27 years since the Columbine High School massacre.
27 years of failing to protect our kids.
27 years without common-sense gun laws.
I watched it as a student. Now it’s only gotten worse for our kids.
We need an assault weapons ban.
Trans Lifeline x MagicCon card pin and Alesha quote patch. The quote reads "Our history is one hand reaching out to another."
Can someone going to Vegas hook me up with some of these? 👀🥺
A Tulip crash but for AI dipshits.
This story is crazy! The Jim Dolan had a Knicks fan obsessively monitored at games just because she was trans.
Hey fyi way too many, even leftists who should know better, effusively praising the papacy is making it way, way more difficult to organize against this.
This trans healthcare ban is literally going to cost trans people's lives but yeah, woke pope made a statement or whatever.
A screenshot of a Hollywood Reporter politics news article. The headline reads, "Dave Chappelle Knocks Republican Party for “Weaponized” Transgender Jokes: “That’s Not What I Was Doing”" The subheadline states, "After being called out for transphobic jokes, the superstar comedian told NPR that Lauren Boebert and other Republicans are politicizing his humor." Below the text is a photo of Chappelle in a black tuxedo speaking at a podium, with a caption noting he is accepting the President's Award at the 2025 NAACP Image Awards.
No, that's exactly what Chappelle was doing and it's why trans people criticized him for doing it.

BREAKING: A jury has found Live Nation and Ticketmaster to be an illegal monopoly that overcharges fans.
After the federal government settled the case, 34 states kept pursuing the giant ticket and concert company.
Now, the states have won.
A screenshot of an article from The Dispatch. The headline reads "Trans Issues Are No Conspiracy," with the subheadline, "The public pays attention to trans issues because trans activists wanted them to." It is categorized under "Society & Culture."
Jesse Singal is back on his transphobic bullshit by arguing that the trans rights backlash is self-inflicted and that anyone pointing to coordinated right-wing funding is peddling a "conspiracy theory." It's a masterclass in false dichotomy and victim blaming.

All of Us Should Be Able To Agree With This…..
Where have we heard this one before...
Oh yeah...
pretty clear bright line today, anyone in power who isn't doing everything they can to remove him from office deserves handcuffs when this is all over. that includes any democrat who votes for anything he wants
Dear Humans,
If a Dem candidate for 2028 is not running first on EXACTING SWIFT AND WONDERFUL JUSTICE on the war criminals in this administration, then you must join with me in throwing that candidate into the lake of fire.
Thanks,
God
It's not *the* first VG Easter Egg, tho!
I'll link a piece by @katewillaert.bsky.social that explores some of the earliest known ones that pre-date Adventure.
When we talk about what the NYT is up to now, it’s actually helpful to be attentive to the fact that they have *always* done shit like this
Yep... This convinced me to try a subscription and receive The Onion in print again.
"My promise has always been that I will veto any bill that makes WI a less safe, less inclusive, and less welcoming place for LGBTQ people and kids," he said. "It has been my honor to keep that promise over the course of two terms as governor, and I am proud to deliver on that promise again today."
by far the worst tendency on this platform is its tendency to interpret a description of something that happened or is happening as an endorsement of that thing
I have been reading Mark on conversion therapy cases for years and he has always been very clear about how awful it is
Between the conversion therapy ruling and the efforts to ban kids from the internet to “protect them” from “transgender influence,” we’re right back in a culture of violently enforced closeting. And the data around self-identifying as trans and queer already reflects this
using today’s queer hallmark holiday to bully u into buying ONE OF THE BOYS, my NYT best-selling stonewall award-winning debut novel about early transition and the epic highs and lows of high school football
pick up hardcover, digital (still on sale for $1.99 thru bookshop!), or preorder paperback

Happy Trans Day of Visibility*
We've always been here.
To all my trans siblings (whether out, cracked, closeted, or questioning): You are valid, you know yourself, you belong🏳️⚧️
*Visibility is only an early step towards safety and equality - not the last
“Should trans people have fewer rights? ‘Not in our name’, say over 35,000 women”
Proud to be part of this initiative. Please keep sharing. QR code below.
Morning Scoobies,
Sometimes heroism isn't about the stake. Sometimes it's just getting up. Walking out the door. Being exactly who you are in a world that keeps telling you who you are, who they want you to be.
“If being on Grindr is the punchline, the joke depends on the premise that being gay is something embarrassing or shameful.”
This tactic is not only unprincipled, it’s an absolute loser politically. Being less of a bigot than MAGA wins you no voters. Democrats need to reject this prejudice.
I work with a lot of newly out trans people, and this is by far the most common thing I have to talk them through. The saddest part is that how many of them report that the community itself has been the source of their fears. You cannot overestimate how much harm and hurt community gatekeeping does.
If the estimates were right, there were about 9 million people at No Kings rallies today.
That would mean this protest was THIRTY TIMES AS LARGE AS THE TEA PARTY PROTEST which we were told, over and over again, was a massively important sign that US politics had shifted dramatically to the right
Good news! OpenAI is canceling so many large purchase orders and datacenter expansions that the global price of RAM is dropping.
Everyone who works for the NYT — including my many friends — should be incredibly embarrassed by this statement.
The depths to which the NYT will go to back its agenda of challenging trans people's right to exist is horrifying, ongoing, and has caused very real and specific harms to trans people.
Trump has made more money in his first year back in office than ALL previous presidents in US history combined. Remember the Emoluments Clause of the Constitution?
