NEW: Aurora Police say an ICE detention center employee shot a protester last night. She is expected to survive. 42-year-old Brandon Booth, who works for the ICE contractor GEO Group, is being held on suspicion of attempted second degree murder and other charges.

Could you maybe not compare my medical care to the deranged, and not to mention *forced* (the opposite of affirming) scheme this lunatic is using to attempt to compensate for his own various inadequacies? It may seem like a “gotcha”, but it’s at the expense of people like me.

as a trans woman, can you please not

This is exactly right. This stuff doesn't scale well. It works fine for individual use cases, natural language search, assisting in research, small coding tasks, etc. It can't replace workers and SV threw a trillion at it like it would.

Ten years ago in the UK, even conservative MPs were supportive of self ID and warned about the dangers of trans bathroom bans in the US. Now a center left labour government is implementing a nationwide bathroom ban by fiat on August 5th without even so much as a vote.

You know, Meta, there is no ad you can create that will make me think your creepy glass are a good thing.

he needs to be ousted as leader immediately

Trans people are having to create a modern day green book just to be able to use the bathroom in Idaho. This is where we're at. www.advocate.com/politics/sta...

Making me watch a fucking AI generated commercial for some stupid bullshit should be illegal.

Personally I would just ban all online betting. It is a cancer on society.

centrists love to be like “rapists are just as bad as a muslim”

donald trump is literally a court proven rapist

looks like ICE agents got the day off today

Oh so he does know what a doctor looks like

another radical DSA candidate easily winning

broken system designed to target and terrorize the current political scapegoat. we have to completely scrap the current supreme court. trans rights will prevail, we’ll keep playing sports, we will win

absolutely huge

Oh, they really do want to be Labour. Because that turned out so well for Starmer.

tech companies love to be like “here’s out 20 billion dollar product that no one wants to buy”

centrists love to be like “when are you socialists going to win regions and states that we centrists currently also don’t win”

it is incredibly funny how centrist democrats and republicans are both panicking in the exact same ways right now

DSA has won a handful of national elections and the democratic party establishment are already providing cover for the far right to start cracking down on the left

fuck israel

oh no they’re going to start calling democrats the same thing they’ve been calling democrats for 20 years now

the supreme court is the enforcement arm of the far right oligarchy

“adult human female” being the TERF rallying cry is one of the strangest things to me because it just reminds me of how cattle farmers refer to their livestock

>becomes prime minister >wins largest majority seen in labour history >pivots the party hard right, cracks down on palestinian protestors and privacy rights >completely destroys the labour party >resigns what was bro doing any of this for

liberals when they see a meteor barreling straight towards earth:

if a democrat doesn’t support sending 20 billion dollars annually to israel centrist democrats will call them a “controversial candidate”

it's pretty on the nose for modern american life that a company that doesn't really do anything at all is on track to be the biggest company in america

iran probably has better plans with that money than trump ever did to be honest

its blackpilling that when you hit a certain point of wealth the economy becomes entirely fake and you gain more power than governments. something must be done

this is a complete societal failure, and something has to be done about this very soon

being transgender is amazing and beautiful, transitioning is one of the greatest choices you can ever make and i hope more people realize that its not dangerous or evil, but liberating

it continuously stuns me how rightwingers don't know how anything works at all on a systematic level so they assume nothing should be done about anything ever

well as long as he’s happy i’m sure it’ll be fine

prediction markets doing press and paying people to make society trust they’re accurate, then giving someone the trump admin has hailed as a “journalist” a paid sponsorship post to cast doubt on elections is horrifying. prediction markets need to be made illegal immediately

Yeah, just knowing "can we make the protestors look angrier" was requested is really the death knell for 60 Minutes' credibility, poisoned the well, taints everything going forward, so I can't imagine what those who choose to remain think they are 'saving'. They just get the taint on themselves.

we need even more of this, anti data center and anti ai politics is the most bipartisan issue in the US right now, the left needs to continue to be leaders here

its striking me that we don’t live in a normal economy anymore, we live in an economy entirely constructed around speculation now

whenever someone says they’re a free thinker that usually just means they’re very receptive to ideas that are radioactive to their brain that ends up completely cooking them

and as always death before detransition

radfems will look at you in the eye and tell you trans people are upholding the patriarchy and gender roles and then vote for republicans

They stole the internet’s knowledge and all the work that went into it and they want to sell it back to us for a fee. What a business model.

TERF ideology is really just “Two Dumbasses Telling Each Other ‘Exactlyyyy.’” Of course, that’s why the Worst People You’ve Ever Heard Of are spending billions of dollars to astroturf it

I fear Trump skipping his son's birthday to spend the weekend in DC -- something he normally isn't keen to do -- is a sign we should brace for him to do something crazy this weekend

Nothing makes you look guiltier than forcing the Justice Department to promise never to investigate your taxes or prosecute you for anything they might find

the average TERF origin story is indistinguishable from a psychological break from reality
