If you would try to win by abandoning trans people (or any targeted group) you can save this “we need to win” talk; there is no “we.” I am about solidarity, and you have chosen anti-solidarity. You are not any “we” I recognize. You are the enemy I’m trying to defeat. Beating you is how my “we” wins.

What the fuck kind of false equivalency is this? Biden stumbled and stuttered in his speech, but he was never remotely as incoherent as this mentally scrambled dementia patient.

Facing political defeat, Trump is blaming sky high gas and diesel prices on Ukraine’s attacks against Russian oil refineries—and is limiting Ukraine’s access to Starlink to make his point. But we know the truth: it's Trump’s illegal and unwinnable war on Iran to blame.

One more thing: If you are a member of the media and you get bogged down in whether the target of an antigay attack is LGBTQ+ or not, you are consenting to a framework you should not be consenting to. Hate speech does not become *worse* if you misdirect it. In 2026, this should not need saying.

yes, I am, for once, genuinely not asking you to like her, only asking for this response: recognition that this is a racist witch hunt entirely worthy of the harshest sanctions the law has to offer, whatever you think of her as a person or politician. (do not be mean to this person, they're right!)

1. Trump’s new White House press secretary, Katie Zacharia, says she is a lawyer. She has claimed to be a lawyer repeatedly on national TV, on podcasts, and on social media. But there is no evidence that Zacharia has ever been licensed to practice law.

Not only should brooks and others shut up. But Ossoff is the best example in the country of a Democrat playing dominance politics and using it to control the whole terms of his race.

Yes, of course McDonald’s posting about National Coming Out Day is “performative.” Nobody thinks Ronald McDonald threw the first brick at Stonewall. Nonetheless, the biggest and most influential institutions in American life performing affirmation of LGBT social and civil equality is a good thing.

This is also just empirically untrue as a matter of reading consumption: women do, in fact, read books by men. It’s men who do not read books by women. I suspect the reason is not “biological.”

There will be a lot of equivocating about all the times search warrants have been executed on members of Congress for corruption investigations and the like, and it can't be stressed enough in how many ways HSI raiding Ilhan Omar is extremely not like that.

The thing about Gillis's monologue isn't just that it's misogynistic; it's that it's misogynistic in the most unoriginal, dated, cringe-ily 1982 would-be Andrew Dice Clay way. Like, wow slut shaming women in workout clothes, where'd you dig that fossil up

Trump’s making up endorsements because his rubes are too stupid to use Google. SNOPES: ABC News, CBS News, CNN, Fox News, MS NOW, NBC News, Newsmax, and NewsNation found no reporting or evidence that Denzel Washington ever publicly spoke favorably of Trump. www.snopes.com/fact-check/t...

Okay, I am looking at this gendered reading piece by Ross Barkan and I have many thoughts and questions. Part of the thesis is this:

A more challenging question can be asked: If more books were published by men with explicitly masculine themes, would there actually be a wider male readership? It’s the old chicken-and-egg dilemma. The audience won’t emerge because the product isn’t there, and the product isn’t there because the audience is elsewhere. Men, obviously, can read and enjoy books by women, but there is the sticky biological reality that, on balance, women will probably prefer reading women, and men may prefer reading men. Boys, especially, seem to long for male teachers and role models in the classroom. As they age, and if they want to read, they might be drawn to the fiction of writers like Ernest Hemingway, Raymond Carver, and McMurtry. They might want literature that, at the bare minimum, seems masculine.

I realize it often feels like nothing matters anymore, but a comedian going on SNL and calling women whores— calling the ordinary women he sees at the gym *whores* — because of their clothes matters to me. It’s really gross, and I’m glad Levy said something.
