Trans athletes are a tiny % of all athletes. Fewer than 10 out of >500k US college athletes identify as trans. I don’t hear anything abt them haze raping. Yet, 1 in 5 women will be raped during their time in college. How about bitching against frat houses who drug & gang rape women & get away w/it?

If no one has standing to sue Trump in court to stop his lawlessness, then it’s imperative to elect members of Congress who will. www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

How Donald Trump Outmaneuvers the Supreme Court
In both the ballroom and the mail-in-ballot cases, the President has tested the Justices’ willingness to stop him in his tracks.

I cannot stress enough how important it is to vote all the way down the ballot. Yes we must win back power in Congress but while we are at it let’s flip some state legislatures and retain and elect Democratic judges. Make your plan and let’s get this #BlueWaveIn60Days

This iconic 1971 photo of Gloria Steinem and Dorothy Pitman Hughes has always said so much without saying a word. Two women. Two raised fists. One shared fight for equality. Dorothy passed in 2022. Now Gloria is gone too. Two giants who helped change America. Rest in power, Gloria. ✊🏼✊🏾

Supreme Court Allows Trump Plan to Restrict Mail-In Voting, for Now
The administration asked the court to clear the way for President Trump’s order that creates “state citizenship lists” and directs the Postal Service to decide who gets a mail-in ballot.

Douthat is a lying shill for the far right. Connecticut has a good public school system and a fine governor. Good senators too...especially Chris Murphy. Want to see civic and educational collapse...visit a red state, like Missouri, Alabama, Mississippi or Florida.

Truly hilarious that he's moving to 60 Minutes. Add "the importance of attractive on-air talent" to the list of things Bari Weiss does not understand about television. Douthat combines sloppily-reasoned shit-takes with general physical repulsiveness. It should work out great for CBS.

I actually think this statement is a big deal. Because it tells you all you need to know. They believe, in their bones, in an imperial presidency where the executive rules absolutely and uses his power to destroy enemies and enrich himself.

Just to clarify. I loathed him, before I even knew what party he might have affiliated with. He was, to me, way back in the 80s, the epitome of what used to be called 'The Ugly American'. I loathe him even more now. I just want him gone. #NeverTrump #Resist @bluestormcomin1.bsky.social

Amazon, which saved $4B in taxes under Trump's Big Ugly Bill, has cut 30,000 jobs since last October. Verizon, which saved $2B, plans to cut 15,000 jobs this year. Meta, which saved $3B, plans to lay off 20% or more of its workforce. Trickle-down economics is a cruel joke.

Here’s a thought for James Comer. There IS a First Lady who has had a relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. And it’s not Hillary Clinton. It might be worthwhile for Comer to subpoena the First Lady who actually knows Epstein. You know, just to see what she knows.

A tariff “refund” mostly goes to whoever wrote the tariff check: the importer of record. That’s not the same person who paid more at the register. So refunds -- if they're offered -- might sound like consumer relief, but in reality, they're corporate windfalls.
