US FTC claiming Apple News has ‘leftwing bias’ is just absurd. I tried it, and it threw transphobic propaganda at me. When I asked support how to block that, they offered no useful solutions. The USA just wants to block anything but fascist propaganda in media.

There’s a lot to criticise about medical R&D, but this smacks of reflexive anti-vax ideology. Flu is a deadly disease. How many people have to die before science, not a political cult, drives public health decisions in the USA?

SCOOP: The Department of Health and Human Services has been using the term “sex-rejecting procedures” to describe gender-affirming care for transgender and nonbinary individuals. The term is not clinical or medical. It comes from a Christian Right group. www.importantcontext.news/p/hhs-is-usi...

Professor Louis Appleby covered up a policy which killed trans children so that the British government could kill some more through neglect and lack of care.

My roommate bought some cheap bourbon so I introduced them to the hot toddy.

That is some serious resting cat face

Someone here is watching a Tamers video. The only thing I can think every time I see one—other than “whatttt?!?????” and “whyyyyy??????”—is that Tamers is the Picasso of butts. Those are some seriously cubist MS Paint butts. I don’t understand.

To me, it smacks of the conservative mindset: girls and women (of any age) are prey that society stocks itself with for men’s hunting pleasure. The younger the game, the better the trophy in their eyes. It’s particularly gross that conservative women endorse this crap.

Trans people were the proving grounds to normalize the made up term "biological sex"to roll back decades of progress on gender equality. When you get bioessentialist language, suddenly everything from gender roles to marriage becomes an argument about "biology." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Part of the obvious motivation for the spate of employers pushing A”I” text synthesis on employers is an obvious hope that with enough use, someone will finally find a compelling use that will make the investment worthwhile. Investors are desperate to find any hope that this is not a money pit.

This Bruce anti-ICE anthem is gonna leave a mark:

I listened to this, got to the end and immediately jumped back to the beginning. Everyone should listen to this imo

After loads and loads of “mainstream”-media profiles of Trump voters, but mainstream-media profiles like this of humans that ICE is targeting remain very rare. Independent media is doing better and I’d rather share that, but it is good that human stories are being shared to a wider audience.

Abolish ICE Abolish the police Bodily autonomy for all No profit from rent Gender equity Racial equity No borders Technology under users’ control Don’t stop until we get a world that’s for all of us

Ignorance is power. www.science.org/content/arti...

Perhaps now American voters can see Trump literally wants to kill them that a calculated death toll from this might get through.

I thought about this a lot when we were all pushing to get kilmar abrego garcia released. I'm glad we got him back but literally NO ONE should be sent to CECOT. They should have ALL been brought back. Never accept an inch. Never accept their framing. Bring everyone back and abolish DHS.

The entire administration's position 48 hours ago was that ICE had the right to commit extrajudicial murder and they had the right to lie about it. Hegseth explicitly said ICE was more important than the entire state of Minnesota. Throwing their shock troops under the bus is a sign of weakness.

Holy shit they're scared Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

The disparities in these numbers are fucking terrible. A quantification of how much more valuable a white and then American life is than an immigrant POC. Links to fundraisers in thread. bsky.app/profile/last...

Graham Linehan proves the point that trans liberationists have been saying from the start: If you'll permit dehumanising and stripping the rights of trans people, you will dehumanise and strip the rights of anyone on a long enough timeline.

I have a weird imagination. The subject of Saint Bernards was brought up, so my had came up with a sign that features a neon orange outline figure of a Saint Bernard with its barrel and the phrase ‘service dog soon’

I think about this post a lot

just gonna throw out a quick reminder that in America police kill a yearly average of 3 civilians per day, routinely in situations very similar to these ICE killings, and decades of explicit support for police impunity by US politicians is why ICE feels theyre able to get away with this right now

Exactly. This isn’t just a forum troll doctoring a photo for the lols, however bad that would be. This is a fascist government’s propaganda ministry lying to us in an attempt to make us all its mental prisoners. The US government has got to go.

No one needed a new reason to avoid ShatGPT, but it provided one anyway.

Our initial analysis is up. The video footage appears to show that the gun was taken away from the man before he was shot. He was UNARMED before any of the shots were fired.

This is who ICE murdered. A VA nurse who dedicated his life to helping critically ill veterans.

Me: C’mon, can you name a politician more likely to be discovered violating a butter sculpture than Ted Cruz? Friend: JD Vance?

The speed at which they got this picture to a fox news reporter means this was entirely about creating the narrative they want. The truth no longer matters, just being able to set the narrative. This post sums up the strategy. bsky.app/profile/bryn...

At the very least, no-one working for ICE now should ever (a) be armed, even as a private citizen, or (b) be in a position of power over others. They’ve proven their unfitness.

Lock them into Arkham, they are dangerous sociopaths

i do genuinely think we need to jail every single person currently working for ICE

Why is no one ever gruntled?!?

Solidarity to Minnesota. Shut. It. All. Down.

National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation. Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.

To say that the Republicans killed democracy is to falsely imply that the USA ever had it. What they’ve killed is vestiges, pretense, and hope that these would turn into something more real. If we want democracy, we’ve got to build it for ourselves.

Get rid of Trump or the world burns.

Trump is going for the appearance of doing something good with this EO on investors owning single-family homes. But does anyone believe it will have teeth? If you really want to make housing affordable, change the tax code so rent is not profitable and McMansions are deprioritized.

Mad mobster, more like A king wants to build something. The combover criminal just wants his.

I really don't think the people doing politics, and this ranges from the level of Senators and governors down to like the people following elections on social media, understand that the country that existed a year ago simply does not exist anymore. It is not coming Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

What if Harbor Freight advertised sex toys? “4.5A variable-speed mains-powered fanny hammer with detachable comfort grip …”

Grifters gonna grift

The cheerleaders of anti-trans genocide are so tediously illogical. Even if trans women were at a massive disadvantage compared to cis women, eventually a trans woman would win something. But McDishonest knows an actual statistical analysis doesn’t support her genocide, so an obvious fallacy it is.

Wild crystal ball prediction for 2026: the Europeans come up with their own bank clearinghouse system and much of the world switches to it in lieu of the US systems because Europe is perceived as more stable. I wouldn’t bet more than 1 yen on it, but hey.

If anyone was still pretending this isn’t just about excluding trans kids from public life, the Trump administration just opened a Title IX investigation into a Maine school district because a trans student is on a *co-ed* cheerleading squad.

You mean the orange insurrectionist lied again? Shocked Pikachu face!
