More adults have made youth sports their entire personality in the last 10 years than any child in history. Why don't you go break up a game of hide and seek while you're at it, you fuckin' losers.

Another Iowa Dem releases an ad in response to anti-trans ads against her. "We need to protect kids, and we need common sense rules to keep sports fair for boys and for girls. Parents know what's best for our kids. Washington needs to stay out of it." From Lindsay James, IA-02.

*rummaging for bread under an overpass* at least my hypothetical 7-year-old will never stare down a knuckleball thrown by a trans girl

Democratic strategists: Ahhh! What's the right message!!?? Where do we moderate!?!? Jon Ossoff: This administration is horrible. I hate these people. We should put them in jail. I'm pissed Voters: This guy is cool Strategists: I can't figure it out!!!!!

My latest newsletter is a friendly bit of political advice for Democrats.

Don't Surrender On Trans Rights

Many Democrats are running scared on trans issues. They shouldn't be.

Texas man gets 30 years in prison for transporting 'anti-government' pamphlets

The case stems from a violent anti-ICE protest, but critics say the government's prosecution threatens First Amendment rights.

A Minnesota man who squirted vinegar on Democratic U.S. Representative Ilhan Omar was sentenced to one year and two months in prison on Thursday after pleading guilty to assaulting a federal official.

When will the people who argued in April 2025 that Democrats should stay silent on immigration own up to being frankly just disastrously wrong about the politics of mass deportations? Their punditry basically bordered on enablement

marcy kaptur's been in this office since 1983 btw. she's 80 years old. she made this ad for the love of the game

i need liberals who defend this to explain to me what they think the point of the democratic party is

Erin Reed@erininthemorning.com · 2d ago

Holy shit. Marcy Kaptur becomes the latest Dem to release an anti-trans ad, and its worse than all the rest combined. "I voted WITH Republicans to keep transgender ideology out of schools, and let me be clear, boys should NOT play in girls sports." This is getting out of control.

I keep seeing videos of a guy who catches crabs and lobsters, cracks all the barnacles off them, puts a shrimp in their claws and throws them back. can you imagine. abducted by aliens but they just give you a spa day and hand you two hot dogs and let you go

Nice campaign by the Norwegian Consumer Council about the declining lifespan of products. Enjoy!

Side note: a random priest was once like "You have friends who aren't Christians, what'd you say if they asked you "who is this Jesus guy?"" And I had to be like "dude, weird evangelism implications aside, nobody in twenty first century England has ever asked that question. What is wrong with you?"

autumn coded@hoovybaby.bsky.social · 4d ago

not my problem

I’ve read too much case law in the last 5 weeks about youth sports that this is probably a big part of it. Parents think their kids are a lotto ticket to wealth and for 99.99999999999999999 percent of them it is not, even if it’s just to get college scholarships rather than play professionally

Cadence “Not A Coffee Civet” Andrysiak@supportourpoops.bsky.social · 4d ago

I swear if the Trans Participation In Sports thing boils down to not just bigotry but “But this means more competition for my potential social mobility” I think we should put sports on a high shelf by banning parent participation outside of volunteer coaching, ump’ing, and reffing

Glad folks are appalled by photos of the "phone booth" cage under an awning, but pls understand: This IG report is likely part of a cover-up. Amnesty Int'l interviewed detainees EIGHT MONTHS AGO who said the cage was half this size (couldn't stand up), had no awning, w feet chained to the bottom.

not a knock on indivisible, which doesn’t control this, but i think dems in congress underestimate just how corrosive it is to morale and trust to force their constituents to have to beg them to just do the right thing themselves for once on corruption issues like these. it’s exhausting

Indivisible ❌👑@indivisible.org · 5d ago

The Senate could soon vote on a bill that would turbocharge Trump’s corruption. Since the GOP only needs to peel off a handful of Democrats to pass this crypto legislation, it’s extra important for the Senate to hear from us. Send an email and demand that your senators vote NO on the CLARITY Act.
