A screenshot of a thread on X (formerly Twitter). The original post is by Matt Walsh (@MattWalshBlog) and reads: "Gay surrogacy and gay adoption are predicated on the idea that gay men (or women) have a 'right' to become parents. This idea is not only morally insane but also logically incoherent. It’s exactly like jumping off a building and claiming that you have the right to fly. Nobody has the right to defy the laws of nature. Where would such a right even originate? Two men cannot be parents. It’s impossible. Doesn’t matter how they feel or what they want. It cannot be. The only 'right' at issue here is the right of the child. And the child has a right to be raised by a mother and a father, not two men masquerading as mother and father." Jenna Ellis (@realJennaEllis) replies: "This same logic is the reason Obergefell should be overturned. Two men do not have a 'right' to be married either." Matt Walsh (@MattWalshBlog) replies to Jenna Ellis: "Absolutely" The bottom of the screenshot shows the timestamp: 1:28 PM · Apr 19, 2026.

All the transphobic pick me gays will have it coming when they're done with us.

We told you so.

Cadaver Synod - Wikipedia

When he finally croaks — after the celebrations wind down — they should dig him up and keep impeaching him like the Cadaver Synod

all these universities kept axing medieval history departments as if they thought tyrants beefing with the Pope was going to stop being relevant

Geophysicists say there is an increased risks of destructive floods and wild fires due to climate change. A guy who thinks he was teleported to a Waffle House says there's nothing to worry about. For busy Americans, it can be hard to know who to trust.

Los Angeles Bluesky, I need your help. I just learned that on Saturday at the protest at the downtown Metropolitan Detention Center, a friend’s 18-year-old son was shot in the eye with a pepper ball by DHS, permanently blinding him. He needs justice. If you were there and saw anything, please… 1/5

Hegseth is very skilled at ministering to the despot's pathologies. His bloodlust and obvious relish of military violence and killing appeal to Trump. He's willing and eager to carry out Trump's threats of war crimes. His loyalty to Trump is unquestioned.

Here's a really practical thing you can do today: If you know a US citizen in a relationship with someone who is/could be facing deportation, get them connected to American Families United. AFU is a truly bipartisan org doing amazing support work.

If you want revenge, then dig two graves. the first one is a practice grave to get a feel for it and the second is your main or "show grave"

Some people elide this.

I agree. Fuck those AI data centers.

Trump installs Christopher Columbus statue on White House grounds The president has condemned efforts to take down statues of Columbus and other historical figures, saying the removals are an “assault on our collective national memory.”

More racist trolling.

Trump’s re-erection of slabs depicting enslavers and colonizers, stands in stark contrast to the swift removal of statues of Cesar Chavez by those who stand for justice.

Democratic consultants: To replicate Mamdani’s success with the young people we must appeal to their short attention spans with memes and TikTok

Mamdani (actual quote): In the fifth century in what we now know as Ireland, a British warlord named Coroticus had laid waste to the countryside

Device ignited outside New York City mayor's residence Saturday contained explosive materials & fragmentation that could have killed people, according to law enforcement sources familiar with probe

A federal terrorism investigation is underway and terrorism charges are pending

Her trip to Ireland was ruined by this one question?? Gee, I wonder why…

There's been a lot of debate within the Democratic establishment about what rhetoric to use via ICE.

Well, an incumbent doesn't lose by 48 percentage points very often—and her vote on collaborating with ICE was the defining issue here.

I saw this and at first thought "no, there's no way 'we definitely had alternative leadership in mind for Iran but I blew them up alongside the schoolgirls using AI' is what the White House is actually saying, that's too clueless and evil to be real"

As Black History Month comes to a far too soon close, we celebrate W.E.B. Du Bois during his birthday week.

The Roman theatre at Carthage was the setting for the amphitheatre scene ("splitters!") as well. Were you there recently, during Ramadan? We were (14 years ago) and while the days were obviously pretty quiet, the whole place came alive at night, including two concerts at the Carthage theatre.

@thexylom.com posts exactly the same things on Bluesky, Threads, and Mastodon after quitting Twitter.

The results: 24K Bluesky followers, 3K on Mastodon, and not even 500 on Threads with no posts ever getting more than five reactions

Historical context: It was also Dwight D. Eishenhower whose CIA joined British intelligence to lead a coup in Iran in 1953, the US' first regime change. In 1954, a consortium of US oil companies got a 40% stake of Iranian oil.

‘Andor’ Creator Tony Gilroy Gives the Interview He Couldn’t During Its Release While promoting his cautionary tale about fascism, Disney asked Gilroy to refrain from using the word. Nine months after it aired its finale, the 'Star Wars' series feels scarily prescient.

“We were stunned [about the prescience] for a while, but we’ve really gotten to the point where it’s really sad. It’s just sad how predictable and lame and obvious and wrong it all is. Fascism is just a total fail in the end.” www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-featur...

This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.

I can confirm this is true and I can also say that the lack of an eviction moratorium is fueling this trend.

Friends from Minneapolis reporting to me that things are at the point where folks are being hidden in other people's houses and we are in the "again" part of "never again" which the "never" was supposed to preclude

This is the SECOND time in the last three months that the Bloomington MN PD has caught an ICE employee in an underage sex trafficking sting.
Immigrants are clearly not the danger we need to worry about most.
