This is too good not to share.
After ten years of silence on YouTube, Bette Midler has released an absolute banger of a protest song, just in time for #NoKingsDay.
A rewrite of a Woody Guthrie song, and it hops!

❝ The closest historical parallel to what is happening to transgender people in the military is, surprise surprise, Adolf Hitler’s removal of Jewish troops from the Reichswehr and the Wehrmacht. The difference is that Hegseth’s policies on transgender people are even more draconian… the only time a country excludes a group of people from the military… is when they do not even see those people as being valuable as slaves, cannon fodder, or bullet sponges… ❞

So, when I got married I changed my last name mostly because Mr. Nay's surname is super simple and my maiden name is a pain in the ass I had to always spell and nobody could pronounce, etc. At first I moved my maiden name to be my middle name, mostly because I was graduating from grad school, working on getting licensed, etc. and was advised this would make things smoother. I eventually dropped my maiden name and went back to my original middle name. This is what's on my US Passport.
When I voted in the primaries earlier this month, I noticed my registered name was the First Maiden Married, which does not match my passport. You know, the ID I'll need to present if the SAVE act is passed. So I went online and requested a change to my name on the voter rolls. This is the subtle shit a lot of people may miss should that stupid legislation be passed. If I didn't catch it, I would have rolled up in November and been turned away.
CPAC cheers at the thought of Trump getting impeached... Bannon gets rejected by the crowd when he cheers for high gas prices.
The chairman of the Conservative Political Action Conference was stunned on Friday when his audience delivered an unexpectedly awkward response.
“How many of you would like to see impeachment hearings?” Matt Schlapp asked.
The audience cheered, applauded, and cried, “yeah!”
Schlapp quickly cut them off.
“No. That was the wrong answer,” he retorted #USPol
He then jokinly asks for coffee to be brought out for the audience.
I wouldn't drink the "coffee" they bring out. lol Jim Jones Jonestown vibes

How are we in a world where these two statements are widely seen as simultaneously true: (1) You always know when you see a trans woman so Sex Matters toilet terrorists are just fine, and (2) trans women are so sneaky the IOC has to catch them out with genetic testing?
There has only ever been one trans woman athlete at the Olympics, and she finished last. It wasn't a trans sneak attack, the athlete made no secret of her history. There is no evidence at all of trans women "stealing" sport from cis women. In fact, trans women are underrepresented on the winner's podium.
This ban is transphobic but the direct victims of the ruling are intersex and cis women who are now required to "prove" they are women. The violence is that people who have lived their whole lives as women will be told they aren't really valid. That they are a threat to their sisters.
Fuck the IOC.

The wonderful Jeffrey Sachs leaves nobody in doubt about the absolute hypocrisy and complicity of western governments who condemned #Iran for defending its country against the illegal attack by #USA and #Israel.

Paul Krugman:
"When officers of a company or people close to them exploit confidential information for personal financial gain, that’s (illegal) insider trading. But we have another word for situations in which people with access to confidential info regarding national security exploit that info for profit. That word is “treason.”
There’s a broader lesson here: You can’t trust a corrupt govt to protect national security. And our govt is now utterly corrupt."

Duffy and potus really like getting people killed.
"Great news!⚡Here's the full order. It blocks #DHS from arresting & interrogating lawfully present #refugees on the basis of a crazy ARG that in 1980, w/o anyone noticing, Congress mandated that all refugees be detained on their 1-yr anniversary in the US.

The International Congress of Mathematicians (#ICM) decided not to meet in #Russia in 2022, for a list of reasons including Russa's "war of aggression in #Ukraine and the potential dangers…in regards to freedom of political expression and the safety of #LGBTQ participants." Now some ICM members have launched a petition asking it not to meet in the US in 2026, for a list of reasons including US aggression in #Gaza, #Greenland, #Iran, and #Venezuela, and "serious concern that academics (or anyone) traveling to the US may be denied entry."

CALLING TRUMP'S BLUFF!
Trump says he'll likely hold phone talks with Iran today and claims they both want to make a deal.
HOWEVER......
Iranian Foreign Minister says there are no talks with the United States, claims President Trump's statements are an attempt to lower energy prices and buy time for military plans.

On the positive side, if you want to abolish ICE, I can’t think of a more efficient way to make that happen than forcing the business travel class to interact with ICE agents on a regular basis
