This is what it's always been about - legalizing sexual assault on children.

An initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play

The WNBA has never had a trans woman play in the league’s 30-year history and now the right and other anti-trans activists are hammering the league over something that has never been an issue, proving once again it isn’t about protection but exhibiting cruelty toward trans people.

Still can’t over the fact that the president of the United States just told an entire state to pound sand after getting cyberattacked by a foreign adversary because they didn’t vote for him and it was treated like a Tuesday lol

Spokane, Washington. In 2024 governments gave $725,000,000,000 of taxpayer money directly to the fossil fuel industry. We’ve PAID to inflict these horrors on our world. Our children are going to pay a great deal more. We are nowhere near angry enough.🤬🤬🤬 Climate Dad

Here is the front runner for the Dem nomination right now

They are executing people in the streets over immigration if you can not find room in your platform or stump speeches to talk about that and immigration stop running for office and go fuck yourself

This is the problem with the idea that Dems can't go on offense on immigration. It's not okay for Collins to have a clear field on TV to sell herself as a moderate on ICE. CNN has Trump 22 points underwater on this. Two other polls have Ds *tied with the GOP* on it! newrepublic.com/article/2138...

Miller is also accused of abuse by former Trump White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham, who was in a relationship with Miller prior to his marriage to Moreno.

Mark Carney promised "elbows-up" nation-building. What Canadians are getting instead is a carve-out economy—where environmental protections, Indigenous rights, and labour standards are treated as obstacles to growth, write @shirip.bsky.social and Eve Saint.

It has been one year since Mark Carney introduced the Building Canada Act in Parliament. Since then, a succession of new laws has hollowed out legal protections for the environment, Indigenous rights,...

Police beating a lawyer in a client interview room and then police clearing them of all wrong doing is to scare women defence lawyers at their jobs. There is a concerted effort in Canada to lay off, intimidate, and remove women from the workforce— fascism like smoke, doesn’t stop at border.

Running out of body bags, using forklifts to transfer corpses into makeshift morgues, a mortician conducting 200 funerals in a month when he usually does 30, crematories running at double capacity… And these senators just want to memory-hole it all www.nytimes.com/2020/04/30/n...

This is what "both sides" journalism has wrought. A complete inability for journalists to simply state clear and obvious facts that are supported by reams of research. This is not a debate. There are not two sides. Bike infrastructure and traffic calming make streets safer.

It's not just advocates who say this. Researchers, studies, and data say it. That's why advocates say it. Reporters can just say it, too!

The complete debasement of the US State Department in one simple chart. The Trump/Rubio State Department presented a graphic to an international conference that mislabeled EVERY African country. It appears that no one is left who can properly name a single African country.

The headline should read: Huge order of imported bacon from Canada sent back due to the lack of the US being able to inspect the bacon. Nothing to do with Canada. Headline is gaslighting as if it's Canada's failing. It is not.

I have a name change hearing tomorrow and I get so giddy knowing I actually get to be Jennifer soon. Like, officially. I'll get to sign my name as that. I won't have to put it as my "preferred name" on medical paperwork or see the wrong name on my paychecks.

All white people should aspire to be race traitors.

A lot of liberal foreign policy thinkers on here remain totally and intentionally obtuse about what their preferred party and their ideology has wrought in the Middle East and how thoroughly their unconditional support for Israel has discredited them

This is the guy that swore at Fauci in the hearing today.

WHO IS MAX MILLER ??? "Representative Max Miller, a second-term Republican representing northeast Ohio whose political rise was fueled by his close relationship to President Trump, has been accused by his ex-wife, Emily Moreno, of domestic abuse against her and their 2-year-old daughter . . . "

I wonder if they're gonna talk about this in the hearing.

Reminder that on his last day of his first term, Trump awarded a commendation to Dr Fauci "in recognition of his exceptional effort on Operation Warp Speed"

Do you know what China's been doing while we've been dropping bombs and allocating more money for new weapons? Beating us on alternative energy, manufacturing, high speed rail, technology, microchips, and infrastructure.
