What Jane wanted most was a public acknowledgment by the school that the watermelon and keffiyeh in no way constituted hate speech, and in February they even agreed on a statement to that effect. But suddenly they backtracked, saying the apology was a nonstarter and asking Jane to sign an NDA.

Single parents of America! I know it's damn hard for y'all doing it all alone & raising your kids. Think of these single parents in Gaza raising theirs! If you were them, couldn't you use some support?

EZRA KLEIN: What I find admirable about this sieg-Heiling freak who is personally responsible for the deaths of countless thousands of people and the gratuitous loss of hundreds of thousands of government jobs, who cheats at videogames and ruined Twitter, is that he pretends to want to go to Mars

@schiff.senate.gov, please directly address the reports that LLMs have encouraged kids to kill themselves and shoot up their schools AND that "A.i." decreases cognitive abilities AND the companies are run by right wing billionaires AND the environmental and economic damage the industry causes.

Can some of my followers please start posting some stuff on their sites.

Damn! Wonder why!

A wee reminder of how the British State operated against the democratic will of the people of Scotland during the 2014 Referendum. youtu.be/TXQYuLUAbyw?...

I am quite certain @zackpolanski.bsky.social is a better guardian of my Jewish values than Keir Starmer who said it was appropriate to cut off water from a people subject to genocide.

This week, we’ve been told that Donald Trump was once physically fit enough to be an astronaut AND a pro baseball prospect, yet somehow bone spurs 5 times precluded him from serving like most men of his generation.

Release the Epstein Files. #EpsteinFiles

The saddest part about these "attempts" on Pedolph Shitler is that the Epstein Files still have not been released.

HAPPENING NOW: Tim Heidecker delivers an update on the future of InfoWars and takes calls from viewers including President Donald J. Trump.

Interesting to see folk in England willing to learn from Scottish experience.. but there are so many other areas where this could be done if Westminster could only get over its Anglo-centric prejudice. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Governments of the world: Cut ties with Palantir and Peter Thiel now. actions.eko.org/a/government...

People told me similar things about Harris. At some point you have to be thinking about how to reduce the most harm to the communities that are and will be devastated by fascist oppression. We're running out of time. Republicans, the real fascists, are redistricting state maps right now.

It's ironic to see those same global elites who love partying with the likes of known & convicted child sex-trafficker Jeffrey #Epstein now push to restrict E2E and #VPN use while supporting age, biometric, and identity #verification online worldwide in the name of protecting children. 1/2 #Privacy

I find these numbers extraordinary. Given the unbelievable awfulness of Trump and his appointees, surely it should be 'no contest' when it comes to party favourability ratings? Many U.S. voters seem to be saying: Trump & Republicans are really bad, but we don't see a clearly better alternative.

Hipkins shows how an off-the-cuff witticism can go wrong enough to derail other conversations that need to be happening. At least be focused and bold if you're going to stuff up. Make it worth it. #NzPol
