extremely tired of hearing "the trannies need to just sit tight while their rights are eroded away, piece by piece, op-ed by op-ed." you don't get to have it both ways. we do *not* trust you if you don't have our backs now, because we know you'll throw us under the bus when shit hits the fan.

the NYT is an anti-trans organization. we can say this because they publish anti-trans pieces, which is the only requirement. occasionally allowing a writer to run a pro-trans piece does not unwrite the anti-trans pieces. if you write for the NYT you write for a hate org using you for cover.

The judge said the prosecutors' conduct "comes so near to bad faith as to show signs of scorching prejudice". Another outlet reported that a prosecutor resigned in the middle of the hearing. I can't wait for the next Serious Trouble. @kenwhite.bsky.social

WTF. The electric company in Texas doesn't have a map of outages so people have been using the Whataburger App to figure out who lost power. This is like when Homer was using the Krusty Burger map when they got lost at sea.

I CANNOT believe we didn't know this was here until the Finnish Defence Ministry tipped us off. The Estonian Maritime Museum has an INTERWAR VICKERS-ARMSTRONG SUBMARINE! To Dr Clarke's and my knowledge, this makes it the only surviving Brit-made period sub in the world youtube.com/shorts/cwNF5...

Stephen Miller now following Trump's lead and saying he has nothing to do with Project 2025. 1. His organization is on the Project 2025 advisory board. 2. He recorded a video as part of Project 2025 training tools 3. You can see Mandate for Leadership, the Project 2025 publication in the background

Maybe Trump being a criminal and an asshole matters more than Biden being obviously old.

Hey readers, do you suddenly find yourself with large, empty spaces on your bookshelf for........reasons? Get yourself some trans books to fix that!

On that note: Trans authors (I mean authors who are trans, NOT cis people who write about trans people), drop your book links here and I'll try to repost as many as I can throughout the day. Cis people: Repost trans authors' book links. Cis people who want to complain about being excluded: gtfo

Think about the baselines here. Taney inherited a vile political system and dedicated his career to perpetuating it. Roberts inherited a system that, although flawed on any number of dimensions, sought to uphold a modest version of democratic equality. He's dedicated his career to dismantling it.
