Every time I come on this site, its overlord make it clear that these are "all the king's lands" and my presence here only exists to serve his ego.

I'm almost weaned off. Kicking an addiction is hard and I guess I'm thankful that the ruler reminds me why I should stop.

America must have the highest proportion of working poor in the world. If people work two jobs and can barely make ends meet, that means the jobs are the problem, not their willingness to work hard. I don't understand why people aren't urging a revolution.

I hope you'll share this with everyone you know --

especially people who see themselves as good liberals but have expressed mimeographed "concerns" about trans kids, when there are fewer kids transitioning in the whole country than are working in factories right now in Alabama.

Conrad Veidt and Fritz Schulz in Different from the Others (1919), one of the first films to offer a sympathetic portrayal of gay characters

Hate when that happens. I was attacked and screamed at in 2018 by an insane woman named Marjorie Taylor Greene. She had no respect for the privacy of me as an 18 year old school shooting survivor or my staff.
She was self righteous, insane, and completely out of control.

Three years after going live, Carter's solar farm now provides 50% of the small town's electricity needs, generating 1.3 MW of power per year. That's the equivalent of burning about 3,600 tons of coal.

#OTD My great-great-aunt Mildred Harnack was beheaded on Hitler’s direct order. Born in Milwaukee, she graduated from the University of Wisconsin & moved to Germany to pursue a PhD. As an American grad student in Berlin, she witnessed a rapid increase in Hitler's popularity. 1/12

I often get asked by trans people and parents, "Where should I flee? Am I safe?"

I have continually updated an anti-trans legislative risk map to answer that question.

This latest update accounts for all recent bills.

This day always begs reflection for me. All of the ‘What Ifs.’ What if Ritchie had lived? He will always be a pioneer in the cultural fusion of Rock and Roll, but I believe he would have furthered that evolution like Santana or The Beatles. I still owe you, Ritchie. Thank you.

Removing Omar from committees over anti-semitic comments while rallying behind the 'Jewish space laser' lady and the guy who dined with antisemites is peak Republican hypocrisy.

[Fred Wellman @FPWellman]

This is authoritarianism.

Last night, Missouri delivered to the rest of the country a master class in how to fight anti-trans bills.

Dozens of parents testified.
Multiple overflow rooms filled up.
Over a hundred activists showed up.
The legislators asked competent questions.

Good job.

As a born and bred Long Islander I think Long Island and *especially* the new NY 3rd deserve every shred of embarrassment a.k.a "George Santos" is giving them.
