anyway: yet another reminder that consuming media about hot gay men kissing does not automatically make someone an ally & that the wave of popularity for a show where hot naked hockey men kiss each other does not mean everyone who likes the show will stand up when it matters

The "okay gang, let's not get carried away" party thinks we should all temper our expectations
Recent statements from political strategists and Democratic Party insiders seem to suggest that the party’s strategy for the 2026 midterm races — particularly in hotly contested swing districts — will be to focus on economic concerns rather than on holding President Donald Trump accountable.
Polls Undercut Dem Strategy to Avoid Discussing Trump Impeachment in Midterms
Democratic strategists are telling swing district candidates to focus on the economy and to avoid discussing Trump.

This just goes to show how vacuous all those concerns about preserving the status of the Western canon were. Plato is basically the main white-bust-statue guy, but it turns out he's too woke for universities if you actually read him

I need a mood booster, let's talk about capybaras.
Here's a capy demonstrating one of MANY ways they can move through the water: running along the bottom.
They're 'semi-aquatic' mammals, just like hippos, seals & beavers. They LOVE water.

They say they’re protecting kids. They’re not. They’re harming these kids by blocking their access to health care.
These comments make clear what this is about: Eliminating *all* trans people of all ages.
If they get away with it with trans people, they’re coming for you next.

Here are the 28 Dem Senators who voted to advance the first federal ban on trans athletes & a federal definition of sex that would make trans & intersex people non-existent: Angela Alsobrooks (MD), Tammy Baldwin (WI), Richard Blumenthal (CT), Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE), Chris Coons (DE), ->
By a vote of 76-23, S 1071 passes the motion to proceed to the motion to concur. Won't know who voted for this until the roll call is uploaded, but safe to say it passed with the support of at least 24 members of the Democratic caucus. (Rand Paul probably voted nay and Steve Daines has been absent).

I haven't gotten a single package on time that's shipped from Amazon in months, what makes them think doubling shipping is a good idea lol
Exclusive: Amazon has long been USPS’s top customer, providing over $6 billion in annual revenue in 2025.
But Amazon may give up its long-standing partnership with USPS to deliver packages itself, which could spell disaster for the mail agency.

Everyone in Chicago needs to read this AND TAKE ACTION. Everyone else should read this and ask what's happening where you are with your public library systems.
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has proposed disastrous cuts to our city's libraries while setting aside $5M for a ShotSpotter replacement. As library associate Sara Heymann told me, “Libraries embody everything we need to fight back against fascism.” My piece on what’s at stake and how to fight back:
You Can’t Fight Fascism While Defunding Libraries
“Libraries embody everything that we need right now to fight back against fascism," says Sara Heymann.

When Leelah Alcorn committed suicide after her parents removed her from school and sent her to Christian conversion therapy after she came out as trans, it was a national story, was talked about by Obama, and spurred a ban on conversion therapy. Would it get that level of attention today?
it’s absolutely ridiculous that not a single national media outlet has picked this story up yet except for “lgbtq+ news” and fox! it’s been 12 hours!
a trans girl in vermont was kicked off her swimming team and committed suicide and at the very same time, the discourse in d.c. today is about whether the democratic party should’ve abandoned her sooner in order to win votes
