You can't beat fascism by agreeing with fascism. You can't beat fascists by accepting a fascist frame. Corporatist Democratic Party leadership needs to be defeated and jettisoned. We have to fight them, not because we don't want to fight Republicans, but because they refuse to.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC - @electdemocrats.bsky.social) is running anti-trans ads now, so I don't know how you can say the party itself isn't embracing transphobia. There are still some good Dems out there, but transphobia is apparently a party value.

If you wear a mask- I don't care If you don't wear a mask- I still don't care If you wear it around your chin or with your nose hanging out- I hate that with the heat of a thousand stars
oh my fucking god if you / your household are at the doctor for a respiratory infection and in the year of our collective suffering 2026, the office has *actually* asked y'all to wear a surgical mask for fucks sake don't leave your nose hanging out
I'm having trouble feeling sorry for them. An entirely self-inflicted wound.
Measles is absolutely tearing through unvaccinated communities. There were more new cases of measles in the US in the past seven days (330) than we had in ALL of 2024 (285). A total 4,410 cases this year, which everyone agrees is an undercount. www.cidrap.umn.edu/measles/us-m...
It's almost as if a certain personality type was drawn to law enforcement
"James Heneghan, a 33-year-old Hancock County Sheriff’s Deputy, was arrested Thursday morning on a warrant charging him with 441 counts of intimidation, official misconduct and fraud. Detectives allege that Heneghan made over 6,190 searches between Dec. 2024 and March 2026..."

I hate the entire consumer-facing "A.i." industry so much. Just unrelenting, massive social damage and extraction. A deeply repugnant, immoral, anti-human business.
I’m especially frustrated by the piece uncritically repeating Pangram’s “no false positives” claim when I know writer friends who have run their own work through & had it flag their 100% human-written sentences as machine-generated. We must doubt any company’s claim about its product having 0 fails.
Workers in France who felt ther livelihoods were threatened by automation flung their wooden shoes, called "sabots," into the machines, stopping them Hence the term "sabotage"
Ottawa: AI will help us cut 40,000 public service jobs. Also Ottawa: here are 10,000 placements. Good luck! If government is replacing its own workers with AI, imagine what companies have planned.

First move in any fight is to take out your opponent's knees or eyes. Sharks don't have knees, so your task is easier.
Shark attack survivor Mel Ismail jabbed at the eye of the predator that severed his leg in an effort to fight it off before struggling back to shore, the surfer and professional firefighter said in an interview that revealed new details of his near-death encounter.
