the media only treats us empathetically if we die tragically.
contrast this with their treatment of dr. upton.

I’m glad that the BBC has covered the story of Eden Knight which I also reported on a couple of years ago. They’ve conclusively shown that the Saudi government had a hand in her death by suicide. youtu.be/TFqa-KaMOS0?...

Social progress will always end with us.
Every time it’s our turn, every time the idea of our rights reaches mainstream, cis people’s Hitler particles will always activate in response.

Saying "this is a distraction" in response to anti-trans attacks without actually pushing back on the attacks is exactly what Kamala Harris did in response to anti-trans attacks during her campaign. That sure worked out well! 🙃
Sarah McBride: "It is an attempt to distract ... Every single time we hear them say the word 'trans,' look what they're doing with their right hand. Look at what they're doing to pick the pocket of American workers, to fleece seniors by privatizing Social Security and Medicare."

The editorial board of 'The Washington Post' is saying out loud what many don't have the courage to say so straightforwardly: the ICC should be limited to serving as an instrument of Western interests.

Right now due to bluesky's popularity there's a confluence of malicious actors weaponizing the reporting system supported by accounts like libsofbluesky on twitter trying to smear the queer userbase.

This "banning people for merely interacting with the wrong account" thing is UNACCEPTABLE.
The radio silence is UNACCEPTABLE.
Targeting the people who made your site bearable is UNACCEPTABLE.
You have got to change how you go about this or your site is toast. I'm serious.

It's just pure hatred. Meanwhile, Dems are acting like this is about sports. More than 15k active duty troops could be immediately discharged. They could immediately lose all veterans and GI benefits depending on how they're discharged.

That is not what Threads is lmao.

Threads is an echo chamber on the left, Twitter on the Right, I hope this stays a sane normal place where some disagreement can be politely explored. Too much to ask??

This is entirely true. A lot of the high value posters have moved here, people who intelligently discuss important topics, report on news that major media outlets are often so slow on, and whats more... the trolls, hate comments, and slurs are a tiny fraction of what they are on Elon's twitter.
Others have noted it but I will too: The big reason Bluesky is so hot right now is that the people who add value to social media - the frequent posters in specific fields - are here now, talking to each other and creating the "spectator value" that draws users and attention.
Twitter’s heir apparent isn’t X or Threads — it’s Bluesky

They would just vote for whoever is most racist.
MAGA voters actually love progressive policies. They just don’t know it. This would be great for Democrats.
