Um, he's antifa. My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with a girl who saw Ferris firebomb the 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious.

this rule was issued by #HHS under Biden. #Texas isn't the only state. there are others. all states that will come after #women. #transgender people and families. #lgbtq. there is much more to the invasion of blue states by these regressive regimes.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti alongside 14 other Republican state attorneys general, Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey, and an anti-abortion doctor in Texas are suing the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to invalidate the 2024 HIPAA Privacy Rule and take protections against reproductive health criminalization away from patients. If these lawsuits succeed, patients and providers could be exposed to criminal investigations and liability for seeking or providing reproductive health care. Chaos and confusion around legal risks in the fallout could have a chilling effect on abortion access and further scare providers away from providing reproductive care.

Today, Senator Kaine and I will force the Senate to vote on the administration’s decision to blow up ships in the Caribbean.

If a president can unilaterally put people or groups on a list and kill them, there is no meaningful limit to his use of force.

labour/democrats/whoever are not losing because they’re discussing supporting trans people. they’re losing because they agreed, by engaging in the argument at all, with the premise that some minority groups can be blamed for social problems.

it’s only ever going to be a question of who is blamed.

frankly. shouldn't people being brutalized across the country be reason enough? all of this. all of it is because the fat waddling tyrant needs to go to jail. not the cushy kind.

Donatello's David is getting long overdue attention. i adore the saucy hat. the sultry contrapasso stance. but. especially the back of the #sculpture the way the feather is tickling David's inner thigh... this. is my David.

Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"
