The Trump administration proposed a rollback of federal protections for endangered species. A draft rule from the Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) seeks to eliminate the current interpretation of “harm” under the Endangered Species Act.

There's simply no ethical way to support Harry Potter in 2025. It's not possible. $0.20 from every dollar you give JK Rowling goes directly to physically harming a trans person and that's not a joke or an exaggeration.

There are better fantasy books out there that don't fund harmful bullshit. Idc if it's a "comfort series." You can do better than reading a series about how an orphan becomes a cop while breaking all the rules and shit.

This is profoundly, the most disturbing story I've ever read. Elon Musk believes his children are a legion and he needs to make as many babies as possible before the apocalypse.
He has a breeding fetish mixed with a messianic doomsday cult obsession.

That's what y'all get, tbh, because you hopped aboard the train late as hell. It's not about THOUGHT policing, it's about ACTUAL policing, which is why they started all of this with Queer and Black people; because they knew y'all wouldn't bat an eye. 💀💀💀

The key difference between this dumb giggling cruelty and e.g. JD Vance saying Wokeness has gone too far, or Wes Streeting saying we need to massacre a sacred cow every day til we’re up to our knees in blood, is that there is no difference. It is all the same shit at varying voltage and intensity.

What the hell happened to people in this country? When did we all become cowering idiots in the face of injustice & war? We are not our grandfather's descendants who bravely fought in the beaches, the air & in the streets. We should be ashamed but sadly we're not. The power & money is too strong.

Every decent, thinking person should be furious. This is state-sanctioned abuse masquerading as science.
Trump and RFK Jr. just handed a government vaccine study to a man who practiced unlicensed medicine on autistic kids, pushed banned, dangerous treatments, and lied about vaccines.
