How is Trump Fucking Us Today
• So Donny shitsburger's poll numbers are TANKING with a damn anvil tied to them — only 44% approval while a whopping 56% disapprove according to the latest decision desk hq poll. his performance is so pathetic that his presidency is described as "in decline" with poll numbers falling across all metrics. [TheHill]
• And independent voters jumping ship like rats from a burning dumpster! independent voters are REVOLTED by the donald of dumpster's performance — disapproving by an overwhelming 68% to 32% margin. that's a goddamn bloodbath!
• We are in economic nosedive from hell! trump is registering "the worst economic approval numbers of his presidential career" with the economy rating at an abysmal 43% approval and 55% disapproval. his tariff clusterfuck has wall street shitting bricks!
• And cabinet clowns attack media instead of fixing actual problems, rather than addressing the economic shitstorm, vance and the cabinet goons spent wednesday circle-jerking with praise for trumpy mcbuttface while whining about media coverage. classic deflection bullshit!
• We have pathological lying reaches new heights, as turdbucket trump tried blaming the stock market's nosedive on biden through a truth social rant, absurdly claiming it "has NOTHING TO DO WITH TARIFFS" despite the immediate market crash after his "liberation day" tariff announcement. what a delusional fuckwit!
• Our economy officially in the toilet, as a staggering 76% of americans believe trump's recent tariffs will increase prices on goods they buy, with 44% expecting prices will increase "a lot." first quarter showed the economy CONTRACTED by 0.3% — we're officially fucked!
• There’s a cabinet of rabid propagandists, attorney general pam bondi made the batshit claim that their fentanyl seizures "saved 258 million lives" — approximately three-quarters of the entire us population! what drugs is SHE on?!
• Petey hegseth's tenure has devolved into multiple security scandals, including sharing highly sensitive information on the unclassified signal app. meanwhile, tulsi gabbard obsesses over media leaks while the ship sinks.
• His base is starting to implode, and support among his own 2024 voters has eroded, with his favorability falling from 91% to 85% while unfavorability has risen from 9% to 14%. the cult is showing the first signs of questioning their orange messiah.
The Furry Phantom Menace
Texas Rep. Stan Gerdes invented a crisis to spark outrage. His "F.U.R.R.I.E.S Act" claims students dress as animals and use litterboxes—a complete fabrication he now admits. Confronted by Democrats, Gerdes confessed he never witnessed these "incidents" despite claiming they happened in Smithville schools, whose superintendent explicitly denied such occurrences.
This manufactured hysteria serves a calculated purpose: Governor Abbott weaponizes these falsehoods to demonize public education, painting schools as havens for bizarre behavior while pushing his voucher agenda to funnel taxpayer money to private institutions.
The bill would impose crushing fines on schools for vaguely defined "non-human behaviors"—including licking oneself or wearing accessories—enforced by Texas's notoriously transphobic attorney general.
This isn't about protecting children. It's about manufacturing disgust toward public education to advance a privatization agenda, using imaginary furries as the perfect conservative boogeyman. [LGBTQNation]
Digital Lifelines in Dangerous Times
In a world increasingly hostile to transgender existence, trans technologies have become vital survival tools, pulsing with urgency against the skin. Oliver Haimson's research captures this tension—the bittersweet necessity of apps that shouldn't need to exist.
These digital sanctuaries—hormone trackers, bathroom finders, legislation monitors—are born from creators' raw needs, fingers coding through tears and rage, screens glowing in darkened bedrooms. You can almost hear the desperate keystrokes, feel the weight of responsibility as creators build digital shelters with minimal resources.
"Bedroom creators" work unprotected, their databases potentially vulnerable to those who would weaponize such information. The scent of danger permeates these spaces where medical information flows between trusted hands.
The cruel paradox: while these tools represent remarkable resistance, they reveal a community forced to channel creativity into mere survival. Imagine tasting the bitterness of this reality—talents diverted from joy to self-preservation, the metallic tang of necessity overwhelming possibility.
Between venture capitalism's suffocating embrace and the isolating burn of solo creation lies the community-funded middle path—imperfect but breathing with collective purpose. Here, trans technologies resist not just oppression but capitalism itself, their very existence a defiant heartbeat against systems that never intended them to thrive. [LGBTQNation]
The Shadow Trans Report
What a fucking joke. The Trump administration just dropped a 400-page "review" on transgender healthcare that conveniently supports their anti-trans agenda while hiding every goddamn person who wrote it. Not a single author named. Not one goddamn reviewer identified.
They claim their secret authors represent "a wide range of political viewpoints" and were chosen for "commitment to scientific principles" – bullshit. If this was legitimate science, they'd proudly put their names on it. Instead, they're hiding like cowards behind anonymity "to maintain integrity." What integrity?
This shadowy document, targeting vulnerable children while ignoring adult care, follows Trump's systematic dismantling of transgender research and healthcare. HHS claims the science doesn't support "drastic medical interventions" – the same tired rhetoric used to deny care to trans youth.
The bastards promise "additional review" with "different perspectives" – a transparent attempt to fake legitimacy for what is clearly a politically-motivated hit job disguised as science. Real science signs its fucking name. [CNN]
The Resistance Rises
Holy shit, the people are fighting back! "50501" protesters—named for their goal of 50 protests across 50 states in one unified movement—are storming streets nationwide today for May Day, a day already steeped in the blood and sweat of labor struggles throughout history.
Born in the digital trenches of Reddit, these pissed-off citizens have already mobilized multiple national actions, including 80+ demonstrations on April 19 targeting Trump's executive overreach. They're fucking fed up with the administration's first 100 days of chaos.
And damn, what a destructive 100 days it's been: brutal immigration crackdowns tearing families apart; tariffs threatening to tank the global economy; the Department of Government Efficiency's hatchet job on federal agencies; transgender protections obliterated; and Trump's middle finger to constitutional checks and balances.
This isn't just another protest—it's the beginning of a coordinated nationwide resistance against an administration determined to burn down democratic norms while Americans watch their rights go up in flames. [CNN]
Economic Disaster Clusterfuck: Republicans Are Crying in Their Cheerios
The economy is bleeding out while Republican lawmakers squirm in their sweat-soaked suits. First-quarter contraction of 0.3% has GOP senators shitting themselves over Donaldo Shitsburger's chaotic tariff tirades. Only 38% of Americans approve of this economic nightmare—a putrid stench Republicans can't wash off before 2026 elections.
Senator Ron Johnson admits investment is "drying up" while Senator Tillis warns of political "headwinds" that will batter Republicans if this continues. The sour taste of economic failure lingers on voters' tongues as they watch their financial futures wither.
Some Republicans are desperately trying to contain the damage, with Collins voting against Trump's "reciprocal tariffs" and Cruz warning against advisors who view tariffs as "an end in themselves." But the bleeding continues as uncertainty festers in America's economic wounds. [TheHill]
