the thing most people struggle with is understanding that doj wasn’t hesitant to go hard at trump because they were unsure of the outcome, they were hesitant because they were VERY sure of the outcome (conviction) and it scared the shit out of them.

These are the people who are willing to go on the record. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/u...

Happy EPSTEIN Files Release Day Eve for all those who celebrate!!! 👍

trans kids should have access to healthcare. same as cis kids. ANYTHING that their parents and doctors think would have a positive impact. Not complicated.

Things are going great over at X, The Everything App

Just when I thought I couldn't admire the man more... 🎯 🎯 🎯 💯 💯 💯 👍 👍 👍

Since Polygon is leaving it out of the headline: Epic Games partnered with The Game Awards to put money into the pocket of a bigot who uses her wealth to further the genocide of trans people through lawsuits and legislation. Every 'free' game gives money directly to JKR, and they are complicit.

wanneer je partij afgelopen 1,5 decennium de zorgstaat uitholde, extreem rechts normaliseerde, racisme witwaste, de democratische rechtsstaat hielp ondermijnen, grondrechten wil inperken, een genocide niet erkent, en de kiezer geeft geen ene moer. 🇳🇱💃🏻🥰💃🏻🇳🇱

If someone tries to tell you that diversity is a problem, you should immediately wonder what’s in it for them if you believe them.

🫢 😳 😧 🤢 🤮 😡 I have an even worse feeling about THIS:

Rowling and Emma Watson's argument is painful to watch😢 Good-hearted transgender people never intend to hurt anyone else. They just want to love who they want to love and live according to their soul's direction. Chiitan stands by the hearts of good-hearted transgender people. I love everyone

stellan skarsgård seems like a good dude

A portion of every dollar spent on Harry Potter merchandise goes to anti-transgender campaigns.

Good thread from @signal.org CEO, @meredithmeredith.bsky.social underscoring our critical dependencies on a few key orgs, and an increasing challenge in organizational and national resilience. We have a lot of work to do. cc @gate15.bsky.social

This thread does a better job of capturing why the cloud isn’t merely “renting a bunch of servers” than anything else I’ve seen recently.

absolutely shameful that the university has embraced the administration’s demand that it discriminate against its students. this is the board of visitors telling UVA students that if they aren’t white and cisgendered then they don’t belong.

Some transgender people see only darkness in front and behind them. The current climate is especially accelerating this. Transgender people just want to love the people they love and live their lives as themselves. Let's all join hands and change the world🫶🌏🫶

"Destruction of federal property is a federal crime-18 U.S. Code § 1361 defines it as willfully injuring or committing any depredation of U.S. gov't property-Damage exceeding $1k is a felony w/ a fine-up to 10 yrs in prison or both" Meanwhile-took me forever to get permits to repaint my mailbox.

I wonder how many of today's particular problems can be blamed on individuals all across society naively thinking "surely I don't have to connect those dots for the audience" despite the growing evidence that you do, in fact, have to connect those dots for the audience.

The kind of brain that can look at this wanton destruction of a quintessentially American symbol and think "looks cool, boss" is the same kind of brain that watched all of Star Trek and somehow didn't notice how woke the show is. 6th grade reading level, and all that.

It's the guns 💯%

This is amazing. My big takeaway is that a lot of these Trump appointees, and definitely Lindsey Halligan, are desperately insecure about how stupid/unqualified they are for the positions they hold. Which just tells me we should talk about it more.

Ignore all laws about altering historic properties ✅ Pave over Rose Garden for tacky Mar-A-Lardo Patio ✅ Demolish East Wing after lying that "It won't interfere with the current building. It'll be near it but not touching it" ✅ Build gaudy $250M Ballroom as public struggles financially ✅ #Ugh🤢✅

My ballroom prediction: it never gets finished, ends up having to be torn off because it wasn’t properly constructed, and the contractor never gets paid

I can’t believe we’ve progressed to “he’s just going to write himself checks” (I absolutely believe it)

The technical consensus is clear: you can't create a backdoor that only lets the "good guys" in. However they're dressed up, these proposals create cybersecurity loopholes that hackers & hostile nations are eager to exploit. 6/

The war is not over, however. Now we move to the European Council, where the issue is unresolved. We expect closed-door negotiations to engage in rhetorical arbitrage--claiming to support privacy via word games and bespoke definitions--while in practice undermining it. Tedious & dangerous stuff. 3/

We're so relieved to see Germany reaffirm its opposition to the dangerous Chat Control proposal--the one that would mandate mass scanning of communications. Germany's long been a solid champion of privacy, and the news that it was considering backing mass surveillance was alarming. 1/

Two years since October 7, 2023. Here are the numbers that show what Israel has done to Gaza—a thread 🧵

FWIW I've written to the Irish Minister for Justice - an enthusiastic supporter of Europe's hideous "chat control" phone-scanning proposal - asking him to imagine when that technology is used against him. If you're German, please, PLEASE write to your justice/interior minister today.
