PragerU is like creationism, but for all subjects.

They start with an article of faith, then twist everything else to fit.

Check it out for yourself: The Douglass video tries to convince kids that the Founders were the ones who *stopped* slavery. And that Douglass would have hated BLM.

This was always the goal of bathroom bans, to fully push trans people from any semblance of public life, and it won't end there either, the "gender critical" project is currently trying to exert pressure over businesses that hire trans people in the UK, so that trans people are unemployable...

According to federal documents, Jared Wise shouted at the rioters battling police:

β€œYeah, fuck them! Yeah, kill β€˜em!” β€œKill β€˜em! Kill β€˜em! Kill β€˜em!”

Exclusive: US Air Force denies early retirement for group of transgender service members The U.S. Air Force is denying early retirement to all transgender service members with between 15 and 18 years of military service, opting instead to force them out with no retirement benefits, according to a memo seen by Reuters.

Unconscionable. After years of selfless sacrifice, Trump tells transgender servicemembers: β€˜no retirement, no respect.’ Service should be honoredβ€”not erased. We must stand up for ALL those who have served this country.

It’s also that she couldn’t help herself and had to write about how disrupting the status quo is the worst thing that can happen…again…while insisting that she’s not just a right winger. (How’s that going Jo?)

Not only the rise of Wizard Hitler, but the fact that Wizard Hitler’s greatest crime was wanting to stop actual Hitler.

Pete Buttigieg Doubles Down on Comments About the β€œFairness” of Trans People in Sports β€œI think in order to bring people together on this, we also have to take everyone seriously."

Yeah, I'm never voting for Buttigieg even if he's the nominee. This is a bright line for me. You cave on trans issues and lend credence to bigots, it's over. I'm not letting the Dems go down the path of Labour.

haha this rules.

folks don't know that AIs scraping websites accounts for like half of all internet bandwidth usage right now. Sites get scraped- ie, all the contents downloaded- over and over again, destroying/wasting their bandwidth, often maxing it out. It's like being continually DDOS'd

there's an episode of The Simpsons where Marge tries to get a violent cartoon pulled from the airwaves, only to discover that the people backing her aren't going to stop at just the art that *she* doesn't like, and that supporting artistic freedom means accepting discomfort.

It aired in 1990.

The video is obviously fake -- the lips don't match the words, and the words are things like "fun bags" -- but come on, man, the House went into recess two weeks ago.

You'd think someone who pretends to be a political reporter would be aware of that?

You are correct...that was a deepfake (but it really does sound like you). Thank you for correcting. But now to the central claim:  show me you calling on hamas to surrender or addressing the bombing of a car in st louis belonging to the idf american soldier?...dude?

Chris Cuomo posted an obviously fake video of @aoc.bsky.social (it literally says "parody 100% made with AI") and when the congresswoman fact-checked him he complained "but it really does sound like you"

Today we learned Andrew Cuomo is directly coordinating with Donald Trump, even as this President sends masked agents to rip our neighbors off the streets and guts the social services so many New Yorkers rely on.

It’s disqualifying and a betrayal of our city.

Hey @ultimateguard.bsky.social are the marginals on these boxes post-licencing worth directly funding anti-trans policy? Or do you just generally hate queer people?

I deleted a post yesterday because a few folks were concerned about "Reform is less transphobic than Labour" being press narrativization, and I did not want to make a definitive statement based on noncommittal waffling.

Today, Labour is calling Reform "Woke" pejoratively.
