this post has basically become a load bearing pillar of day to day vocabulary at this point

right wing bigots have admitted - the “trans women in bathrooms” issue - the “trans women in sports” issue and - the “trans kids getting surgery” issue were all MADE UP TO TAKE OUR RIGHTS AWAY are you paying attention?

Capitalism is scarier than sentient AI, because the idea of it bring a system to which we have ceded total control as it mindlessly destroys human society to sustain itself isn't speculative fiction.

look I don't always agree with the shadow on the cave wall but some of you are being really unreasonable in the meta discourse about last night's shadow

... and much, much more from MANY voices. When the EA claim "no one has been warning you about this stuff" they are doing a double erasure: 1) Of the people doing the warning 2) Of the actual harms they are warning about bsky.app/profile/emil... >>

that small upward spike there in 2021-22 is like half of what drove the billionaire class completely nuts

The feds harangued Kat and my family over bullshit charges for a year. They tried to beat her down, bankrupt Kat and her codefendants through legal fees, and a defeat her spirit. They fucking lost. They will continue to lose. Fuck ICE forever. To this criminal gang of a government: stay losing.

"rich dipshit owner doesn't understand the industry he's bought into and clumsily destroys what made it good" feels less like a narrative unique to the washington post and more like the music that's been playing in the background of all our lives for at least 40 years

The tragic death of Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year old mother fatally shot by ICE, shows that ICE can’t be reformed and must be abolished. I’ll be introducing the Abolish ICE Act as a step toward justice, accountability, and humanity in our immigration policy. Time to melt ICE.

The year is 2003. I’m 17 years old. I’m watching Democrats fail to appropriately oppose an illegal war for oil. The year is 2026. I’m 40 years old. I’m watching Democrats fail to appropriately oppose an illegal war for oil.

My whole life we’ve been told that The US is simply too big to have high speed rail

WHAT’s up guys its Plato welcome back to the cave. Guys we’ve got some CRAZY shadows for you today you are not gonna want to miss this! But first I have to thank our sponsor OnX Backcountry

We’re not even *close* to running out of good ideas. The issue is smart people’s ideas being systematically persecuted, under-resourced, and blocked from opportunity by fascists. Do not believe propaganda in the “Future Perfect” section of Vox that’s underwritten by Effective Altruism extremists.

1. A new The 19th/SurveyMonkey Poll finds that a majority of Americans are against trans youth care bans. This includes a majority of Independent voters, casting doubt on the narrative that Democrats need to pull back on transgender people. Subscribe to support our journalism.

The gap between teacher pay and other college graduates’ pay is the highest it’s been in over four decades. Is there a “teacher shortage,” or a shortage of jobs that treat educators with the pay, dignity, and support they deserve?

FOUND!!! At 3am on a total million to one chance I was up and decided to poke my head out our front door and she was right there. She knew her way home. She's skinnier than when we left but no visible damage. Vet in the morning.

I'm back in SF and actively searching the streets for Wily. If you see her, DO NOT approach her, just call me: 4152185520.

wife: how was guarding the two paths today, honey? guard: [looking away] fine wife: did something happen? guard: [tearing up] no wife: would the other guard tell me something happened?

Artists, influencers, CEOs, athletes--anyone who anyone pays attention to ought to be speaking up and speaking out right now. Create a national discourse of dissent.

THE RISE OF END TIMES FASCISM My first major piece of the new Trump era, co-written with @astra.bsky.social. The governing ideology of the far right has become a monstrous, supremacist survivalism. Our task is to build a movement strong enough to stop them. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

The New York Times is the first to put out comprehensive estimates on the cost of a year without U.S.A.I.D. and they’re higher than I thought: - 1.65 million deaths from AIDS - 500,000 from lack of vaccines - 550,000 from lack of food aid - 290,000 from malaria - 310,000 from TB

they are not "seemingly" "pushing the limits" they acted illegally then when a judge told them to stop they ignored the order illegally. they are criminals, doing crimes

Hey it's me, Sonic the Hedgehog! Chuck Schumer should resign! The first weeks of Trump 2 have shown he is simply not prepared to meet the moment we are in, much less lead through it. We are living in dangerous times. Schumer's actions show he does not understand the threat. @schumer.senate.gov

like you can see trump's first big "DEI" executive order and read for yourself that they think accessibility is illegal and want to ban it. these people really do hate, like, ramp access to buildings. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

they are mostly targeting black employees so this is quite literally just a repeat of woodrow wilson’s segregationist purge of the federal government

In 2016 the NYT ran multiple front page stories page about the grave national security risk of Hillary Clinton's server. Today's front page, and nary a mention of the successful "plutocratic coup" (said by a sitting House member) or "constitutional crisis (said by a sitting Senator) unfolding

turns out when transphobes said we need to “follow the science” what they meant is delete it and hide all traces of it

they want to erase us completely. do not let them, we will outlive these fascists. create art, take pictures of yourself or your trans friends, make something lasting. we will outlast them forever

The price of eggs in the US is spiking, mostly due to #H5N1 bird flu. Solving the problem requires urgent, important communications from the CDC & FDA* and rapid development of research by the NIH** * Currently paused by Executive Order ** Grant reviews now all canceled www.kcur.org/news/2025-01...

that's right

In observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we commemorate King's enduring contributions to civil rights and economic justice. May we continue to preserve his dream and expand toward a democratic economic system that prioritizes the basic needs of all working-class Americans.

4. Be Proactive. Defeating authoritarianism will require a movement of dedicated citizens. Get involved in your community. Show up to protests and meetings. If you can, donate to organizations doing crucial pro-democracy work. You have more power than you think.

yes that is right

don’t have much to say about TDoR other than I lost two trans friends in the year since the last one. we keep dying, and the Republican state legislatures and demagogues responsible for these deaths haven’t slowed down a single bit I’d like for the nationwide trans panic we’re seeing to finally end
