Trump's ICE again shoots people and then LIES To defend it. This time in Texas where ICE shot Wilber Perez and then claimed he entered "country illegally under Biden." Perez entered legally and had work permit. ICE can NOT be reformed! www.texastribune.org/2026/09/20/a...

Trump programming corporate media to cover his "ban" on three news outlets. This is a distraction from failed Iran war, higher gas prices, inflation, his corruption etc. Plus it's red meat for his base to attack media. And of course corporate media covers it as he planned.

The framing here is dumb as shit, because "stubbornly" implies that things are being done to try to bring inflation down when that is MANIFESTLY not the case.

Noticed a few double-takes and quizzical stares coming my way at the grocery store last night. At first I thought it was my weak attempt at a beard that drew attention (perhaps sympathy). But then I realized that my "Teenage Fanclub" t-shirt might not be interpreted as intended in the suburbs. 😕😳

A decade of trans advocacy has taught me people believe lies because they want to, not because they don't know they are lies. They believe trans people will regret our transition because they want us to regret our transition. They believe we are a "social contagion" because that is how they see us

If you’ve been on the Internet the past few weeks, you probably heard that MTV went off the air last Wednesday, New Year’s Eve, at midnight, after 44 years. It’s a sad moment in cultural history, and also an interesting one, in that it absolutely did not happen at all....

So many in media are ill-equipped to interview officials about what’s happening because they begin with the presumption of legitimacy and don’t know enough about history or U.S. foreign policy to foment intelligent pushback and hold officials accountable.
