Compare the SC ruling on gay marriage to that on trans passports.Trans existence challenges RW belief that gender=immutable, rests on biology, & determines one’s status. You can’t pick your place in patriarchy: it’s determined at birth! Trans folks undermine fascism in ways gay marriage never will.

Does “Antifa” exist as an actual organization? I always thought it was a vaguely defined collective adjective coined by cops. Which makes it convenient for Trump’s hit men to apply it as widely as they wish.

🦅Good news! Once-rare birds like sandhill cranes, pileated woodpeckers and merlins are making a comeback.
Conservation efforts show how quickly nature can rebound when given the chance.

The surprising recovery of once-rare birds
It’s not every day that you see a 4-foot-tall bird, but it’s happening more often. Several fascinating species are nesting in and near towns once again.

A close friend has the perfect response to the allegation that 10-year-old kids (or whatever age) are too young to know and understand what gender they are. “Maybe all kids, then, should be prescribed puberty blockers."

It’s past time to start calling the American regime genocidal. Not only for rounding up people into concentration camps, but because the foundational logic driving policies is that only “healthy, productive, working” people deserve to live & everyone else is marginal or disposable.

I’m guessing that Clinton’s endorsement helped Mamdani...
If the Democrats were a Major League Baseball team, the manager would’ve been fired long ago and players traded or retired. I mean—terrible wreck Bill Clinton dragged out to endorse sleazy dinosaur Andrew Cuomo? They think that flies?

SO MANY elite liberals refuse to abandon the delusions that Zionism=antisemitism & Dems are losing cuz they’re just too damned inclusive & progressive. Such determined blindness will guarantee more fascism.

The US media doin’ its job, manufacturing consent.
3% of the country was stripped of their health care coverage last night so that we could give billionaires tax breaks and ice a war budget but the nyc democratic mayoral candidate refused to say intifada was a dirty word in all instances so that’s the real issue here.

Serious question: is RFK a sociopath? ’m beginning to wonder if his goal is a genocidal thinning of the US (and soon) global population through the spread of formerly contained or eliminated communicable viruses.

So, will the Democratic Party now throw its massive money and weight against Mamdani in the general election…? (Silly question, I know!)

Netanyahu wants war. But there had been no change in Iran’s position- or in their building of nukes. No urgent reason to involve US. Trump used a massive bomb - “Ordnance Penetrator (MOP)’ for the first time in US combat history. Trump naively posted “ completed”

Please, liberals, let’s not go there! It’s entirely plausible that the American voters who chose to come out elected an authoritarian president.
We have heard how it happened.
my least favorite "oh it must have been stolen" argument is "trump won all the swing states; how likely is that?! it must be rigged."
the country is a single country and electino swings tend to be uniform. there's nothing weird about a candidate winning most or all of the swing states!

Protests are up enormously, but reporting of those protests—other than running clips of burning Waymos—is practically nonexistent.
My team and I at the Crowd Counting Consortium (@djpressman@bsky.social, Soha Hammam, & Chris Shay) have a new piece out: wagingnonviolence.org/2025/06/amer.... In it, we show that through May 2025, the size and scale of anti-Trump protests have dwarfed those in 2017. 🧵
