Tweet by Martina Navratilova. "Predator. That is how he should register. A sexual predator…" quote-tweeting a tweet by "Biology Rules OK" about Dr. Beth Upton, a trans woman

This tweet is highly defamatory and Martina Navratilova should be fired from BBC Sport for it.

It demonstrates an horrendous level of hatred for a trans woman (who was cleared of all wrongdoing in a recent tribunal) because she is a trans woman.

World leaders ‘too submissive’ over attacks on international law, says Amnesty International Report by human rights group highlights Ireland’s failure to enact law banning trade with illegal Israeli settlements

Amnesty International: “To appease aggressors is to pour fuel on a fire that will burn us all and scorch the future for generations to come.”

I don't want civil incredulity from the opposition on this. I want fire and brimstone rage. I want to hear unparliamentary language hurled at the scumbags enabling it.
We're well past the line in the sand where we should have said no more. This is madness #spéirgorm

Girl, I think we are in rats’ alley
Where the dead men lost their bones.
We ain't never gonna get laid round here.

Trump’s met his match in Iran, they know it, he knows it. Stable genius has backed himself into a corner. He has few cards, he can’t bomb them further & send oil to $200 bucks a barrel any easier than he can force them to open Strait. He’s f*cked & the whole world see’s his hand.

omg what monstrous sick people they are

Trump Is Said to Be in Talks to Send Afghans Who Aided U.S. Forces to Congo

This is monstrous. Just profoundly shameful behavior by our government.

In that case it's more like 200 million. And the dislike is mutual.

Holy shit that's weird!

The status quo part reminds me of a national party I once knew. Maybe these centrists will wake up after Frey loses, tries a coup, wins again and invades St. Paul.

Centrists on the Minneapolis city council are not writing legislation, not leading with bright ideas on any of the issues in the city, not calling any experts to the table, not studious or showing any depth of intellectual curiosity, they don't excel at anything but the status quo

No one paying attention is surprised Bernard /his group endorsed a billionaire for California governor..

Vote for Xavier Becerra for governor.

I will always find it confusing that some people think a person riding a $2000 bike to commute is a privileged elitist but the guy in the $80k truck that costs $150 to fill is the working class average joe.

My man’s culturally Muslim but fairly lapsed, I’m culturally Christian & fairly lapsed, we share a spirituality from our Abrahamic commonalities, but also things like how we both receive messages in dreams & through divination from our cultures in the African Diaspora.

And then I get angry with myself for letting that bastard defeat me.

After three days I can't stop hearing the absolute contempt in his voice. I don't think I've ever felt so degraded. Sunday the stress brought on an attack of afib. That's over but now I've got intestinal issues.

Wow, this is fascinating. Thanks for sharing, I never heard any of this before.

The judge who heard James Earl Ray’s appeal conclusively demonstrated that his rifle was not the weapon that killed MLK, and successfully identified the likely murder weapon as one of five XM21 rifles on loan to the FBI in 1968, later returned to the Army with one missing.

one thing i'm seeing is that american liberals pretty easily grasp that the logic of 'vote blue no matter who' just doesn't apply to uk labour

but uk progressives *really* struggle to get that the reasons they've turned on labour don't apply to the us dems

The good old days.

This is a war based on lies

I'm so glad you're bringing a story like this to light. Cops kill so many people in mental crisis. It's why they are so dangerous as first responders for it & shouldn't be. I & other mad Black folks I know have had to be traumatized them in mental crisis. A lot of us become hashtags.

How much "loss" do fire departments report annually? Police? The armed forces? Roads? Schools? Solid waste collection? Wastewater treatment? Public health agencies?

it’s a great day for transphobes to eat shit

For me it was my best friend, a woman quite a bit older than me, though not old enough to depart. Died suddenly in July, 2020. We had a memorial service for her the next year on her birthday.

my angry post about this case this morning is now an angry article

Roy Anthony Scott was in a mental health crisis and called 911 asking for help

Cops came and killed him, & now the Court is casting doubt on whether the cops can be held accountable for his death

Cool, I will check it out!

They're humvee birds now.

I think if you asked the median person even on Bluesky to estimate exactly how many Jewish settlers live in occupied Palestinian territory most would be off by at least 300,000.
