I was always gonna boycott the Harry Potter TV series but I would urge anyone on the fence to stop engaging with the franchise as long as JKR is using her proceeds to fund her continued attacks on trans people and allies. Reheated nostalgia slop just isn’t worth it.

Winning at all levels, growth rate, foreign policy, immigration policy, energy policy, list is long

he needs to be ousted as leader immediately

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

The fact that J.K. Rowling successfully bullied Amnesty International into taking down a report that accurately called out her attack on trans people, especially trans women, is so repulsive and such a display of the power of her money, and her choice to put her vast fortune behind persecution.

My favorite Sam Neil fact will always be that he designed a future Australian flag that replaces the union jack with the aboriginal flag for Event Horizon and insisted the film use it.

Damn. Rest in Peace, Mr. Neill.

i think his death proves once and for all that Lindsey Graham was straight. no real gay would die during a new Madonna album release cycle

This political cartoon by American artist Ron Cobb in 1975 is still relevant today 51 years later.

Wake up internet Lindsay Graham just died

The nazis have been given control of enough social media to organise a paedo panic pogrom basically anywhere. It was never a secret that there was a mob's-worth of people who would like that in many places, it was just impossible to organise those people if you were some skinhead gang.

Alarming story that confirms my own reporting along similar lines: Dan Moraff, the political strategist who plucked Graham Platner out of obscurity to run for senate and barely vetted him, was barred from Rep. Summer Lee’s 2022 campaign after three complaints of sexual misconduct.

this is just pathetic. besides two MASSIVE leaps in logic ("wanting to tax the rich is the same logic as assassination; it's also antisemitism"), you'd think a *Christian* magazine might engage *Christian* arguments about how to treat the wealthy. they are barely referenced, solely to be ignored

Les pone jugar a la conspiraciones, pero terminan siendo tan ridículos como los nazis de la peli de los Blues Brothers... El grupo supremacista que desfiló con capuchas en Washington se reúne con Núcleo Nacional poco antes de que se presente como partido www.publico.es/politica/gru...

I've personally learnt a big, much needed personal lesson from the Platner fiasco and me believing his lies: Never again will I believe bad people can change. Like "having hope" and "believing in karma", I won't ever delude myself that "redemption" is real.

Rest in peace, Lorenzo 💔

The Jim Steinman-verse takes another mortal blow.

Rutte didn't answer the question.

The Department of Energy removed roughly 6,000 web pages covering energy conservation topics The deletions came as over 165 million Americans faced dangerous heat across the Midwest and East Coast Energy Secretary Chris Wright had separately ordered mid-Atlantic data centers onto backup power

This is our extraordinary 🌎 Why are we destroying it? #ClimateCrisis #Metacrisis

Rogue One (2016)

Empire collapse under the weight of metaphors.

She represents all of us in this rapidly collapsing fail state

Once again reminding folks that fireworks are fucking stupid and unnecessary. Just don't do it. It negatively impact so many, animals especially, but also causes immeasurable harm in so many other ways. Also, they look the same every year, not even cool looking. Truman is genuinely sad.

Those moves 😍

Mamdani: "Those who led through exclusion & isolation have tried to win power & enrich themselves by turning us against one another ... today, too many of our leaders do not believe in a vision of this nation as an asylum for the persecuted, but rather as one that persecutes those seeking asylum"

HELL YES. Man it feels amazing to hear a successful politician saying these things, and more than that, seemingly being engaged daily in the work of proving that another way is possible.

Incredible moment where Fox News puts up a graphic with all the reasons it opposes the DSA and why people should be afraid of them

HELLO

People, for the love of God, please stop treating birthright as some kind of sweeping victory. It was 5-4 on the constitutional issue. The dissent laid out a fucking ROADMAP for what Trump should do next. The court always gives Trump multiple bites at the apple WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU HAPPY ABOUT?

This country was one person's vote away this morning from putting any birthright citizen in danger of being deported tomorrow. We are so much closer to the abyss than we think. Man oh man.

These are the words of a man entirely out of his depth. Schumer came up in a time where fundraising from rich people and doing sharp-elbow electoral politics were the most important skills. He does not know how to fight this fascist movement. And if he did he doesn’t have the skill. Replace him.

So he's gonna advocate for all people with depression to get four months off for rehabilitation, right? And he's gonna tell RFK jr to fuck off with his quest to limit the medication that Kean is very clearly taking to be functional?

trans rights are human rights and nothing will change that, no matter what a bunch of unelected law wizards and bigoted legislators say

Real out-of-the-box thinking to have the Civil Rights Division committing actual civil rights violations.

Some amazing quotes in this article about how Ford replaced hundreds of engineers with AI, which broke a bunch of shit causing billions in damage and forcing them to rehire those people. www.the-independent.com/tech/ford-ai...

Alito’s standard for racial discrimination in the TPS ruling, that racism has to be the *sole* motivation to count as discriminatory, is so deranged that it could arguably cover neither Jim Crow nor slavery. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

listen up america, your choices are openly white supremacist fascist fucks or completely out-of-touch rainbow capitalists with no moral backbone whatsoever. attempting to elect people outside of this spectrum is a betrayal of our electoral process.

The ideology in question is opposing fascism. This horrific action is a shot across the bow at all of us—everyone who cares about their neighbors, who dares to dream of a better world, who opposes ICE terror and authoritarian repression. We cannot allow the state to disappear them.

"I have accepted Keir Starmer's resignation as my chief servant and have invited Andy Burnham to lay out details for how many meals a day he'll give me"

Fucking what? By who???

I'm seated!

Man Iran really kicked our asses on this one huh

I wish Hell was real so the cops that murdered this baby would burn in it for eternity.

The most shadow banned post in the history of posts lol

my favorite part is when he has no choice but to rely on the protection of several middle aged ladies out shopping

my man looking like the baby from the Teletubby sun grew up to be an alcoholic

I don’t even follow basketball and I am not from and have never lived in NYC but this thread is genuinely lovely.

In this video, @naomioreskes.bsky.social talks about the root reason authoritarians are so hostile to science: Scientific authority comes from a source that's independent of any single leader. I think the exact same thing could be said of journalism. 🧵
