The founders, in the Treaty of Tripoli -- begun under Washington, signed by Adams, ratified by a Senate filled with other crafters of the Constitution -- said "the Government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion."

Tom Emmer is a dumb-as-dirt bigot.

Damn, I thought I'd lined up an interview with arch coup plotter Rep. Scott Perry in which he'd have the chance to explain/argue/prove his claim that j6 and the coup plot never happened. Alas ...

They paused Oversight Committee hearings the minute we started getting answers about the Epstein files.

Now it’s “roundtables”: no rules, no oaths, no subpoenas.

You do the math. Because the moment accountability shows up, they shut it down. The survivors deserve better.

This local Wolfdog joined an Olympic ski event and triggered the finish-line camera. This is Nazgul. He snuck into a cross-country skiing sprint this morning and raced the homestretch with some competitors before being escorted home. 14/10 someone get him a medal

People need to understand just how openly genocidal the rhetoric on the far right is getting towards transgender people. They're openly talking about eradicating us and forcefully mass institutionalizing all trans people.

These are people with direct ties to the Trump administration.
Screenshot of two tweets from Matt Walsh’s verified Twitter account (@MattWalshBlog). First tweet (17 hours ago): “It’s time to have a national conversation about common sense restrictions on transgenders.” The tweet has 1.3K comments, 3.8K retweets, 42K likes, and 1M views. Second tweet (18 hours ago): “It wasn’t all that long ago that anyone who identified as the opposite sex would be involuntarily committed to an insane asylum. Does anyone at this point seriously think that our current approach is an improvement?” The tweet has 666 comments, 1.9K retweets, 21K likes, and 362K views. First tweet is by Michael Knowles (@michaeljknowles), reposted by Christopher F. Rufo. It reads: “For the good of society and especially for the good of the poor people who have fallen prey to this delusion, transgenderism must be eradicated from public life entirely—the whole preposterous ideology, at every level.” The tweet has 816 comments, 2.4K retweets, 17K likes, and 379K views. Second tweet is by Christopher F. Rufo (@realchrisrufo), 20 hours ago: “The trans cult hatched such an enormous propaganda campaign, that, for a number of years, they were able to obscure an obvious truth: pumping kids full of synthetic hormones, while telling them they can change from boy to girl, will only end in tragedy or disaster.” The tweet has 878 comments, 1.5K retweets, 9.2K likes, and 120K views. Third tweet is also by Christopher F. Rufo, 20 hours ago: “We should now put to rest the libertarian delusion that transgenderism is a matter of ‘personal choice,’ or ‘live and let live.’ It’s an ideology that has done grave damage to millions of Americans, and has unleashed a nihilistic wave of violence on our society. Enough.” The tweet has 921 comments, 1.5K retweets, 9.6K likes, and 293K views.

They're openly calling to lock up every trans person by force. We need every ally to speak out forcefully against this because trans folks cannot do this on our own.
Alt text: A tweet from Joey Mannarino (@JoeyMannarinoUS) dated August 27, 2025. The tweet calls for Health and Human Services to violate HIPAA laws and forward information about every transgender and transgender-questioning person to law enforcement for immediate detainment, claiming they are killing children in schools. It describes this as a matter of national security, says transgender people should be locked away and studied, calls for medical professionals who enable transitions to be expelled from the profession, and demands that the federal government treat transgender people as if they were terrorist organizations. The tweet shows it was last edited at 1:11 PM and has 5,049 views.

No particular reason
4 strip comic. first frame, we see Horst Wessel and two other storm troopers carrying a large nazi flag. text reads : Horst Wessel was a young storm trooper recognized as a skilled public speaker by the nazi party. he also wrote the song that became the partys anthem and german co-national anthem until 1945. second frame, we see a portrait of Horst. text reads : in 1930, his landlady hired two men who happened to be communists to evict him over unpaid rent and alleged proxenetism. He died in the fight. thrid frame, we see Goebbels speaking in front of a large crowd. text reads : Goebbels, the nazi chief propagandist, had been looking for someone to turn into a christian martyr for the party and drum up enrollment. he turned wessel's funeral into a major propaganda event full of speeches antagonizing leftists. fourth frame, we see the State Farm Stadium with a large banner advertizing Charlie Kirk's funeral. text reads : thinking about him today for no particular reason.

Respectful debates
four frame comic. someone with a microphone is doing a voxpop in front of a supermarket. he asks a buff guy with a red cap : sir! in the wake of Charlie Kirk's death, do you think the left is incapable of respectful debates? the guy replies : kirk thought women, people of colour and trans people didn't deserve their rights. Entertaining his ideas in a debate is actively legitimizing them. Why did he only debate college kids instead of other pro debaters like himself? he wasn't interested in debates, he was on a mission to radicalize the youth by normalizing his hateful discourse in the public space. which is precisely what he has been accusing teachers who were making their classrooms inclusive of doing, as he was doxxing them on his website to ruin their lives. is that your idea of a "respectful debate"?

Stay safe. Sources and documents in the replies.
4 frame comic. in the first frame, the fbi building. text reads : according to insiders, the fbi is preparing to label trans people as "violent extremists". second frame, we see the Heritage foundation logo. text reads : the news came out moments before a new policy proposal by the heritage foundation, the organization behind project 2025, was released. this policy would label trans people and their allies as "domestic terrorists". third frame, we see four pages from a document. text reads : the document uses the murder of charlie kirk as a reason to designate "trans-ideology-inspired violent extremism" as a domestic terrorism threat category and to "use the full toolkit of the fbi to prevent future attacks inspired by the ideology." fourth frame, just text : after blaming 50% of school shootings since 2015 on it, the proposal goes on to define "trans-ideology-inspired violent extremism" as : claims of trans people's right to exist; lack of respect for genetic realities; use of terminology such as : cisgender, misgendering, trans genocide... make sure the trans people in your life are SAFE.

It's never too late.
4 frame comic. 1st frame is Charlie Kirk recording a podcast. text reads : It's never too late to realize that you've been duped by authoritarians offering you convenient scapegoats to your problems. Second frame is a silhouette in the dark in front of a computer screen. text reads : there is no shame in admitting that you once spoke from a place of prejudice or ignorance. third frame, we see someone using a bellow to light a fire. text reads : I bet fanning the flame of hatred must have felt nice and warm... purposeful even, in the coldness of our world. fourth frame is the silhouette of a demonstration with banners and raised fists. text reads : it might be a long journey to redemption, but it is the only destination worth it. There is a place for you in the resistance.

This Mattie Lubchansky comic seems topical again.
A four-panel comic. Panel 1: A guy looks in on a lady who's crying and says, "Hey, is everything okay?" She replies, "It's just... the Bone Farmer... he died." Panel 2: He: "He was that thing that would break into people's homes and steal their skeletons while they slept, right?" She: "So sad." Panel 3: They are looking at a picture of what I would describe as an interdimensional monster with way too many eyes and teeth. And a bowtie. She: "I mean obviously: IDEOLOGICALLY I didn't agree with him. With regards to skeleton ownership. But his smart li'l bowtie!" He: "You have to admire his tenacity for a cause he BELIEVED IN!" Panel 4: A man in a gigantic glass jar whose body appears to be pretty much just a shapeless lump resting on the bottom of it, obviously missing a skeleton: "Gonna have to disagree with you folks here." The first guy: "Too SOON, Geoff!"

Tulsi Gabbard is right to say that the killing of Charlie Kirk is like 9/11 in that right after both happened, conservatives immediately blamed the wrong people for it
