Mass Murder for Oil

“The EU’s highest court has ruled that same-sex marriages must be respected throughout the bloc and rebuked Poland for refusing to recognise a marriage between two of its citizens that took place in Germany.” Some welcome news today. 🇪🇺🏳️‍🌈

That only works in a logic that says that "human" excludes anyone not "cishet Christian healthy wealthy white male privilege." No one else can be covered in that zero sum logic. If they don't get all the rights to do whatever they want to anyone & anything, *their* "human" rights are being infringed

This is men's rights activism taken to the furthest extreme. This is the corruption of patriarchy that has lain (not so) hidden for millennia. It is an immature worldview insisting on dominance by virtue of force and aggression rather than value to the whole of the society they conveniently ignore.

Yikes. (via @steverattner.bsky.social)

Ah, so I can still keep using my protest sign from April.

It's coming out more and more that the GOP Representatives are just as stupid as their voters. They didn't read 2025. They didn't think "their voters" would be hurt. They didn't think insurance would really go up that much. On Monday, we call our Senators. And we tell them.

They created this monster. They all knew about Project 2025. They have the freedom and $$$ to get out. But what about their constituents who can't 'escape'? What about the rest of us??

Or you could, do your job and vote to impeach him.

CONFIRMED: HPV vaccine prevents cervical cancer. “Girls vaccinated before age 16 were 80% less likely to develop cervical cancer. The reviews also confirm that HPV vaccines are only likely to cause minor, transient side effects such as a sore arm.” Ever have colposcopy? That pain is NOT transient.

IT. STILL. BOTHERS. ME. I'm not fkng enlightened, bro.

“.. The revisions set off a backlash. Seth Levi of the Southern Poverty Law Center, a nonprofit civil rights group, called the new policy ‘a national embarrassment.’” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/11/24/u...

"We are throwing half of our money in a well that legend has it will reward our tributes by making our wishes come true. We simply do not have any choice but to now throw the other half of our money in there too."

The Trump-Zeldin EPA is quickly and quietly approving pesticides that break down into "forever chemical" contaminants that accumulate in water, soil, and human bodies.

As a survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Viola Ford Fletcher bravely shared her story so that we’d never forget this painful part of our history. Michelle and I are grateful for her lifelong work to advance civil rights, and send our love to her family.

"A growing body of research suggests that minimum wages distort economies in ways that do not immediately appear in jobs numbers." Maybe The Economist should focus on how tech companies with inflated valuations distort economies instead of targeting low income folks.

Emmanuel, a 15-year-old with intellectual disabilities, wandered away from his mom’s fruit stand in October. She reported him missing to Houston police. But instead of reuniting them, the city turned him over to ICE. “They’re failing all of us,” his mom said. thebarbedwire.com/2025/11/24/d...

Going to war as "a favor to our oil companies" used to be something Republicans vigorously denied.

We the people have had enough of Republicans.

#RIP 😥

The evil of the Trump regime cannot be underestimated. They kidnapped an autistic child and separated him from his mother. Impeach. Convict. And remove them all.

I mentioned Emmanuel in my article about ICE enforcement being a mass disabling event. Infections run rampant in the camps. People are denied medical care and health accommodations. ICE is furthering the regime’s eugenicist agenda: www.disabledginger.com/p/ice-enforc...

A mother and her 15 year old autistic son are reunited after nearly 50 days apart. Emmanuel Garcia went missing, and rather than check missing person’s reports, Houston PD called ICE. ICE sent him to the Office of Refugee Resettlement and his mom has been fighting to get him back ever since.

Genius

Vladimir Putin is popping champagne corks. His hand puppet in Washington has left the United States alone, weakened and hated on the world stage. Canada and the rest of the world have moved on. financialpost.com/pmn/business...

Calls for Pam Bondi to be fired grow as James Comey case collapses "Bondi has twice submitted affirmations to this court about the propriety of Lindsay Halligan’s grand jury presentation. She lied, or she’s equally incompetent, but more likely she lied." www.irishstar.com/news/politic...

🤡BIG BREAKING: Judge dismisses cases against James Comey and Letitia James after finding Trump's handpicked prosecutor Lindsey Halligan was unlawfully appointed. Will Halligan (and maybe Bondi) get disbarred for gross incompetence and serious ethics violations?

Republicans don't want my vote to count, the shitholes.

It has always been so obvious that the backlash to MeToo isn’t about whether the abuse is happening but whether people are allowed to want it to stop

We’ve turned the page twice in relatively recent history and it’s only made things worse. Some wounds will heal on their own. The bad ones kill you if you don’t treat them

Everything wrong with political journalism in one graf. This is not a policy proposal that exists but that doesn’t matter, what matters is that someone “won” by asking it bsky.app/profile/larr...

"In a decisive legal skirmish over the proposed dismantling of four federal agencies, Mass. AG Andrea Joy Campbell emerged victorious. The court's ruling prevents the disbanding of agencies for Museum & Library Services, Minority Bus. Development, Council on Homelessness, and 1 more." #GoodNews

The only way a lot of women stayed wealthy was by staying married. They literally could not walk out the door and walk into a bank and open their own accounts. They were financially trapped. Patriarchy is class warfare.

“we need to be nicer to men” bro they didn’t let women have their own credit cards til 50 years ago

„Quiet, Piggy!“ Just think about that for a minute, and what it means to live in a time when a President can assault a woman in public like that without any consequences. It‘s quite a testimony to the age of regression we live in.

Russian Colonel Gen Makarevich, who blew up Nova Kakhovka dam in Ukraine in 2023, has been sent to Venezuela to lead Russia’s military advisory mission there. By blowing up the dam, he killed around 200 civilians. As I mentioned, Russia managed to use DJT to push Maduro closer to them.
