I’m told this can’t win because it’s unpopular so the smart play is for Democrats to suck up to conservatives in order to win the votes of 9 bigots who don’t like spray tan.

For the millionth fucking time, Libs Harris was Biden. Biden literally orchestrated the ceasefire in Lebanon after he allowed the incursion SPECIFICALLY to deplete Hezbollah and take Syria. Israel was then allowed to steal Syrian land & conduct Gaza all over again to this day for "Greater Israel"

"Even worse, when you Google one of these slop-squatted package names, you’ll often get an AI-generated summary from Google itself confidently praising the package, saying it’s useful, stable, well-maintained. But it’s just parroting the package’s own README, no skepticism, no context." Omfg

The massive destruction left by the occupation's bombing of the Baptist Hospital in central #Gaza City. What is the point of international humanitarian law when it doesn’t apply in Gaza?!! Bombing hospitals is a WAR CRIME. That is being orchestrated by an internationally wanted WAR CRIMINAL.

this is an unsurprisingly good piece because miles does reliably excellent work and a thing that does not escape my notice is that when @rollingstone.com has conversations about trans people & trans issues, they have them *with* trans people or have trans writers lead them.

it’s a lot harder to treat trans people like a thought experiment when you see “trans people” is a collective abstraction for many individual trans persons—women, enbies, men—each singular, with interiority & interests. one of us fences. one swims. one throws & fires beautiful clay pots.

RFK believes that he is one of the genetic elect and that it is a violation of the natural order to either impose on the genetic elect with public health OR prevent nature from taking its course with those who are predestined to biological damnation.

If you're still suggesting ways to FIX the current state of the USA rather than demanding that it be changed on a fundamental level; You're probably IMMENSELY privileged. On top of that unwilling to come to terms with the fact that you BENEFIT from the Status Quo that disenfranchises & kills many.

A powerful scene from Bangladesh: Thousands crowd onto a train, heading to a massive rally in support of Gaza and in protest against the US-sponsored genocide.

the trans women in sports bans have been such an effective wedge against ppl who are ostensibly trans allies bc combatting those bans requires an actual understanding of how trans women's bodies work and that has never been a high priority in cis allyship

I am begging my fellow librarians to just stop. Stop it. ChatGPT isn't our friend, it is making you worse at your job, and patrons are going to lose faith in us if this doesn't stop.

Don't stop calling your members of Congress. Make yourself a nuisance. If they are doing recess district meetings, show up and make your presence known. Indivisible's April recess toolkit. indivisible.org/muskorus

we need to keep a close eye on the legal battle between maine and the trump administration. the battle is purportedly about trans athletes, but is really about federal vs blue state power. if maine can beat trump on trans athletes, any blue state can beat him on any issue.
