I really wish we'd get more candidates running on justice and anti-corruption platforms.
As an atheist, I don't believe in an afterlife. The only justice that the people who have committed truly heinous acts face is what we, as a society, bring to them. It's long past time for the cruel to face it

speaking as a jew: aipac lies. most american jews strongly favor palestinian rights and dignity because "never again" means *never again to anyone" and netanyahu has committed war crimes treasonable to jewish morality, among others.
mamdani's victory is a victory for all of us in all of our ways.

Zohran Mamdani won NYC Mayor while unapologetically:
-Calling Israel's siege on Palestinians a genocide
-Upholding ICC's warrant to arrest Netanyahu
-Upholding BDS as a legitimate form of free speech
-Demanding Palestinian self-determination
-Securing a plurality of Jewish voters
This is the future

Just canceled my Disney+ subscription. I don't watch Jimmy Kimmel much. I don't watch much late night TV at all. But the current situation is bullshit.
I don't have much power, but I do have some say in who gets my money. And I encourage others to do the same.

My extremely minor claim to maybe fame (for the FF and MTG players):
Sometimes we get to participate in feedback reviews of cards at work. They'll give us some cards to review and give opinions on. The FFXIV Commander deck has a reprint of "Snuff Out". The feedback version was of Papylymo's death.

As protests gain momentum, it's important to recognize and call out COINTELPRO-style behavior
Many people who engage in this type of behavior aren't feds. They probably mean well. They are also engaging in behaviors that are so good at disrupting movements that the FBI literally weaponized them

Sounds a bit like conspiracy talk. Until you realize it's an acting Senator from CT, who is just explaining historical context.
Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.
No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.
1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

Are you someone who has questions about sex and gender, and wants to better understand how science and medicine support and accept the existence of transgender folks? Well, my all time favorite bio educator just put out a fantastic new video! Highly recommend.

Science bias vs non.
What *is* bias: Hundreds of years of naturalists underreporting homosexual, non-gender and opposite-gender behavior in animals by discounting them as "aberrations".
What is *not* bias: Studies on the differences between sex and gender, and recognizing trans as real.

Someone with skill at 3D printing needs to mock up a printable, 18-24 inch guillotine, and make that print file freely available to protestors.

Egg prices skyrocketing due to H5N1, and is the Dept of Ag even doing anything? Oranges sitting unpicked on trees in CA due to ICE raids scaring the pickers away. Coffee prices about to spike due to Trump's spite tarriffs on Colombia.

This makes *so much* sense to me, and seems like a viable explanation for a lot of the pro-Trump, Gen X/Gen Z misogyny.

The real conspiracy is convincing people not to trust doctors and scientists who've spent decades studying medicine, so that they can profit from clicks and views and selling horse meds and junk supplements.

As someone who's generally against the death penalty, I find that I'm pretty ambivalent, even admittedly pleased, with the United CEO murder. I've had to do some thinking on that.
