It is really hard to watch people willfully tear down an infrastructure that allowed us to double lifespans, drastically reduce poverty, and become one of the richest countries in the world.

White power and fascism depend on a nuclear family and a traditional nuclear family to enforce hierarchy and power dynamics that are then reproduced later in life within the fascist system. People who are LGBTQ plus knock a hole in this fundamental lie they require to to reproduce their ideology

This is like Senators asking for Trump to release funding for their pet projects. When you campaigned for a personalist presidency you have turned yourself into a beggar seeking the King’s favor rather than a citizen who can be confident of equal treatment for all.

Another way to put this: Musk and his twerps have exposed us to pandemics, broken science, stolen all your data, endangered the U.S. payments system, threatened air traffic control, and cut off HIV medication to 20m people in order to save ::checks notes:: 2/10th of a percent of the federal budget.

Need to rotate a lot for Wednesday. Ali, Bradley, Konate, VVD, Tsimikas, Endo, Jones, Dom, Diaz, Nunez, Salah. Sub Dom, Diaz at HT if possible. Won't happen though, the usual midfield 3 would start.

What a horrible game yesterday btw. Most players were dead after HT, couldn't even run, let alone play simple passes. Consequences of grinding our players to dust. Can't see more than 4-5 points from the next 3 games. Too lethargic to defend.

This is a program for teenagers with serious disabilities who are finishing high school and transitioning to their next steps in life. Trump just axed it, effective immediately, in the middle of the night, with no notice.

This is a good time to remind everyone that this administration hasn't done anything for anyone. It has literally only taken away things we've already paid for and fired and sued people. Oh and the quid pro quo with Adams. That's the extent of what they have done. Kinda nuts.

Think a lotta LFC supporters take the Arsenal related stuff too personally/seriously. Yes there's ott whinging, more than normal, but there are a few justified points there. They've had their best ever form for a couple of years without winning, course that'll sting.

It was a poor ref performance, but nothing's gonna ever resolve that, we need to just avoid situations like that stoppage time malarkey. Be smart, physical in the box and keep the damn ball. Easier said than done but that's how we can win the title.

This AP story, datelined outside the US, contains unusually clear language about Musk’s antagonistic behavior toward victims, his preferential treatment from multiple governments, and his corrupt behavior in the US. Funny how that works.

I think what's being done to trans people in this country is a FUCKING SCANDAL. It's absolutely an attempt at eradicating trans people from public life and ALL OF US must refuse this. Everyone. Stop being a loser mealy mouth person. This is bullshit. You should say so in all the places you inhabit.

1. Show up. Go to the places Musk is taking over, bring cameras, demand to find out what's going on and where it breaks the law. 2. Refuse to allow standard business to continue unimpeded. Deny unanimous consent, delay votes, etc. 3. Be public about how illegal all of this is 4. Lay out a plan

Kelleher, Bradley, Endo, Quansah, Tsimikas, Morton, Nyoni, McConnell, Elliott, Chiesa, Danns. Ali, Konate, VVD, Trent, Grav, Mac, Dom, Diaz and Salah shouldn't even travel. Protect our players at least, if we aren't gonna get more bodies. Not sure if we'll do this though. Will be 3-4 starters in.

I'm coming to the frightening conclusion that utter ideological disregard for the Constitution and desensitization to corruption are both so widespread in the American political class at this point that a lot of Democrats genuinely do not see what everyone's so freaked out about right now.

In the space of half a day, the new administration has trashed the Constitution, subverted the independence of the DOJ, granted a broad amnesty to traitors, abandoned the global community on climate and public health, and launched a wide-ranging attack on minority rights.

They’re banning TikTok not because it harvests data, the same way US social media does, but because they can’t influence it’s algorithm with congressional hearings or government contracts the way they do every other tech giant. That’s it.
