It’s very simple and it’s been said over and over but I guess it needs saying continuously: if you deem one group too small to have equal rights you are enabling fascism, not fighting it. The people saying Dems are GREAT on trans rights are not paying attention and/or saying stuff like this.

Nichole Hiltz The Democrats defend the Kennedy Center but not trans people. A building. @treewarrior.bsky.... maybe because defending everything about a super small minority of the population is not worth losing to fascists

New: Trump called crypto "thin air." Last year, he reported $1.4 billion in income from it. Buyers of his crypto? They're an estimated $4.7 billion underwater. I made an 8-bit game out of it— 📈 Play as Trump: you cannot lose money. 📉 Play as an investor: you cannot win.

‘THIN AIR,’ REAL MONEY — The Trump Crypto Game

An 8-bit game about real money. Play as Trump: you only make money. Play as an investor: you only lose. Every figure is drawn from Public Citizen's report and the sources it cites.

Excellent read by @marisakabas.bsky.social Conservative media claims that the rise in antisemitism in America is a result of "the Left" or Hassan Piker, but the record shows it's elected Republicans who have harnessed and celebrated this hateful rhetoric www.thehandbasket.co/p/republican...

Republicans don’t have a Nazi problem—they are the Nazi problem

A spate of recent revelations have shown the ideologies and their adherents are one and the same.

PSA, friends. The News is terrible. Bad things are happening. BUT. Good things are, too. A LOT of them. Please remember headlines do not happen naturally like the dawn. They are worded, curated, and carefully chosen to make you upset enough to click. Good things are happening under the radar.

US Senators get paid sick leave and healthcare for life Mitch McConnell disappeared for 90 days and never had to worry about getting a paycheque or paying his medical bills Senators should be given exactly what they give their constituents. In Mitch’s case, that’s no healthcare
