Something small and silly that makes me happy- whenever Iโ€™m quoted or introduced using they pronouns. I use both she and they, but they gives me a little happy boost for whatever reason.

Sorry but CNN did not report that, no matter how much weโ€™d like to see such a strong rebuke of his performance. Please check to verify sources and donโ€™t spread disinformation.

A simple search of CNN would show that this is not factual. Please donโ€™t spread disinformation, we all gotta work hard to stay grounded in reality and fact to be effective opposition.

TFW you call your representative to ask what they are going to do to stop the president from following through on his statement that he intends to commit genocide and you are told to look at her webpage because she has issued a statement.

I thought the story about Marco Rubioโ€™s shoes was so stupid and outlandish that it must be a joke or else propaganda to make his administration look (even) dumb(er). But nope, these clowns out here wearing giant, ugly shoes to please their demented overlord. Wild. Truth is stranger than fiction.

4th Circuit Rules That States Can Compel Trans Adults To "Appreciate Their Sex" Via Care Bans They ruled that states "encouraging citizens to appreciate their sex" through care bans is a constitutional goal, affirming West Virginia's Medicaid ban for trans adults.

1. Horrifying ruling out of the 4th Circuit.

An all-Republican 4th Circuit panel has just ruled that states can compel trans adults to "appreciate their sex" by enacting care bans.

It even directly says that trans adult care bans are legal in the ruling.

I have seen this in action from other companies. They basically use all the data they have about you, if youโ€™re not logged in or on your own device they look at IP address location etc and change prices based on the maximum they think youโ€™ll pay. So there is a common floor but a flexible ceiling.

Anyone supporting the U.S. and Israel in this war is supporting ecological destruction, along with bombing of schools and hospitals. You donโ€™t get to pick and choose what parts of war you support.

Every time a woman runs for president I hear that sheโ€™s too emotional and unstable to make wartime decisions, unlike the men in charge who make really reasonable decisions like bombing kids to death, starting water wars, and poisoning the entire planet

Anyone else just feel like an impotent asshole calling their senators and representatives and having to say things like "Hi, yeah I'm disgusted that our country bombed a school with children for a war we don't want and can't afford and I'm scared about the future please do something."
