To clarify, Texas Transgender Student Union is the bogus anonymous LLC registered in Wyoming, not the real transgender advocacy group it attempted to impersonate.

In August, the Trump administration flew 12 Somali immigrants to an ICE facility at Guantanamo Bay. “Nobody tell us that we’re going to Guantanamo Bay,” Sakariye Abdi Mohamed told journalist Amanda Moore in a phone call from the detention facility. “Just like kidnapping.”

Abdul El-Sayed nails it: "The real question is about what should we use our money for?" "It's a pretty crazy thing that a whole lot of people in Washington DC... think that the best use of our tax dollars is to give bombs and tanks to a country that has universal healthcare and universal college."

Adding to Chanda’s point here: this level of action and optimism can likely be attributed to the fact that Lula and the Workers’ Party are leftist and they believe that better things are possible.

Yesterday, Josh Turek released one of the worst anti-transgender ads to come from a Democrat this election cycle. It called for a federal funding ban on gender affirming care, which would impact countless trans Americans. Here is our article on the ad you have all undoubtedly seen by now.

Lula: "We had to overcome foreign interference through digital platforms, which we will have to regulate. A crime in the digital world must be treated the same as a crime in the real world. We cannot have monstrous companies earning millions... not paying taxes... wanting to steer elections."

I think one of the best aspects of this story is just how *average* the cop is. This is pretty much what most cops are like. They believe they are doing a good job.

The New York Times wrote articles that were like "the impossible-to-characterize elusive politics of Elon Musk / he's lost interest in politics" right before he became *literally the largest GOP donor in history* the next election cycle. Twice. Two times!

One of the things that continually floors me is how many schools—across the country—refuse FREELY OFFERED air filters even when the science is clear that they help cut down on all airborne infections. Some schools even ban them, despite students and parents begging to be allowed to use/provide them.

Elana Levin@levin.bsky.social

The city run long covid care clinics have long wait lists and there’s no way that most people who need them would even find out about them. I have no idea what quality of care they offer as no one I know has been able to get in. Meanwhile schools & city buildings don’t have hair filtration.

Wildfires are a known threat in the West. But after a fire scars the earth, there's another, underemphasized risk. Severe burns can strip away plants and leave soils that don’t easily absorb water, increasing the potential for catastrophic floods. Towns are often caught unprepared. THREAD ⬇️
