I literally don’t know a single woman who hasn’t been raped, stalked, groped, harassed, or sexually violated in some way at some point in their life. If you choose to doubt and dox survivors, just know every woman in your life is disgusted by you.

When authoritarians get backed into a corner, they lash out and resort to fear-mongering. This is why Trump is running ominous taxpayer funded ads. But we’re going to organize our friends and neighbors, turn out to vote in November, and deliver a resounding blue wave. Spread the word.

Rising residential school denialism and anti-Indigenous racism have created an environment where white supremacists feel emboldened to target and intimidate First Nations in their communities. It’s disgusting and completely unacceptable.

If it looks like an Amazon delivery and drives like an Amazon delivery, then it's an Amazon delivery, right? Not according to Amazon. Big companies like Amazon have built a vast network of subcontractors who deliver their packages while shielding them from accountability.

Mayor Gergely Karácsony of Budapest could teach a few American institutions how to deal with fascism. Rather than roll over to a Pride ban, he led a march of hundreds of thousands in Budapest. Now, he's being charged under their anti-Pride law. But he won't be deterred. Our latest story.

Via Dropsite News: Israel just allegedly got completely pwned by the Iranians. They supposedly leaked everything, mossad files, nuclear secrets, details on bribes, Netanyahu's personal files. If this is true, this is a historical failure of Israeli intelligence of epic proportions.
Alt text: A tweet by Drop Site News reports that a senior advisor to Iran's Supreme National Council claims Iran has obtained a large trove of Israeli intelligence documents. The tweet summarizes alleged contents of the breach, including Israel’s nuclear development roadmap, U.S. weapons imports, bribes for Arab leaders, profiles of Israeli spies, personal data from social media users, infrastructure data, legal files, information on prisoners, Netanyahu’s personal files, secret documents, surveillance data, aerial images, CCTV footage, and a banned Knesset debate recording. The claims remain unverified, and the source is described as a known Iranian proxy. A quoted tweet from Mohammad Ghaderi references Iran’s statement on the documents’ significance.

The Trump HHS' new Cass-USA report against trans youth dropped today, citing - of course - several Jesse Singal blogs and The Atlantic articles. Shockingly, one of them features this notorious birdbrain: www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc... archive.ph/iUlo0 opa.hhs.gov/sites/defaul...
Many trans people have stories like Anderson’s. For this reason, among others, trans communities can be skeptical of those who focus on negative transition outcomes. They have long dealt with “professionals who seem uncomfortable giving trans people the go-ahead to transition at all,” Zinnia Jones, a trans woman who runs the website GenderAnalysis, told me in an email. They have also faced “unnecessarily protracted timelines for accessing care, a lack of understanding or excess skepticism of our identities from clinicians, and so on.”

The innocence of Abrego Garcia, Merwil Gutiérrez, and an estimated 90% of the people sent to El Salvador proves this was never about “criminals”. It’s about racism. It’s about state terror. It’s about dehumanization. Fascism takes hold when people stay silent. It’s up to all of us to speak up.

Sex work is anthropologically indicated to be literally the foundation of all commerce, barter or trade. Chimpanzees do sex work in the wild. The last common ancestor between humans and chimps, who likely exhibited this behavior as well, is estimated to have existed at least 5 million years ago.

NEW: Fully leaked diplomatic cable directing the implementation of this policy at all US diplomatic and consular posts.
GPT-4o

This image is a document from the U.S. Department of State with the subject "Guidance to Visa-Issuing Posts on January 20 Executive Order 14168 on Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government." It outlines an action request and provides a summary and definitions related to sex and gender as per the executive order (E.O.). The document mandates that sex listed on visas must correspond to the biological sex at birth and instructs the use of the term 'sex' rather than 'gender' in federal policies and documents.GPT-4o

This image is a continuation of a document from the U.S. Department of State. It details the implementation of changes to ensure government-issued identification documents, like passports and visas, reflect the holder's sex as defined by an executive order. It states that foreign passports should be considered as evidence of the applicant’s sex but may require confirmation if discrepancies are noticed. The document outlines the process for consular officers to follow when there is a discrepancy in sex markers. It also provides action requests for updating public instructions on visa applications, specifying the requirement to select sex at birth. Existing U.S. visas that do not comply with this guidance remain valid until expiration.GPT-4o

This image is the final part of a document from the U.S. Department of State regarding guidance on an executive order about recognizing sex on government-issued documents. It explains that existing visas remain valid until expiration despite sex marker differences. The document mentions forthcoming updates to FAM guidance and outlines talking points for interacting with applicants. It reaffirms the policy to list sex, not gender identity, on U.S. visas. Additional guidance can be accessed via specified web resources. It includes contact emails for media and congressional inquiries, and is signed by various personnel involved in drafting, clearing, approving, and releasing the document.

Alt text: A tweet from Christopher F. Rufo (@realchrisrufo) posted at 5:00 PM on February 25, 2025. The tweet states that Tulsi Gabbard is preparing a memo directing all intelligence agencies to identify employees who participated in the NSA’s "obscene, pornographic, and sexually explicit" chatrooms. The memo also calls for terminating their employment and revoking their security clearances, with a deadline set for Friday.
