Time to donate (more!) to SPLC!!!
💓SPLC!

I've been meaning to increase my monthly gift. Thanks for the reminder, dear Dept of "Justice"

The Southern Poverty Law Center is epic!

SPLC has been fighting the Klan and hate groups for decades. They won’t stop. This is harassment by racists for racists who want to legalize racism.

Women’s culture goes dark: why aren’t there more ‘femcel’ movies? Male incels have been plentifully depicted on screen, while few film-makers have explored the varied controversies of toxic female radicalisation and the ‘womanosphere’. But a handful of movies have b...

Uff.
On #Femcels not getting enough, and not good enough, attention in film:

Well that was fast.

Follow-up, or probably just more thorough reporting from @theguardian.com

And @markjacob.bsky.social is spot on when he notes:

Look!

My mother was the breadwinner in the family, first to get a college degree in the family, and when she was pregnant with me her boss came into her office, told her that she'd never be the same accountant again, and fired her on the spot. That was in nineteen eighty two

What @lordbusinessman.bsky.social says here, I couldn’t have put it more succinctly: ✍️🙏👇👇👇👇👇

Josh Rogin: “Somebody shorted the oil market today by hundreds of millions of dollars exactly 20 minutes before Trump made his announcement—

If you see that once, it could be a coincidence. But that's happened at least three times, if not more, since the war began — that's a pattern”

My ancestors have fought in every American war since the War of Independence. The only one to die during one of those wars (Civil War, Union) died of disease.

this is wild.
I feel detached, I'm just all out of anger. I just view it with genuine curiosity: Why would he say this? I'm sure no serious officer or other leader in the military supports this idea.
Is it a distraction device? Did Clown-In-Chief request this after Jr's faceplant hearing?

Russia and North Korea have connected a new road bridge across the Tumen River, linking the two countries by land for vehicles for the first time.

Wild west water news.

Well done, EU funding explained bilingually & cogently.

Gotcha. I was trying to amplify your point.
