all my opinions are right [she/her]
Not as big a deal as it feels like tbh. Happens about half a dozen times a year in the US. Semi-easily treated these days with antibiotics.

USA gonna be facing a level of brain drain seen only rarely in human history
I can't stress enough how close U.S. science is to the cliff.

"Numbers released in May by the National Science Foundation (NSF) indicate that if Congress approves the cuts to the agency proposed by the White House, the number of early-career researchers it supports could fall by 78%" (@science.org)
‘It’s a nightmare.’ U.S. funding cuts threaten academic science jobs at all levels
“There is a lot of pressure to essentially leave the country or not pursue research,” one Ph.D. student says

trans rights are a winning issue. ending the genocide in palestine is a winning issue. rent reduction, free transit, lower cost of groceries. these are the things the average person can get behind, yet the democrats refuse to acknowledge it

Something the Mamdani win demonstrates is the extent to which the reigning cadre of ancient, establishment, centrist Dems think it’s more important to be on good terms with their GOP colleagues than it is to represent their own voters, and how thoroughly sick of this literally everyone is.

it disgusts me the national democratic party barely pushes back at this attempt from the right to wind back LGBTQ rights decades after claiming to be the party of LGBTQ rights

Can y'all believe it was still less than a year ago that he was this sad lil guy we all fell in love with? Now he's happier than a pig in shit and brightening up our worlds on the daily. To be loved is, indeed, to be changed, and we all love Mr Fishtopher to the moon and back again. 🤎

I hate the dem party but as someone who also likes to ignore problems until they become unfixable and then try to blame someone else for them, I can't say I don't understand

The fact that “fascists shouldn’t feel safe” is considered a ‘radical’ position is an alarming indictment of liberalism.

People whose politics is the harm and death and genocide of non-white straight Christian men should not be welcome in our society. That should not be controversial.

So I have this theory that the reason conservatives think any gender nonconformity is automatically a sex thing is because they don't see women as people, just as sex objects.

Therefore the only reason they can see anyone "wanting" to be womanly is to get more sex.

It's a confession.

The Post's own poll found the exact opposite of what they plastered across the front page. Absolutely journalistic malpractice that should cost multiple people their jobs. https://parkerm.co/wapoantitrans

the really crazy thing about that weird situation
isnt banning the nazi politicians an even greater imperative
Remember when Twitter whistleblowers said they had a way to mass-ban all the Nazis but they didn't wanna do it because it would also ban some elected Republicans?

BlueSky should not have the same hesitation.

The response should be "don't skeet like a Nazi and you won't get banned."
