Yeah, so they'll fight "the left" harder and more aggressively than Trump and the Republicans? Not a good look at all.

A quick word on Taco Bell: That's where we found the suspected lettuce, and it's not bc Taco Bell is gross. It's bc Taco Bell is REALLY GOOD at tracing product! Keeping track of exactly where they got their ingredients, & exactly what restaurants each shipment of ingredients went to!

Remember this... Eire has had gender recognition based on self-ID for over 10 years with no reports of abuse or hatred. The gender critical movement in Eire is minuscule. This is a British problem. A very sick, twisted, British cult problem. It is a disturbing European outlier . This is not normal.

A number of Jewish organizations are shrilly insisting that any criticism of Israeli genocide and warmongering is an illegitimate attack on Jews. At the same time, an increasing number of non-Jewish people are insisting that any attack on Jews is a legitimate attack on Israel. This sucks, man

DHS is shutting down because it refuses to obey the law. They are tear-gassing schools, killing American citizens, and disappearing legal immigrants. Democrats shouldn’t fund an out of control ICE.

ICYMI: I introduced my Trans Bill of Rights with @markey.senate.gov — legislation to defend trans people across this country as Republicans continue to push anti-trans rhetoric and bills. To our beloved trans community: We see you, we love you, and we will always stand with you.
The image features a gradient background transitioning from pink to blue. Text reads "Introducing the Trans Bill of Rights" with an icon of a paper and pen.A colorful infographic titled "What is the Trans Bill of Rights?" outlines four points with icons: protections from employment and housing discrimination, equal access to medical treatment without discrimination, legal recognition of gender identity, and the right to use restrooms aligning with a person's gender identity.

I had THE most vivid dream last night that we formed our own ICE called BEE (Billionaire Eradication Enforcement) We all started wearing 🐝 and posters everywhere just had bees on them. And we’d all go “bzzzzzzzzz” whenever one of these fucks was in public, terrifying them. It was awesome

True: @zohranmamdani lives in 1 unit of rent-stabilized housing. Also true: Andrew Cuomo oversaw the loss of 96,064 units of rent-stabilized housing. And killed NYC’s program helping people move out of shelter. Leaders must show moral clarity. Andrew, time to move out. 🧵 x.com/andrewcuomo/...

10 Things I Wish I Knew About Product Management Sooner
Think product management is all strategy and shipping features? Think again. This brutally honest, laugh-out-loud guide dives into the real lessons PMs learn the hard way—like saying 'no' without becoming the office villain, surviving roadmap chaos, and fixing the feature no one asked for but everyone hates. Written by someone who’s been through the fire (and the Slack threads), it’s part therapy, part war journal, and all heart. If you've ever found yourself explaining why nothing shipped this sprint while silently questioning your career choices—this one’s for you. Expect awkward user interviews, polite panic, and very real truths about being the calm in the storm.

In 2012, I met Jasinta in Kenya. Her son is was born HIV-negative because of the support/meds provided by the American Centre for Disease Control. Devastating to think so many now don’t have access to this assistance because of this drug-addled prick www.saltandcaramel.com/living-hiv-p...

Phenomenal piece by @michellegoldberg.bsky.social here. (Gift link)
If there were justice in the world, Musk would never be able to repair his reputation, at least not without devoting the bulk of his fortune to easing the misery he's engendered. Musk's sojourn in government has revealed severe flaws in his character - a blithe, dehumanizing cruelty, and a deadly incuriosity. This should shape how he's seen for the rest of his public life

Ugh, that really is horrific. Those initiatives were one of the things that made that place “different” from the competition for me. A sense that the emphasis on people was a little more than lip service. So far, the new company is staying the course, fingers crossed.

92 years ago today, the Nazis raided the Magnus Hirschfeld Institute for Sexuality, where the first study of trans people was conducted, and burned all of its contents. Fitting that today is also the day SCOTUS greenlights the project of the eradication of trans people from society in the US.

One of the reasons the manosphere has been so successful is because they are able to sell their version of masculinity as an answer to insecurity. They sell the idea that you become safe by dominating, even oppressing, others. They neg boys and men and then sell them on violence to feel secure.

A reminder that this entire Trans Panic thing is just another shitty step in a long history of fake panics completely invented by political hacks. Trans people are very likely not affecting your lives at all and they certainly are not the cause of any problems on a national level. It's BULLSHIT.

So much is at stake when Germany goes to the polls tomorrow. My take on Friedrich Merz and a huge mistake he made during the campaign. While Germany can't be seen as that borderline-boring bastion of stability anymore, the centre might get its act together after all, ironically thanks to JD Vance. 👇

On Thanksgiving, I discovered a leak coming through the floorboards of my slab foundation house. The plumber couldn’t find a leak and was mystified. He blamed Molly Murderkitten and water bowl mischief Believable. LOOK AT HER. Insurance denied the claim. Fine. Got fans, rags. Water kept coming.
