Lula winning is great for the planet, great for Brazil, and great for people who aren't revanchist assholes everywhere in the world, but let's not forget that it's also going to make some of the worst people on Earth extremely sad and mad. We should enjoy that, as a little treat.
NY voter info: voting for Hochul on row D is essential to preserving the @nywfp.bsky.social ballot line which was a crucial tool for Zohranβs win, how we beat the GOP state senate etc.
Vote yes on all nyc ballot measures. # 1 is of particular importance to me. Itβll make the city more accessible.
A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women.

Here's Lula celebrating tonight with Erika Hilton, a transgender politician who led the drive to end the six-day work week in Brazil.
Erika showed workers solidarity, they showed her solidarity back.
Solidarity is how fascism loses.
LOL -- JD Vance says "I've endorsed one foreign candidate in my entire life, and it didn't go particularly well, as much as I'm very much an admirer of Orban"
Anti-trans Democrats are spreading poison when we can least afford it, during elections in this ongoing fascist takeover.
As a strategy, itβs a recipe for failure. As a moral stand, itβs reprehensible.
PS Iβm the father of young trans woman and Iβll never forgive anyone who makes her life harder.
Itβs good that cheesecake factory is decorated like an occult temple to an eldritch deity. Any restaurant can feed you cheesecake, only Cheesecake Factory makes it feel like part of a ritual
I think people intuitively understand that democratic candidates tossing trans kids to the wolves is not only morally repugnant but also politically ineffective, otherwise they wouldn't freak out every time someone said they weren't voting for a democrat who did this
if you ever happen to see someone post a joke you don't understand or discuss a subject you aren't familiar with, you are well within your right to complain, and perhaps even scold them if necessary. you are their customer and you have rights
A helpfully clear exchange here
Hasan: "So your argument is that [Minnesota ICE protesters] should stay at home because immigration is a salient issue for Donald Trump. Opposing ICE is only going to help Trump. Wait until we win the election in 2028."
Yglesias: "Yes that is what I would have said"
As we approach the midterms, remember that the Alt National Park Service is a merch sales operation claiming without evidence to be a group of federal employees, and is not a genuine source of news about elections of any kind.
Please get your election info from a local, reputable source.
Just here to +1 what @bradlander.bsky.social's saying.
AND he went w/@truahrabbis.bsky.social via Protect the Harvest, a coalition project that incl groups engaged in this very solidarity work on the ground for decades (eg Rabbis for Human Rights). Nobody's new or capricious in this space.
The Israeli Foreign Ministry is lying.
No coordination was required, and we were never told that it was. We were not in a restricted security area. We did not pass any checkpoints.

The Israeli government is trying to foment violence between Jews and Palestinians, and to make it impossible for Palestinians to harvest their olive groves, drive on their roads, or live in their homes.
every sport has a fun term for a weird little oddball occurrence. basketball has the wedgie, where the ball gets stuck between the rim and backboard. football has the doink, where a kick bounces off a goal post. baseball has baseball games
okay as someone who doesn't live there but just visited, we LIVED off mass transit. Muni, BART, the many buses and trollies... we took ONE cab the entire week.
SF is fucking expensive and horrible to navigate without reliable transportation. In conclusion fuck this very much
"Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART)... is considering cutting 70% of its service and closing up to 15 of 50 stations, some 30%. Caltrain, the areaβs leading local commuter rail system, could discontinue weekend service and shutter up to a third of its stations."
I'm in the West Bank this week as part of the βProtect the Harvestβ coalition along with Israelis for Peace, Unarmed Civilian Protection in Palestine & Protect the Harvest.
My dog is now addicted to dried bull dicks and while it is fun to say to her, "let's go find your penis", it is also alarming and upsetting to tell your afab dog that you promise you'll find her favorite penis just chilling in your husband's closed office.

βIβm old. Iβve paid my home off,β said Ray Warner, a 72-year-old Akron resident. βWhy would I pay property tax?β
Across the country, homeowners are asking the same question and revolting against property taxes at a scale not seen in a half century.
Any of my mutuals return-to-school-as-adult-ers?
bc holy shit I am bad at this and I'm not even doing that badly I just get much angrier at myself now that I'm over 40 and "of the age where people do an effort"
