Oh my god, this fuckin guy lives in Chicago
Free story idea for a reporter - a cis man who is selling supplements and other woo bullshit has taken over and made himself the singular mod of a bunch of women's health groups, including some for women dealing with cancer. Hes banning people left and right. This place is our lifeline.

I've seen an ESG group get a large conservative Texas employer to provide gender affirming care. Another ESG group got the same employer to pony up for abortion transportation across state lines as a benefit.

Bumping this. The bar had a Very Bad Day on Thursday. We're well on our way toward feeling a bit more normal, but this party, more than anything, is more of a cleanse of the bad feelings than anything else. Thanks to everyone for the well-wishes.
Our front door got busted. We need to fix it. We're celebrating. Our New Door Party will be Saturday, October 17, at 7pm. Austin will bring the festivities, you just need to bring yourself. See you on the 17th!

there is and always has been a huge market for "comedy" that is just a guy standing on stage saying bigoted stuff about minority groups. It's honestly just a different thing with different goals than other forms of comedy.

Jones raised nearly as much money as Tuberville in September, and Republican advertising in Alabama in the last week or so started shifting toward attacks on the Democratic nominee. Jones is still very much the underdog, but the GOP must see something in the numbers they don't like.
What a day, Huntsville. Nearly 2,000 of you showed up yesterday to rally with my friend @staceyabrams and me.
Stacey helped turn out the vote in Georgia. We can do it here in Alabama, too.

This isn’t aimed at any outlet or person, but seeing a lot of description of the agents who raided Ilhan Omar as federal or DHS agents. That’s not wrong, but they were ICE agents—Homeland Security Investigations is one of the major components of ICE.
