This is so important to know. Very, very few kids get surgery. Of those, it’s almost exclusively trans boys getting breast reductions, because they didn’t get puberty blockers at puberty onset. This is a surgery cisgender youth get much more often than trans ones.
Omar: I came to this country as a refugee. To me, America was a beacon of hope. A place where freedom wasn't just a word, but it was a promise. I could have never imagined the day would come when we were staring down at this kind of creeping authoritarianism.

I’m all for white republican males dying virgins. Everyone knows white males, by and large have never ever actually fought for or fought with women for our rights. 60% of white males consistently vote republican. Republicans hate women. They always have.
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.
To whoever did this at the #NoKings in Boston: Thank you.❤️
It made me tear up. And we must to be reminded of needless damage to humanity that results directly from the careless, bellicose bluster coming from the Pentagon and White House.
Trans rights, ending ICE, and freeing Palestine all got huge cheers at my local No Kings protest. These are mainstream positions for the Democratic electorate. The party needs to fucking catch up.
We had literal years of coverage of the "tea party" which had a fraction of #NoKings support and was entirely astroturfed by rightwing moneyed interests. Seriously, fuck The New York Times. Fucking trash rag.
if nothing else, there is something to be said for spending time outside in the sun with thousands of people who share your anger at the state of things
a tumblr post with a user named bvckbiter writing "is this character good or bad" "is this shop unproblematic or not" "is this arc deserving of redemption or not" girl... underneath it is a screenshot from the show shōgun of a character saying "i don't have time for this christian nonsense"
How I feel reading 99% of art and media critique these days
Again, the first Tea Party rallies in April 2009 -- heavily promoted in advance by Fox News -- only had about 300,000 attendees across 750 cities, but the media treated it like the Second American Revolution.
There will be multiple *individual* No Kings rallies today that have more people at them.
I don’t agree with Hasan on everything but the race to try to deplatform him or compare him to Nick Fuentes is pure insecure hater shit from a bunch of think tank freaks.
It was…. massive. Looking at it front near the stage, the sea of people just kept on going. I was expecting big. I wasn’t expecting that tbh with you

Their counterargument has always been, and never been more complex than, "Shut up, ugly."
The "wine mom" thing is a rhetorical cudgel used to reinforce patriarchy and delegitimize groups of women making a difference in their communities.
Not sure what this normies stuff is about but if you haven't noticed nice ladies do a lot of the activist work in this country and have since the abolitionist movement, you maybe should.
#NoKings from the arctic in Utqiaġvik, Alaska the northernmost city in the entire USA!
Post from Patty Murray: Republicans' SAVE Act will make it HARDER and more EXPENSIVE for certain groups to vote
Are you a married woman who enjoys exercising your constitutional right to vote?
This afternoon, Senate Republicans and Trump hope to make it much harder for you.
Call your senator and tell them to vote NO on the "SAVE" Act. act.indivisible.org/sign/stop-go...
Republicans claim that Markwayne Mullin will be a "course correction" for ICE.
Don't believe a word. If they thought that was true, they'd vote for Democratic reforms at DHS.
Also, Mullin is a dumb dickhead. An analysis.

Gen AI is dead-tech walking, despite the money being burned in its slop-belching furnace.
It lost the artists
Lost the writers
Lost the philosophers
Lost the gamers
Lost comic fans
It’s losing scientists, educators, HCPs
Who is left? CEOs? Some devs? Revenge porn creeps? MAGA?
Keep pushing
CEO makes $100M, lays off workers for more profit
Artist makes $250K, cries in tears of joy, says he doesn't deserve it
The wrong people are in power
see?
here's the thing. A lot of people are like, the earth is fucked, it's beyond salvation, it's hit the tipping point, but time and time again we see that if we just fucking fixed the problem, it rebounds so incredibly fast. Imagine what could be done if people actually cared
There's a lot of misogyny in that, obviously, and in many awful flavors, but I think there's also mixed in there a very peculiar kind of consumer-brained entitlement. We expect that the big corporations will fuck us over every two seconds, and we expect to be utterly powerless to do anything about it because all they give a shit about is Line Go Up, but indie creators (especially if they are not men) are expected to be the balm to that infected rash. Where everything else in the world is painful and mean and uncomfortable, independent queer creators are expected to produce the comfortable swaddling bandage that dulls the pain and soothes the sensitivity. This is supposed to be our happy place, our safe place. It's supposed to be ours and belong to us and serve us. And so they moment they produce friction, any friction, literally the tiniest amount of friction imaginable, well that's a failure! You are failing to live up to your purpose, and that's not just a creative failure but a moral and personal and spiritual failure too. It's a sin, in fact, it is a kind of evil. Friction hurts, and that means you are hurting me!
I love finding things that explain the screwed-upness of how major studios get away with blatantly bigoted nonsense while solo queer creators get eaten alive by self-professed innocent small beans for creating art that steps out of line
I absolutely think this is the key element in deciding to separate art and artist. Shakespeare was probably one kind of asshole or another but buying the complete works doesn’t allow him or his heirs to do more damage. It’s a critical distinction between censorship and boycott.
Key to the issue of healthcare fraud: healthcare fraud in Minnesota is peanuts. The epicenter of healthcare fraud in the US is in Florida and Texas. For some reasons, Trump is intent on looking away from it. Rick Scott knows why.
