Any trans woman who has ever been singled out among a horde of c*s 'allies' to have her pronouns asked knows these people were never our friends, I've been posting about this for years, now we can extract ourselves from the horde of parasitic social climbers using us as a cudgel.

Talking to some friends in the trans/non binary community yesterday and today. A lot of anger, not so much at voters or Democrats, but at activists, mainly those outside the community, who prioritized issues like sports over housing/jobs/healthcare and helped trigger a backlash…



Unfortunately, they only have to throw the least populous of those letters under the bus to appeal to lost sections of their base. I don't believe that the LGBQ are going to abstain in any meaningful way in unity with the T when the alternative is an outwardly homophobic party.

LGBTQ voters were 8% of the electorate, and voted 86% for Democrats in 2024. Without us, Trump would have won in a landslide. No path to victory in 2028 involves cutting us loose from the Democratic coalition. No matter how many well-paid pundit bros wish otherwise.

So far, I’ve defended the Democratic Party from all angles. I did that because their platform has been very good for trans people so far. But I knew that if Dems lose while Trump spends 250 million on an attack ad about trans people, they might abandon us. They lost. And…

Biden’s decision to be so welcoming and accepting of trans people is a gift uncherished. I will never forget he did it, never accept what will now be done to his legacy. It is a tragedy.


I'd like to order one Biden Burger with a side of Kamala Word Salad please

most people don't know this, but because of the way tax brackets are structured getting a small raise can push you into paying way more in taxes. often, it's not even worth getting the raise anymore

Here are the IRS tax brackets for 2025:

On one hand, Swayman is probably asking for a bit more money than he's currently worth. On the other hand, the Bruins fumbling things so bad they end up with neither Ulmark or Swayman is fucking hilarious so I completely support him continuing to play hardball in negotiations.


Calling it now, Stein is very unlikely to win the presidency.

President (California) Harris (D) 58% Trump (R) 36% Kennedy (I) 2% Stein (G) 2% 9/12-9/25 by University of Southern California/California State University Long Beach Center for Urban Politics and Policy/Cal Poly Pomona 1685 LV



Nah, I'm not going to waste time kissing the asses of entitled morons who are so self-centered that they value their ego and getting to sound cool, saying "both sides bad" over anything actual political gains. I'll focus on convincing the non-apathetic thanks.

The average young person feels very similar to how Chappell Roan does about the election so I would be very careful with how y'all decide to respond to her very valid perspective. Have a good day!

Steven Stamkos just scored a goal for the Nashville Predators 🙂


The thing about estrogen that doctors don't warn you about is that it will destroy the quality of your memes. My whole camera role used to be full of absolute bangers and I had a meme for every situation. Now it's just a bunch of stuff about being a fucking bottom fml.

The HRE being above water in public opinion is potentially the greatest argument I've seen against democracy.

Men's mental health is important but the fix probably isn't to ban women from tabletop gaming groups. We landed on the moon, surely we can figure out a better solution to this problem.

I’m going to be real here. You are not actually outraged by this, at all. You are pretending.
