screen grab of Sun Sport artilce about IOC ban for trans women including a picture of Cisgender Boxer Imame Khelife

Nothing illustrates the arseholery of the IOC and the British Press more than the use of the image of a not-Trans woman to illustrate a story about trans women being banned (because there are no current trans women competing at this level)

The United States expended 25% of its entire missile defense capacity to prevent Israel from facing consequences for its war of aggression against Iran! The US Navy pushed maintenance schedules back years to kill Yemenis on behalf of Israel! They poured F/A-18s into the Red Sea for Israel!

Narendra Modi's silence on Zohran Mamdani’s victory reveals what terrifies Hindutva supporters Zohran Mamdani represents everything whose existence the Hindu Right has spent decades trying to deny.

Modi's silence on Mamdani’s victory reveals what terrifies Hindutva supporters. Young, progressive, interfaith, anti-establishment and unafraid, Zohran represents everything whose existence the Hindu Right has spent decades trying to deny.

His is a modern, multi-faith family grounded in progressive values—precisely the kind of modern Muslim the Hindu Right wants to delegitimise. Acknowledging Zohran could mean acknowledging an Indian legacy that Modi is trying to bury.

The collapse of Noah Smith from 'interesting writer whose occasionally a bit random' into 'complete idiot and mentalist' is one of the most clear cut cases of twitter-poisoning I've seen

A Woman Asked 43 Churches If They'd Feed a Starving Baby. The Texas Ones Failed Her Test. Nikalie Monroe is going viral on TikTok for calling churches across the country to ask for baby formula for a fictional two-month-old.

“So, what would you like for me to say?” the woman asked.

“Honestly, my next question is, are you pro-life? Is your church pro-life?” Monroe asked. The church hung up.

how is there always a new bird that makes me go "what the fuck" these guys are always inventing, always innovating

The different between the right and centrists is that the right gleefully kills millions of people and centrists present mass murder as a technical solution, like they added up all the numbers and carried a zero and oops, sorry, millions have to die.

Hello @support.bsky.team why has
@sarahkendzior.bsky.social been suspended without explanation?????

I know, everybody should leave X, but I think an exception should be made solely for Joyce Carol Oates so she can keep wounding Musk's withered soul on his own site and he can't do a thing about it.

Hey so if you see your senator in this list, could you please call them tomorrow and tell them that you’re mad because they voted to kill the entire hemp farm industry, including your buddy Derek in Oregon?

Thanks, buddy.

Just watched Bernie Sanders on Maddow and in response to whether Schumer should step down from leadership, his answer was "Look Schumer is part of the Dem Establishment and if he steps down who will replace him?"

I mean... Bernie, WTF???? Take a damn stand.

Here's what each federal department plans to cut under Budget 2025 | CBC News Tuesday's federal budget  offers a glimpse into how dozens of government departments plan to rein in spending following this summer's comprehensive expenditure review. Here's a department-by-departmen...

I missed the detail that Mark Carney ditched the luxury tax on private jets, yachts, and vehicles over $100,000 in the budget, though I also can’t say I’m surprised.

The banker-in-chief is serving his Bay Street buddies.

about that...

Dems calling for Schumer to be replaced:
- Ro Khanna
- Mike Levin
- Seth Moulton
- Marc Pocan
- Delia Ramirez
- Rashida Tlaib

Conservatives were trying to flip Spokane in 2023, & failed. They were hoping to flip Spokane in 2025, but instead the Dem-affiliated side appear to have gained ground.

Fuck every alder who voted against plowing the sidewalks in chicago. I hope you don't slip and fall and break some bones.

Special fuck you to the alder who did some terrible "back of the napkin" math. Stop ruining our lives!!!!

We’ve now taken the lead by 91 votes! 🤯 This thing is certainly not over! Over 1,000 ballots have been challenged, so if you haven’t tracked your ballot yet get on it! Our trusty volunteers have been working hard to "cure" ballots so they count! We're so close!

A reminder that Lin-Manuel Miranda is disliked in Puerto Rico because of his support for PROMESA. His dad is a wealthy lobbyist. Hamilton is a weird fucking retelling of the founding of America, somewhat sanitized by liberal representation. IDGAF how good the music is.

To be a U.S. Senator is to be an institutionalist. Even Bernie Sanders cares more about his role and friendships in the senate than he does about his ideological project. If ideology came first he would lead the charge on ousting Schumer. But that’s his friend.

Also many of the so called NO votes were not no votes. They supported the move to reopen and are glad to have those who supported cloture do so. Now they can make their little posts on social media and credulous voters will postback: 'thanks to my Senator for standing up.' Pure WWF.

incredibly funny that Joyce Carol Oates owned Musk so hard he's started trying to post like a regular person with normal interests

How the oppressed became oppressors for racial capitalism:

"There is nothing sadder to people struggling against oppression in Ireland than to see our own people being used to oppress Black people." -Bernadette Devlin

This has occurred in Canada, the U.S, in Israel & Liberia and we must be aware.

BREAKING: We won!

Today the 3rd Circuit Court ordered the @post-gazette.com to restore our contract it illegally tore up 5 years ago. That’s our health care, PTO, right to a 40-hr. work week, short-term disability and so much more we’ve struck for 3+ years.

Hunger doesn't seem to be an emergency for Alabama leaders | Alabama Reflector When Alabama leaders see an emergency, they act fast. Which makes their passivity as 726,000 Alabamians face hunger more striking.

My column this week. When Alabama lawmakers want to give money to corporations or punish transgender people, nothing can stop them.

When 726,000 Alabamians face hunger, the laws they are empowered to write suddenly become impossible barriers.

Opinion | Flipping fairness: California's "colorblind" laws fail Black students A scholarship meant to repair racial terror now must include descendants of those who were never targets of it. But is it, and programs like it, truly discriminatory?

“ A scholarship at UC San Diego — created to honor victims of Klan violence & help Black students — was forced open to white applicants after a legal challenge…A program meant to repair racial terror…has to include descendants of those who were never targets of it.”
