John Oliver (on right) gestures with his hands as he speaks. On left, a ProPublica headline from December 15, 2025 reads: “Trump Officials Celebrated With Cake After Slashing Aid. Then People Died of Cholera.” An article excerpt below says: "... turning rows red, yellow or green every few seconds, never asking a single question.”

Birthing a human being doesn't make you a tech policy expert sadly. There are plenty of parents who don't believe trans kids should be allowed to exist. Myself/tech reporters have reported on this topic for years, academics have dedicated their lives to studying it, you have fallen for a moral panic

Crowd of protesters in a city street holding anti-war signs, including a large cardboard sign reading “NO WAR” and another reading “U.S. Out of Iraq & Syria! Hands off IRAN!” with tall buildings and bright billboards blurred in the background.
As the U.S. bombs Iran, we can’t let Trump drag us into another forever war.

There are two weeks until my election, and AIPAC has spent $150,000 to create the worst attack out against me I have ever seen.
Let’s watch it:
#OtD 3 Mar 1991 Rodney King was brutally beaten by police in Los Angeles. Despite it being caught on film (almost unheard of in those days), the officers were acquitted, and the city went up in flames in what were the biggest riots since 1968 stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1021...
