Border Patrol agents are very sad that everyone in Minnesota hates them.
“At each gas station where the agents stopped to use the restroom, groups of agitators appeared, yelled at them, stalked them, and even tried to prevent law enforcement vehicles from leaving…”

hey I like that we're all posting thru it but I also wanted to say, in case anybody else is feeling it, that I'm pretty scared and genuinely think that we've passed a real rubicon in the past week or so and that being at the mercy of a handful of dumbfuck lunatics really does a number on your soul.

Scientific research of gender transition has been stuck on "should these people be allowed to transition" for 50 years, so we don't know shit about how transitioning actually works.
Okay, transphobes freaking out because trans woman makes good on Broadway, yadah, yadah. But you skimmed right over the interesting bit. Estrogen made her feet smaller?? This is the kind of weird factoid I need to know more about. Is there scientific backing for this? Is it just anecdotal?
Dylan Mulvaney's latest success, this time on Broadway, once again has conservative weirdos frothing at the mouth.

I think this sequence of events with Greenland (thus far) will embolden markets in the TACO theory, and thus ultimately further enable Trump's regime. Mind you I am not too much of a downer, the fact he backed down is actually good all things considered. Let's hope it holds up.

Part of the issue is that those most actively protesting and leading mutual aid are women and gender non-conforming people. Both groups are illegible to many as protesters. This helps explain the invisibilization of current protests and resistance.

I was traveling in East and Southeast Asia from Dec 2024 to late April 2025 and I met so many people from so many places who were incredibly kind and sympathetic to *me* over Trump 2.0’s vandalism of the U.S. government.
It was truly touching compassion I absolutely didn’t ask for.

I’ve lived and traveled extensively overseas and most people are lovely to Americans. I was in Japan during the election, and folks were especially polite, even consoling. We’ve had decades of reputation as an imperfect, often naive, but generally decent people. That’s gone after this.

even during the bush years, "everyone hates us" has been more about american pathology than reality.
