What’s the point of a system where we have apartment blocks that are almost entirely empty most of the year while people can’t afford the roof over their head.

Quite a moment. Jim Acosta announces live on air that he is leaving CNN. Then he ends with this final message: “It is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant. Don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to the fear. Hold on to the truth.” (🎥 CNN)

For those who are not familiar with this subset of the "rationalist" cult: this is the second set of alleged homicides they've committed (the first was in 2022) and there are multiple suicides associated with them, too.

There is no such thing as a safe seat. Demand politicians earn your vote. Don't accept mediocrity. Excuses about "costs" or "need to bring the public with us" are lies. Governments have power, and budgets are about choices & priorities. If it's a priority, it is always affordable.

Just re-upping this again because the Temu Trumps in the LNP insist on bringing every culture war here: the Morrison govt spent $20.8bn on consultants in its final year - the equivalent of 54,000 FT public servants. The private sector benefits with govt cuts. No one else.

When public figures sell us a story about who they are, we don’t have to believe them. Dutton is a multimillionaire Queensland property developer, that’s who he is in every word and action. We don’t have to believe his story, tough guy, copper, he’s a soft bellied Queensland property developer.

if you’re not trans & don’t know about the cass review, when this report comes out, it will look very much like the cass review. the NYT will treat it as legitimate. i know this because they already did it with the cass review & said it should be the new model for america. tap the thread to learn.

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last. Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

This is my favorite picture of Stonewall. They knew they were getting arrested just for being LGBTQ+. Yet... they're still here, standing outside of the boarded up Stonewall Inn, smiling as the world was at a fever pitch of hatred against them. I think about it a lot in moments like this.
