Israel has killed approximately 200 journalists in Gaza in just 22 months, which is more than the combined number of journalists killed during WWII and the entirety of the Vietnam War.

i didn't get into it in my essay on this speech, but beyond the basic incoherence of vance's assorted grievances, i'm struck by how ungrateful *he* is, a man who owes his fame and fortune to the open, cosmopolitan society he is trying to destroy for the sake of power

i love that this guy specifically got toyed with and pushed around by everyone in his life, from meemaw to amy chua and now his understandably attendant basket of insecurities and pathologies have to be everyones problem

This is effectively a ban on trans scientists getting federal funding, straight up. It’s also effectively a ban on all scientific work that includes trans people.

Some video from earlier, multiple journalists bloodied in the scrum. This is just 90 seconds of over 10 minutes of extremely aggressive LAPD response tonight

we need to bring back marooning as a legal punishment

Not taking a stance on his comments or anything but I think we are coming at it wrong when we say it affects 20 ppl or whatever. Its more like it affects about 50% of the population because it has traction with normie low info voters.They are reflexive ignorant bigots and we have to account for that

i mean i’m counting on it

This is complete fantasy. Just an absurd made up lie. The EU is not giving Trump “$600 billion to invest anyway I want.” They aren’t giving him 1 dollar to invest. It is just astonishing that a president can go on a financial network and lie like this & it barely registers. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Somebody never watched Batman the animated series and it shows.

I’m Not panicking. I’m Outraged. Read more here.

I have been the subject of many spurious accusations and politically motivated attacks, but this one is in a class by itself. According to Tulsi Gabbard — the nation’s top intelligence official — my refusal to post on Twitter is being reviewed by the Department of Justice as evidence of wrongdoing.

I actually would like to see more pro-democracy messaging in politics but instead of throwing it around like a magic word you could tell people how it connects to their social and economic life experience. Here are a hundred ways your life is shitty because a handful of evil dorks make the decisions

Oh thats good im going to start using this.

It’s incredible how much the collapse of civil society has been engineered by this one single newspaper, constantly trying to highlight everyone else caving as some kind of savvy move by adults

for those who are less familar with him, and that's entirely understandable, he's been outspoken on defending trans kids bsky.app/profile/prit...

Its gotta be step number 1 ao we'd need control of congress and to end the filibuster

They need me. I have SO much hate in my heart. I could absolutely get the work done.

In all seriousness that kind of person exists for the left/liberal sphere, recruitment and appreciation of the work done by higher ups in the party is the bottleneck.

one thing about stephen miller is he wants to crush his enemies.

Ds are...very reluctant to say they want to crush their enemies.

CEOs of big banks seem to have a revealed preference for being racist over having accurate BLS numbers

only in a country with a political press as terrible as ours could a pair of democratic legislators be assassinated by a reactionary conservative and seven weeks later this double murder has been completely forgotten about

it's worth re-emphasizing how much managers, everywhere and across all classes, desperately want to go back to post-GFC conditions where every employee was precarious and desperate to hold on to their job. Why? because it makes it easy to abuse, exploit, and sexually assault your direct reports.

this is a good thread but I might actually take it further -- I don't think manosphere shit is actually about getting laid, I think it's literally about male loneliness, by which I mean, men addressing their loneliness via homosocial bonding through misogyny

Im talking about the data points proving they shouldn't be blamed because they were not mathematically significant enough to cost her the race in any state, not even Michigan.

The thing to understand about the manosphere is that many, if not most of the men in these spaces aren't looking for advice on getting laid. They're venting or performing for attention. Ether way it's misogyny for its own sake — one major idea is that most women aren't desirable in the first place!

You can't claim both this and that people shouldn't blame Palestine hold-outs for Trump or that he is making things worse for Palestine.
