This response should be instant removal from his position. It is not just tone deaf, it tone deaf to the degree that it paints the company itself in a bad light. If the standard for toxicity is wide enough to include that statement than there is no standard at all.

Are they threatening trans users directly? No. Trans folks in the US have been targeted repeatedly. That's awful and you have my sympathy. Within the context of a single post we wouldn't consider it a direct threat or targeting a protected category. Ie send trans folks to concentration camps.

Runa in Zero Company being Vic Michaelis is so good. The performance really is just them, it makes me think everything might devolve into a bit at any moment.

J. K Rowling is the grand dragon of the KKK but for terfs.

They are trying to slander an American hero for propaganda.

Tuberville: "I'll be the governor of Alabama and I promise you we will find out if there's a possibility that we can bring him to Alabama to put him in front of a court and a jury to see if we can put this guy in prison. He killed millions of people, folks."

it's even dumber than you think

Trump: "President Trump will be making a Speech to the Nation on Thursday evening, at 9 P.M. Eastern. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"

We need to send these ICE murders to trial and ensure that these trigger happy monsters face the maximum penalties for their crimes. Large scale trials to assess the many crimes of everybody from the ground forces right up to the president.

Amnesty International put out a major report documenting the influence of UK based anti trans gender critical organizations and their funding. Within hours, GC groups threatened defamation lawsuits and Amnesty was forced to pull it down. Proving the point they're anti rights. Anyways, here it is.

IT'S UP! Here's the article about the rain-soaked disaster that was July 4th in Washington, including all the videos the Internet wouldn't let me upload and some stories that didn't make the thread. Please check it out if you would like to!

Phoebe Bridgers being back with new music is what this sad girl summer needed.

Just remembering that ICE agent Jonathan Ross murdered Renee Good.

People getting arrested for being near the reflecting pool has the same feeling as Andor getting arrested for walking to the store. Art truly imitates life.

They got clapped so hard in Chicago on conspiracy nonsense charges and they want to come back for more?

Oh, so they have NOTHING nothing

I got to the office today having forgotten my work ID, my wallet, and my headphones. I can only laugh at it.

Season 1 Andor is so good. "Remember that the frontier of the rebellion is everywhere and even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward." I am shocked they could make this, in 2026 it is ever more relevant.

Its me, the leftist transgender member of antifa.

The new Trump administration counterterrorism strategy document is not getting nearly enough attention. The document explicitly lists “left-wing extremists,” people with “radically pro-transgender” ideologies, and “anti-fascists” alongside ISIS and cartels as top national security threats. 1/

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

I came home to my condo roof leaking water from the failed membrane roof again. Three weeks on and the management hasn't acted to fix it and they wont pay for the ever growing damage caused by that failure.

Look, the NYT lying about trans issues again. Fun times as our nation edges closer and closer to making being trans a crime.

The New York Times’s body of reporting on the American Medical Association’s stance on gender-related care for minors is accurate and factual, and remains so despite the recent statement from the Chair of the A.M.A. Board, which contradicts the A.M.A.’s own statements. www.nytco.com/press/fact-c...

i know you know i am a shill for the ann arbor local radio station, WCBN. i would like to take this time to shout out an hour from last night's broadcast, the leisure experiment, which ran an hour of corporate musicals written for industry trade shows about: brown-forman bourbon, ford cars, XEROX

Sorry, I already paid my $1.05

Sen. Roger Marshall on high gas prices: "Freedom is not free. Americans are gonna have to make some sacrifices."

This will kill people. We need to keep a tally of those who die as a result of these illegal and outrageous actions. They are victims of the oppressor just as much as those murdered in the street. We need enduring justice that is impossible in our current political system.

JD Vance: "We're announcing today that we have decided to temporarily halt certain amounts of Medicaid funding that is going to the state of Minnesota in order to ensure that the state of Minnesota takes its obligations seriously to be good stewards of the American people's tax money."

THIS. They’re in the South Metro now, hitting Carver County & Minneapolis suburbs HARD. NOTHING HAS CHANGED. They’re detaining observers because ICE & CBP believe the real problem is people filming them, not that ICE & CBP is committing domestic terror. Less footage = less national news coverage.

Will Stancil@whstancil.bsky.social · 8mo ago

By the way, for those of you not in MN: Homan’s strategy was to withdraw some agents, so it felt like we were in the denouement of the crisis, and then escalate hard against observers. They’re being incredibly aggressive with observers now. National media may not want to check out just yet

The celebrities all came out for the big premiere.

One thing that saddens me is that the records of the work being done in Minneapolis will be lost to disappearing signal chats. I understand why it is necessary. This is a moment that will be studied and the stories we tell matter. Take notes, write down how you feel, talk to people.

"We will kill you for opposing us" is what I hear here.

Patel: "What I'm asking people to do on the ground in MN is, why would you bring a firearm in a situation that is so volatile right now? Where so many people are coordinating to attack & expose federal law enforcement officers? That is just not smart. It is just not going to lead to a good scenario"

Update: In the evidence preservation lawsuit, the current Civil Chief at the Minnesota U.S. Attorney's Office (who appears to be Ana Voss, based on the letter), refused to accept email service of the lawsuit last night and then refused to accept in-person service until Monday. Ridiculous behavior.
