Passages getting an NC-17 rating for having one of the lead characters be a bisexual dude with VERY little pushback or criticism towards the MPA was a tell, imo. Admittedly, I’m a bit biased because I myself am bisexual, but I’d say the same thing if I wasn’t.
There has been a noticeable reticence in left and liberal circles to voice full-throated support for pornography, even as it's become increasingly clear what the open end goals of the censorship movement are
In a lot of ways other leftists chose this path folks. They shrugged and didn’t care when Patreon banned a ton of hypnosis and TF creators, or when YouTube started their ASMR crackdown. Now it’s coming for queer porn creators, more and more. Who will stand up?

The stat that blows my mind is that Israel killed more civilians in the first week after October 7 than Hamas has killed since it was founded 40 years ago
worth noting that, for the number of deaths of children on & since the 7th of october, a ratio of 5:50 is actually disproportionately in favour of israeli kids.

We’ve come to accept that there’s a crisis among young men. But “you can just as easily argue on the behalf of a woman crisis as a man crisis—or, perhaps most accurately, for an ongoing multidirectional crisis affecting us all,” Jessica Winter writes. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/LgnYm_

Absolutely fucking not.
SCHUMER is on the floor now making this offer to end the shutdown:
Clean CR
Bipartisan "minibus" of approps bills
1-year ACA funding extension
Bipartisan cmte to negotiate on health care
"This is a reasonable offer that reopens the government, deals with health care affordability."

Read this thread. This is what @katmabu.bsky.social was protesting, and why she repeatedly says getting beaten up by ICE outside is nothing compared to the torture and crimes being committed inside Broadview. These thugs must be held to account.
A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

There were a lot of things that USAID did which weren’t at all good (ex: playing a significant role in supporting Brazil’s military dictatorship). With that being said, the dismantling of it was/is/will forever be catastrophic.
One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc
