The below to me is the greatest encapsulation of why it is morally justified to reject Trump supporters as friends or treat them as monsters.
I *can't* care what your reason was... intent and impact are two separate things. Intent DOES NOT mitigate impact where human rights are involved.

The GOP's "healthcare plan" was repealing the ACA. Now they're mad about subsidies they enabled while blocking public options and boosting junk plans?
If they truly want to take on insurers, next stop: universal healthcare.

“And I just say, ‘You know, it’s hard for me to care about Riley Gaines tying for fifth when my swim coach is accused of raping my teammates.”
An incident in a locker room has always been key to Riley Gaines’ anti-trans fame.
But @msjpauly.bsky.social spoke to swimmers who were present at the same 2022 meet. They shared a very different narrative.

How right-wing superstar Riley Gaines built an anti-trans empire
The swimmer tied a trans woman for fifth. The MAGA industrial complex took care of the rest.

The point of having a standards editor is that you bring in a skilled, disinterested person to read or watch a story and point out possible bias, errors and lapses.
The actual story editors can miss those things because they're so closely tied to the production and reporting of the piece.

i find myself being extra brutally honest about who we are as a country to counter the cloying hagiography about how we're better than this. 1/2
The description of the US as a "cruel and carceral nation" is spot on. If we are to ever move forward, we need to stop saying "this is not who we are." It's exactly who we are and have always been. The sooner we accept that, the sooner we can make actual meaningful change to this fucked up system.

🧵We already knew that the Finland basic income experiment resulted in slightly increased employment, significantly increased trust in people and institutions, and a pro-democracy increase in voting, but now we know it also reduced psychotropic drug use and increased total earned income by about 10%.
A NEW study of the Finland basic income experiment just dropped. Turns out psychotropic drug use decreased by 8 %–11 %, and incomes increased on average by 9% to 11% due to people not losing the income when they accepted a job, unlike traditional unemployment.

Wow. Greg Bovino admits on camera that his agents can detain people if you look scared, change your demeanor, or grip a steering wheel too tight.
As his unmasked agents walk around with large guns to scare you, they may arrest you just for that — even if you're a U.S. citizen.

Misrepresenting testimony and evidence to a grand jury to secure an indictment is a lot easier to do in that setting since there is no defense lawyer present to challenge it, but it is a pretty perilous road for Lindsey Halligan to go down right after her predecessor resigned.
