it’s genuinely so beast mode that voters in virginia saw these jay jones texts leak and elected him by 7 point and then flipped the seat of the republican who leaked these texts to a democrat lmfao

‘He’s got the chat ain’t he’

The claim that it doesn’t “materially and substantially disrupt” learning is only true if you don’t believe trans students have the same rights to education as their cisgender peers.

There is no national emergency of children suffering the consequences of being asked to use affirmed pronouns, but the reverse absolutely is happening. Parents of trans kids are having to home school their kids because lawsuits like this one have obliterated school systems ability to protect them.

I finally had a chance to read the Ohio case prohibiting schools from enforcing anti-bullying policies protecting trans kids. This is a shining example of the two-faced nature of ostensible “free speech” legal groups who never seem to feel the same compulsion to actually sue on behalf of trans kids.

On some level even cis people who think they're not transphobic think trans people deserve more harassment than other people because we're not *quite* equal.

Reminder dat Gert-Jan Segers in de adviesraad van de NCAB zit, nadat hij als politicus betrokken was bij de oprichting ervan én de invulling ervan.

Who's Funding the War on Trans Inclusion? “The stated goal of strategic litigation is rarely to win every case. It’s to make the target behaviour—in this case, implementing trans-inclusive policies—expensive, risky, and exhausting”

“woke” is when you acknowledge that black people have contributed to the united states

Ff Frank van Gool bellen. Die heeft best nog wel een paar extra duiten over voor het stiekem slachten van een wet waar de branche graag vanaf wilde.

Sorry, guys. Probably just a trick of the light.

Obviously this is ridiculous as a policy for employees but also as a customer my blanket preference from any people working in any store anywhere ever is “leave me the absolute fuck alone” Smiling?? Eye contact?? TALKING TO ME???? Absolutely not!!!!

The data from mainstream media to social media seems to be telling a story: the incentives of political discourse + news sharing amplify intergroup conflict around moralized issues (culture war) In turn, politicians ignore socioeconomic issues (thus increasing inequality and right-wing populism).

The CA Supreme Court this week unanimously rejected a challenge to policies against misgendering in long term care centers, ending a first amendment challenge similar to the recently wrongfully decided Sixth Circuit case that overturned an Ohio school board pronoun policy.

Max de fakkelman moest vandaag voor de rechter verschijnen maar hij laat verstek gaan waar rechters niet van houden. In plaats van te verschijnen heeft ie een half uur lang een grote bek in een wappie podcast. Hoop dat de tegenpartij en de rechtbank meekijken

Ik snap dat Diederik Samsom graag zijn prestaties in Brussel voor het voetlicht wil brengen en dat is zijn goed recht. Leidt alleen wel tot een wat gekleurd narratief. (Althans in dit eerste hoofdstuk.) De werkelijke groene supermacht, dat is China. Europa sukkelt daar achteraan. 1/2

Let’s be clear: @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social and Labour own this cruelty Trans+ children and teenagers are being harmed by a Health Secretary who could stop it all tomorrow But every day Streeting refuses to end his anti-Trans+ crusade, he makes a deliberate choice to let his cruelty continue

We're disappointed to see Ben Barres's powerful book "The Autobiography of a Transgender Scientist" among the ~400 titles removed from the Naval Academy Library. Needless to say, we're proud to have published his book and will keep it — and his memory — alive.

Musk thinks this version of the future is what people really want—fake content that caters to your desires—because he's so detached from humanity. As he told Joe Rogan: "Most of what people consume in five or six years, maybe sooner than that, will be just AI-generated content. So music, videos..."

I know people think Musk only bought Twitter to help the rise of fascism. While that’s important, I still think it’s secondary to his primary goal, which was to own the place where his fans praise him. With AI, Musk’s use of the platform for love and validation is only getting more transparent.

It’s so good to see that they aren’t pulling *any* punches

“Fix your hearts or die” is far too radical a catchphrase for moderate liberals to be using as a political slogan. “Fix your hearts or die” is a demand—a demand—for radical perspective shift. It is not a rallying cry for incrementalism or “less deportations than now, but still some deportations”

De rechtstaat wordt gesloopt door een klompenfascist die larpt dat hij minister is. Ook zonder Wilders in de regering gaat de Orbánisering van Nederland op volle snelheid door.
