I've been saying it for almost 6 months now, but the Democratic should have a standing daily press conference where they bring forth yesterday's victims of ice.
Every single day we aren't putting a victim of ice in front of the media. We're losing a day

olurinatti.bsky.social was right then, and the saddest, most frustrating thing is that the Democrats show absolutely no indication that they've learned anything in the intervening 4 years.
"Rather than address why their voters are disenchanted with the party, Democrats are doing what they always do—ignoring, blaming and criticizing their base and progressives who elect them, in favor of pandering to fair-weather white moderates and conservatives who won’t."

Democrats need to listen to the left
If Democrats want their voters to show up for them in the midterms, they need to keep their campaign promises and cater to their base.

Cyanoacrylate Super/krazy glue was originally developed as a kind of instant liquid stitches for battlefield wound dressing, and only later was it used as a general purpose adhesive.
"Bonds skin instantly" is not a bug, it is a very highly engineered feature.

Can you think of examples where people use technologies differently from what the developers intended, whether unintentionally or as an act of resistance?

There are three issues in @zackpolanski.bsky.social’s piece
1. Exposing how transphobic this Labour “government” is.
2. Showing his support for trans people when we need it.
3. Exposing the Starmer regime’s dishonesty; how they pretend to be constrained by the Supreme Court when they are not.

i agree that legal identity should not be gatekept by medical transition—whether hormonal or surgical—but framing that issue as one of validity does nothing short of actively downplay the harm caused by targeted attacks on transgender healthcare

"you don't need hormones to be trans" does not comfort any trans person who has been denied access to hormones and only serves to speak over their needs and frame them as responsible for wanting to be comfortable in their own bodies

There is no part of the Trump project that Labour isn't enthusiastically pursuing, with the exception that rather than building new camps we are either repurposing military bases or sending people to other nations for holding.

Brits lesser evil-ed Starmer into power and in the UK we now have the erosion of trans and disability rights, an arming of genocide, a ramping up of anti immigration rhetoric in Labour circles, widespread facial ID, etc etc

The same people that cheer shows like Andor can’t agree with us that caging kids in concentration camps and police murdering people without cause is just wrong.
But swear we’re doing ‘leftism’ wrong b/c moral clarity in real life makes them uncomfortable.

Still just hard for me to grasp how they ignore that every great Black leader they reference was far to the left of Democrats.
Like, I know it’s cognitive dissonance…but you really have the nerve to talk down to us when you can’t even align politically with the heroes you champion??
It’s shameful.
