Press gave Biden far worse coverage for a small number of American soldiers dying while leaving a war than to Trump for a similar number dying while starting a war for no reason. It makes you think!

By my count, we're now at the fourth time the ACLU of North Carolina has warned or sued Asheville city hall this decade:

* 2020 warning letter about anti-protest curfew

* 2023 lawsuit about banning activists from parks with no due process... #avlnews #avlgov

Listening to the NYT Daily podcast episode about Iran when the ad read starts "this podcast is brought to you by the American Petroleum Institute"

Chris Murphy: "It won't be the billionaire children of Donald Trump and his buddies that die. It's going to be the children of middle class and poor families all across this country that are gonna die for a war of choice, a war of vanity, an illegal war."

Kansas Sends Letters To Trans People Demanding The Immediate Surrender Of Drivers Licenses "The legislature did not include a grace period."

This is bigotry, pure and simple.

Maybe it’s because I’m a colonial historian but so many of these white nation states seem to behave exactly like they did in the 19th century: ‘your leaders aren’t right for you,’ ‘we’re only killing you/colonizing you/installing puppet leaders for your own good’

Proposed name change. Bored of Peace. There.

Not ur doing at all, Thanks for posting,

i mean this sincerely too, I don't want people like katelyn, evan, or jamelle to lose their jobs. they are still marginalized people trying to get by in a society and country that doesn't want them to exist. i'm mad sure, but. i genuinely don't think anyone saw this kind of thing coming.

They went to war with Iran (which nobody in America was asking for) so they could conjure an excuse to allow ICE to keep murdering Americans and teargassing schools here at home with impunity (which nobody in America was asking for).

“We are not on the same team liberal”

Insisting that you’re a legitimate trans person only if u adhere to certain political views and tactics is just another form of trans exclusion.

These guys were selling t-shirts until they needed a war to cover up the intentional damage they did to the economy and the president's involvement in a pedophilia scandal.

The OP has an account with 35k followers, not enormous but several times larger than mine. I dared to express a dissenting view and was heaped w abuse. It’s another form of trans exclusion.

Commands around the world, including U.S. Central Command in the Middle East, use Anthropic’s Claude AI tool, people familiar with the matter confirmed. Centcom declined to comment about specific systems being used in its ongoing operation against Iran. The command uses the tool for intelligence assessments, target identification and simulating battle scenarios even as tension between the company and Pentagon ratcheted up, the people said, highlighting how embedded the AI tools are in military operations.

The WSJ is reporting that AI, specifically Claude, was used in targeting for the attacks by the Epstein Empire.

That would mean the use of AI led directly to the massacre of 115 schoolchildren and 20 volleyball players.

Denial of ppl’s existence is not ur call. Keep up the abuse. It goes hand in hand.

Thanks David. Keep up the good work!

Hi, your thread has a lot of v good thoughts. A side/secondary thought of my own..

You know my story. I gave up my job. But I was subjected to abuse by ppl (not u ofc) who also misrepresented who I am based on stereotyping. Trans ppl should be able to have differing opinions without being attacked

Saudi Arabia and Israel—two countries for which there is bipartisan support in the U.S. despite the fact that in recent years, both have been accused of committing genocide by human rights organizations and experts.

This administration is committing true horrors—made possible by years of rot.

Florida just cut off HIV meds for 16,000 people.

Reposting this because, hilariously, someone running an AI news aggregator just plagiarized the hell out of it and got shared 3x as much as the original post. So you know, here's the actual piece. Where I talk about LLMs making copies of copies of copies of copies and how that drives disinformation.

You’re not the decider of me

“We are not on the same team” You weren’t acknowledging that, you were *telling* me that

You want to exclude me bc you decided what my politics were and they don’t comport w urs

I read just fine, I know abuse when I see it. Trans ppl get to have whatever views we want without being called names
