We saw this with the Biden administration on immigration and it haunted me the whole four years. All the concern for immigrants, gone like nothing, as Biden cracked down more and more, chasing voters in red hats who smirked "Let's Go, Brandon."

If democrats put us trannies in the camps, everyone will celebrate, if republicans put is in the camps, everyone whose only thought is "orange man bad" will fight for us.

Here's an anecdote: On 9/10/2001, The Onion staff had a New York launch party at the Bowery Ballroom to celebrate the staff's move from Madison, Wisconsin to New York City. They woke up hungover, took a week off, and then produced one of the greatest front pages in the history of newspapers.

Hey everybody. On the 25-year anniversary, we're reprinting the much revered 9/11 edition of The Onion and sending that free to every member this month. It's been 25 long years. Look back in anger.

The front page of The Onion's September edition from September 2001 featuring the headline "U.S. Vows to Defeat Whoever It Is We're At War With."

Mike McFarland has passed away at the age of 56 on September 10, 2026 due to his battle with Glioblastoma, an aggressive brain cancer. He was a talented voice actor across anime, animated films and gaming. He was most known for Master Roshi, Buggy the Clown, Paul Phoenix, and Charlie Nash.

Trans people have fought and suffered and borne the brunt of the depravity of fascist excess (along with immigrants and Black people), and it looks like the most we can hope for is a decade or more fighting Democrats to restore rights we had in every state in the union as recently as 2020.

The chant you're hearing is "FIRST! DO NO HARM!" Huge high five to everyone who came out to the protest at Mount Sinai over the hospital's deal with Trump to end gender-affirming care for trans youth. 🧵 of photos to follow!

Mt Sinai has violated the Hippocratic Oath and sacrificed the health of Trans and Gender Nonconforming youth by capitulating to the Trump admin. A coalition of TGNCNB and LGBTQIA+ activists, and allies will stand up for our youth against @mountsinainyc.bsky.social . JOIN US!

personally I think we should just take the ai doomers at their word and shut it down if they’re telling the truth, well, good thing we shut it down. If they’re exaggerating, well, they shouldn’t have done that

"Doctors, lawyers and engineers" is an international online Nazi trope. The "joke" is that non-White people are too stupid to be anything other than a criminal or someone who leeches social services. Read a Spanish newspaper about Ceuta, e.g., and you'll see "médicos y ingenieros" in the comments.

This is yet another telling example of the Trump regime’s racism. There’s no pretense here of targeting criminals - the usual excuse for mass deportations. DHS is specifically encouraging Haitian “doctors, lawyers, scholars and engineers” to leave. Any decent society would value these people.

DHS encourages “doctors, lawyers, scholars and engineers” to leave with some sort of $3,000 payout, its naked racism.

Literally any Muslim, even those not born yet or children at the time, are responsible for 9/11, which no Israeli person, even those shooting the guns or dropping the bombs, is responsible for the genocide in Gaza. This is a basic, across the board, mainstream opinion in the US and Europe.

Why shouldn't he? Mamdani is the Mayor of NYC. He isn't responsible for 911 or terrorism. Unless of course ALL Muslims are...? abcnews.com/US/george-pa...

LRP as nice as it is to have access to MTA Mobility now, I wish it didn't take applying to a glorified taxi service to get decent transit as a non-driver here

"if consciousness is inherently impossible to measure how do we know the computer isn't capable of sapience" yeah i had a subscription to popular science when i was ten years old too who cares

All you really have to do is roll back the bill deregulating supplements that Orrin Hatch got passed in 1994. I have a distinct memory of employees at the health food store where my mom would buy the ingredients for granola encouraging everyone to sign a petition supporting that bill.

post malone ergo propter malone@proptermalone.bsky.social · 4d ago

note that you do not have to do one damn thing to the customers to make this work, you just need to bring the exploitable vagueness of the supplements market under the regulatory umbrella

Make America healthy you say? So open up thousands more hospitals around the country especially in rural areas or towns where private equity is buying them up and stripping them for parts? Making care free for all? A big push to train and hire more doctors? No? Ah just the individualistic fash parts
