In fact many cisgender boys do get top surgery before they're 18 for gynecomastia and I don't see a lot of national opinion columns worrying they'll regret it

I just wanna say fuck the Super Bowl and all the other capitalist bullshit that’s like the Super Bowl 

If you ever wonder why conservative Democratic office holders seem so ill equipped to defend democracy at the national level, you've just got to look at how they treat civic engagement at the local level.

Faced with a ‘Cop City’ referendum push, Atlanta this week approved new rules for citizen-led petitions to include signature matching — a practice decried by protesters and voting rights advocates. NEW in Bolts and Mother Jones:

Heard. Biden gives zero fucks for our immuno compromised friends. The amount of people who rally for this old shell of a once youthful racist capitalist astound me. Like we all forgot how he silenced a victim of sexual assault & refused to allow witnesses to be called against Clarence Thomas.

The position of the ADF and other anti-trans activists is that parents have an entirely unfettered level of control over their trans kids in a public school but absolutely zero rights over their trans kids private medical care

Missouri HB.1739 contains provisions for the immediate dismissal and 4 year suspension from employment for any nurse, teacher or social worker who calls a student a name other than that which is on their school registration forms, or fails to report a non-cis identity. legiscan.com/MO/bill/HB17...

Uhhh when democrats had the White House & congress for two fucking years. You know, when they were too busy mishandling a fucking pandemic that they ALL made millions off of. don’t play coy. try and respect the time and emotional labor/energy of others.

“The Israeli military denied ordering the evacuation of the Indonesian hospital. “All we can do is ask, we don’t give orders,” said Lt.Col Richard Hecht, an Israeli military spokesman.” They’re playing in your face. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/m...

Shortly after being swept out of a PA school board by local parents, Moms For Liberty signed off on a $700k exit package for the superintendent who backed their plans to ban books and target trans students. They had already cost the district $1.5m in legal fees defending their policies.

The battle in Pennsylvania is part of years of infighting.

Palestinians are currently defending themselves from apartheid regime and settler attacks in (at least) Jenin, Tulkarem, and Shu’fat camp in the West Bank.

Cis Liberals, DO NOT ever leverage trans rights against me so that you can manipulate me to vote for your shitty bourgeois party. By doing so, you admit that you don't really give a fuck about trans people. Go yell at your congressional rep about universal healthcare and raising the minimum wage.

What is it with liberals who think insulting the left is the way to get them onside? And what is it with all the “you just want a pony” stuff? Like wanting to be able to afford a home, wanting to have healthcare, and wanting to stop genocide are luxury beliefs. Deeply unserious.

University admins claim to be "data-driven" and "run universities like a business," but when study after study finds liberal arts majors get good outcomes, are cheap to run, and are in fact profit centers, admins cut them anyway for ideological reasons. ncnewsline.com/2023/11/16/n...

Sry I haven’t been on for a few days. Barbara passed on Monday in hospice and it’s been a tough couple days. Her GFM is no longer accepting donations, but I want to thank everyone who donated. She hadn’t raised enough funds to pay for home hospice, but your donations went toward a private aid 1/?

It’s made me very sad to learn my old friend Barbara, who has been a rock for everyone, is in bad shape and likely nearing the end of her life. Please consider helping with her GFM if you have the means. She really is in a bad position. Please share widely if you can. gofund.me/f5357fbb

I don't know how you all can expect me to vote for this. Again. And again. And again.

Wait I just watched cops pull over a separated husband, shout commands at him, tell him to get on the ground, take him into custody, and then tell him his estranged wife had been murdered. Why do cops think these are acceptable death notifications to bereaved people?! (I recognize cops suck, but.)

shut our government down, they want to defund the IRS to fund Israel, I'm against this. We have homeless on the street & they won't lift a finger to help, but Genocide they will bend heaven & Earth to sell their bombs (100Keach) against defenseless people in Palestine, say NO to 14b Israel funding!

That video of Biden, saying, “no, there’s no possibility [of a ceasefire]” Certainly has me questioning my allegiance to the Democratic Party

Pro-life politicians who want babies in incubators in Palestine to suffocate to death as oxygen supply dwindles. How pro-life is that.
