From DOGE bros demanding that their videos be removed to Carr threatening broadcast licenses over war coverage to Hegseth restricting photographers b/c of "unflattering" photos (🤣), every day brings new examples of how right wing free speech talk has always been about hierarchy, not principle.

I feel like this instinct applies to entertainment too, not just food - it’s great to want to share things you love but not everything is for everyone! learn other people’s tastes before pushing things on them, it’s okay if they don’t like it
"I'm willing to take a not guilty. I'm willing to take a no true bill."
What she means is she's willing to bring legally deficient cases that harass innocent defendants, waste her line prosecutors' time, and makes her office look like jerkoffs in front of judges and juries.
Glad to see this decision out of the EU, and I hope to god it improves the lives of some of the people in the EU nations that have recently cracked down on transgender people.

“woke zamboni” is, objectively speaking, the coolest possible vehicle
The United Nation’s Human Rights Council has released a statement questioning the Olympics approach to sex testing saying it raises “serious concerns”.

Several election experts, including some who watched the audit of Maricopa County’s election in person in 2021, said any investigation based on the data would be fatally flawed.
It's always Black people first, but transphobic anti-immigrant natalism targets everyone wirh a uterus.
Necrocapital is *openly* pining for enslaved labor. Criminalizing reproductive health choices and providers is spilling over into ALL demographics now.
I recently had a PP client who is well educated about her medical options, had extensive resources, good support, and an EXTREMELY intense and complex birth.
She might not be here if she had listened to the on call OB who told her to go rest with some ibuprofen a few days after that experience.

My teen, who had dreamt of being an astrophysicist, just told me he wants to go to law school because, “Science isn’t going to be a priority in the US in the future…I don’t want a job where I’ll be constantly worried my funding will be taken away.”
Gutting. How many future scientists have we lost?
“AI can never be AI without humans. It is not artificial intelligence. It’s African intelligence...We are training our own death. We train ChatGPT and it’s killing us slowly.”
Kenyan workers are still the underpaid labor behind AI training, moderation, and sex chatbots. Now, they're fighting back.
Roger PielkeJr Making Complete Sense of the Debate Over Trans Athletes
Roger, clearly shows there was no trans athletes problem.
So why did Trump go so hard on it?
It’s simple gutter-level, dog-whistle politics, & @rileygaines624
was tapped as the torchbearer of it.

Centrists are really good as understanding when they need to drop out and consolidate behind a single candidate to get one of their own elected (see: Buttigieg, Klobuchar dropping out ahead of Super Tuesday to help Biden get the nomination over Sanders). Progressives? Not so much.
Bushra should have dropped out of this race. Now she's being used by a AIPAC to try to get Fine or Biss elected. Hope this was worth it for her to come in 4th place in the primary or whatever.
I may be off a one or two, but out of over 1.5 billon votes cast over the past generation or so, fewer than 20 cases of actual fraud.
That's a pretty tight ship, IMHO, and as someone here pointed out, no one would risk the massive fine and/or imprisonment with a single fraudulent vote.
A population of around 342 million, and over 300 million have SSNs, most of which may have been exposed, but yes.
Also, Google. 🙃
I can't believe that he used the "I can't be [X] because my [Y] is [Z]" trope. 🤦🏼♀️
Scratch that, I can. 🙄
What a dingus.
Clickbaity, but yes.
His response? To use the "I can't be [X] because my [Y] is [Z]" trope.
He also reiterated his bullshit line that he doesn't agree that trans women should participate in sports.
If you believe that I'm merely being a purist, just unfollow me and fuck all the way off.

Listen to Black women and not megachurch preachers, media folks.
THEY'RE the leaders in this movement.
Full ableism: these dudes are idiots.
The DOGE bros should put down their Playstation, leave their parent's basement, and go outside and touch grass. Gee, they might even meet other people.
The government and the judge can get bent.
For fuck's sake. 🤦🏼♀️
ICYMI: “In a month marked by court rulings that have chipped away at Trans+ rights, this result is proof that supporting Trans+ rights is not incompatible with winning elections.”
It’s Long Covid Awareness Day (which I think should be the Ides of March, for reasons that will become clear.)
Some of you have heard this before. But I wanted to share my Long Covid story, because I think you should hear it.
On my birthday in November 2022, I woke up with Covid.
how ironic to see the state protect two people who sought to strip the state while working under the direction of elon musk, who has made it impossible to seek recourse when people get death threats and harassment on twitter
