I had 2 friends over Saturday night. Both of them are on Green Cards. One is Canadian and has been here 23 years. The other is German and has been here 8 years. Both married to Americans. By the end of the evening the Canadian had convinced the German to just keep the Green Card cause the US has nothing to offer right now.

I could find no argument against that advice.

It’s a good thing for Jim that the people in his gerrymandered district don’t require him to legislate.

A word of warning. I am not alone in observing that many of you branded journalists and pundits are falling right back into your old twitter habits of mostly connecting with the usual suspects. And no algorithm is causing that. You are. And that was a big reason Twitter became so stultifying for everyone after a while, and why many of you found the fediverse so refreshing. Can we please not go back there? Please mix it up with the little people a bit more. We all benefit.

The GOP think that 12 year old girls can consent to marriage, but a 26 year old can't know themselves well enough to know they're trans.

They actively enable christians fucking children, but have the gall to accuse trans people of being predators. The whole fucking party is sick.

NPR receives a small percentage of funding from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Musk’s spacex and tesla would not have survived without substantial government funding. His twitter actions demonstrate his deep hypocrisy.

Fox News is poison to our military.
It should be banned from all bases of every arm of our military.

Failure to disclose stuff they're *required* to disclose seems to be a theme among right-wing judges, doesn't it? First #ClarenceThomas, now #MatthewKacsmaryk commondreams.org/news/kacsmary

Ultra MAGA family values: While TX #GOP Rep. Bryan Slaton was whipping up hate against #drag shows, calling #LGBTQ+ people "perverted," and writing anti-#abortion laws, he was reportedly liquoring up his underage intern so he could cheat on his wife. #politics texastribune.org/2023/04/10/br

Meet Florida State Senator Lauren Book

Senator Book uses her power to keep girls and women safe as our rights are being taken

She read her phone number aloud on the Senate floor and joined multiple protests for reproductive rights

"Please don't take matters into your own hands. Do not put your safety at risk. No backalley abortions. There are people and funds that will help you…you are not alone. Call my office”

DeFascts’s response?

Senator Book is a Hero.

Trans Genocide 

Fact #1:
20 US States - nearly half of America - have passed some version of "existing as trans or in drag is defined as sex crimes against minors".

Fact #2:
Many of those states are now passing laws making "sexual crimes against minors" a crime punishable by death.

They're not being subtle about this. This is genocide.

Looks? It’s what’s inside that counts.

A fridge is a perfect example.

If you asked me how this current incarnation of the Republican Party is possibly going to stay together, I couldn’t give you a scenario. The doomsday Lindsey talked about is coming, this election cycle will see the beginning of the unraveling.

No. Tim Scott is not the answer to the Republican’s needs. He does not have an original thought in his head.

There were multiple-casualty shootings yesterday in Dadeville, Alabama, and Louisville, Kentucky.

In 2020, Alabama's homicide rate was 14.2 per 100,000. Kentucky's was 9.5. Yet House Republicans are having their violent crime hearing Monday in New York--where the rate was 4.7.
