On the most recent @cancelmedaddy.bsky.social, @laurelpowell.net recounted the story of the first anti-trans bathroom campaign. I went and found the actual ad and yes the cartoon transphobic caricature they used is just as bigoted as you could imagine.

To understand as to why Latinos for Trump ignored Black people and our warning about him leading up to the 2024 election, this sister nails it. And, to be clear, not all Latinos feel this way, but the anti-Blackness is what got us where we are today.

Dark enlightenment & other crazy Thiel pet projects are unfolding. It's critical that people understand that the brownshirts hacking the entire USA infrastructure and dismantling it are his and Elon minions. Thiel sees himself as some sort of Saruman, while he fondles his Palantír.
What’s happening now is part of a plan to end democracy:

“It is clear that Thiel sees corporations as the governments of the future and capitalists such as himself as the kings, and it is also clear that this is a shockingly common view in Thiel’s cohort.”

I mean I have been enraged about this topic for a while, but I had also never actually figured out how they calculate the poverty line.

I am legitimately speechless.
We have a “poverty trap” and it’s driving the destruction of social cohesion.

The “poverty line” is’t 35,000, it’s $150,000, and making more than one, and less than the other is worse than being “poor”.

Which is why the rage.

This is not just a current political issue. Charging & punishing these particular perpetrators is vital to keeping the fight against the ongoing abuse & killing of women & children by men in the spotlight. "Me Too" was only a start.

Historian Rutger Bregman is a well-respected proponent of a universal basic income. The Guardian has called him “the Dutch wunderkind of new ideas.”

The BBC invited Bregman to give this year’s Reith Lecture series.

Before airing, the BBC removed one sentence from his lecture, “A Time of Monsters.”

It will be hard.

But we’ll only be able to move on from this if we hold those responsible to account for what they allowed to happen here.

We must have trials.
We must have sentences.

We must reckon with the truths of America’s sins if we’re to create a new American future.
