It is not blood libel to state accurately who is being killed and by whom. If the IDF and its supporters do not want its reputation linked to the slaughter of more than 16,000 babies and children, I would suggest they stop killing babies and children.

they are trying to outlaw being transgender in this country and this is just the first step. they were never going to stop at sports. they weren’t going to stop at bathrooms. they want a trans genocide. it is so important to spread awareness of this

Good.

A VERY important point -- this bill is not final, not at all. It will now go to the Senate. If the Senate makes changes to the bill (they likely will), it will go back to the House for another vote. The House passed it last night with ONE VOTE. We can stop this. We have to.

Went and I checked this, and Edwin's correct: On the left is text from the reconciliation bill "PROHIBITING FEDERAL MEDICAID AND CHIP FUNDING FOR GENDER TRANSITION PROCEDURES FOR MINORS" On the right is from the Manager's amendment that strikes the word "FOR MINORS."

It’s Mary Anning’s birthday, so time to share @katebeaton.bsky.social’s brilliant cartoon again.

the criticism that Dems put forth old and ailing politicians to their detriment is unquestionably true, but there’s a large contingent of the party dedicated to calling you a heartless scumbag if you point it out

Fine. I will be the Joe Rogan of the left. Step one: the DNC pays me 400,000 USD annually. Step two: I make Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer eat bugs on a game show and smoke weed.

"Democrats CAN'T eliminate the filibuster to get healthcare, voting rights, queer rights, minimum wage, pandemic relief, expand social safety nets, gun control, or anything else because if we do Republicans will abuse it when they get power!" —My Mentions for the past 20 years

I say without any irony or sarcasm: yes, thank you, we want parliamentary sabotage. Again, I'm 100% serious. It's one of the few things a minority party can do, and which Republicans themselves did. It's essential.

The current budget bill is an atrocity and out-of-touch leaders like Chuck Schumer laid the groundwork by voting for the CR. Appeasement and complicity do not work. When you bend the knee, they’ll break your leg.

i think it should be a bigger story that the president held a meeting with a foreign head of state where he ranted about the most gutter white supremacist propaganda you can find on the internet

the media wants you to believe luigi was the murderer here btw

Democrats dont wanna face the fact that until this genocide stops, you’re gonna KEEP losing. The young ones coming up don’t give a FUCK if it all burns down. They’re saddled in debt, unemployed, and hate you old motherfuckers. You have no integrity and you’re killing the planet. They DONT care.

“If I were a science journalist writing an article about a supposedly shocking development like this, I would email some experts and check to see if it’s for real. But plenty of science journalists don’t bother with that anymore: they just believe the press releases.”

This is the "offending" page. Denying facts don't make them go away. Hiding facts don't make them untrue. This is all about love.

Yeah no, with the first one you had the (slimmest) excuse of not knowing. if you buy this one,you wilfully fund a trans genocide through rowling… bitch literally funded the removal of our rights in public daylight and bragged about it.

International law is a joke tbh- letting this occur without anyone stepping in is so shameful

This is so fucking good

at first you think "ah the dog is passively having fun" and then you realize the dog knows how to steer the skateboard and THEN you learn the dog knows how to PROPEL the skateboard

bigot: *does and says something awful* the comments: wow jeez her face is shit and she's wide ?????? what in the fuck lmao?????? please i beg you. stop talking about people's appearances as if they are in any fucking way relevant to any fucking thing at all. thank you

2 opportunities: 1. dems, on some issues, still respond to constituent pressure. they're scared they'll get pushed away from the money/power faucet. 2. some of the GOP thinks these bills are overreach & can be used to suppress the kind of free speech they like. that makes them vulnerable too.🧵

all 3 bills work together. none can be allowed to pass. KOSA, IODA, & SCREEN are all gifts to fascists. that much should be obvious, but it's either not or the parties have the same goal. last year, KOSA passed the senate 91-3 & the only D "no" vote was ron wyden. it'll take a lot to stop these.🧵

Saw a thing on tiktok where someone said: "The single-sex bathroom argument is as antifeminist as it gets. It's a total surrender to patriarchy, because it assumes that men not only cannot control themselves around women, they shouldn't even bother to try." And holy shit that's fire.

It went on to say that that's the root of why TERFy stuff is so sad and doomed: it assumes that patriarchy is an inevitable consequence of biological destiny, and as a result, equality is impossible. So, regardless of trans peoples' existence or non-existence, TERFism is fundamentally antifeminist.

BREAKING: Labour will formally recognise trans women as ‘men’ tomorrow. It means trans women will be banned from all women shortlists and all Labour women’s groups. Revolting. The party’s relationship with LGBT+ is over.

The rise of AI and dumbass people LEAPING at the chance to use it to avoid having to think ever has made me want to go out of my way to use my brain and learn more than anything else has on this entire planet. Fuck AI and fuck people who use AI. USE YOUR OWN BRAINS.

me: they think it should be illegal to have black people in positions of influence savvy, sophisticated pundits: don't be hysterical the trump administration:

nothing like living through this present moment to blow a hole in that "he was a man of his time" apologia for respected enslavers treating human beings this way is abominable & anyone who fails to see it is morally broken. you don't have to see it in person. you don't have to have one friend.

Just a perfect sign of Schumer's incompetence. As the OP notes, there's no need to do this. The law is already on Democrats' side. And when this bill inevitably fails in a GOP-led Congress, it will then seem to many like the Qatari gift is perfectly legal. Congress didn't outlaw it, right?

I wonder how many lies it will take before the press stops giving official statements by Trump and his cronies the presumption of truth. Days of stories spreading their lies around before the real story emerges. This happens over and over and over again:

should be basic and yet

The bizarre media focus on Biden’s mental acuity 5 months after he left office seems to me to be a GLOWING red flag that major media outlets have been completely compromised by trump. There is absolutely no reason whatsoever they’re talking about it otherwise.

Like we're out here being all "Biden wasn't aggressive enough about student loans and he directly aided a genocide and refused to acknowledge rising cost of living" and the press is like "Huh what yeah fuck Biden his press people never leaked or gave us exclusives what an asshole"

Jesus Christ, they just *will not* let this go. The fucking press is still so goddam aggrieved that Biden was boring and wouldn't leak to them and wouldn't give them access to the point they're POUTING OVER THE MAN'S CANCER ANNOUNCEMENT RAINING ON ALL THEIR FUN. I can't even with these freaks.

The hysteria when you say, “nah I’m good” on all the chat bots is how you know they’re in the grips of roulette fever. You know the guy at a casino, shaking at 2 am, telling you how dumb you are not to get in on this?

I don’t even know when I would even use ChatGPT. For what? There is nothing so hard to write that I would throw my hands up and let a robot do it. Just write. Be okay with some writing being hard, maybe bland, but even bland is human and honest.
