Last week, a coworker looked me directly in the eyes & told me that bi+ men didn’t exist. When I reminded her that I am one, she responded by saying: “that’s just my opinion.”

This is an official government account in a democracy.

This is what Orbanism looks like. The president bragging, via AI video, that he forced a comedian who mocked him off the air and ‘into the trash’.

I’d rather ExxonMobil build up tolerance to lower profits.

What is ignored or neglected by the media -- but will be studied by historians?

Here's the full list of 25 examples:

[Qasim Rashid, Esq. @QasimRashid]

Worker: I can't live on $7.25/hr

GOP: So go to college

W: I can't afford $100K tuition

GOP: Take out loans

W: I can't afford to pay these at 8% interest

GOP: No one forced you to go to college

W: But you just said—

Billionaire: I NEED MORE MONEY!

GOP: Here's a $2T Tax Cut

[Hank Green @hankgreen]

FORGIVING STUDENT LOANS IS GOOD, ESPECIALLY THE FIRST $5000 TO $10,000, SINCE THAT COVERS 100% OF THE DEBT OF MOST OF THE PEOPLE WHO DID NOT END UP GETTING DEGREES WHO ARE THE ONES THE SYSTEM MOST FAILED.

NOT A DRAG QUEEN, A PASTOR

[Gay Exci @JayExci]

Five years ago today Greta Thunberg made the huge mistake of assuming conservatives have basic reading comprehension skills.

[matt bernstein @mattxiv]

personally if i was the catholic church i would tread lightly in this conversation

[Rep. Justin Jones @brotherjones_]

Sir— didn’t you authorize state funds to be used to try and cover this up and relocate the intern involved. Perhaps, start with addressing the crime happening INSIDE the legislature.

[Brandy Bryant 🏳️‍⚧️ @InkMasterbator]

You only think that "cis" is a slur because you use "trans" that way.

[Strewth! 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 @StrewthQueen]

Life of a queer Millennial:

Bullied in the 90s, AIDs scare still present

De-criminalised in the 00s, newfound freedom

Celebrated in the 10s, starting to gain mainstream acceptance

Demonised in the 20s, pushback from neo-NAZIs, TERFs & other far-right groups

Public service announcement.

“I’m asking you to love your family more than you hate mine.”

[Heartland Signal @HeartlandSignal]

NE State Sen. Lou Ann Linehan (R) complains filibusters of anti-trans bills made her miss her grandson's preschool graduation.

Sen. Megan Hunt (I): “You won't come off this bill that hurts my [trans] son. You hate him more than you love your own family. That's why you're here."

[matt bernstein @mattxiv]

i am once again asking has this happened to anyone that isn’t white and conservative

[Andy Badertscher 🇺🇸 🏳️‍🌈 🇺🇦 @BadertscherAndy]

@Angry_Staffer A supreme court justice can't plead ignorance of the law despite the fact the rest of us are held to that same standards.

[Angry Staffer @Angry_Staffer]

Yeah… that’s not how any of that works

[Brad Batt for Tennessee State House @bradbatt]

3 children were murdered in their classrooms a week ago today

Below @brotherjones_ holds up a child’s drawing: “PROTECT 💚KIDS💚 NOT GUNS” next to @Justinjpearson & @VoteGloriaJ

@CSexton25 calls this an “insurrection” and wants to expel them for it

His office # is 615-741-2343

[Rebekah Jones @GeoRebekah]

My family is not safe. My son has been taken on the gov's orders, and I've had to send my husband and daughter out of state for their safety.

THIS is the reality of living in DeSantis' Florida.

There is no freedom here. Only retaliatory rule by a fascist who wishes to be king

[Jo @JoJoFromJerz]

Republicans will force a 10 year old to carry her rapist’s baby to term, let a 6 year old carry a gun, permit a 12 year old to work an 8 hour shift in a meat packing plant and allow a grown man to marry a 14 year old with a Judge’s consent, all while telling us that the reason they’re banning drag queens, gender affirming care and books about Rosa Parks is because they want to ‘protect our kids.’

Bullshit.
