cis folks, please use this field! when you show your pronouns it normalizes it for trans people. it helps us greatly! do not use it for jokes. that does not help us and we will find you and remove your throat through your face
jenny tightpants@jtp.bsky.social · 2h agooh shit it shows you someone's pronouns when you're replying to them so you don't have to check their bios. actually great feature
And I haven't done the math on it, but well over half of the new Dem House caucus is going to be folks who took office after Trump's first inauguration. The folks whose frame of reference for governance is the pre-Trump status quo are going to be decisively outnumbered, and for the first time.
This really is a generational shift IMO: Ossof is a year older than me, and people our age have spent our entire lives watching a murderous, incredibly evil GOP make everything in this country worse. We don't view them as misguided neighbors, we view them as they really are: the enemy of democracy.
Angus Johnston@angus.bsky.social · 6h agoLots of the most prominent members of the Dem class of 2026 are now just stating plainly, over and over, that they feel no obligation to perform rituals of civility for odious scumbags. It's a tectonic shift in political messaging, and one with—it seems to me—real policy implications.
A NO to @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov in roles of leadership. WE, the voters gave you a gift—not to be squandered by placating both sides but to see real accountability & justice. WE, the voters, will be paying attention like never before. And, the Epstein files STILL matter!
Please tell your brother in Christ @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social this. Thank you, @warnock.senate.gov 🫶🫶🫶
In the coming days and weeks The New York Times will relentlessly try to spin the election results to push more open transphobia. A good way to counter that, and support trans communities, is to completely boycott them. There's no shortage of other post-election analysis and coverage out there.
Trans News Network@transnews.network · 4d agoIt's always a good day to start boycotting The New York Times for their ongoing role in trans genocide (alongside many, many other reasons). Our call to do so.
Polls show the majority of Michigan Jewish voters voted for El-Sayed, but that has not stopped the endless "Jewish voters concerned" narratives. I'm sure some are concerned. But one could just as easily write, "American Jews embrace Muslim Senatorial candidate in display of American pluralism."
Call Hakeem Jeffries's office and let him know people we want him to enforce the law and also fix the country. You can also call his office in Washington D.C. at (202) 225-5936 or if you are a constituent his office in Central Brooklyn at (718) 237-2211

New: People addicted to opioids tell me they've been using a compound called SR-17018, which wipes out their withdrawal symptoms and isn't habit forming. The drug was developed with a federal grant in pursuit of safer opioids. But the DEA heard chatter about it online and has now banned it:
Opioid Users Found a ‘Miracle Drug’ to Help Them Quit. Then the DEA Banned It
On Reddit and Discord, people addicted to opioids say SR-17018 can remove withdrawal symptoms. Despite its potential, the DEA has placed it in the same category as heroin.

Shit like this reveals what many of us have been saying: AI is a political project. It is a political technology, not just in the sense intended by Langdon Winner, but in the sense of John Dewey who points to the way that it conditions human interaction.

just measured my cat: from the tip of his nose to the end of his tail, he's a little more than a yard, but a little less than a meter, and weighs 16 pounds on the dot such a big fuzzy boi

As a New Yorker, I welcome the purge of the bourgeois and their imprisonment in the Siberia of New York: Buffalo
saw a clip of trump in a debate with hilary, way back when, and it's astonishing, he was so much more articulate and cogent back then, it's like he's just become a bad parody of himself at this point.
