We should set aside our petty grievances in order to make room for new and even more petty grievances

Congressional Dems are in a tough spot. On one hand, they could gain incredible advantage in the upcoming midterms by vigorously denouncing Trump's reckless war. On the other hand, they like it.

yes and thank you for the excuse to share one of my all-time favorite tweets (from @longwall26.bsky.social)

Texas AG Ken Paxton has declared that it is illegal for mental health providers and therapists to treat trans youth. It means that trans youth will be denied access to any mental healthcare that isn't conversion therapy. Paxton also threatens parents of trans youth with child abuse investigations.

Don’t make me tap the sign (yet again)

A beautiful day and how nice does the Watson building look? Built 1896, 8 years after Belfast Central Library opened and 15 years after Hercules Street was renamed Royal Avenue. On Library St, the scene of a Blackshirt open air fascist rally in 1934 that was successfully disrupted by antifascists.

"i want to live in a world where fantastical sexuality in art is not seen as a gutter to emerge from" ♥️

"The victory of this progressive woman representing a trans inclusive party led by a gay jewish man just goes to show the danger of hateful islamic sectarianism in our society" my latest for Heil Hitler magazine

Wait, Britain has politics as well?? Christ, when will it end

Lmao

Given that we're told that Muslims as a bloc are communalist, anti-Semitic, misogynist homophobes, you might assume voting for a non-religious white woman, standing for a LGBT friendly party, led by a gay Jewish man, might lead you to stand down all those sectarianism headlines.

Forensic.

But fundamentally, this shows why first past the post isn’t fit for purpose. If the government doesn’t introduce proportional voting, a far right party could win the next general election outright on a minority of the vote.

brace yourself for heretofore unimaginable levels of cope

I take it the Greens have won then, because we are instantly on our bullshit

"The president had DOJ illegally cover up documents about allegations he sexually assaulted a child after Congress specifically passed a law requiring they be disclosed" is, in and of itself, enough to merit rapid removal from office regardless of how true or credible the underlying allegation is.

To any Democrat who ever said about any issue, "Maybe if we agree with Republicans just this far, they'll stop there," remember that you were wrong, it was obvious at the time, and you really should never believe that again about any issue, ever.

About a quarter of all trans people in this country have moved states in possibly the largest internal migration of a particular minority group since the great migration. This is a full blown crisis.

you don’t need to watch live tv when the only thing you really want to see would be the most-watched clip on youtube for the next hundred years

okay, this is funny, though

Speaking of Penguin, I see they're giving away PENGUIN PRIDE pins in bookshops everywhere at the moment. Same publisher is making huge $$$ off J*rdan Peters*n, but some pins will fix it.

oh ok so you expect the director of the FBI to sober up every time someone tries to assassinate the president? grow up.

Peter Mandelson has been arrested - send up the hater signal. It's once again a poster's holiday.

he's polling at 19% approval so much like Hillary in 2016; it's conceivable that his canvassing will further harm his candidate's chances

NB this is part of how this is going. The idea that non-white people, whether British, or those fleeing harm, should be treated with dignity has gone from consensus, to debated, to an afterthought, and is sliding all the way over to counter-consensus. bsky.app/profile/pete...

not markedly different from Labour's logic; we must acquiesce to the right to defeat... the right

Here are two graphs that show either how bad humans are at predicting the future OR, just possibly, how oil money can motivate reasoning to bend public & private investments to its will:
