California Could Pass Ten Bills Supporting LGBTQ+ Rights Into Law—If Gov. Newsom Doesn’t Veto Them Responding to an unprecedented wave of hate against trans communities, California legislators have sent bills supporting queer healthcare and privacy rights to the Governor’s desk. Californians must p...

disappointing to see every big account on this website line up to stoke rage and fear and doom into everyone's hearts based on what is already been explained to be misleading.

as @threnody.bsky.social said, you will have plenty of other opportunities for despair and to criticize Newsom!

hi, cis folks in california!

this headline leaves out that newsom has another 5 days to sign these bills into law. if you’d like to tell him he should do that to protect trans californians, you should to reach out.

he also has a phone: (916) 445-2841

want to know what to say? next post! 🧵

Keep emailing:

“Editor’s Note: The original version of this story mistakenly stated Newsom has chosen not to sign trans protections. It has been updated to say he has until the end of the week to act.”

He hasn't signed the other bills yet, but he still has days to do so
This headline is misleading for not mentioning that.

The gender education veto is bad, but far from the most important trans rights bill on his desk.

There's still time to contact Newsom for the rest!

Inside the Clunky Elections to Control Pennsylvania's Supreme Court - Bolts The GOP is making an expensive push to end Democrats’ majority on a court at the center of election lawsuits, sparking a fledging campaign season with little precedent or template.

GOP hopes to flip Pennsylvania's supreme court before the 2028 presidential election.

For that, they need some success this fall: They can erase Dems' majority & force a tie, & then go for the majority in 2027.

Ultimate stakes are as big as New Jersey & Virginia, frankly:

After so many takes from people wanting donor money for their think tank and here we are.

Inside the Clunky Elections to Control Pennsylvania's Supreme Court - Bolts The GOP is making an expensive push to end Democrats’ majority on a court at the center of election lawsuits, sparking a fledging campaign season with little precedent or template.

Dispatch from Pennsylvania on a highly unusual state Supreme Court election—one of the few most consequential matters on the ballot anywhere in the country next month. New from me in @boltsmag.org: boltsmag.org/pennsylvania...

An image of Tasneem and her family in Gaza. With the words: "I'm Tasneem, a mother of three children. I used to live a simple life, full of love despite its simplicity - but everything changed on October 7. Our home was completely destroyed, we've been displaced more than 15 times, and now we live in daily hell. My only dream is to secure a safe life for my children outside of Gaza. Any support - even just €5 - could change their future and give them a sense of safety. Help us build a new hope for them"

Satellite image of Jabalia in Gaza, leveled.

ABC News: "Satellite images show extent of destruction in Gaza after 2 years of war."

Gaza has been destroyed, with hundreds of thousands killed. The civilians rely on our donations to survive.

Please give to my friend Tasneem so she can feed her children. And to others. ❤️

This site is not perfect at all on Israel-Palestine issues but it is a hell of a lot better than eXTwitter where the zealously pro-Palestine side are easy marks for Scott Ritter and antisemites while the zealously pro-Israel side are all just openly genocide-denying, Cuomo-supporting sociopaths.

CALIFORNIANS!

you can help make our state better and safer for trans people RIGHT NOW by telling Newsom he needs to sign these bills!

We need you!

If you ever wondered what Republican “governance” looks like, this is it.

A government shutdown.
Federal workers who don’t get paid.
A President who golfs during a shutdown.
National guards and ICE deployed to attack and arrest Americans.
Millions of Americans losing their healthcare.

Perhaps. Though Vader had his redeeming qualities while Lockjaw seems to be a truly irredeemable Nazi like Homan and Miller.

Robin Williams' daughter has some quality thoughts on AI slop

Tbh I thought the Christmas Adventurers were basically a stand-in for the Heritage Foundation.

You're not alone. There have been multiple reviews which talked about OBAA basically being Star Wars

zeldawilliams 20m From Create Mode •• Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want. To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough, , just so other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it. Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

It's real bad that the users here do not know that BlueSky is currently involved in a federal investigation with the exact kind of death threat-giving crazy poaster that people accuse this site of being filled with. Jay is not above criticism but she and the mods obviously are being cautious.

We really do not need a blue 4chan

Like, you can argue about whether "making a death threat with a barely-present veil over it" merits a *permanent* ban, but "I will send a death threat to the boss of this site I post on" is the kind of shit that gets you banned on basically every site to ever exist.

I really wish we could evolve past mod drama, and I think Jay is crashing out, which she shouldn't as the head of a social media platform.
However, if someone who had been heavily critical of me responded to one of my posts with a picture of Charlie Kirk immediately pre-assassination...

We have not called for this. We do not need this.

Donald Trump is pitting sovereign states against one another in effort to consolidate his own power at the expense of our constitutional rights—

An egregious abuse of power.

He is pushing us closer to authoritarianism.

I'm still seeing "hurr durr feckless Jeffries Schumer strongly worded letter distraction" posts despite the fact that they firmly stood their ground on the shutdown fight and are far angrier at the Republicans than before.

DOJ: I would just reiterate request for stay pending appeal and admin stay and note request in order.

Judge: I am denying both requests for stays.
