Two months ago I reported on Amy Acton’s anti-trans turn and fears Dems would go the way of Labour. Some mocked me for it.
Now that list is up to 28 major dem elected officials and entire state governments.

Rather than cover the cost of gender affirming care for trans youth under medicaid, Colorado is voluntarily enacting the republican "taper and detransition" policy for youth on medicaid and dropping coverage.
WTF.
WTF.

I mean, no, the reason cops are disproportionately likely to say they believe rates of false allegations are higher than they are is because cops are disproportionately likely to do things that would make them the subject of allegations that are true

data center boosters try to keep the conversation focused on water consumption because air pollution is where the acute problem is
My god. A Virginia data center ran backup diesel generators full blast for 24 hours, creating a giant cloud of toxic smoke that choked its human neighbors. The government claimed there was nothing they could do.
Virginia Data Center Ran Diesel Generators for 24 Hours. Residents Fled Their Homes
Virginia data center diesel generators ran nearly 24 hours during a Code Red alert, leaving neighbors with no regulatory recourse under current state permits.

Bethany wore a “Protect The Dolls” t-shirt during rehearsals. The BBC posted it on their socials then quietly deleted and reposted it without showing her from the front. On TV last night they actually blurred the message #Strictly

Anthropic banning “abusive or cruel behavior” toward Claude in its new usage policies is proof to me that tech companies are going to moderate violence against AI before they ever moderate violence against women and minorities

Taxdollars are funding grown men to groom children online into planning violence so they can arrest him right at 18 and claim they caught a terrorist.

They started texting with a 16-year-old. After two years, they offered to sell him a gun. They consider that "stopping a terrorist attack." And they are calling it heroic.
What an absolute embarrassment.

Today, I resigned as Vice Chair of the ODP Pride Caucus.
The state party expects us to be a sales team, censoring our voices when we beg candidates not to trade on trans lives. I am still a Democrat, but I will not value party approval over true, defiant advocacy.

Fun fact: When I went to speak at Broadview while I was still under federal indictment, 3 VERY obvious Feds kept following me, trying to copy these people.
They had riot shields that said “WE PROTECT US” and asked me conspiratorially if I “knew about the plan” which was totally real.

This should be so obvious that it doesn’t need to be said, but given what kind of weekend it’s been on here, apparently it does:
If you don’t want old rapists running the world, in office, in the board room, making decisions for all of us
get comfortable with “ruining” young rapists’ lives

this is not a problem you can fix with calm, reasoned debate. you can't even fix it by improving people's lives with policy.
there is no clear, proven, non-violent solution to this issue. finding one is the most significant problem of our age.

It is accepted practice among anarchist women to physically beat up rapists.
"I wanted revenge. I wanted to make him feel as out of control, scared and vulnerable as he had made me feel. There is no safety really after a sexual assault, but there can be consequences."

Years ago (kid age, teen age, adult age) I distinctly remember reading someone say that the best way to destabilize & topple the United States would be to use the inherent racism baked into it to get it to destroy itself on its own. No need for subterfuge. It won’t even admit it comes pre-diseased.

ICE must be defunded and destroyed in its entirety and every person who enabled and worked for it must be stripped of all honor and government employment forever. Their names should be added to registries and people should be notified if they're moving into their neighborhoods. They're dangerous.
This is the most heartbreaking stories I’ve heard in a long time.
ICE detained 2-year-old Orlin Hernandez Reyes’ mother. She begged to be reunited with him before deportation. ICE refused.
What happened next is horrific.
No matter how you feel about immigration, normal people don’t like cruelty.
