Danielle Smith pushes for "parental rights" and "protecting kids," as justification to block teens from accessing lifesaving gender-affirming care.

All the while, she hires people who publicly tell teens they should be beaten.

The trend here? Smith and her staff pushing for stuff that hurts kids.

Ezra Klein is so emblematic of a certain kind of man in media.

Incurious while thinking he's open-minded, condescending while ignorant of his of ignorance.

It's an intellectual exercise for him, as if that's a marker of his journalistic professionalism rather than an expression of his privilege.

The real way to help children with autism and neurodivergence is to FUND SCHOOLS. Fund the welfare state. Create opportunities for parents to have an education and well paying jobs. More EAs in school, more doctors.

Our society is anti-child, and this is why so many children are in burnout.

If you, like me, are the parent of a neuro-atypical child dreading this autism press conference, please remember: These are the people hurting our kids. Not us. They are the ones stigmatizing and pathologizing them. They are the ones peddling untested science. And we should be very, very angry.

Autism does not need to be cured! It's the rest of society that needs to be more accommodating!! Neurodivergence and disabilities cause suffering only because we have so little understanding or support. Treating it as something "broken" or "wrong" only enforces that, please just help people instead.

25+ million dollars. A former president. Some of the richest people in the US. The entire liberal and conservative political establishment. And Zohran Mamdani — and all the people behind him — beat it all.

“I just wanna say trans people are beautiful. We are never going to stop existing. I’m never gonna stop being trans, a letter on a passport can’t change that, and fuck this administration.”

“Why didn’t the helicopter go up or down?” Jesus Mary & Joseph a competent opposition party would make him wear this around his neck for the next four years. At least six months of hearings. Over 60 bodies in the Potomac. “Why didn’t the helicopter go up or down.”

I've built a machine that can be Confidently Wrong. It can also make pictures that all look a bit the same, as well as make a video of you kissing any celebrity or person you know. In payment, I'd like to boil the world's oceans dry, & steal all literature. For some reason, my head is not on a spike

that moment when gender is definitely an unchangable biological truth so you have to enforce it via fascistic law

ain't that a mood

Breaking: The NYPD is responding to a credible tip related to the name of the masked CEO killer and is now on the search for "Amanda Hugandkiss"

I’m excited for @gregcasar.bsky.social’s leadership at the Progressive Caucus. He’s going to be great.

the two-hour YouTube video about all this that I’m going to watch while eating dinner one day is going to go dummy

Hasan Piker rightly pushes back on the idea that the Democrats simply need their own Joe Rogan, telling CNN "It's 100% a policy thing," calling for "real left-wing economic populist messaging instead of purposely avoiding that stuff because they're terrified of upsetting their corporate donors."

Sen. Bernie Sanders goes scorched earth, saying "The Democrats ran a campaign protecting the status quo and tinkering around the edges" and that its leadership "are much too wedded to the billionaires and corporate interests that fund their campaigns."
