Can someone please explain to me where all the mediocre men get their audacity from? Because they seem to have a disproportionate amount and I could honestly use a little more.

For fuck's sake people. How much greed and corruption does it take for people to fight for something?
Maybe we shouldn't call it giving away money when billionaires give it to themselves.
Elon Musk’s foundation gave away a record $474 million in 2024, with the vast majority again going to entities he controls

Bridging my current life in Chicago and my past life in D.C., I argue today at @newrepublic.com that Democrats should ~never~ vote to fund this government. Make John Thune blow up Senate rules and Republicans wholly own the U.S. extra-military military doing war crimes against us, funded by us.
The Case for the Forever Shutdown
Senate Democrats actually allowing the GOP to stop funding the government is only the first step. Now they have to make the case that Trump’s government is illegitimate.

People often mistake my commitment to wanting everyone to have human rights and healthcare to mean I love everyone or something.

I do not.

I just think baseline survival shouldn't be based on who I personally like.

I reserve the right to hate folks and never ever give them a moment of time, tho.
“So, you’re going to disown or disregard someone just because their politics…”

YES! Next question!

Wow! France gifted her to us, and now they’ve captured what so many Americans are feeling on Independence Day. The values the Statue of Liberty stood for are no more.

📌 A stunning mural of the Statue of Liberty covering her face was unveiled in Roubaix, France, on July 3, 2025.

Absolutely the fuck not. I, a cis woman, the demographic J.K. Rowling claims to be "protecting", am a little scared now going into women's bathrooms, because I don't fit into the neat little box of what a woman should look like and now I wonder every time if that will translate into danger for me.
JK Rowling explicitly calls on her followers to engage in vigilante actions against people they suspect are trans in bathrooms.

This is incredibly dangerous and far more likely to result in violence against gender nonconforming cis women.

This framing exists because the decision is instantly obvious as one of the legal atrocities of US history, like Dred Scot, the 1870s Civil Rights Cases, Korematsu. The Times doesn’t want to say “The Supreme Court stripped rights out of law” so instead it says “Here’s why they did it to themselves”

TREVOR PROJECT HOTLINE - UPDATE

I deleted my post about the Trevor Project's hotline—see: @emceebois.bsky.social's clarification ⬇️. Please share the clarification far & wide.

And if you need to talk:

Hotline: 1-866-488-7386
Text: Text ‘START’ to 678-678
Chat: www.thetrevorproject.org/get-help/
CLARIFICATION :

The Trevor Project's hotline will still be live. But basically this means LGBTQ people can no longer be connected to it through the US national 988 suicide prevention hotline.

They will need to be contacted DIRECTLY

So spread this around

They can be texted. They can be called.

They might remove them from the general public, but they keep some available for families to have siblings. (I think the post is BS too)
Reputable clinics remove donor sperm after 6 live births. If he has done this, and I doubt he has for several reasons, he’s in some deep DEEP shit

Terrible Gallup poll today. Lots of bad anti-trans sentiment, but this one really blew my mind and should be VERY eye opening to our LGB folks:

America is about to cross back over into being gay or lesbian is something that is caused externally (and therefore "fixable" with conversion therapy)

If you don't want to be compared to the Gestapo, consider not engaging in these activities:

• campaigns of terror
• kidnapping
• separating families
• rounding up and imprisoning people for having the wrong opinions
• sending people to foreign gulags with no due process
• concentration camps

JUST BECAUSE THE CLOWN CAR GOES VERY FAST DOES NOT MEAN IT ISN’T FULL OF CLOWNS
the speed at which these guys have broken everything has given a lot of folks who should know better the impression that they are an unstoppable force and the only option is to negotiate the terms of surrender

just because the clown car goes very fast does not mean it isn’t full of clowns
Whatever the immediate fallout of the scandal, what is going to stick around is the impression it gives, of hapless idiots doing ridiculous things. And I think that seriously reduces the appeal of capitulating to these jokers.
