When Trump beat Harris by a point and a half the media and commentariat treated it as a landslide total conservative victory.

Progressives didn’t get the big election night they wanted

What gets me is that AIPAC is going to turn around & spend on the Republican in the MI Senate race while centrist Dems malign Abdul as a non-Democrat. But it’s fine & party line to support people funded in millions by donors entirely agnostic to their party & only concerned with a foreign country.

thinking back fondly to that time in 2012, 16 years into florida's charter school experiment, after almost 500 charter schools had already failed, when the republican legislature simply made it illegal to examine what happened to someone's last charter when they applied for a new one

I do an explicitly trans podcast with my brother who is also trans and The Screen Act would absolutely fuck us over because according to the fascists in charge our existence is harm.

Mike Stabile@mikestabile.bsky.social · 2d ago

The SCREEN Act is not just another age-verification bill — it goes much further than anything passed at the state-level or in other countries. 1. The bill doesn't just target porn sites. It goes after *any* site that allows material "harmful" to minors. You'd have to scan your face to use Google.

Cis influencers were caught pretending to be trans for rage clicks and sub money. Over a year later, they are not only still doing it… there appear to be more of them...

some of us took the implicit premise of "vote blue no matter who," that after the primary majorities and margins are more important than intra-partisan factional disputes, pretty seriously and it increasingly looks like that group did not include a lot of the people yelling "vote blue no matter who"

I have two novels so far full of trans joy, villain punching, rock music, lesbian feelings, and classic magical girl action. I'm working on the next book *and* on some other cool stuff, so why not support the cutie crew? Read their current adventures in ebook, print, or audio formats! magicariot.com

too many people who love magical girls don't know about Magica Riot yet and this must change 🥹

Alonso likes to make friends with everyone he meets.

I opened the article about the deaths earlier, read “underlying health conditions” at the start of the second paragraph and wanted to throw my phone.

Melissa Gira Grant@melissagiragrant.com · 2d ago

people could respond to this framing around reporting deaths—"had significant underlying health conditions"—with more confidence if we weren't also living through a pandemic in which we have been told only people who have "underlying health issues" are "vulnerable" or "at risk"
