Research from 2022 that every Democrat apologist should chew on: “We do not find any evidence that accommodative strategies reduce radical right support. If anything, our results suggest that they lead to more voters defecting to the radical right.“ www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

A panel of antivaxxers in charge of vaccine recommendations, approvals, and insurance coverage…to gatekeep vaccines from Americans. The goal has always been to take away all vaccines, and it is disgraceful that so many in the media and in power pretended it could ever be anything but that. For shame

People ran pieces about how the discipline of the movement was actually proof of a disturbing and dangerous groupthink. We got whole columns of people complaining about having to speak with official spokesmen.

Get ready for every right wing talking point to get its own series of articles, all filled with analysis from Chris Rufo and reaction quotes from “ordinary New Yorkers” who just coincidentally happen to be officials in the local Republican Party.

this is the intended use of gen-AI btw in case anyone didn't know. they want 10 years of unmitigated unregulated slopfeed programs in all your electronics and the states' electronics so they can cut loose a wave of propaganda that would have made edward bernays and marshall mcluhan blush

ICE has been circling around my partner's place of employment and they've (my partner) already made a plan with their circle for bail and support as well as knowing the rights of the immigrants working at their school. It's time to do the reading, folks. 🖤

"Sex Matters" twists the point of "assigned at birth" language. Sex is an assignment for everyone. For intersex people, it can be violent. But there is no "true sex" beyond a doctor looking at a baby's body and guessing. That guess may or may not align with other sex traits like chromosomes/gonads.

NEW — West coast Dept. of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) staff got an email this AM telling them how to deal with ICE protests, including working for home and wearing a disguise. "We will not retreat... this is the land of the free and home of the brave." Full text of email shared w/ me:

Re: the big No Kings protests this weekend, remember that the corporate media, politicians, etc are obviously champing at the bit to be able to force a “good protestors vs bad protestors” narrative to discredit the anti-ICE/anti-genocide movement. Do not let them. Embrace a diversity of tactics.

Israel is quickly trying to normalize a new and unimaginable form of depravity: mass-murdering aid-seekers. Al Jazeera reports at least 31 more people were killed and 200 injured by IDF drones and tanks this morning. Do not become numb to this atrocity. aje.io/535re2

The main takeaway here is that cops are murderous pigs. But to add a minor point, two years ago I was ready to spend thousands of dollars on a new bike. Videos like this are why I did not buy a Trek. Trek makes tactical bikes for pigs at a discount. (Luanne is a Scott Contessa Addict 15.)

Rest in peace, RuneScape. I’ve played this stupid Java game for 22 years. I’ve had countless accounts and even more memories. Never again. Jagex changed ownership and started considering stark monetization changes, which was my exit-ramp. This is just the epilogue to my disappointment. :( Ggez

Please look at this before echoing the ignorant take that Americans don't protest anything just because our news won't cover it.

If you’re feeling helpless, finding a protest near you and showing up is a good way to meet people who don’t have terrible politics. Show these Nazi pricks that we aren’t afraid to protest this evil
