"Yes, we definitely want that [progresive reputation] to change. It is already changing.." And BSky will start monetizing this year. New features that no one asked for are to support these goals. People need to write down their red lines now. Wars, crumbling democracy, genocides. "More sports."

actually you don’t have to be able to geolocate someone to care about your tax dollars funding the murder of their babies. condescending pricks like this will never reflect on why voters find their smug shite so offputting. anyone serious about politics should ignore them

The Portland City Council on Thursday evening moved toward approving a non-binding term sheet for the Moda Center renovation that would propose the city contribute $120 million for renovation costs in exchange for a lease keeping the Trail Blazers in town for at least 20 years.

to add: The west is going to burn, fire has been here longer than the USA has, many Indigenous land management practices work alongside fire. Rather than focusing on who started a fire, we need to work out how to live with fire and how the city became a tinderbox and how to help people right now.

James Stout@jamesstout.bsky.social · 2w ago

Just wanna caution everyone posting about the Spokane fires that an arrest is not a conviction and if we look at LA they haven’t been able to convict that guy.

still trying to wrap my head around the fact that out-of-towners threw a bigotry party at a facility that is demanding $120 million from the city, and my friend got thrown out for trying to make it clear that hate has no home in Portland with a t-shirt that deliberately didn't cross into profanity

this is also why you can't appease the right on this issue. bans on trans people in sports are the camel's nose under the tent for the entire suite of right-wing gender politics, including but not limited to bans on gay marriage, abortion, and birth control

Jay Willis@jaywillis.net · 4w ago

I found this quote from Riley Gaines to be really striking. Straight-up conceding that the purpose of trans sports bans is to normalize transphobia, and to give "ordinary" people "more cover" expressing it in public. ballsandstrikes.substack.com/p/anti-trans...

this is the closest ICE has ever come to saying "yeah we just murdered a guy"

David J. Bier@davidjbier.bsky.social · last mo.

WHOA DHS does not say that the agent feared for his life… just the vague concern for “public safety.” So he killed him just because he did not want him in America, not because of any specific threat to agents?

not only did they hand over the info, they gave Iranian Interest Section employees access to the people they had detained, without those people's consent. They did this while Iran killed its own citizens in January, and while they bombed Iran in 2025 and 2026.

Thomas Paine is my favorite founding father. He was famously abolitionist and one of the earliest voices to point out the hypocrisy of fighting for independence while keeping slaves. He also firmly believed that keeping any friendship which required compromising your morals made you a bad person.

The Rude Pundit@rudepundit.bsky.social · last mo.

The founder we should talk more about is Thomas Paine, who will fuck your shit up every time. Here he is in The Rights of Man just ripping into any ideas of "originalism" and that kind of garbage.

it also pisses me off bcos terfs are orders of magnitude worse when it comes to dogpiling and abuse. yet nobody ever says 'wow, we should support trans ppl bcos terfs are so annoying'.

It’s always interesting when I get to explain to a cis person that the current anti-trans hysteria is not only 100% astroturfed, it’s 180° opposite of the initial popular reaction to public medical transition. People thought it was cool! Look what modern medicine can do! She’s a bombshell!

Writing "Don't worry about it" on tax form@gonebabygone.bsky.social · 2mo ago

It's easy to forget that the current anti-trans moral panic, for instance, is only four or five years old. That doesn't mean it's not ruining real people's lives and it won't take a while to fix, but it's completely artificial and brand new because, ironically enough, it's not natural.

Liz Soto and Savanna Batten are 2 of those sentenced to 50 years in prison for Prairieland. I visited them in a north Texas jail—11 months into their incarceration over a July 4 noise demo—to meet the Trump admin’s “Antifa terrorists”. from behind glass, Soto said, “They didn’t like my book club.”

No one should mistake that not only did the vast majority of these defendants do *nothing but show up to a protest* but several are trans women who will now spend the rest of their lives being tortured by the state. This was targeted. This was a show trial.

“This can happen to you, and if they can do it to you, they will.” From @stevanzetti.bsky.social in March: The convictions of the Prairieland activists puts everyone's right to protest at risk. Today, they were sentenced to 50+ years in prison.
