NEW: Israel has imprisoned an American teen. Soldiers raided Adam's West Bank home right before his sister’s grad party. They ignored his US passport. As they took him, they blew kisses at his mom. Adam is now the second American in Israeli prison. Trump just hosted Netanyahu for the eighth time.

i think the party of sick freaks who want to inspect kid's private parts should be branded as such

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

At first I read this as a sign about the band TOOL and it was much funnier that way

This is *EXACTLY* why what Ken said was dangerous. If he was some smol beans account it would still have been fucking disgusting but faded into obscurity But Ken’s a celebrity. And he provided ammunition for monsters and essentially doxxed a trans woman making her a subject of international news

This guy would win in a landslide if he ran for office. I promise you there are SO MANY voters waiting for the "Were going through every file and we will find all of you" candidate to take on the New Gestapo. Establishment Dems will never hold anyone accountable. They had their chance and blew it

Acton didn’t attend. Leaders were barred from entry. Others were kicked out.

Hearing someone say that an anti-trans person "just has reasonable concerns about women's sports," is like hearing someone say they "just have reasonable concerns about satanic ritual abuse" in the early 90s or late 80s. It's a fiction, created as a political tool by the extreme right.

Hey, musicians, If you have a place you actually SELL, not stream, your work: Quote this and link that shit.

that's cool. remember when you helped pile onto a transphobic brigade I faced for a mild comment against a NYT journalist, which in turn led to revenge porn of me being leaked? was a huge fan of yours for over 20 years, was 7 years old when I saw your original jeopardy run. often wrote about it too

My wife and I have a game where we try to invent the day’s grossest-sounding word on NYT Spelling Bee.

No. No you will not. You will not fight hard for ALL Ohioans. You will gladly leave some of us behind to have our lives destroyed. As was evidenced by the meeting you didn't show up to tonight, or want anyone to know about, with your Campaign Manager.

Dr. Amy Acton@amyactonoh.bsky.social · last wk.

I’ve fought for Ohioans my whole career, and I’ll never stop.

1. In the aftermath of forcing the Ohio Progressive Caucus to delete criticism of Amy Acton for calling trans girls "boys," progressives were promised a meeting with Acton. Now, we have learned she didn't show up, and kicked trans people out of the meeting. Subscribe to support our journalism.

What is a bad look?

Ken Jennings@kenjennings.bsky.social · 6d ago

This may be true of others but I actually got express permission from the trans community to keep NYT games and recipes. I also have a news subscription, which is arguably worse, so I had to specifically send in a written request. Took 30 days but I got approved.

A third of the active players in the league are LGBTQ. This is very clearly a call to purge queer Black women from the league. It's absolutely disgusting.

AIPAC may have bought our election in Illinois, but we're not going to let that happen in Michigan. 5 days left to make them panic. Vote for Abdul on or before August 4th.

stephen miller killed this couple, as surely as if he'd pulled the trigger himself

Matt Ortega@mattortega.com · last wk.

Stephen Miller said just the other day that all asylum claims are "fake." A couple deported from the U.S. to Guatemala were gagged, bound, and shot dead. Their 14-month old found crying next to their mother's body. People like Miller don't care though because this is the point: ethnic cleansing.

A woman who self-deported from the U.S. to be with her husband, who ICE deported last year, were found bound, gagged and shot dead in Guatemala. Their daughter, barely over a year old, found crying beside her mother’s body. www.stlpr.org/law-order/20...

Overland couple shot dead in Guatemala after local ICE stop led to deportations

The couple’s 14-month-old daughter was found crying beside her mother’s body in a sugarcane field last week, according to Guatemalan authorities and media.
