What El-Sayed has actually said about his views on Israel/Palestine (vs. what others claim he believes) is quite good, so here it is:

This is good news. Among its many horrors the SCREEN Act is an incredibly anti-trans piece of legislation, so it's good to see it fail.

SCREEN Act, which would have required mandatory age-verification for sites (like this) that allow "material harmful to minors" failed to pass out of committee after thousands and thousands of people called their Senators. More work ahead!

As immigration reporter for @daylightsdnews.bsky.social, I spend a lot of time listening. That means approaching people in a trauma-informed way to build trust, spending time in person observing people's lives and the government's actions. 1/8

Meta has made it repeatedly clear that one of their growth strategies is sexualizing kids. Mark Zuckerberg and his leadership team deserve to face personal liability for this, and the company deserves sanctions up to and including corporate dissolution

WIRED@wired.com · 4h ago

Over the last nine months, Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta has run dozens of paid ads that include explicit AI-generated child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and images of minors alongside sexually suggestive statements, according to details of the ads shared with WIRED.

A good friend of mine was a pulmonary ICU nurse in Brooklyn and the thing that made me realize how bad things were gonna get were her instagram stories that went from "wash your hands guys!" to "I saw three people die today" in like a week.

RFK Jr said these words today on national television "There were ICUs that were empty all over the country including in New York at the height (of the pandemic)" hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha You are a fucking idiot hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha <sobs silently>

Anti-abortion groups' latest strategy in their push to ban mifepristone is disguised as "advocacy": They claim that telehealth access to the pill enables abusers to force their partners to have an abortion.

The media's takeaway from an El-Sayed win is the same as it would have been from a Stevens win, and the same as it will be if El-Sayed wins the general, or if he loses it: everyone, no matter who they are, needs to take several steps to the right.

It's not "harder to determine". We have centuries of jurisprudence on whose fault it is when an object or machine causes harm.

As I said above, focusing on questions of liability might be fruitful in changing the incentives for behaviour through the system

British media trying to pull a Charlie Kirk over a dead racist pedophile wife-beater is just more proof that ruthlessly and brutally denazifying British news media is going to be important.

The total amount a UK political party can spend in a General election year across 650 candidates is half that - and this was a single candidate in a single primary.

No matter the margin the story is that Haley Stevens got $70M of support, more than $30M of it from a single organization, and still lost.

Went to go rewatch The Vast of Night, only to discover that they took it off Amazon Prime… the service that released it exclusively. So now it’s literally just not available anywhere. Good times.

For the past five months the only refugees the USA has accepted are white South Africans fleeing equality & safety meanwhile they are disappearing or strapping ankle monitors on any Haitian they can get ahold of. It needs to be understood how thoroughly connected these two things are.

I will forever admire you, @coribush.bsky.social. Thank you for your integrity. You're legitimately a hero for what you did saving people's homes during the height of COVID. You are an inspiration to me, Congresswoman, and I hope you know that.

You're in a bubble of the literate, the people who are able to process written language, and a dozen of the biggest sweatiest sex pest freaks the world has ever seen are using their vast resources and power to stomp this bubble into the ground.

And if an issue appears to be dominating politics out of nowhere despite not affecting the overwhelming majority of society, perhaps you should think about who decided to make this an issue, at whose expense, & why do they want you distracted by this?

If you're a cis person insisting that the prospect of trans children playing youth sports is not only "a problem" but in fact one of the biggest problems we currently face as a nation, I'd be happy to introduce you to literally a million other things that should be worrying you more.
