"Look, the President clearly has some kind of dementia" should be how Democrats begin every single comment to reporters these days.

He could not have been clearer about what he wanted to do.

On a day which included a TV debate and Jim Gavin’s surprise Áras drop-out, Catherine Connolly still found time to impress the public with her football skills.

@thunberggreta.bsky.social has done more to prevent and punish genocide than all 193 States in the UN, especially the 153 signatories of the genocide convention. Let that sink in

The all-knowing bsky mods gave Erin Biba a 24 hour suspension for a months-old skeet about Christian Zionism, and I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that this happened when she’s been vocally criticizing Jay

the purpose of a system is what it does: delay, delay, delay so that oil, gas and coal companies can keep raking in billions

Censorship of Pro-Palestine Speech in the Music Industry Shows the Power of Demands for Decolonization The liberation of Palestine is a threat to how we live today—that’s precisely why we should keep calling for it.

NEW! from @nicolefroio.bsky.social: The reason governments, universities, and other public institutions across the world want to quash pro-Palestine speech—including art and music—is because they understand the danger it poses to life as we know it. Which is all the more reason to say it louder.

I still think that outlawing protest, the one legal form of action specifically because it is the least effective and damaging, will just make more people think "in for a penny, in for a pound" and perform more direct action if they're just getting arrested anyway.

Aside from anything else how does a former Minister for Social Protection not know that the Gender Recognition Act was part of a settlement of a High Court dispute?

Sending troops from Texas to forcefully occupy and suppress cities in Illinois and Oregon IN OPPOSITION TO THOSE STATES' GOVERNORS is literally a civil war and it's cooking my brain that Democrats are simply pretending it isn't happening

Two censure motions for von der Leyen, Gaza war anniversary, and defence plans This WEEK This week MEPs will debate two separate censure motions against Ursula von der Leyen, EU-Greenland relations, Gaza, antisemitism, and defence (including the 'drone wall.') Votes on cutting red tape in...

🎁..."Gaza is a slaughterhouse, UN special rapporteur Francesca Albanese told a press conference last week, arguing that this war has exposed the “dehumanisation of Palestinians. She added that imagining 20,000 US or Italian children dead would evoke a very different reaction from the world."

"He points at polls that show diminishing support for trans rights or reproductive rights as proof that 'we' are losing the argument, but never pauses to wonder why a party would be losing an argument that it has been scared to even make."

Ah yes, ‘noted liker of cops Lametably Awake’… 😂

who are the CHP and ISP officers on Newsom and Pritzker's security details? have their FEC records been (quietly, deniably) pulled? has their social media been looked at? if push comes to shove, whose orders are they likely to follow? these are not abstractions.

Your state police are willing fascist foot soldiers and will side with the Gestapo over civilians every time.

Pritzker mad a massive mistake intermingling state police with ice as they are all the same fascist forces

The ‘ewwww’ is strong in this one. Profoundly gross.

This is one of the things that shocked me when I started working in disability services.

People living in residential care, nursing homes, not because of their age or lack of mental acuity, but because the state could not provide suitable adaptation or care supports in their own homes.

Ivan is 51, living in a nursing home because the gov can't be bothered to house people properly. The manufactured housing crisis is ruining lives

I want this place to prosper but if leadership continues the precedent that dunking on accounts demanding consequences for transphobia and other shitty behaviors is acceptable, it's just Twitter 2.0 and we left for a reason.

If all these data centers being built everywhere where no one who lives there wants them are so great and wonderful how come they're all being built as fucking secrets

screenshot from linked to article that reads (in part): Jun 18, 2018 – Katherine Cross on Singal sending her an email “swearing a storm at me because I tweeted something he disliked that he felt was untrue.” Jun 18, 2018 – Cat Fitzpatrick mentions Singal threatened to sue her for politely disagreeing with him. Jan 15, 2019 – Singal levies legal threats against two writers who mention that they personally know trans women who’ve had bad interactions with him. Jul 7, 2020 – the day the Harper’s Letter (which Singal was a signatory) was released, Singal instigated pile-ons of multiple people. I captured him initiating the pile-on of Jennifer Finney Boylan as it was occurring in this thread (both up & down from linked-to tweet). Emily VanDerWerff reacts to Singal’s pile-on of her here and, two days later, discusses the aftermath of that pile-on (which included “Death threats, rape threats, invitations to commit suicide, constant misgendering, etc”). Ari Drennen took screenshots of Singal targeting Aja Romano. Because Singal’s attack on Emily VanDerWerff was premised on his false presumption that she was trying to get one of her employers fired (which she has denied), lots of other writers began coming forward with stories of Singal contacting their employers and editors because he disliked what they wrote. Here are some of those instances: Jul 7, 2020 – Katelyn Burns on Singal “repeatedly emailing my employer until they fired me” is found here. A week later a co-worker corroborated that story. Jul 7, 2020 – Noah Berlatsky shares: “also Jesse emailed me to demand I save DMs from Katelyn and others and investigate them for him, implying he would sue me otherwise.” Jul 7, 2020 – Katerine Cross shares: “Back when I wrote for Feministing, he repeatedly badgered the editors trying to get a critical post that mentioned him briefly changed or taken down.” Jul 9, 2020 – Harron Walker shares how Singal “emailed my editor many times after this was published seeking correction....o…

just learning now that "waffles" is about Jəsse Singəl, so I will re-up this piece that chronicles his long history of harassing primarily trans women (+ other trans ppl & allies) online... juliaserano.blogspot.com/2017/12/my-j...

This contains so many layers of ‘what the fuck!?’ The enormity of its revulsion reveals itself slowly, washing over your consciousness in waves.

A reader asked: Given Israel’s blockade on Gaza, what happens with donations to aid agencies? Four aid agencies explained how they are still helping people in Gaza, despite the obstacles.
