Tomorrow Wes Streeting will remove trans minors ability to access, and doctors to prescribe, cross-sex hormones.
Try as it might Labour will never eradicate trans people. They cannot, and should not, change who they are. All Labour will do is make trans lives harder - with more harm and more death.
Wisconsin liberals have a chance next month to go up 5-2 on the state supreme court for the first time in modern history. If they succeed, they'll also block conservatives from earning a court majority through the next presidential election and until at least 2030.
New preview in @boltsmag.org:
In every Republican presidency of my lifetime there's been a recession and a new war in the Middle East.
Looking at the 2024 crime figures, it's absolutely insane how Trump, tech billionaires, and centrist pundits fooled everyone into thinking Biden had turned the U.S. into some Hobbesian hellscape.
50-year lows for violent crime, armed robbery, property crime. Second-lowest homicide rate.
i’m so excited for peace in the Middle East. we’re only one war away.
The Trump regime illegally bombed a school in Iran and the opposition leader demands…an immediate briefing.
the fecklessness of establishment Dems comes from the fact that they agree with much of what Trump is doing.
they want aggressive immigration enforcement. they want to blow shit up in Iran.
for them, Trump is a sin eater who's brashly doing what they've been trying to do politely for a generation
There was a joke that @michaelhobbes.bsky.social made on his podcast about supporting Broken Windows theory for the ultra-wealthy. And I unironically think that's actually a legitimate proposal.
Wasn't he whining about not getting the Nobel Peace Prize like a week ago
The concept of this entire season hinging on Maura Higgins. #thetraitorsUS
characteristically good work from Serwer. again saying: we have an elite impunity problem and a lot of the people and institutions that nominally oppose Trump will burn down their own before admitting that this helped produce him
the entire pitch of Cuomo was that sure he's a loathsome sex pest but he has what it takes to stand up to Trump, and then the hot leftist starts every phone call with "what's up big dog" and gets Trump to do whatever he wants.
The lack of self awareness and remorse shown by every one of the judges and producers on the ANTM doc is breathtakingly vile
Thor and Dany patronisingly smile meme
Tyra Banks all through the ANTM doc while dodging any ounce of real accountability:
watching episode 2 of ANTM and Danielle is here and once again I have to say that these women are absolutely stunning in their 40s
I do want all the producers tried for war crimes but I’m so happy to see all the former contestants again and get their adult perspectives on this shitshow
These anti-fat activist screeds always include a blithe acknowledgement that fat activists are correct on the merits.
"To be sure, weight and health aren't perfectly correlated, fatphobia is widespread and losing weight is extremely difficult..."
Right, but that's the entire thing!
I have no interest in policing other people's personal health choices in any way. If you're taking a GLP-1 and happy with it, then I'm happy.
But we're never going to be a country without fat people — or the need to treat each other with grace and humanity regardless of size.
Conservative and reactionary centrist media is trying to set up a narrative in which GLP-1s are some kind of existential threat to body positivity and fat activism.
It's bullshit. If you want to lose weight, go for it. But not everyone can or wants to — and they deserve equal treatment regardless.
J.I.B.C. is 19-years-old and has pending applications for Special Immigrant Juvenile status and asylum. (J.I.B.C. Decl. ¶ 1.) On January 13, 2026, he was leaving TMobile when another car struck his own. (Id. ¶¶ 3–4.) Agents surrounded him, opened the car doors, and wrenched him out. (Id. ¶ 4.) J.I.B.C. offered to show the agents his immigration documents, but the agents said they did not need to see them. (Id. ¶ 6.) When he pulled out his cell phone, the agents
threw him to the ground. (Id. ¶ 5.) The immigration documents were left inside his car. (Id. ¶ 6.) Several hours after arriving at Whipple, J.I.B.C. was allowed one phone call. (Id. ¶¶ 8, 12.) There was no privacy—it was a shared phone, located in a hallway between cells with agents nearby. (Id. ¶ 12.) J.I.B.C. told his girlfriend he had been detained; she said she would find a lawyer. (Id. ¶ 13.) Agents told J.I.B.C. to tell her that he was going to El Paso, Texas. (Id.) That day, J.I.B.C. was transferred to Texas. (Id. ¶ 15.) During his weeklong detention, he was allowed only two calls. (Id. ¶ 22.) Officers pressured people to sign voluntary self-deportation papers; many did. (Id. ¶ 23.) Agents told J.I.B.C. that he would be detained longer if he fought his case. (Id.)
ICE agents crashed directly into a 19-year-old refugee's car, pulled him out from the wreck, threw him on the ground, then rushed him off to detention before he could locate the immigration papers in his car that proved he's here lawfully. democracyforward.org/wp-content/u...
This whole fight over transgender stuff happening on X is so weird to me. The most notable thing about trans issues in the last 5 years has been the enormous, coordinated anti-trans activism campaign across the right, aided by moral cowards in the center.
But that campaign is *never mentioned*.
The UK arrested Prince Andrew. Hakeem Jeffries is telling Democrats not to boo Trump at the State of the Union.
OH THEY ARRESTED ANDREW LMAO
I love when the members of Congress - both Dems and Republicans - about things like whether ICE should have to use judicial warrants or be banned from deporting citizens like they're new.
These things are already the law! ICE just isn't following the law.
Dem leadership for generations: no you fool, you infant. It is a process. It takes time and political capital and expertise, it's-
Mamdani, dusting off his hands: fixed it
Dem leadership: what do you mean you fixed it
Mamdani: Just had to unplug it.
Very similar dynamic to now, where people in the Trump Administration keep stating publicly, “I am doing this racist thing racistly because I love racism” and the entire media is like “his motivations, what could they possibly be?!”
Every person who spent significant offline time with Epstein should be assumed to know about the girls, the eugenics or both. What else were they talking about? Sports?
1. The new batch of Epstein documents helps illuminate one contemporary controversy: What is Bari Weiss up to at CBS? I think the answer is she is trying to rehabilate the Epstein network as a bulwark of reactionary centrism. Let me explain.
34,000 signing up for this work AFTER seeing their fellow citizens gunned down by federal thugs in cold blood? I'm chugging whatever the opposite of doomerism is
