what was "the incident" at your high school?

It seems like it's not a great development that transvestigation conspiracy theories have gone sufficiently mainstream that Anne Hathaway obliquely referenced it by captioning an insta post with, "fake hair, real bump."

Fellas, Is It Trans To Be a Pregnant Woman? Anne Hathaway's Haters Say Yes

Anne Hathaway, who is currently five months pregnant, is being “transvestigated” for showing off her baby bump.

Since presidential appointments happen one by one, it can be hard to track, but: With Todd Blanche's confirmation, basically every lawyer in a position of power in the federal government was on one of the egal teams that worked to keep Trump in power, out of prison, or both

The Justice Department Is a Glorified Pro-Trump Law Firm Now

The president is staffing the government with trusted lawyers who share a willingness to do anything for their favorite client.

2 things are true here: 1. a lot of the mandatory diversity trainings from the 2010s were genuinely awful. ask any trans person who had to sit through one about gender-diverse people and they will agree with you that they sucked and didn't do their job 2. being *this* upset about them is super weird

Perfect summation of the antiwoke worldview: trying to destroy democracy is bad, but not nearly as bad as sitting through an HR training

the gernsback continuum but for frutiger aero and frutiger metro the frutiger continuum

Apparently neo-fascism is a bit of a nuisance, but nothing compared to workplace trainings on how not to be an asshole.

did u know i picked my current hebrew name using bibliomancy? i opened my chumash and selected the first female name i saw and it happened to be yocheved jews should do bibliomancy more it's fun

he believes in cis-substantiation instead

incredibly funny to me that hanania has spent his entire career promoting race science and white nationalism given that he's only considered "white" in the united states because of a 1915 supreme court ruling

Christopher Mathias@letsgomathias.bsky.social · 19h ago

very fitting that on the day i publish this article, Hanania publishes this!

Hanania is a white supremacist piece of shit and so is everyone who has contributed to his rehabilitation

Maybe there’s a kickback in here somewhere, but based on his public remarks, we’re going to spend billions reverting to a worse, older system because Trump has some weird irrational aversion to magnets. Which he apparently thinks don’t work if they get wet?

knowing current US demography instead of 20 years ago US demography is a fucking cheat code in punditry and political analysis but it also drives you insane because you become unable to look at campaign lit without wondering where the Spanish is

Kevin@reginageorgebush.bsky.social · 24h ago

okay well that's just malpractice then. something like one in five adult US citizens in Texas speaks Spanish

we have truly reached the senile grandpa stage of his presidency

This is absolutely ridiculous. For all its potential pitfalls, the Ford aircraft carriers are built entirely around the EMALS system, and "replacing" it with steam catapults - which require large amounts of space and personnel - is simply not a realistic option. www.wsj.com/us-news/trum...

woke 1 was the trans community watching in horror as rhetoric about "white trans women" slowly ate away at the security and safety of the entire community, including myself, by giving "allies" a way to dismiss our concerns and imply we have "residual privilege" as republicans shot at bud lite cans.

The actual sin of Woke 1 is that by 2021 large sections of progressive culture could not imagine anything worse than a performative liberal white woman

I think the actual problems with “Woke 1” can be nearly summed up by how the smear campaign against Amber Heard was largely based around pseudo-intersectional feminist rhetoric about how women can be abusers too

Martin Concagh@mconcagh.bsky.social · yesterday

I think the actual problem with “woke 1” or whatever you want to call it wasn’t that it went “too far” or whatever but that it disappeared up its own butthole and forgot that fascism existed

GLITCH has updated ‘The Amazing Digital Circus’ merchandise descriptions for Jax to use she/her pronouns, further confirming the character is transgender. 🏳️‍⚧️

I've said this 100 times before and I'll say it again: the success of the Minnesota resistance, which continues to this day, comes from its relentless discipline. By refusing to do anything illegal, it has forced ICE and DHS to resort to dubious secret-police tactics and/or impotent fuming.

If one looks at a map then one will notice that, with a handful of exceptions, every country that has birthright citizenship is located in the Americas. So why does the United States act so embarrassed about it and tries to emulate Europe's ethnostates?

nah, america shares this trait with most new world republics. this is why we should dismantle atlanticism and forge enduring alliances based on shared fundamental values with the rest of the new world

I mean look. The antichrist is President and he’s having pastors arrested, just like Tim LaHaye warned us. What do you even do about that.

i know when and where the last party happened. it was held on the evening of march 13, 2020, at the orange crate brewing company bar, within walking distance of the syracuse university campus. everybody knew it was going to be the last party, at least for a while. i was invited but did not attend.

50 years of gangrape in a men's prison for attending a protest. Absolutely horrifying and evil

Rolling Stone@rollingstone.com · 2d ago

Incarcerated for Life in Trump’s War on the Left Autumn Hill had already gone home when a protest outside an ICE facility in Texas turned violent. She was still sentenced to 50 years in prison, over twice as long as any Jan. 6 defendant. Story: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

(the sentence is long because she's transgender)

people keep forgetting that this scene is not only in the first book but an integral part of the plot because it's how harry and ron befriend hermione like, there is no way that the episode featuring this incident will be anything other than the most deeply unpleasant TV viewing experience ever

🏳️‍⚧️ june | יוֹכֶבֶד🪬@junewl.bsky.social · 22h ago

my personal theory is that the first few episodes will appear normal and then the "troll attacks hermione in the women's bathroom" episode will air and it's gonna be so deeply offputting and infused with xitter TERF brainworms that it'll cause general interest in the series to drop like a rock

(this is true, btw. the term "heritage american", coined by noted right-wing europhile JD Vance, is a psyop designed to make america amenable to european ethnopluralist rhetoric via declaring that the titular ethnicity of the USA consists of the descendants of those who fought in the civil war)

that's exactly my point, americans are unable to call out the hypocrisy of left-liberal europeans not reacting to their domestic right-populist movements the way they say americans should react to the republican party because americans simply do not understand how bad things are getting in europe

the ukraine war is being fought because the parties involved do not agree whether the ukranian ethnic group is legitimate and/or if its borders properly reflect the "natural homeland" of said ethnic group. there is a war on the european continent being fought because of this order right now.
