The New York Times purposefully took the words of trans folks out of context to push a anti trans narrative. This isn't even the first time this week they've been shown to do that. This is a consistent issue with them.

I asked Grok if Musk's accusation of treason against Alexander Vindman was true. Grok said, "...these accusations appear to be based on personal animosity or political disagreement rather than factual evidence." https://x.com/i/grok/share/3geYdFwpqtGCM9dDQXXCo6N0J

Since no one at DoJ will hold Trump accountable when he breaks the law - and he will break the law - we are going to need to rely on lawsuits to block him and slow him down. That's why we should all support the good work of @marcelias.bsky.social and @democracydocket.com.

I’ve said it before, will doubtless say it again: These folks are going to be permanently resentful because they’re seeking political power as a substitute for cultural power, and it’s never going to give them what they actually want.

“a large group of funny, talented trans posters were the earliest adopters of Bluesky and were able to forge the platform into what it is today: funny, frequently horny, and with very strong moderation tools. If you like Bluesky’s vibe right now, thank a trans person,” journalist Katelyn Burns said

"Don't Engage, Just Block" absolutely IS the Bluesky motto. The notion of a "Bluesky Elder" is vaguely ridiculous but the ONE THING that we oldheads are good for is telling the new folks that blocking without engagement is praxis, and encouraging them to do it early and often.

He ran the most extreme campaign in American history, using language that no presidential candidate has ever used. Why would anyone be surprised that he wants to run an extreme presidency?

RFKs plan to eliminate pesticides and genetically modified foods without viable alternatives would precipitate massive crop failures and cause global food shortages. While it's preferable not to use gmos and pesticides, we would not be able to produce cheap grain at current scale without them.

Maga and the kremlin gremlins are coming over in droves. If you think they aren't peddling "MAGA blocklists" to new members you haven't been paying attention for the last several years. Those lists are renamed for each community they target and seeded with activists they want silenced.

So there's a lot of this this morning, the people who ruined Twitter attempting to do the same over here. Just block them. You'll never have to think of them again.

This is a reminder. Trump's MO is public chaos to hide something horrific. The appointments are the shiny object to distract. Trump is a con man first and foremost. When Trump collapses the economy the behind the scenes criming that is going on now will leak out.

Folks, I try to be fair. I call out my peoples for their mistakes and I begged them to choose Harris over Trump for the greater good. A majority of Muslims still went for Harris. White folks who complain about identity politics, any hard talks about your communities that went Trump 3 times?

Seems like it’s time for me to explain again, why Ukraine cannot simply freeze the war and call it peace. 🧵Thread: 1/ - Without a defense clause and troops on the ground from other countries, Ukraine will need a massive standing army to guard a frontline spanning over a thousand kilometers.

I don’t think most Americans understand how much power a siting president has over these matters. They just assume that security clearances are granted by a government agency that is impartial and that it’s like a credit score. They don’t realize a sitting president can hand them out like candy.

Don't be deceived. RFK doesn't care about corporate greed. He only attacks the pharma industry because he wants to make it easier to hawk dubious supplements and products from a wellness industry that is already worth trillions and is regulated far less than vaccines and drugs.

Appalling. Remote controlled drones being used to hover over, look at, and then cynically shoot children ranks amongst the sickest cowardice ever. Best not highlight who is doing it though, hey BBC?
