Its worth noting that in Britain, Mamdani would have thrown out of the Labour Party by a small room full LinkIn weirdos and then replaced by a former private healthcare lobbyist who would go on to lose by 5,000 votes to a Reform candidate who was a convinced sex offender.

Al Green's impeachment resolution that 128 Dems voted against was a very straightforward, brief one about the unconstitutionality of bombing Iran without congressional authorization. Not all the umpteen dozen other things or debatable policy issues. Just that. That's what they sided with Trump on.

Seems like a good time to remind everyone that there’s an ACLU petition specifically targeting payment processors that discriminate against sex workers. Sign n’ share! action.aclu.org/petition/mas...

I guarantee you, there is a non-sexually assaulting progressive Millennial or Gen Z person with a smattering of charisma in every district where there is an inert, fat cat establishment mayor or representative. Take every seat.

The thing about the Khalil case is that it's very very good that he's free now but you can't have it take three months between "the government kidnaps you off the street for no basis reason whatsoever" and "a judge makes them let you go." You just can't.

So Starship Ship 36 just detonated before the static fire test - fueled and waiting for the test. Looks like the top tank lets go and sets off the whole stack. It would be bad enough if it let go during the static fire test, but it just blew up. And it's cooking off the fuel tanks on the pad.

Hey @cnn.com, ‘we will kill you’ is not a “stern warning”. It’s a death threat. A sheriff is threatening the lives of the community he swore an oath to protect. For exercising their rights to peacefully assemble. Stop being stenographers for fascists.

I have a surgery coming up… that I cannot afford now. I’m heartbroken and trying to find out exactly how much it’s going to cost me. Please consider donating and sharing me and my partners gofundme as we need more help and now that we have lost these benefits www.gofundme.com/f/support-be...

Y'all. And by y'all I mean allies especially. Forget buying rainbow crap from corporations. Forget donating to politicians who will turn on us the second it's convenient. Queer people are in need because of how we've been targeted, and giving directly is how you help our community the most.

Absolutely wild. The EHRC appear to have cancelled their board meeting in Glasgow because of the protest outside their offices on Friday 2nd May. You can see the "serious risk of violence" play out for yourself in this video.

They just love 'big government' as long as they control it.

Perhaps Newsom should have spent less time chumming around with authoritarian buffoons on his podcast and more time preparing and strategizing for the entirely predicable thing that is happening in his state right now.

there is no one who thinks trans women should be banned from sports and supports all other trans rights. it’s just a foot in the door for them to get at the wholesale banning of trans people from public life. it’s been ten years of this. no one is buying your shit anymore.

Being snooty about protestors when the major topics being protested in the uk are the core topics you could score voters on this is not just mean spirited but also terrible tactics innit

Someone should create a search index of all the web pages on the world wide web... that you can search for something like: "aluminum chemical reactions" "chemistry" acid" "base" &c. & actually find a web page with some fucking information about aluminum chemistry & not shit like: "Pros & Cons of Al"

From what I can tell, Dr Stephenson donated to Allison Bailey's legal case. She has also met with FiLiA, and signed letters in defence of 'gender critical' organisations.

Unbelievable! Today, San Diego witnessed a government-sanctioned kidnapping. ICE stormed Buona Forchetta in military gear ripping workers away, then unleashing tear gas and smoke on the terrified community. Full on police state, fascism now used on American citizens. Stay aware. #OnYourSide

Watching The Expanse with @daira.bsky.social and really enjoying it. Last time I watched it was 2020 and the OPA definitely vibe a lot differently with the current sh*tshow that we're all in.

The worst possible way of dealing with your trauma as a trans person is taking it out on other trans people. And yet remains one of the most popular.

This is very thorough reporting on a very painful reality in journalism. My endless love and support to the women who detailed their experiences for this piece. The sexual abuse in our field must be stopped. www.cjr.org/feature-2/we...

Qn about #Apple #iCloud. At support.apple.com/en-us/108922 it says: "When you confirm that you want to Turn Off, it turns off iCloud Backup for that app and removes all of its information from iCloud." With the caveat you're obvs trusting Apple, how reliable, thorough, and timely is this deletion?

Dizaaam! An important reminder that in the age of big data, companies might go down but data is still a hefty sellable asset. Also see Pokémon Go and their sale of their data set to Ninantic. www.cnbc.com/2025/05/19/r...
