In the same way Mike Johnson's persona online is "sincere Christian"
MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com · 23h agoMike Johnson is backing a GOP candidate who called children “cum trophies” and made Nazi jokes. Confronted on CNN, Johnson’s excuse: “That was his persona online.”
We're being told that if we sacrifice the rights of some people, then the rest of us get to keep our rights. We all know that's some BS.
Abdul El-Sayed: "Weijia, with all due respect, this is the third time you've asked about a Twitch streamer ... their whole game is to make us fight culture wars so that we don't pay attention to the fact the president has made $2.2 billion ... "
In Massachusetts, we have a responsibility to protect the vulnerable and stand up for those who need it. We don’t throw trans kids under the bus for political points. We protect them—and all of our neighbors—because trans rights are human rights.
My opponent doesn’t have the experience necessary to protect Arizonans or uphold the rule of law. This week, a growing number of Arizona law enforcement leaders, sheriffs, retired police chiefs, US Attorneys, former AGs, and career prosecutors are announcing their support of my campaign.
Wait!! What?? The GOP Attorney General candidate in Arizona has only had license to practice law for 3 years??? And theGOP thinks that he could best represent the residents of Arizona and uphold the rule of law? Sounds like another Lindsey Halligan, with even less legal knowledge.

Puff the Magic Hater@mskellymhayes.bsky.social · 6d agoSomething has really bothered me about the Gloria Steinem discourse—something that's not really about Gloria Steinem. So, I wrote about it.
Happy 72nd Birthday to Ruby Bridges, who at the age of 6 desegregated the New Orleans public schools. She’s younger than 30 senators and our last two presidents—and only 7 years older than Barack Obama. The past isn’t past.
Beautiful and true: “You can tell me what someone meant to you without demanding that they mean the same thing to me…rather than trying to make one another feel correctly, we can ask a more useful question…how are we going to take care of one another and endure what comes next?”

The chant you're hearing is "FIRST! DO NO HARM!" Huge high five to everyone who came out to the protest at Mount Sinai over the hospital's deal with Trump to end gender-affirming care for trans youth. 🧵 of photos to follow!
Rise and Resist@riseandresist.bsky.social · last wk.Mt Sinai has violated the Hippocratic Oath and sacrificed the health of Trans and Gender Nonconforming youth by capitulating to the Trump admin. A coalition of TGNCNB and LGBTQIA+ activists, and allies will stand up for our youth against @mountsinainyc.bsky.social . JOIN US!
You know who actually did show up at Ground Zero? Canadian emergency rescue crews.
There have been so many impeachable offenses, but lying about how you were a hero on a day that 2,753 people died in NYC in the 9/11 disaster—when you were on the other side of town, safely calling local media to brag about how you now had the tallest downtown building—is such a despicable one
Thank God this lying dork will not be there on Friday

The marketing in general has been amazing. They made a popcorn bucket from an actual anvil that was hollowed out, it weighs about 40 pounds, and therefore isn’t actually for sale. All for a gag to promote the movie. Genius. youtu.be/Gb97t_troVA

and the thing is no one has really seen it before. it's not even clear what to call it. a glacial collapse taking part of a mountain with it and eight thousand feet to fall does stuff we don't actually have terms for
Dave Vetter@davidrvetter.bsky.social · 2w agoThe sheer force and scale of the Nepal landslide is far beyond anything I've seen before. New footage from @ pilulaespacial on IG.
Agreed. I now drive an EV and I will never go back.
Jason Wright@astrowright.bsky.social · 2w agoHaving bought two EVs and a hybrid, I think a big part of America’s sloth in adopt adopting EVs is car dealerships’ management being heavily Republican, and having a business model that relies on repairs that EV‘s don’t need.

I think what I find really depressing about AI in higher education is how so many people didn't even wait for the evidence/research before we decided on telling students "how to use AI responsibly" which often includes things like checking grammar, and obviously, we shouldn't have been
This was so stupid I had to check to see if it's real, and yes. Ted Cruz, the man who once told a story about the "basketball ring," is trying to tell a guy who literally played lacrosse at Michigan how Michigan athletes refer to their rival.
“The United States, for example, has announced that it will contribute $500,000 to the rescue effort — a small fraction of what it had promised in the days immediately after a devastating earthquake hit Nepal in 2015.” disgusting

I’m really sick of all this abuse, misuse of power, corruption, and crime among elected officials. Florida needs to hold them accountable! They keep doing it because they keep getting away with it!
so according to the CDC, *foodborne illness* is responsible for about 930 deaths a year. "food-induced illness" is a made up term RFK is using for basically every cause of mortality minus suicide.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2w agoRFK Jr defends measles: "In 10 years, there have been 3 measles deaths in America. There are now about 1.2 million deaths every year from food-induced illness. The media and certain demagogic politicians are constantly trying to scare us about infectious disease."
