USA TODAY Opinion@usatodayopinion.usatoday.com · 3d agoOpinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.
Too bad we don't have a press corps that can simply find out and report the truth of the matter instead of just telling us what both sides are saying
I know this would be closing the barn door after he horse has been reelected president, but if Democrats win both chambers I'd really like to see a concurrent resolution deeming January 6 an insurrection under 14(3). 1/

Can't think of a thing that will radicalize a generation faster than "you've gotta let that old man in the corner over there see what's inside those pants before you play Kindergarten volleyball."
Gillian Branstetter@gbbranstetter.bsky.social · 3d agoAn initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play
It's definitionally eugenics, culling of the vulnerable of the population because their lives are considered discardable. It has actual roots & heritage.

just said this on another post but it bears repeating: the thing about continuing to give money to any jk rowling properties or the nyt is not that they’re shitty about trans people, which they are. it is that both of these entities MATERIALLY CONTRIBUTE to the legal challenges to trans rights
I can't stress enough what a crisis this is. Trump's own intelligence agencies concluded that Iran attacked Minnesota's critical infrastructure and Trump is saying that it's Minnesota's own fault and denying it was Iran. The federal government won't defend blue states in a literal war.
U.S. Sees Iran as Likely Behind Cyberattack on Minnesota Water Systems (Gift Article)
Investigators cautioned that the assessment was preliminary. There were no indications that any water supply had been rendered unsafe to drink.

Tbh this is maybe the most anti-free market administration since World War 2. They tax imports, pick winners and losers (often based on proximity to the president), attempt to dictate central bank policy, manipulate equity markets, block industries on ideological grounds. Not laissez-faire!

Since this is now attracting people who apparently do not understand the intent, I'll be real explicit: Sony ditching physical media for games sucks but it's infinitely less important than Microsoft providing material support for a genocide—something many gamers and press outlets continue to ignore
No Games For Genocide
The games industry is complicit in genocide. It’s time to divest.

Stephen Miller said just the other day that all asylum claims are "fake." A couple deported from the U.S. to Guatemala were gagged, bound, and shot dead. Their 14-month old found crying next to their mother's body. People like Miller don't care though because this is the point: ethnic cleansing.
Overland couple shot dead in Guatemala after local ICE stop led to deportations
The couple’s 14-month-old daughter was found crying beside her mother’s body in a sugarcane field last week, according to Guatemalan authorities and media.

I am always trying to explain to folks that most Americans have never met a Jew and people do not believe me and I just need you to understand that the perception that we are a powerful group in this country is intentionally created by antisemites and you’re unknowingly buying in.
Joel S.@joelhs.bsky.social · last wk.This actually explains something about how people talk about the Jewish community.
Mamdani accurately said that Prime Minister Netanyahu is charged with war crimes, and people are blaming him for antisemitism. Trump baselessly claimed George Soros was funding Central American migrant caravans, which directly inspired the deadliest antisemitic violence in US history in 2018.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last wk.Mamdani: "When I make criticisms of PM Netanyahu, they are criticisms of PM Netanyahu. And what I shared were not even frankly personal assessments, they were objective facts ... it's a city where everyone needs to know that their belonging to it is not conditional on how they feel about the mayor."
One consequence of the democratising effect of social media is too many people treat “the statements made and endorsed by a social media platform’s wealthy and powerful owner” with the same seriousness as “a random user with no influence or importance”.
