"Democrats aren't abandoning trans people! Maybe just one or two..." Here's every Democrat who's either voted to strip human rights away from trans people and/or has campaigned on anti-trans propaganda in the last year.
Today, and every day, we stand with the Somali community.
Dr Angela Collier (she's on BlueSky too) lays it out "And when you release all of that to a chatbox, it's like you don't even care about doing your job. It's like you don't understand the point of teaching a course. …You have lost the social contract." www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pqF... #aifraud

The Swords to Plowshares Act, the final undoing of Christian white nationalist theocracy. (Maybe we don’t call it that actually but come on)
Defund and abolish ICE. Melt down their weapons and shift its budget to social services and affordable housing. Ban everyone who led or worked for ICE from any government job. Corporate death penalty for the companies that aided them. Citizenship to all of its victims, should they want it.
“It is clear that there is an intent to destroy the Palestinians in Gaza through acts that meet the criteria set forth in the Genocide Convention,” Pillay said upon the release of the report.

This entrepreneur who has posted 79,000 tweets has no time to set his fantasy football lineup, so he has an AI agent run his team for him. defector.com/nic-carter-f...
Is This Guy Who Uses AI To Run His Fantasy Football Team The Biggest Loser In The World? | Defector
Why does anyone play fantasy football? This is not a trick question, although it’s also not particularly difficult to answer. Perhaps they do it for money, or they enjoy football, or they want a…

People forget that J6 was successful. Everyone who participated was let out of jail and the guy who perpetrated it is President again. There were no consequences. They have plenty of incentive to do a much bigger and worse version.

Markwayne Mullin on ICE shooting a man while his 5-year-old child was in the backseat: "I'll say this about the 5-year-old child. As a father of six, I would never endanger my kids."
Fearing likely disbarment proceedings, federal prosecutors involved in the Broadview Six case attempt to mask their names and deny involvement in the case... like rats scurrying off a sinking ship.
Feds appear to hide name of government lawyer in new 'Broadview Six' court filing
The move is particularly striking in the politically charged "Broadview Six" case, in which U.S. Attorney Andrew Boutros' office has already been accused of a cover-up. Even in the Chicago prosecution...

Trump's overtly racist refugee policy - the only refugees he has allowed in, over the past year, are white South Africans - deserves more public attention than it's been getting.
“The Afrikaner policy is illuminating, because it proves the catch-22 facing nonwhite immigrants: If you are poor, you are a moocher, and if you are gainfully employed, you are taking a job from a hardworking American. The only way to be a good immigrant is to be white and Christian.”
