It’s funny how they call these things senate “hearings” but mostly they’re speakings.

I don’t know of anyone who quite so consistently said things that are great for quoting out of context as Andrea Dworkin. “Zoning is legal permission to exploit and traffic in women.” There. 🥑

„Nicht assimilierte Staatsbürger“ wird keinesfalls bei denen halt machen, die hier eingewandert oder die nicht weiß sind. Man darf sich da nicht vertun, es wird *alle* treffen, die nicht auf drei „Sieg Heil!“ rufen. Und weil man Leute nicht einfach irgendwo abladen kann, wird’s Massenmord geben

The article mentions how roughly 1.3 to 1.6% of the population is of Chinese or Hong Kong descent, among those able to vote it's about 1.2% (note: there's additional voters of Taiwanese voters descent not in this estimate). Side note: this is a number similar to the number of trans people in the US

There are so many rules specific to employment. Exit agreements are effectively part of employment conditions and there are protections for discussing those with coworkers and the idea that you can make those go away by firing somebody is outrageous tbh.

Explaining how the law and legal system works is not a defense of either. There is a growing sentiment on the left - I see it every day! - that explanations of the legal system (like, for example, why Mamdani can't legally arrest Netanyahu) are making excuses,

Fantastic protest organized by @genderlib.com to protest NYU Lagnone's deal with Trump to end gender-affirming care for trans youth. Big 🧵 of photos for ya!

I see there’s a “why won’t my kids talk to me” piece again and, like, I dunno, that seems rude and sad in the abstract, but also every specific case I’ve ever come across ends up being an obvious skill or attitude issue on the part of the parents. 🤷‍♀️

I've said it before but I'll say it again: The UK's official medical neglect of trans people & ADHDers makes a mockery of the idea it has universal healthcare. Americans often ask: "wow, you must miss the NHS, right?" And I laugh a long, hollow laugh. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

It’s very simple and it’s been said over and over but I guess it needs saying continuously: if you ignore that Dems voted 206-2 & 47-0 against the trans athlete bill & attribute a post by some rando as the position of the Democratic Party you are a fucking dishonest hack

Newsom has vetoed a bill that would have prohibited future governors from handing over abortion providers, helpers, and patients to red states for criminal prosecution. The bill also barred extraditions involving transgender care.

Over time the Gen X layer—Thiel, Paul Graham—began pushing harder the notion that spending 14-22 under the influence of school teachers and college professors was a low-agency losers’ mistake. Taking cheap early stakes, while getting unholy board powers for their protégé founders like Zuck.

I always forget that late September is Veto Season, also known as Newsom Hate Week.

There are bills that sail through every committee unanimously and then get killed by the suspense file or the governor, and nobody can tell you why, and who do hold accountable? I hate it.

California not overriding governor’s vetoes even on bills that passed with a veto proof majority is both a longstanding real thing and a bad thing.
