Great to see @zackpolanski.bsky.social on @skynewsrss.bsky.social this morning standing up for trans people.
It’s clear that Trevor Phillips was trying to trap Zack by not giving him all the facts! Martine Croxall not only eye rolled, she changed a direct quote - unethical for a journalist!

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

Your periodical reminder that, however absurd, unjust and nakedly corrupt the current White House persecution of John Bolton is, he really is a terrible, terrible person.
"In June 2020, John Bolton, National Security advisor at the time, published in a book that Trump said that invading Venezuela would be "cool" because It is "really part of the United States."
the problem with this framing, each and every time, is that you are presuming a form of restraint and control that is largely absent from the entire history of American foreign intervention. In the few instances where it did occur, e.g. Libya, you still then must ignore its immediate consequences.
