The rapid rise of 'gender critical' organisations and high volume of anti-trans media coverage has been mapped for the first time by @amnestyuk.bsky.social 

A PhD student at Stanford noticed her classmates were asking Al to write their breakup texts. So she ran a study. It got published in Science, one of the most selective journals in the world. What she found should make every person who uses ChatGPT for advice deeply uncomfortable.

Memphis is “under full-blown occupation” by ICE. Here’s why you may not know that.

Obviously, people are going to do what they want, but I don't think sharing the rantings of the white supremacist teenagers that shot up the Muslim day school is a good idea. Let their horrible, incoherent ideas die with them.

Angela Morley helped John Williams make his scores a reality, orchestrating on Star Wars, Superman, E.T., Home Alone, Hook - but her name is all too often forgotten www.wearequeeraf.com/from-star-wa...

Rep. Ogles: "Muslims don’t belong in American society," Rep. Fine on "mainstream Muslims": "I think you should destroy them first" Sen. Tuberville: "The enemy is inside the gates". Rep. Roy posted "No more Muslims" on his social media. None of them censured by Democrats. No penalty.

Mamdani: I cannot help but think of the words of our 40th president, Ronald Reagan. He famously said, “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are 'I'm from the govt & I'm here to help'" I think nine more terrifying words are actually, "I worked all day and can't feed my family"

Everyone who's shrieking 'nuclear annihilation isn't a bargaining chip!' are willfully or ignorantly ignoring the entire Cold War. Like, yes, it IS a bargaining chip. Always has been.

There’s an Ebola outbreak in Congo that WHO just declared a “public health emergency.” USAID would normally help. But It’s been killed. CDC would help too, but it’s been cut Don’t worry though. The admin is engaged in Congo. It just deported immigrants there. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/17/w...

oh my holy bananas where do they find these people www.cnn.com/2026/05/15/p...

Thousands are marching in Selma calling for a full restoration of the voting rights act.

“I asked ChatGPT” well I listened to the ocean tumbling the rocks and it said you should use your brain or give it to a kid who will

There's a major civil rights protest taking place in Selma, Alabama, right now in response to the SCOTUS decision that weakened the Voting Rights Act and the ongoing attack on Black Americans’ political power (video: defiancedispatch/IG)

"If she has her own house, what will she need me for?" I don't know, dude, maybe be cool and fun to be around and be happy for her success instead being whiny little sad-ass troll about it? www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

This is literally capitalism

🚨 URGENT: We are running out of time. There is an illegal plan moving forward right now to completely gut the US Forest Service. Don't scroll past this—it takes exactly 30 seconds to send a letter to your representatives. Click here and do it now:

RFK Jr. showing his eugenicist beliefs. Here he is today at The City Club in Cleveland: "The average American who died from COVID had 3.8 chronic diseases. So what was really killing them? It was almost impossible for COVID to kill a healthy person. It was killing people who were already sick."

...he said, while shitting into a leaky diaper that probably had the Presidential Seal on the ass.

Alabama House votes 75-29 (on party lines) to allow new primary elections if the courts allow the use of congressional and legislative maps previously ruled discriminatory. Protestors leaving the gallery chant “Vote Them Out” and sing “Ain’t Nobody Going To Turn Me Around.”

Kaine puts out a statement saying "If the Virginia Supreme Court had legitimate concerns about this referendum, the time to stop it would have been before three million Virginians cast their ballots."

There it is

Whaley is brave as FUCK, and Liberati is a weak little bitch.

🗣️ REP. @justinjpearson.bsky.social : “GUILTY, GUILTY, GUILTY… we convict the Tennessee general assembly of exploiting Black people and attempting to dilute Black political power. Governor Lee is guilty. Cameron Sexton is guilty. White supremacy is guilty.” #Jimcrow #WeThePeople

'An HHS spokesperson did not respond to questions but in an email blamed the administration of former President Joe Biden for the rise in parents rejecting vitamin K shots.' OF COURSE THEY FUCKING DID

Ye gods, these broad brushes are just tiresome.

Let’s all post it and see if they indict all of us.

Lucille Ball--actress, comedian, producer & film-studio executiver--died #OTD in 1989. In 1962, she bought out Desi Arnaz's interest in Desilu Productions & became the 1st woman to own & run a major TV studio. Desilu produced many popular TV series including Mission: Impossible & #StarTrek. #legend

The overwhelming majority of the victims of political violence in this country don't have a secret service detail to protect them, and the majority of that violence is caused by the guy who does.

Remember how less than three weeks ago the president threatened to kill an entire civilization
