“Sorry, but you need to suffer more before it matters ..” SCOTUS does not decide whether discrimination on the basis of transgender status is subject to heightened scrutiny, but Barrett, joined by Thomas, writes separately to say it is not, because trans people have not suffered enough legally imposed discrimination. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...— Mark Joseph Stern (@mjsdc.bsky.social) 2025-06-18T14:23:33.322Z
barrett's decision in skrmetti is not actually an ironic counterpoint to the new york times profile because it also appears to be the position of the new york times. it will run as an editorial next.— Sen. Lemon Gogurt (@ugarles.bsky.social) 2025-06-18T14:42:33.546Z
It’s also funny that someone who professes trickle down economics would claim that it is others who are being naive.
Roberts says that the Tennessee law is not a "pretext designed to effect invidious discrimination against transgender individuals." IF THIS ONE ISN'T THEN WHAT THE FUCK IS??— ElieNYC (@elienyc.bsky.social) 2025-06-18T14:27:21.197Z
Nothing sums up the state of affairs for transgender Americans quite like the US Supreme Court denying trans people life-saving healthcare at the same time that the Trump administration shuts down suicide prevention programs for LGBTQ people. These bastards want us all dead.— Rep. Zooey Zephyr (@zoandbehold.bsky.social) 2025-06-18T14:25:00.060Z
Hopefully this will finally convince the left to abandon gender politics since it isn’t a winning issue.
I can’t wait to be lectured for saying candidate X hasn’t earned my vote because they abandoned trans people.
Wow, really? Did you not read the letter Chuck sent to the administration with some very tough questions?
Tbh i hope we do invade Iran because it would be the single biggest act of political suicide in american history and might be the *only* thing that could break the boomer dems hold on power it really sucks that it's going to take yet another middle east quagmire to get any kind of change.
on top of being a horrendous day for our LGBT+ friends, and especially transgender people, it is also quite the day for (A) people who like to yell about RBG not retiring at the correct time; and (B) people who rolled their eyes in 2016 when told the SCOTUS was a reason to vote for Hillary.
Duckworth to Hegseth: "You are blowing through money like my fellow cadets and I did in our first liberty after basic camp. Luckily I didn't end up with a questionable tattoo ... you're just an unqualified yes man who can't tell the president how to keep Americans safe."— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-06-18T15:44:50.272Z "I'm not going to waste my time anymore. You're not worthy of my attention or my questions. You're an embarrassment to this country. You're unfit to lead...You should just get the hell out." Rep. Carbajal to Whiskeyleaks Hegseth— Rob Reiner Fan (@rob-reiner-fan.bsky.social) 2025-06-18T15:47:35.573Z "Your failures, Mr. Secretary, since you've taken office, have been staggering. You sent classified operational information over Signal to chest thump in front of your wife, who, by the way, has no security clearance, risking service member lives in the process." - @duckworth.senate.gov to Hegseth— donnayoungdc (@donnayoungdc.bsky.social) 2025-06-18T15:55:45.278Z "You've created such a hostile command environment that no one wants to serve as your chief of staff or work with you in other senior DOD leadership roles." - @duckworth.senate.gov to drunk/sexual predator Pete Hegseth 🔥🔥🔥— donnayoungdc (@donnayoungdc.bsky.social) 2025-06-18T15:58:01.609Z SLOTKIN: Have you given the order to be able to shoot at unarmed protesters in any way? HEGSETH: What is that based on? SLOTKIN: It is based on Trump giving that order to your predecessor, who I give a lot of credit to bc he didn't accept the order. He has more guts & balls than you— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-06-18T16:15:32.736Z ROSEN: Given the rise in antisemitic violence & to show that the Trump admin does have a 0 tolerance policy for antisemitism, will you dismiss Ms. Kingsley from her role as military spox? HEGSETH: She does a fantastic job... you're attempting to win political points R: You are not a serious person— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-06-18T16:00:00.841Z
this report from media matters is fucking wild. fox news has aired 424 segments about trans athletes since feb 5. the week democrats vetoed the GOP trans sports ban bill, they aired 59 segments. www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/fox...— Katelyn Burns (@katelynburns.com) 2025-06-17T22:57:04.540Z
Wish Tucker would ask Cruz about his thoughts on Trump calling his wife ugly. Especially since Cruz shows unwavering support of Trump now
I dunno guys, if this clips keep coming out like this it’s going to be hard to say Tucker isn’t in the lead for the Dem nomination.
this will be a huge surprise to most of the board but i am not a biblical scholar. does it really talk about israel in genesis? i thought that was when god created the universe in a week and then took a nap. something something adam & eve
Yes. When God promises Israel to abraham's descendants. I only know this because it was part of my torah portion for my bar mitzvah
“Christians” that use vague portions of scriptures from the Bible to justify their shitty behavior or actions are the fucking worst
Explain this to someone who barely knows what roblox is nvm. i read up on it https://www.teenvogue.com/story/kids-are-protesting-ice-in-roblox This is halfway between "The kids are alright" and some wild "dystopian removed from the real world" shit
What is the point of the Hegseth hearing other than theater? The admin has no shame, they don't give AF about their transgressions.
Google tells me 2M, so he could get that answer as easy as the population of Iran. Using Star Wars references shows the continued lack of awareness.
