1/ JK Rowling and the anti-trans movement are trying to rescind civil rights, many of which were settled law before I was even born.

I spent $30,000 twenty years ago on vaginoplasty. This made me legally female in every state I’ve ever lived in and federally.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 91st day out of the last 103.

12 days of work in 103 days.

With full pay and benefits.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

One has a solemn duty to shame, shrink & ridicule Group B

A scoop that I’m not happy to report:

CBS News has gutted its climate change reporting team, one of the best in the business, and one of the only ones on cable news that consistently called out fossil fuels as the main source of climate pollution.

it's funny when people say they want doctor who to go back to not being political when every single alien planet the first doctor visited had him helping an oppressed minority overthrow their oppressors (to the point where it's boring because they basically just copy/pasted the same plot every time)
