Is anyone else disturbed that in the wake of #Saskatchewan's new rights-denying pronoun legislation, attendance at school GSA groups is already down? So instead of achieving its stated goal of bringing parents into their student's life, the new law has just created one more place where gay and gender-diverse kids can't be themselves.

OFFS.

I just read a headline in my LA Times about how anti-vaxxers also don’t want to immunize their pets against rabies.

The stupidity, cruelty, and recklessness of that mindset is beyond jaw dropping.

Both humans and animals need protection. #ProLifeMyAss, you total deluded idiots who believe otherwise.

@AlliFlowers I’m sorry. I will stand up for you.

House Republicans unveil plan to avoid government shutdown: a two-tiered stopgap spending bill. Some agencies & programs until Jan 19th, others until Feb 2nd.

“This two-step continuing resolution is a necessary bill to place House Republicans in the best position to fight for conservative victories,” said House Speaker Mike Johnson.

Please tell me House Democrats are going to call him on openly using the federal budget process for partisan campaign purposes, and then refuse to go along with it?

When people use the phrase "generational trauma" to describe Jewish people being concerned about a spike worldwide in incidents of antisemitism, this is flatly a dismissal of the violence we face.

It's victim-blaming couched in the language of psychology. It denigrates the only community structures that often exist to protect us from harm. It's designed to derail and distract the communities we rely on for safety.

“Boss, I need a new monitor.”

“Okay expense it, whatever you want.”
