trans people are the reason Bluesky exists and has gotten to where it is today IN SPITE OF Jay Graeber, actually.

This isn't "collateral damage." It's collective punishment, and it's a war crime.
oh look now he's actively choosing to veto bills, not just passively signing what the legislature sends him but actively CHOOSING to OPPOSE otherwise-passed trans friendly legislation
nobody better ever tell me again newsom has anything but disdain for trans people
When Massachusetts passed a "millionaires tax" in 2023, conservatives claimed the rich would flee.
But two years later, they haven't β and MA has collected $5.7B for infrastructure and public education.
A reminder that positive change can still happen at the state level.
A politician that doesn't fully support queer rights is a politician that doesn't receive support from me.
It's 2026. Enough of this.
It's really good. I really like their mashed potatoes with curry gravy, too.
... if he doesn't sign bills, they become law anyway. He can't actually hold up the passing of laws; he can only remove himself from the process.
Change will be hard. Many corporate Dems and centrists will wet their beds and cry. They will do everything to keep their feathered nest.
It's time to clean house and make life uncomfortable for them. It's the only way for us to have a chance.

Screenshot of my account on Twitter of the post I made that caused a lot of issues. Reads: βYou ARE NOT for art liberation if you donβt make space for the weird art, the immoral art, the art the makes you uncomfortable, the art that makes you unfollow, the art that your friend hates, the fetish art, the kink art, theβ

My colleague Jack Baker broke yesterday allegations by Kat's campaign that Fine's field director attempted to covertly get info about campaign strategy.
Today, Kat's campaign provided us video of the incident and named the alleged spy: Madeleine McGrath.

Two of my favorite piano concertos are those of Poulenc and Britten--Rawsthorne's contains elements that to me resemble both, and so I'm greatly enjoying this piece. (I recently stumbled onto his quintet for piano and winds and I was rather taken by it as well.)
BREAKING:
A federal judge in Washington just ruled that Kari Lake has unlawfully served as chief executive of the U.S. Agency for Global Media β which oversees Voice of America β and nullified many actions she has taken in the role, including mass layoffs of staff.
Again: BlueSky is really funny to me, because it was made by a bunch of tech entrepreneur-types and theyβre instinctually driven towards bad ideas, but then they unexpectedly got saddled with a user base of furries and trans people that keeps pointing out that their ideas are bad, and they HATE it.
Staff at the nationβs largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.
This is such a nonsensical post overall (you miss... the last day of winter break? what?), but mostly I am just thinking about how conservatives are the ones defunding parks, playgrounds, and schools, so they really have no one to blame but themselves here.
And it's not even confirmed in any way that sexism was a major factor in their defeat. They just assume it because they're women. And *that* seems pretty sexist.
They say it's because she's a Black woman because that way they can ignore her horrible policies and campaign strategies.
They point to Clinton and Harris and say "That proves voters are too sexist," when it's literally just two points of data. Just two.
Democrats are still jacking off to the Cheneys even though it only harmed their election chances.

This seriously feels like throwing us crumbs to keep us placated and distract us from how they're not actually wanting to fix anything.

Both! At the same time!
ICE's terror did not start with Noem and won't end now that she is gone. The whole agency continues to act with impunity, attacking the press, and silencing dissent. We must MELT ICE and dismantle DHS.
SΓ‘nchez: βYou may have heard that Spain is alone. Theyβre the same people who said that when we recognized the State of Palestine, and then others followed.
