Barry repeatedly told his mother he was sorry because he knew it was the only way to stop her from lashing out at him. From experience, he knew that trying to hold his mother responsible for any unwanted outcomes resulted in her making herself the victim and lashing out at him. The only way to stop her was to say he was sorry, even though the only thing he was actually remorseful about was relying on her for something time-sensitive and important to him. He would try to avoid this situation in the future. Barry learned from consistently being treated this way as a child that when unwanted outcomes occur, the only way he can avoid verbal abuse is to get ahead of it and apologize profusely. He generalized this in all of his relationships, even though most of his relationships are not abusive.

Oh. Oh! ... Oh... Damn. I'll bet that also translates really well to being yelled at/upset with for apologizing not being AT ALL helpful with correcting that. Spoilers: It just makes me want to apologize more/better.

There's been a lot of debate within the Democratic establishment about what rhetoric to use via ICE.

Well, an incumbent doesn't lose by 48 percentage points very often—and her vote on collaborating with ICE was the defining issue here.

I dunno, I feel like "I'm siding with Ken Paxton on genociding trans youth" should be the demoralizing bit here Jesse

Don't ever listen to people who tell you to be satisfied with the status quo, who act like your voice doesn't matter.

Progress has been made due to folks making their voices heard. If nothing you did mattered, we wouldn't have the hard-won rights many folks have today.

Don't stop.

Bro, ICE is still here kidnapping people, now they’ve even got transit vans advertising fake companies.

I hope Keir Starmer wakes up covered in caterpillars and there are so many caterpillars, he’s telling his wife he doesn’t even know where the caterpillars came from but she’s SO angry at him for the caterpillars and when he tries to eat breakfast caterpillars pour out of his stupid cornflakes box.

Like the Iraq War vote two decades ago, this decision will define a generation of politicians.

Call your senators and demand that they rein in Trump and prevent further military operations in Iran.

A new report and survey of trans people reports that 99% of them have had their mental health negatively affected by the barrage of anti trans stories in the UK media. 64% avoided medical care due to discrimination. This is a crisis.

This post has a lot of good info. Call your reps and tell them the KIDS Act has to be opposed. Sammy's Law is the least bad out of all of these, so you can tell them to support that and say that the KIDS Act is going too far.

i think its extremely problematic that we keep finding out about adjustments/changes to how moderation is done here by people sharing the emails sent to users by moderation and not an official announcement or explanation of what the rules are from T&S.

Reminder that bluesky isn't your friend either and the people running the site absolutely do hate you and want to spite you

If only neoliberal powers were capable of restraining big tech oligarchs without pushing asinine ideas like KOSA or repealing Section 230 that end up targeting their competition and hurting marginalized communities.

Sigh.

Reminder to call your representatives every day & demand that they

- oppose KOSA

- oppose the App Store Accountability Act

- oppose the SCREEN Act

- oppose Section 230 reform/sunsetting

- oppose/repeal online age verification & ID laws

The Kids Online Safety Act Will Make the Internet Worse for Everyone Lawmakers who support KOSA today are choosing to trust the current administration, and future administrations, to define what youth—and to some degree, all of us—should be allowed to read online. KOSA...

Just a reminder that @anthropic.com the “ethical” AI company is donating $20 million to Public First Action, who are backing Marsha Blackburn and KOSA, a bill that’s going to censor the web and make it worse for everyone..

Here are the bills that are in the markup. KIDS Act may have bills like KOSA on it. Nevertheless, keep calling your reps to vote no and oppose it and other censorship bills.

KOSA and related bills are up for vote in the House of Representatives Energy & Commerce Committee on Thursday, and I wanted to make a thread on what YOU can do to stop it! If you aren't aware of what KOSA is, the EFF has a great article here: www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...

Thread below!

Jesse Singal: “I don’t understand why all these experts with degrees keep disagreeing with me. So demoralizing. What could the explanation be??”

UPDATE: KOSA And other 3 bad internet bills are going to markup as soon as tomorrow. Keep calling your reps and tell them to vote no before we lose the entire internet to ID requirements. #StopKOSA #SaveSpeech

They are at it again! Please call your electeds and tell to vote No on KOSA and other similar bills that operate under the pretense of "protecting the kids". But are really just censorship and speech crackdown bills. Our freedom of speech online is in danger if such bills are allowed to pass.

Anti-Trans Democrats Blown Out In North Carolina Primary Election Anti-trans Democrat Nasif Majeed lost to Veleria Levy, who ran on a pro-LGBTQ+ platform. Other conservative Democrats lost as well on primary day.

1. In yesterday's primary elections, anti-transgender Democrats found out the hard way why you don't throw transgender people under the bus.

Two anti-trans dems lost their primaries, including one that cast the deciding veto override vote, in blowouts.
