In 1945, the US Army put out a training manual intended to help rank and file soldiers spot incipient fascism in the US. One of the telltale signs that one was dealing with a fascist was that they called everyone to their left "a communist." bsky.app/profile/seth...

Cis people, how many times have you been asked to describe how you masturbate, and what you think about when you do, to access healthcare on the NHS?

Remember. We know these drugs are safe. There is no need to do any of this.

The “Pathways” trial is, IMO on more than one level, a thoroughly unethical piece of “research” to be carrying out on children, especially children who are part of a marginalised minority.

I worked really hard to give my costume a refresh. The grim reaper Selene appears in the world of the living to find any wayward spirits who might have escaped on Halloween night. Mask is an original by @missmonster.bsky.social Photos by my lovely @loreweaver.bsky.social

without this perspective, it really looked like it just just said "fuck it" and went up a sheer cliff after Pat for no reason. instead, it went up a climbable slope and went after Pat for no reason😆

Yeah I think not only is there an ethical and moral distinction here, something like...DLSS is a great example of something that isn't the plagiarism machine. Well, technically it is, but it's the game plagiarizing it's own frames, for itself. Not the same.

NYT: “Epstein emails a distraction from the Republican shutdown victory” WSJ: “We estimate the Epstein files to be 67% Trump by weight”

Jon Stewart used to be the patron saint of normie moderate center-left democrats and now he's calling Chuck Schumer a liar who needs to be removed. Which is not surprising if you've followed him lately but still striking from the Rally to Restore Sanity Guy.

This is incredible

Sheldon remind me when did Chuck Schumer fight united with the Democratic nominee for mayor of New York

MORE DOCUMENTS obtained by Oversight’s subpoena of Jeffrey Epstein’s estate include communications between Epstein and Steve Bannon, Larry Summers, and others. Take a look: oversightdemocrats.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

One of the GOP's sweatier Epstein defenses has been "if they had good stuff they'd have used it when Biden was president." But the growing awareness that Garland spiked anything that could look political explains this!

I just googled this man like 'ew who tf is this Tom Barrack guy' and the answer is the sitting, Donald Trump-appointed U.S. Ambassador to Turkey

Like I dunno, maybe the reason it took a lady to break open the story of all the men protecting the dude trafficking underage girls is because the male journos were all emailing him making jokes about it?

The notion abusers need to resort to conspiracies and subterfuge is more comforting than the truth that many people will readily look the other way when confronted with sexual violence if doing otherwise would even slightly inconvenience them

Lutnick is the current Secretary of Commerce and Epstein sent this email three months before he died.

I used to think it was an exaggeration to say the times foisted Trump on is on purpose. Like, I thought that they just felt it was their job to scold libs and thought Hillary had it in the bag. I am so much less sure it's an exaggeration now.

thank god woke is coming back

the angry base has been right and the savvy "calm down" caucus has been wrong every step of the way for the last 10 years

Since the olympics are being held in LA, this policy would violate state civil rights law and I hope trans and intersex athletes challenge such a policy.

What this policy will do is wreak havoc on intersex women who will have had no idea they were intersex until they are forced to undergo an invasive DNA test. They will be disqualified and have their entire lives upended. Athletes have completed suicide over this.

The International Olympic Committee is set to ban trans and intersex women from competition. This is despite the fact that for 20 years, the IOC has allowed trans athletes to compete and only 1 has ever competed and none have ever won a medal. www.the-independent.com/sport/olympi...

So after all of this, the Dems got a deal that is just a promise of a vote on ACA subsidies in December that isn't guaranteed to pass. Absolute chickenshit stuff from senate Democrats. They couldn't even get the thing they were asking for.

twitter being bought and turned into a propaganda machine for fascism, which is directly pumped into every journalist in the world's brain, is one of the worst things to happen in the last few years. we might not survive it.

I particularly hate the suggestion there's some sort of grand bargain in which trans rights are given up in exchange for _______. No one is offering such a thing. No one would change their vote to Dems after that. The argument exists solely to justify throwing trans people under the bus.

Everyone says calls your senators and you absolutely should but my senator, Chuck Schumer, always shuts down his phone lines and voicemail when he pulls shit like this.

If they do this—if they cave with nothing—it will be a historic blunder. It will hand Trump a major win and embolden/allow him to further consolidate power. It’s unconscionable political malpractice.

Democratic leaders always act like they’re losing. Even after millions of voters turn out and give them a mandate to do something. They’d rather not.

DNC Vice Chair calls Chuck Schumer's shutdown deal a "mistake"

“I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time.” aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...

The flip side of this of course is the extraordinary deflating impotence of standing for nothing.

Schumer and the Dems are about to teach Trump the lesson that they’ll cave whenever he abuses power to sufficiently hurt people.

Let me get this right… a sufficient number Senate Democrats appear to be willing to reopen government to alleviate air travel for upper & upper-middle income people at the expense of access to healthcare for lower income people. Yes?

Democrats ran the table on Tuesday at state and local levels, getting not just its base excited but “normies” fed up over the last 10mo, so of course national Democrats want to do everything to pop the air in the balloon.

What if instead we give donald more lunch money

You don't hate Rockstar enough, once again circumstances prove that the negative stories about them aren't exaggerated, but watered down. gtaforums.com/topic/100418... Boeing of gaming companies.

Even the corporatist Hill reporters are gobsmacked by how complete @schumer.senate.gov's collapse is: "And this does absolutely zero on Obamacare. The most Democrats get is a Senate vote. After 40 days."

Republicans are starting to talk about HSAs again so I want everyone to be super clear what a non-solution HSAs are. They work for a very limited range of people. If you have under $100/mo health costs, or tens of thousands of dollars a year, they can work. Have moderate ongoing costs? You're fucked

This is the stupidest idea, and I swear to Christ if @schumer.senate.gov is that big a fool, he deserves every piece of hate and rage aimed at his party, and I hoe to see his Islamophobic ass primaried into obscurity next to Cuomo.
