The only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs don’t want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And that’s cowardly as shit.

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

I was tempted to pirate HP, curiosity and all that. But @jessiegender.bsky.social is right - think of the amount of times HBO commented on GOT leaks and downloads, just as an example. They DO track these things, and even that drives interest. Let this show die. Trans people deserve better.

Tough competition of course, but the Trump admin deciding that white South Africans are the only group of people on earth currently worthy of refugee status has to be the most overtly racist thing any administration has done in decades

Joe Flynn@chinajoeflynn.bsky.social

Hi folks. If you saw this, you know the administration plans to only accept white South Africans next year. Tomorrow is Congress's formal say before the determination is signed. Please check this brief thread on why I'd like you to speak out for the Afghan people still in limbo...

New whistleblower reports highlight horrific conditions at ICE facilities right here in Florida — in Miramar and Orlando — including black mold, overcrowding, and detainees sleeping on concrete floors or in chains. This is unacceptable. I'm demanding accountability and an end to these abuses.

I think an important framing here is ā€œCelebrities, your bottom line is far more dependent on public sentiment than the less visible, wealthier billionaires attempting to pull your strings. ā€œThey own brands. You are your brand. ā€œYou’ll always be the fall guy.ā€

Very disheartening to see more and more Dem politicians lean into anti trans positions and when trans people say "man, this sucks" they get swarmed by people yelling at them for handing elections to the GOP. Wish they had that energy for the politicians.

attacking trans people hurts dem politicians and that take is missing from this whole news cycle. dems attacking trans people makes it more likely you will lose, defending trans people makes it more likely they win I want democrats to win so they need to defend trans people

Any sweeping systemic change you want to make in the United States has to begin with adding seats to the Supreme Court in 2029. No major reform bill will survive the current court. No civil rights law, no anti-corruption law, no wealth tax, nothing.

Florida GarbagešŸŽƒ reposted

It's worth noting that this isn't a random number but a goal that would simply restore the court to an earlier norm in which there's one justice for each of the judicial circuits. We used to have nine, we now have thirteen. The people defending the current setup have the tougher case to make here.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Rep. James Clyburn says he supports expanding the Supreme Court: "13 is a pretty good number. A baker's dozen would be a good number to have on the Court."

My unasked for ā€œIs Rocky Horror Picture Show Problematic?ā€ take is: every performance of the movie I’ve ever seen has featured a consent talk beforehand If there’s a full tradition of depiction =\= endorsement for a work, then maybe the point becomes a little moot?
