Quote from Washington Times editorial board

"[Radical liberals] don't realize that, when they express contempt for the man who holds the country's highest office, they reveal their contempt for the Americans who put him there."

Uh no...we definitely realize it.

As Kagan notes in her dissent, the Court opted not to hear the due process parental rights argument against bans on gender-affirming medical care in Skrmetti, basically setting up a regime where parents can force their trans children back into the closet but cannot help them out of it

Doctors fear young at risk from β€˜black-market trans hormones’ Medics call for an urgent investigation into trans community groups offering support on accessing supplies for self-medication

Well, yes, trans people are getting drugs; yes, from entirely unregulated sources; yes, without counselling; yes, without blood tests; yes, they are self-administering; yes, without clinical oversight; yes, risking long term harm; yes, it is highly suboptimal.

What did you think would happen?

Dropout cast member Vic Michaelis speaking with police officer from The Rookie on the Game Changer set.

Absolutely devastated to learn that @dropout.tv and @samreich.bsky.social has teamed up with ABC’s β€œThe Rookie.”

Supporting dropout felt an ethical and moral choice. I guess there really is no ethical consumption under capitalism.

Remember Dropout, β€œPolice are basically an occupying army.”

I'm seeing a lot of lawsky saying how blatantly unconstitutional the Kansas law invalidating trans people's licenses is and I don't know know how to tell them that the federal court won't do anything about this. The passport case showed SCOTUS explicitly approves of this sort of thing.

Kevin Roberts, President of The Heritage Foundation, claims that evidence suggests a correlation between undergoing Trans Medical Care and acts of violence.

He states Heritage's public policy solution is to ban it for all ages and they're willing to work towards this goal on an incremental basis.

Screenshot of headline reading: Prosecutors Began Investigating Renee Good’s Killing. Washington Told Them to Stop.

Federal prosecutors had a warrant to collect evidence from Ms. Good’s vehicle, but Trump administration leaders said to drop it. About a dozen prosecutors have departed, leaving the Minnesota U.S. attorney’s office in turmoil.

This is the Trump administration trying to cover up Renee Good’s murder. No more funding for ICE. And no more funding for this lawless, lying administration.

the news cycle right now is unbearable. between the abduction & imprisonment of these children and the new wave of revelations about the child fucking elite, i just do not understand. how can you look at a child and feel any of those things. it seems incompatible with what i know about being human.

Reminder that of all the people complicit in Epstein's crimes, the only person actually held accountable and sentenced was a woman. No men involved have yet to face consequences.

The arrests of Don Lemon, Georgia Fort, and Jamael Lundy are unacceptable and a clear violation of the Constitution.

This is a dangerous abuse of power that threatens the rights of every single American.

They must be released immediately.

Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti
Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti

β€œWe are heartbroken but also very angry.

Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact.

I do not throw around the β€˜hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. 

Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.
