A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...

Musk is America's largest welfare queen.

Wendy the Woke@nomorex61.bsky.social

Musk's companies have received an estimated $38 billion in government contracts, loans, subsidies, and tax credits since 2003. Musk has become the Worlds richest person on the backs of America’s tax payers. Now he uses the wealth to buy elections. #Sheshed apnews.com/article/russ...

If Musk is doing this with one of his companies, then he'll do it all his companies. Control/access of your data, your car, your brain implant - caveat emptor.

Simply imagine a Lockheed, Boeing or other prime defense contractor - out of nowhere, no communication - implementing some terms of service or term in a contract they think they have without reaching out first to say we think you are violating this. As a result we will nerf your crucial technology.

A RED STAR SHINES OVER BRAZIL! Lula is reelected! Brazilians managed to mobilize and beat Bolsonaro, Trump, Meta, Google, Netanyahu, media oligarchs, corrupt judges, fascism, imperialism, apathy and hatred! May this victory bring hope to all our comrades fighting across the world! We can beat them

“Cyclists are often perceived as recklessly flaunting road laws. A new study challenges this perception. The study found only 5% of cyclists broke road rules while riding on bike infrastructure versus 66% of motorists who broke rules while driving.” Safe bike infrastructure fuels rule-following.

Canada is actively reducing its reliance on Musk’s Starlink by heavily backing Telesat Lightspeed, a homegrown low-Earth-orbit satellite network. PM Carney confirmed that the initiative is driven by national security and sovereign control over critical communication infrastructure.

Elon Musk condemning Ukrainian use of Starlink for offensive operations after the illegal and unjustified invasion by Russia is exactly like condemning the maquisards for using the bushes against the Nazis.

Writers Guild speaks out about tech platforms squashing the @alexgibneyfilm doc about Elon Musk: “A small handful of billionaires now own virtually every major media company, news outlet, social media platform and are demonstrating how this unchecked concentration threatens democratic discourse.”

It feels like the *other* referendum questions are really not getting enough attention. Thousands came to Alberta believing in its open-arms ad campaigns. They've been stabbed in the back after settling in and building a life there.

Amy Acton could very easily sue for defamation. There's evidence. Being called a liar is libelous. Acton should get millions from her opponent. The announcement of the lawsuit will also make waves.

If you want to trigger Trump, just say anything negative about child molesters or sexual predators. His natural instinct is to fight anyone who speaks ill of pedophiles!

Whoever the hell gave the order to throttle Starshield/Starlink - whether Musk or the U.S. government - the service is unreliable during crucial operations. So: 1) Ukraine has the right to sue the company for damages and 2) get another service, with no penalty for breaking the contract

This explains a lot. Throughout history, across society & religion, empathy has been taught & seen as a virtue, a key to human decency, kindness, & the glue that binds people together. But in recent years, voices on the Christian right have led their flock astray by preaching that empathy is a vice.

From 2022 to 2024 Alberta ran a nationwide advertising campaign offering newcomers to the province up to $5000 in tax credits to move there Now they've turned around and told every single person who moved that they're no longer welcome in Alberta

Alberta literally sent the call for people to come and newcomers answered; only to now be blamed for everything.

Meta gave $1M to Trump's inauguration fund — and Mark Zuckerberg himsef has helped bankroll Trump's ballroom. Now Trump's DOJ has halted a years-long criminal investigation into allegedly enabling and profiting from illegal drug sales on its platforms. Funny how that works, huh?
