Green Party MP, Hannah Spencer, holding a sign which says: I signed the letter... Not In Our Name: Women in support of the trans+ community NION logo NotInOurName.org.uk

A big thank you to Hannah Spencer MP for signing our letter and standing in clear support of the trans+ community.

Like Hannah, many women from across the political spectrum have joined the 101,000+ UK women who have already signed our letter - Women in support of the trans+ community.

20. The pervasive intolerance of religious belief in certain circles must be resisted. The elite’s intolerance of religious belief is perhaps one of the most telling signs that its political project constitutes a less open intellectual movement than many within it would claim. 21. Some cultures have produced vital advances; others remain dysfunctional and regressive. All cultures are now equal. Criticism and value judgments are forbidden. Yet this new dogma glosses over the fact that certain cultures and indeed subcultures . . . have produced wonders. Others have proven middling, and worse, regressive and harmful. 22. We must resist the shallow temptation of a vacant and hollow pluralism. We, in America and more broadly the West, have for the past half century resisted defining national cultures in the name of inclusivity. But inclusion into what

These last three points in the Palantir manifesto are just christian nationalist white supremacy 😕

_"The Government’s consistent cheerleading for data centre expansion has reached a point of reckless disconnect from the economic reality of Irish citizens... Irish families are paying nearly double the electricity rates of these industrial facilities, effectively subsidizing the massive energy consumption of global tech giants while struggling with a punishing cost-of-living crisis." https://greenparty.ie/news/uncritical-expansion-data-centres-will-fuel-social-inequality-and-energy-crisis-cllr-hazel-chu

Data centres uses 32% of Ireland's total electricity supply but pay almost less than half of the residential rate. So we're effectively subsidizing tech giants during a cost of living & energy crisis. Meanwhile this Govt continues to cheerlead their expansion & continue to fail in their obligations.

Highly relatable 😁

Nondiscrimination Laws - Movement Advancement Project These maps show state housing, public accommodations, and credit and lending nondiscrimination laws that explicitly enumerate sexual orientation and/or gender identity as protected classes, as well as...

One thing I see feminists mention as some kind of gotcha: Before 1974, they needed their husband's permission to get credit cards or bank accounts. Therefore, I shouldn't criticize the open transphobia of feminists.

However, it is still legal to deny bank accounts to trans women in 31 states.

"men need more positive male role models" actually they already have them and they're gay and they're trans

Once you realize how much of American (and Canadian) history has been curated so as not to offend racist whites that hate Black and Indigenous people, it's impossible to unsee.

Our stories weren't told because racist historians didn't *want* them told. So they were erased, omitted, and covered up.

"The enemy of your enemy is NOT your friend" is, it seems, a lesson that needs to be learnt over and over again 😥

Immigrants are dying in ICE custody every week.

Just because mass deportation agents stopped executing Americans in the streets doesn’t mean the brutality is over.

An NYT headline reading: Homeland Security Expands Deportation Fleet With High-End Jets

My headline from April 15 reading: Water is wet, and DHS's 'deportation fleet' boondoggle expands under Markwayne

The hed and dek of my story from February reading: ICE FLIGHTS Noem's luxury 'deportation' jet is the tip of the ICE-berg Kristi Noem's DHS has acquired at least nine new aircraft in recent weeks, with another one on the way. Half are luxury jets. Gillian Brockell 26 Feb 2026 - 9 min read

Hey @nytimes.com, I already reported this earlier this week.

And the G650s you mention? I reported on those in FEBRUARY.

You credit NBC News and WSJ for first reporting parts of your story. Please credit me, too.

it's so cool how comfortably employed legacy journalists can just follow a bunch of independent journalists, rip off their stories, and still pretend they are better than the rest of us.

"The enemy of your enemy is NOT your friend" is, it seems, a lesson that needs to be learnt over and over again 😥

The ultra rich, massive corporations, and billionaires control our politics because John Roberts freed them to pour unlimited money into campaigns via Citizens United.

Take all their money away and you take away their power.

Look at this detailed analysis of Anthropic's leaked "100% generated by Claude" code, just pigshit awful absolutely unmaintainable garbage

My personal take on it is that CNN took INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT investigative journalism, and by seeding it with sensationalism, removed much of the power from the article.

It undermined them. It undermined the work of the investigative journalists. And most importantly, it undermined the victims.

What's happening with Imagination Library across the country is reflective of what's happening to libraries and other literacy goods nationwide.

Keep an eye on this because states cutting the IL budgets is happening in drips and drops, but it's adding up.

On the plus side, no worries that AI slop images snuck in 👀😕

Pre-2021 hardcopy is the new pre-WWII steel 😓

As a software engineer with 35+ years experience, I cannot stress enough how true and vitally important this is 👀😥

Late 90s tech was the best. Even aside from the nostalgic aesthetic, tech felt like positive potential back then. Tech was promising good things back then.

Now techbros push "updates" to things that aren't broken to dumb down people for fascism.

Tech isn't hopeful anymore.

For a Boise family of medical providers, Idaho criminal trans bathroom ban was the last straw This year, Idaho Legislature approved trans bathroom ban, forcing teachers to out trans kids to parents, and re-banning LGBTQ+ pride flag displays by government

The Devitts have seen the Idaho Legislature and the governor approve a wave of anti-LGBTQ+ bills in recent years. Michael and Dr. Angie Devitt, both medical professionals, watched their trans daughter, Eve, testify against a bill years ago that outlawed gender-affirming care for minors. But this year’s criminal transgender bathroom ban — described by advocates as the most extreme in the nation for extending to private businesses — was the couple’s last straw. So early this month, Michael Devitt notified patients that his practice, Focus Physical Therapy, would shut down at the end of August as his family prepared to move out of Idaho. “Obviously, this law is a disaster for families like ours,” he wrote in a letter. “We can no longer take a road trip across our beloved state, or even enjoy a family night out at a restaurant, or a movie, without running the risk of Eve being charged and sent to a prison merely for using the facilities.”

A family of doctors in Idaho with a teenage trans daughter describes their decision to close their practice and leave the state after the governor signed a law last month threatening her with a felony charge and five years in prison if she uses any women's restroom

People may be mad, idk

but I have to say this about the ##RapeAcademy thing-

It wasn't 60 million men, it was 60 million times people accessed that website

And, imo, this matters more than we think.

I am worried that these incorrect numbers will have long lasting influence.

Not everything that breaks is technically the fault of vibe coding but the kind of culture that would foster vibe coding is the kind that produces a lot of shit that breaks.

The government: “People should seek asylum using regular legal routes and stop getting on boats to come here.”

Also the government: “We are cancelling more visa routes to stop people coming here.”

The political gaslighting when it comes to people who seek asylum is as racist as it is destructive.

Me reading The Art of War: this was considered revolutionary? Surely armies knew to have enough supplies and food before going to war!

Me today: oh.

The Art of War is very funny once you understand it for what it actually is, which is Warfare 101 For Dipshit Nobles

the intended audience is exactly people like Pete Hegseth

With a final tally of 213-214, the war powers resolution to disengage US forces from the war on Iran failed by a single vote.

Representative Jared Golden of Maine was the sole Democratic lawmaker to vote against the measure. Had he voted for it, it would have passed, handing Trump an historic loss.

ICE is not about immigration.

ICE is about normalizing a paramilitary force on peaceful streets.

Abolish ICE.
