen.bsky.social .
Comcast has announced they are selling MSNBC. Musk is now talking about putting a bid in for it. Joe & Mika just kissed Trump’s ring. Jack Dorsey sold us out. Are you saying we should put our trust in them? Some of us can’t be bought, at any price, because we care about things other than money.
