It is 10000x easier to explain two men kissing to a child than it is to explain the concept of a “McDonald’s franchise”

Elon Musk is now worth over $800 billion.

Tesla reported paying ZERO federal income tax on $5.7 billion of U.S. income in 2025.

Meanwhile, millions of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck and household debt has risen to a record high.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Three smiling transmasculine athletes stand arm-in-arm on a rocky beach. The person on the left wears a black and white cycling jersey reading "BODIES ARE NOT BANS," black cycling shorts, and holds a transgender pride flag draped over their shoulder. The person in the middle wears black swim briefs and has a finisher medal around their neck. The shirtless person on the right has multiple tattoos, wears black running shorts with a small trans flag patch, and is holding up their finisher medal. The individuals in the middle and on the right have visible top surgery scars.
​The logo for the publication "them" is in the top left corner. Large white text overlaid across the bottom of the image reads: "A Transmasc Ironman Trio Won Third Place in a Relay, Beating Over 200 Other Teams by Mathew Rodriguez".

When trans masc athletes start winning competitions regularly, they'll ban them too and use the excuse of "doping" to do it. That blows up their whole "biological sex" argument though.

Now having spent the past couple of years watching endless atrocities in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran, and the efforts made by parties on both the left and the right to deny these crimes, to criminalize protest, and to shut down people who remind us that those under the rubble are people too, it has also made me rethink what Islamophobia actually is. That the rhetoric that has been used to undermine and at times criminalize Muslim life in the West is not dissimilar from that used by American and European politicians to justify mass slaughter and to legitimize genocide. The Islamophobia that prevails in the West is one that argues that any kind of public participation – be it prayer, or by voting – for Muslims is inherently suspicious and actively undermining concepts of the Western world. It doesn’t take much to expand that further in suggesting that any kind of Muslim presence represents an existential danger. In this view perhaps Muslim life should not exist at all.

So then where should we begin? Perhaps by refusing to indulge the right in its semantic games, false equivocations, and pseudo-intellectualism that rationalizes, and often valorizes, the dehumanization of Muslims at home and abroad, championing hatred and violence against them. Instead it is worth looking at figures like Zohran Mamdani, who by directly referring to Islamophobia as anti-human politics, recognizes it for what it actually is. Not just as a scourge that degrades politics and culture, but a symptom of a deeper moral decay, one in which there will never be enough people to strip of their humanity in order to keep the market running. It just happens to be our turn this time.

WNBA Players Had an Ace Up Their Sleeve in Pay Negotiations: A Nobel Laureate Harvard economist Claudia Goldin helped WNBA players win a nearly 400% raise. Starting this season, players’ average salary will top $580,000.

After Claudia Goldin became the first woman to win a solo Nobel in economics, she got hundreds of invitations.

She accepted three.

One was advising WNBA players on a labor deal. She helped players land the biggest % raise in US sports history.

food deserts are so real. the worst are native reservations that have only a 99¢ store or gas station nearby, or they have to drive like an hour to walmart. it is on purpose just like fast food is on every corner in low income areas, but grocery stores are tens of miles out

Heritage saying they’ll use KOSA to censor trans people

The thing about the whole “social media addiction” campaign from Heritage and all the other far right fundamentalist groups, is that they’re openly bragging about how they’ll use these “kids online safety” legal precedents/laws to censor LGBTQ ppl off the internet
