Just a reminder: it’s good to oppose assassinations. But you are under absolutely no obligation to treat Trumpists and Trump-apologists as people who are honest, or acting in good faith, when they purport to condemn political violence or violent rhetoric. They’re not sincere.

@the-singer.bsky.socialThe funniest possible thing would be if someone at Trump's rally set off firecrackers and Trump bashed his head on the podium while ducking, causing a TBI and rendering him aphasic.

Pride BEGAN during a time of anti-sodomy laws. The first Pride was a riot against those laws. Pride is celebrated around the world in places where it is much more dangerous to be queer than here. Pride is not dependent on being ALLOWED to be who we are, it’s a promise that we WILL be no matter what

I hope we all enjoyed our last Pride month in the US. Project 2025 will put an end to it

Early post-debate polls show that the debate was not a disaster for Biden. The NYT and other news outlets have noticed and are doing their best to fix that.

Leaving aside those that are openly motivated by fringe, malign, or perverse ideologies, there is possibly no institution that has a longer track record of worse judgement on American politics than the NYT has.

The Republicans are the Uvalde shooter and the Democrats are the cops standing outside doing nothing.

So now we learn that Biden looked bad because he had a cold? A competent political party would have "leaked" info about his illness before the debate. But we're dealing with the Democrats here.

Who else besides the Democratic Party could have figured out a way to lose to Donald Trump, possibly twice?

If you accept the "collateral damage" of a family killed to get one Hamas member at home, but you wouldn't accept the collateral damage of an Israeli family killed to get to a reservist at their home, then you simply don't see Palestinians as human beings with equal value.

Everyone is focused on four years ago and the beginning of COVID, but on a better note, there was so much relief when this happened three years ago today.

Order your LAST round of free COVID tests from the USPS before Friday. Do it now. They're abandoning us to let a mass disabling event just happen. We keep each other safe now. Mask up (N95 or KN95 from a reputable seller [not amazon, there have been counterfeits on there]). Love you, stay safe.

Chiropractic is still considered alternative medicine because it’s based on pseudoscientific ideas, and still has not been proven efficacious… it was also invented by a guy who claimed that a dead doctor explained it all to him during a séance— and I think more people should be aware of this. #TT

reminder that the last time we did an airdrop like this, it was to a bunch of Iraqi civilians trapped on a mountain and *surrounded by ISIS,* to give you an idea of the type of group that typically blocks the arrival of humanitarian aid to civilians from arriving by land.

Presumably this is sloppy deadline newswriting but it's really fucking funny to imagine the CDC telling contagious people to go back to work but to personally make sure to upgrade the HVAC while they're there

My transphobic sister had plastic surgery and I'm struck again by how easy it is for cis folks to access gender affirming care. She didn't need several visits with a psychologist, a diagnosis for gender dysphoria, or to sit on a waitlist for >1 year. She could do it simply because she wanted to.

the point where you can no longer trust a government with the basic function of allowing your aid to reach noncombatants is the point where you can no longer justify sending that government anything else

$4bln a year to Israel and it doesn't even buy us the ability to tell them they can't starve kids to death. Pathetic. www.nbcnews.com/politics/whi...

IDF spokesman now admits there is NO evidence of hostages being held at Nasser hospital This comes after the IDF bombed, besieged, forcibly evacuated & stormed that hospital (the biggest in Southern Gaza) & put it out of service, claiming falsely hostages' bodies were inside. x.com/muhammadsheh...

They forced the medical staff to leave their patients behind just as they left five babies in incubators to die slowly. I have fewer words everyday to describe this level of barbarity. x.com/MSF/status/1...
