One guy is 81, has stiff gait, & has done a great job as president considering the disaster he inherited. The other guy is 78, created said disaster, wants to implement fascism on minority groups & has already failed once as president & attempted a coup. Let’s get a goddamn grip

My colleague @HeerJeet really gets into why Kristi Noem thinks killing puppies is *good politics.* And it's both because the GOP values cruelty and because Trump, specifically, really seems to hate dogs.

Trans Visibility Day happens every March 31st, a date chosen by advocates back in 2010. Easter just happened to fall on the same day this year, because Easter changes dates. This is a good effort to gin up stupid outrage though

One thing about the current popular trad wife/housewife depiction is they aren’t actually doing hard, essential domestic labor — you rarely if ever see them clean their own giant sparkling kitchens or bathrooms or cook substantial food beyond desserts or special treats.

“I love my Tesla but it almost killed my entire family for no discernible reason and also the service is dogshit” remains an unbeatable genre of post

I’ve got a side hobby tracking the rhetoric around birth control and abortion in social media spaces by conservative influencers and y’all it’s so much more than trad wives and soft life reels

Trump said in Richmond, that he will take all federal funds away from public schools that require vaccines. Like most states, Virginia requires MMR vaccine, chickenpox vaccine, polio, etc. So Trump would take millions in federal funds away from all Virginia public schools.

This fake masculine tweet will cause someone to forgo needed help. It may cost them their life.

So just in case that person might see my tweet:

Therapy saved my life, it might save yours, and if this is about masculinity, I’m certain I’m more manly than Elon in every regard.

Clarence Thomas thinks that the Obergefell ruling was an affront to religious liberty:

He complained that the Court chose to privilege a “novel constitutional right over the religious liberty interests explicitly protected in the First Amendment.”

We’re gutting newsrooms to pivot to video. No wait, podcasting. But wait, we still need reporters and editors. Just not full time. Or salaried. Or with benefits.

People in #Gaza are in extreme peril while the world watches on.

No one can claim “I did not know” as the images, footage and voices of unspeakable suffering continue.

We cannot turn a blind eye to this human tragedy any longer.
