Breaking: HHS’s ban on gender-affirming care is struck down. Rarely have I read a ruling this sharply worded.
“This case is one of a long list of examples of how a leader’s wanton disregard for the rule of law causes very real harm to very real people.”

Reminder that Motherless dot com is not a real porn site where people consent and production is legal. Motherless has a very bad reputation of exploitation that is far more alarming than the anti-pornography movement's obsession with Pornhub.
But yet, people will still tell us not to jump to conclusions…
And if you want to know why so many survivors never speak of their assaults this is exactly why. There’s never enough proof for the court of rape culture opinion.
When you walk into a bar, they check your ID and hand it back to you. But if this bill becomes law as written, when you visit a website with user-generated content, Big Tech could require you to provide your ID and then they will hold on to it indefinitely. www.fightforthefuture.org/news/2026-04...

The First Amendment needs to protect queer and LGBTQ speech as much as other speech, if not more. FIRE is a right wing, transphobic failure. ACLU national is impotent and failed in its defense of the adult industry. Only state level orgs are making huge strides in defending 1A rights for all.
THERE IS NO LGB WITHOUT THE T.
If climate protesters had blocked roads for as long as the fuel protesters did, there would be people on the radio demanding the army be called in to shoot them all
NEW: I found IRS paperwork for several nonprofits whose addresses matched Border Patrol stations. Some of the groups, named after the military's "morale, welfare, and recreation" program, were selling challenge coins commemorating last year's enforcement surges: www.wired.com/story/us-bor...
Cancel culture doesn’t exist, but anti-cancel culture does—and it gets people rich. Crowdfunding opens the door for racists to be in solidarity with each other; our world is saturated with hate, and it’s possible to turn it into profit.
I hate that—it's like people in our age group have education. But no, it has to do with AI, being jaded, and whatever bullshit there is. I stand by this—em dashes are dashy fun.
All I want today is to eat deviled eggs, hail Satan, and vibe with my homies.
NYT: Iran War Live Updates: Trump Escalates Threat to Hit Iranian Power Plants After U.S. Rescues Downed Airman President Trump used an expletive-laden social media post to taunt Iranian leaders, saying that the United States would attack if they did not fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
NYT: President Trump on Sunday escalated his threats to bomb Iranian power plants within the next two days and taunted the country’s leaders in an expletive-laden social media post. Mr. Trump, seemingly emboldened by the successful U.S. rescue of an American airman in Iran over the weekend, issued a new ultimatum to Iran to end its chokehold over the Strait of Hormuz, a major Persian Gulf waterway for the transport of oil and gas, by Apr. 6. If Iran’s government did not, he said, U.S. forces would target the country’s energy infrastructure, which supplies power for millions of civilians. “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!!” Mr. Trump wrote on social media. The president has previously postponed his deadline to attack twice and the Omani foreign ministry said on Sunday that officials had discussed how to reopen the Strait of Hormuz with Iranian counterparts without reaching a definitive agreement.
“Praise be to Allah,” Mr. Trump added, before signing off in all caps. Iran has threatened to retaliate by intensifying its attacks on critical infrastructure in Israel and Arab states that are allied with the United States. An escalation could further derail the lives of civilians throughout the region and add to worries about the global economy, which has been rattled by soaring energy prices since the start of the war. Over the past two days, the U.S. military has been in a race with Iranian armed forces to find the missing airman after an F-15E jet was shot down over Iran on Friday, in the first known instance of a U.S. combat aircraft since the start of the war. The plane’s pilot was quickly rescued. But a second officer was stranded in Iran and injured in the incident. American commandoes found the airman deep inside Iranian territory under the cover of darkness.
The New York Times deleted Trump’s “open the fuckin’ strait” line to make him look less insane
Their write-up falsely says his post says only “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!!” and “Praise be to Allah”
HE IS RISEN
I can be annoying. Not my intent vast majority of the time. Just happy to be in a digital community where there is a true interest among many (sure, not all) in supporting people who need it most.
*thanks for standing out and speaking truth to assholes like that account. Sorry... Never post in traffic 😂😂😂
I have. And I've done my best as a cisgender bisexual man and an ally to highlight the need for solidarity with our trans siblings. Thanks for standing out. The NYT needs to shutter.
What about Easter? Lol

Age verification is an enterprise including those on the right and left. That is very true. And I recognize that. But my recent piece for The Baffler is about these efforts being led, predominately, by the far-right in the United States. Just saying. thebaffler.com/latest/paper...
