The feminist movement was never a threat to men.

Secure men have always understood that. They stood beside women, fought for equality, and some proudly called themselves feminists too.

If women having equal power feels like oppression to you, feminism isn’t the problem.

Important 🧵
Trump, empowered by SCOTUS, entered office convinced he could do insider trading, sell pardons and favors, take bribes, steal and openly flout the law. Now, with the prospect of investigations looming, he is growing ever more fearful that he miscalculated.

On CNN, El-Sayed is asked about this Trump post.

He says it represents "two different visions of America:"

"Two people who don't like each other but are joined in the interest of making billions of dollars off of you. Or, two people who genuinely love each other, enjoying some panacakes together."

This whole protecting women and girls thing is a bit confusing.

If you're a cis person insisting that the prospect of trans children playing youth sports is not only "a problem" but in fact one of the biggest problems we currently face as a nation, I'd be happy to introduce you to literally a million other things that should be worrying you more.

russia fuels immigration crisis (we don't have proof for Morocco but we do for Belarus) then russian media and bot networks amplify the fearmongering. Then russia funds populist far-right political parties. And we keep falling for it. Banning russian media won't be a silver bullet but it would help!
Ukraine Foreign Affairs Minister:

"We have detected intensive Russian propaganda campaign across Europe using pictures from Ceuta to sow destabilisation."

Far-right from EU (& US!) falls with open eyes for hybrid threats from the weaponisation of migration, even fan the flames.

He dumped water we needed in LA to fight the Palisades wildfires into the Central Valley just to fuck us over and it wasted water they needed for the grow season. No one remembers this either. It's insane.
It's pretty infuriating that Trump is denying disaster aid to Oregon for political reasons and I have barely heard anything about it, while Biden was falsely accused of doing the exact same thing to North Carolina and millions of people believed that

MAGA masculinity means declining to publicly criticize the man your daughter has accused of physical abuse, because doing so might prompt a senile 80-year-old man to write mean things about you.

The bad faith lies in an attempt to destroy a person, all for political points. Meanwhile, this man’s daughter has been horribly abused by a colleague, and he protects him for political reasons. Today’s GOP in a nutshell.

WALTZ: We have to take a step back. A lot of our stockpiles were depleted because of Biden

Non-educators have absolutely no idea of all the things teachers do every day. Modeling life skills & conflict resolution, being a caring adult for kids who often don’t have that in their lives, serving as a counselor and mentor, all in addition to teaching the curriculum.

interesting to me that as the administration treats democratic-voting states like conquered or occupied territories, you don’t have pundits demanding the president respect “half the country”
NEW: In a stunning admission, the Trump administration admitted in court documents that it canceled billions in energy grants to states "based solely" on politics -- and whether that state was represented by Democrats and backed Harris in 2024.
