As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

Whenever I see a poll like this I always like to remind people that approval for interracial marriage in the US did not cross the 50% mark until 1994, when I was already in my twenties.
Pew Research Center poll on “transgender athletes competing on sports teams that don’t match their birth sex”:
• 27% of American adults are somewhat/very/extremely comfortable with it
• 73% are not comfortable with it
Democrats are also NOT comfortable with it: 55-44% margin.

the infuriating thing about all of the crises going on right now is that they were completely predictable
the second they announced they were gutting food safety monitoring, everyone knew it would lead to a bunch of contamination and recalls! we could have just not done it! it's all so stupid

This summer's food recalls are broader in scope, longer-lasting, and more severe than past years as regulators are slow to respond.
The parasite surveillance staff at the CDC, which responds to outbreaks (such as cyclosporiasis), was downsized last year by DOGE from 11 people to three.

Birthdate and name matches are causing US Citizens to get arrested in error by ICE as they board airplanes.
This is the same level of rigor they're bringing to claims of fraudulent voting, and is obvious as an error-prone method to anyone who has taken an introductory stats class.

A ton of effort is going to go into pretending taxing rich people doesn’t work just like a lot of work went into immediately ignoring and getting rid of that expanded child tax credit once it was revealed it worked way better than expected
Massachusettes "Millionaires Tax", which was targeted to fund transportation and education, has been a resounding success. It has funded FREE school lunch for ALL students, FREE buses in lowest income communities (people can get to work, etc.), and FREE community college.
And "exodus" was minimal.
