Some guy said we'll all be doing manual jobs in the future because AI will do all the brainwork. Actually that says, AI isn't ready to do our manual tasks, perhaps will never be trained for it. It means humans are needed to feed the machine. The Minneapolis general strike says we still have power.

1. This short thread is about the issue that dominates almost every aspect of politics, and causes or exacerbates most of our problems: the extreme wealth of a small number of people. Here’s the amazing thing: almost the entire political class aligns with the ultra-rich against the rest. 🧵1/10

What we are seeing in Minnesota is what authoritarianism looks like in real time. Racism, dehumanization, and state-sanctioned violence are tearing at the foundation of this country.

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.

This could be you.

This is Renee Nicole Good, the 37 year old woman murdered by ICE in Minneapolis today

She was a wife, mother & a fellow writer

She was shot point blank in the head as she was attempting to drive away from armed masked thugs

Say her name. Share her photo. Do not let ICE & DHS control the narrative

How the nyt used the Cass report to restart its anti-trans propaganda campaign in the US:
Coverage of the report was initially assigned to a nyt UK correspondent, usual practice for a UK report. The story being prepared cited critics who called Cass a shoddy, political document that defied science
One reason the NYT has burned its credibility with trans people is that they still cite the discredited Cass report in reporting on trans healthcare. Never the German, Utah, or other systematic reviews supporting care. They also never provide the political context behind restrictions in care.

If you're not trans, I don't think I can fully explain how important this is.

It's so powerful that one of the most circulated science media publications in the world has come out and said "trans children are real and providing transition care improves their lives." That's groundbreaking.
The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.

And trans lives are grounded in reality.

We see y'all. No matter what.

First-of-a-kind study shows encouraging data for trans kids who socially transition
Ninety-four percent of participants in a new study stood firm in their trans identity after five years, and "detransitioning" is rare.

Are you all voting in the public consultation about the “earned settlement” proposal? Soon (April 2026), immigrants will be assessed on their character in order to earn the privilege of living in the UK - I am not exaggerating, these are the key concepts of the new law.
Character-based immigration.
Earned settlement
The government is consulting on how the current settlement system should be reformed and how those reforms should be implemented.
