this is such an important point. i do not think that the typical american understands that for most of their lives, someone like james madison or george washington or thomas jefferson was *surrounded* by black people.

Accusing people advocating for more public and active transport options of not considering disabled people while ignoring the way that the current paucity of public and active transport options limit disabled people's mobility isn't disability justice advocacy, it's enforced car dependency advocacy.

Unironically the thing I love about this point, is that it's a great basis to start talking to y'all about the fact that most of the people in jail in the US are just as innocent as Khalil. Many are Black folk that have been arrested with *absolutely no basis*, but wait *over a year* to see a judge.

turns out climate change will cost dramatically more than economists predicted, and the cost of addressing it is actually negative. oops! prospect.org/environment/...

Here’s that weird future tense again that media always uses when describing American fascism we’re always “moving toward … authoritarianism”, but the media will never actually say we’ve already been there for a while i need a catchy name for this, similar to the “exonerative case” but different

<whispers> dedicated bus lanes, but you have to have a city willing to take away space from private car owners

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

New in PN: Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism “'I’ve never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable,' Judge Young fumed. 'I’ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this.' *More of this, please*"

the argument that it's not life saving is literally that trans people, as an entire unit, cannot be trusted to report whether transitioning improved their quality of life

Per @levernews — Dem strategists messaged on Signal about backing Trump & @SenatorHagerty’s crypto bill despite admitting it supercharges Trump’s corruption. Why? Crypto campaign donors. (The list of 18 Dems who voted yes is below 👇🏽) www.levernews.com/dems-crypto-...

y'all know this is some Q-anon-style larp-ing-as-a-numbers-station bullshit, right?

I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles

In a 5-2 decision, PA Supreme Ct holds that cyclists have to make reasonable efforts to let car traffic pass them on roadways, which may require pulling off the road sometimes. Dissenters say it's not a clear test, and moving to the right side of the lane is enough. www.pacourts.us/assets/opini...

NYC Comptroller Brad Lander was just arrested by Trump’s ICE agents because he asked to see a judicial warrant. This is fascism and all New Yorkers must speak in one voice. Release him now.

All the Republican examples of "violent" rhetoric from Democrats is someone like Tim Walz saying "these people are assholes, you should be rude to them" and all the Republican equivalents are a guy with a top-secret security clearance tweeting "I will personally kill Ilhan Omar with a gun"

With a growing fascist movement, rising antisemitism, and possession of nuclear arms, does the USA not prove a potential threat to Israel? I think maybe Israel should do a preemptive self defense strike against them.

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered. Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again. Their inaction is deadly.

The Times saying last year they'd no longer endorse candidates in local elections, then immediately being like "oh but not THAT guy" 10 months later because the candidate wants free buses gives away the whole game. "Objectivity" means you break your own rules to punch left as much as you want.

The owner of Twitter sends out 100 right wing propaganda tweets every single day and the algorithm is set up so that every single person on Twitter has to see every single one of these tweets. Now here’s another piece about Blue Sky’s ideological diversity problem.

Underneath all of those articles is a deep fury that Bluesky punishes instead of rewarding lazy and/or hostile engagement farming. Try to build a following here with trolling and slurs and you'll find yourself in a ghost town. To them that is simply intolerable.
