hello this is an explicit endorsement of genocide

The right hates trigger warnings, except in the case of trans people, where they want to legislate it

Trump’s FCC Wants Input on Whether ‘Transgender and Gender Nonbinary’ TV Programming Is ‘Appropriate’ for Children The FCC, led by Trump-appointed chairman Brendan Carr, wants feedback about whether the TV industry's voluntary ratings need to be tweaked -- specifically with regard to how shows with child-friendly ...

Seems bad that the Trump administration is trying to use the FCC to scare media companies into actively avoiding stories related to trans people, tbh.

This is your periodic reminder that Democrats introduced legislation in 2021 to ban gerrymandering nationwide and every republican voted against it except two who were absent.

Fun fact: Women's sports are segregated not to protect women, but to protect *men* from losing *to* a woman.

Don't believe me? Look up Jackie Mitchell. Struck out Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig. Then suddenly women were unfit to play baseball.

Pentagon details record $1.5 trillion budget request

“But how are we gonna pay for it?” should never be taken seriously ever again when we want to pay for universal healthcare or universal basic income or any governmental service that helps millions of people.

the foundational concept of Bluesky was to create a space for tech bros by using invite only for a span

the foundational reality of Bluesky is that invites became life rafts for queers fleeing Twitter by way of furries

nobody working for Bluesky has ever forgiven this

Ahahahahaha what do you mean the TECHNICAL ADVISOR to Bluesky just blocked over 300k users by following an ANTI-AI, AI HATERS blocklist.

Embarassing.

Texas can require public schools to display Ten Commandments in classrooms, court rules A U.S. appeals court says Texas can require the Ten Commandments to be displayed in public school classrooms.

How one knows this is bullshit is that they're not okay with displaying rule sets from anything but the bible. 🤪

So in a couple of years when he changes his mind, what he'll have to do is ...

nothing. go to Confession, that's about it.

The Catholic Church considers you a member forever unless you're Excommunicated and ...he won't be.

claude, openai, grok, etc, are ways to automate the entrenchment of a broken stair into group projects & firms of any scale

Now they want to ARREST us if they don’t approve of what we are WEARING, the misogyny does not stop

‘We were terrified they were going to kill us’: fishers who survived US boat strike speak out An Ecuadorian fishing crew describe their ordeal as victims of Trump’s purported war on ‘narcoterrorists’

A group of Ecuadorian fishermen survived a US drone strike, were detained at gunpoint, phones wiped, ship blown up, disappeared to El Salvador, then released without charge. “They knew we were fishermen. Even the Salvadorian authorities said things had been handled very badly.”

This is proof of three things

They are wrong about some of them, possibly all of them
They aren't sure who they are killing
They don't fucking care

The entire chain of command is drenched in blood, and every attack going forward is done with this knowledge

A reminder that the number one domestic terror threat in America remains white supremacist and right-wing terrorism.

How many times has the Trump Administration talked about this threat? What have they done to stop it?

Oh yeah, they're part of MAGA. Nevermind.

Let's go after SPLC instead!

I Know the SPLC’s Flaws Better Than Most. This Investigation Still Looks Like a Witch Hunt. MAGA has wanted to take down the SPLC for years. Now it has the DOJ to try.

"...it was almost inevitable that a weaponized DOJ would try something like this. Discrediting the SPLC is a way of retroactively rehabilitating everyone the SPLC ever exposed."

"American combat deaths in World War I totaled 53,402. But about 45,000 American Soldiers died of influenza and related pneumonia by the end of 1918."

Last year, the flu vaccine saved 12,000 lives and prevented over 100,000 hospitalizations according to the CDC.

The Justice Dept’s theory of the case— that the group that single-handedly disassembled the Ku Klux Klan defrauded its donors by concealing that it was using paid informant to do that work and more— has about as much merit as the now-dismissed charges against Jim Comey.

Beth worked as a doctor for years until a transphobe turned up. Now, she's had to leave her job, leave her home, move to the other side of the world and is still being hounded and harassed by the media and cult.

She did nothing but exist as trans in the orbit of Sandie Peggie.

I was raised in a family of big tech employees and have been analyzing, working in, and reporting on tech since I was a teenager - and yes I do think the gleeful “we’re gonna take all your jobs, worms” rhetoric really did accelerate after 2019

The currently escalating tech backlash must be put in the context of:

“people have been listening to the most insufferable techbros in the world gleefully threaten everyone else with mass unemployment for over 6 years, and they’re sick of their shit”

Conservatives and right-wingers have never and I mean NEVER given a God damn for our veterans and our troops. Fuck every single, God damn one of them. It is not nor will ever be possible to adequately punish them for their crimes. That doesn't mean we shouldn't try though.

We’ve proven that a catch-all called “police” doesn’t work. They think anyone not them is a criminal. They protect property over people. They turn into extortion groups.

I want crisis managers dealing with domestic disputes. Addiction specialists dealing with addicts.
Police are skilled in none.

Trump says ‘violent day’ of policing will end crime The remarks at a campaign rally Sunday did not amount to a policy proposal allowing police retaliation, the former president’s campaign said.

And just to be clear this is what Trump was saying when he was racking up police endorsements www.politico.com/news/2024/09...

The fact that every major police union endorsed Donald Trump is under appreciated in our political discourse.

Federal Judge Vacates Kennedy Declaration, Permanently Blocks Trump's Trans Youth Care Hospital Threats The judgment overturns the Kennedy Declaration which has been used to force 40 hospitals to drop trans youth care.

1. This weekend, a federal judge permanently blocked funding threats to providers and hospitals that provide trans youth care.

The judge also blocked "any similar policy."

Hospitals have NO excuse and must return to providing care under many blue state laws.

A graphic that reads: “In the first episode of Star Trek Deep Space Nine, we saw a black man gain a powerful command position, respect the hell out of a religion he didn’t understand, respect three different races he didn’t understand, accept his friend’s gender change, and tell his son he loves him.”

Star Trek; it be like that. #LLAP

Trump still has no plan to reimburse the American people for his illegal tariff taxes.

American families paid $1,700 more because of these taxes.

When will they get the relief they're owed?

Her office said the Office for Students (OfS), which regulates universities, had received reports of speakers and lecturers being harassed and blocked for holding gender-critical or religious views, of foreign interference suppressing academic freedoms, and of ideological belief requirements featuring in job advertisements.

The OfS will be able to use the new complaints scheme from September. From April, it will be able to fine universities the greater of £500,000 or 2 per cent of their income, which would amount to millions of pounds for large institutions, for breaches under the Freedom of Speech Act. Ultimately, universities could be deregistered for egregious cases.

Bridget Phillipson will introduce new laws to make it possible for Universities to be fined millions of pounds if they don't silence students who protest bigots invited onto their campuses. It's like the Tories never left office.
