It cannot be made clearer. If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

A new White House memo says that furloughed federal workers aren't entitled to back pay. This is clearly against the law, which guarantees furloughed federal employees back pay for the duration of a government shutdown.

Matthew 15:29-31: And great crowds came to him, bringing with them the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute, and many others, and they put them at his feet, and he healed them after verifying their citizenship status.

“.. CarMax and Carvana’s loan troubles are reshaping the used car market .. posting delinquencies 2–3x higher than prime auto benchmarks.” $KMX $CVNA #ItsFine @cardealershipguy.bsky.social news.dealershipguy.com/p/carvana-vs...

As a former gamer, I cannot overstate how big of a deal this right-wing takeover of Electronic Arts is. Are they going to create video games where they kidnap and dismember journalists like Jamal Khashoggi?

Dear campaign emailers: Not only do I delete emails from James Carville, I will also unsub myself from your campaigns emails before the deletion. Stop cluttering up my box with that guy! Thanks.

Chaos again, feds tackling protesters at random. They just detained @peoplesfabric.com.

the word of the day is jury nullification. Ok fine that's two words

There is no measured way to say what I am about to say. If the Supreme Court agrees with the Trump administration to end birthright citizenship, we must end this current Supreme Court. I do not say this lightly.

I hate getting a phone software update because T-Mobile uses it as an opportunity to try and get me to add all sorts of junk and bloatware to my phone. *uncheck, uncheck, uncheck* I don't want Candy Crush on my phone, and I've told you that every update the last 3 years!

I hope some newspapers use a crop where you can easily read the sign.

NEW: Department of Homeland Security police officers arrested City Comptroller Brad Lander along with 10 other local elected officials inside 26 Federal Plaza who had demanded access to ICE’s holding area. buff.ly/MHiJdaK

Happy Hispanic Heritage Month everyone!

I'm embarrassed that my high school diploma, BA and JD are from Texas educational institutions. That is all.

If outlets don't resist censorship, journalism’s independence “sinks to the lowest common denominator whenever news of global importance breaks in a country governed by a repressive regime,” FPF tells @theintercept.com. “What makes [Reuters] think the next censorial regime ... isn’t taking notes?”

I'm a subscriber to Erin's work, and I highly recommend it!

Just to be excruciatingly clear here, nobody should die from gun violence. NOBODY. I am so tired of hearing of shootings day after day after day. But let's not forget who Charlie Kirk was and what he had to say.

Let's be honest. These are war crimes.

We are in a bad place, and it's getting worse.

We Americans should be *mortified* that the words "safe parking for unhoused schoolchildren" are a thing. This is disgusting. Children need stable housing, not "safe parking."

Here, a friend of mine has a t-shirt addressing this very thing. www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/1733... Also "iterative prompting" uses up a lot of tokens, costs users more $$$ and consumes a lot of power. This sounds like propaganda for AI slop. @davidgerard.co.uk

@davidgerard.co.uk of course he turned off comments

*sigh* I knew this day would come. I didn't want it to come. Farewell, Maru, you taught us cats are indeed liquid. We will miss you!

Dear US Open attendees, be at ready with your cameras!

Well this is utter horsepuckey. Autism existed before Tylenol became available. *snort*

Trump demanding to be invited into Chicago and Baltimore is some real Vampire Rules shit

the big 4 sewing pattern brands are being sold off for parts. if you want patterns, get them *now*. (if you're secretly a zillionaire who likes sewing patterns, call the liquidator immediately with your chequebook) craftindustryalliance.org/parent-compa...

Felt like a pie chart was in order. Number of mass shooters since 2018: 4197 % of mass shooters since 2018 that were transgender? 0.095% % of mass shooters that were cisgender: 99.905%

Another fucking nightmare coming our way. We already have this with regular insurance!

This is obscene thehill.com/policy/defen...

@davidgerard.co.uk WTF?

“I was r*ped sometimes 3 times a day on that island… and I was not the only girl on that island… Ghislaine must die in prison, because I’ve been in hell and back for the last 17 years.” Listen to the survivors.

One must repost this fabulousness every now and then: Arab woman in Muscat, Oman, 1919 by Frederick Simpich Sr.

Mamdani, a guy who holds no office and has zero scandals, has gotten more scrutiny than the guy tearing up the Constitution every day in the White House.

To which I add this wonderful Bruce Sterling passage, which for many years I kept beside my keyboard.

DC police are now harrasssing people on metro bus stops. This is Fascism.

BREAKING: BlueSky is blocking access to Mississippi. This is the No. 1 platform for @mississippifreepress.org. We ditched X for BlueSky early this year. And now, at 3 pm on a Friday, poof. I don't know what we'll do next. Keep up with us using our newsletter at mfp.ms/subscribe.

Not enough headlines reading “Child Abuse Advocate James Dobson Dead At 89.”

Up until today, I didn't have an idea for an art commission. But now I do. I'd like to commission art of James Dobson being chased and bit by a three-headed Cerebus in the afterlife. The Cerebus has to be a dachshund, since Dobson once proudly beat his dachshund Siggie. Interested? LMK!

@davidgerard.co.uk Argh!

This is going to piss him off!!

JUST IN: Judge Berman agrees that effort by DOJ to unseal Epstein grand jury files is a “diversion” when DOJ could just release a trove of far more comprehensive documents without court involvement. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
