Nagasaki marked 80 years since the U.S. atomic bombing of the city on Saturday, amid frustration among the dwindling number of survivors that their powerful calls for eradicating nuclear arms are falling on deaf ears.

Yep. Any transphobic measures targeting the trans population will be entirely the responsibility of the Starmer “government” they will be in place because Starmer wants them there.

The media need to be held accountable for misinformation. They've gotten away with it for far too long and they should be made to provide evidence of the things they put out there. They publish blatant lies to causes hatred and harm, it's unchecked.

If they kill the 1st amendment, it's all over. This is a big overreach

How many more god damn times do we have to say “they hate us all” before people believe it.

This is an excuse for me to remind people that there should be an LGBT tax credit.

How have we let it get this far?

The first red flags didn’t affect yous personally so you didn’t care. Kamala was not the ✨perfect✨ candidate (I’m certainly not a fan 90% of the time) so yous didn’t vote/ voted for dump or third parties.

Last Nov was the time to stand united. Or fall.

What can be done to stop it? People didn’t vote or didn’t vote for Harris. It is what it is now. Thanks to SCOTUS, Heritage Foundation is demolishing democracy in the U.S. We who voted blue have a clear conscience. I don’t know what can be done to stop them. They defy court orders, no consequences

Leaving inaccuracies and hallucinations aside, The thing about AI is that if you don't like the answers it spits out you can just change the AI to confirm to your biases. It's just being prejudiced and deliberately biased with extra steps.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov: "I led the effort to build the IL Holocaust Museum. What I know is that in 53 days, Nazis tore down the constitutional republic in Germany in the 1930s. It doesn't take much. We're seeing pieces of that sort of authoritarian activity happening right now in this country."

@marcelias.bsky.social: "I want everyone to pay attention... Trump is laying the groundwork to steal the 2026 election."

I mean we saw it coming from miles away

I think this is mass action we can get behind

Me on holiday in 1997, staying with friends in the Bahamas. I’m on a boat, having just been scuba diving for the first time and I am grinning from ear to ear. My hair is thick, dark and awesome.

Me last week, working out at home. I’m wearing a smile and a Protect the Dolls vest. My hair is short, grey and awesome.

I was diagnosed HIV+ when I was 30.
It was 1998 and I had lost many friends to the virus.
HIV treatment then was new.
I was told I could expect to live 20 years, that I’d make it to 50.
Today I turn 58!
HIV treatment works. It also means no risk of passing HIV on during sex.
Isn’t science great?

For the love of fuck, research brainwashing techniques and educate yourselves.
In the age of information idiocy is a personal choice.

Anti vaxx rhetoric is dangerous.

Not only does it promote the spread of contagious and preventable disease, but it radicalizes people.

The disinformation campaigns prey on people’s fears.

The Emory gunman appears to have been targeting the CDC because he believed the COVID vaccine hurt him:

Hawaiʻi’s birds may face the highest rate of bird extinctions in the world. Why? Introduced diseases (avian malaria from mosquitos), predators (non-native cats, rats, mongoose, barn owls), competitors (non-native birds competing for resources), and habitat degradation (pigs, goats, invasive plants).
