Also, ayo @jay.bsky.team and the BlueSky team, if you’re gonna permaban Link and Palestinian aid accounts, it’s not a good look if you also don’t ban government accounts engaged in obvious violations of the Hatch Act, which is an actual federal law.

You can tell that Seattle is a real city because they have big companies like Amazon, whose corporate headquarters is essentially an extension of the highway on-ramp

Yuuuuup. Also, I don't give a shit if some of the worst people in the world think I am being performative or am virtue signaling. Fuck 'em. They don't get to tell me how to be.
Anyway, trans rights are human rights, y'all. It's not complicated.

To my fellow cishet dudes: when we are quiet about supporting the trans community, the only voices anyone hears are the Charlie Kirks of the world. Don't let accusations of being "performative" or "virtue signaling" shut you up - that's their whole point. Our voices are needed now more than ever.

I will never, ever vote for Gavin Newsom. Ever, under any circumstances. I don't care if he becomes the Dem nominee, he's still not getting my vote.
On a recent podcast Gavin Newsom tells Shawn Ryan how the Trans sports issue opened the door for him to change his mind on GAC for Trans Youth.
As someone who adored him since 2004 and voted for him 5 times, I can't wait for him to leave office.
There is no way I will be voting for him a 6th time.

The cruelty of this is, genuinely, staggering. This is a policy that saves virtually no money whatsoever whose success is measured in the number of children it kills.
Breaking: The Trevor Project received a stop-work order last night on its contract with the national 988 suicide prevention hotline. The Trump administration is eliminating the option for LGBTQ callers to the hotline to press 3 and connect with someone who specializes in LGBTQ mental health.

Bring back *everyone* who was sent from the U.S. to CECOT in El Salvador. *No one* should be sent there. ALL their rights were violated. ALL of them should come home.

This is the bare minimum. They were all sent illegally, they all need to be brought back immediately. Are you listening @cantwell.senate.gov and @murray.senate.gov ?
Also I hope we're all on this same page
EVERYONE needs to be brought out of that El Salvadorian hell hole
they were ALL wrongfully deported.
I mean it's good to focus on 'And this guy was here legally and not ever a gang member AND they're Venezuelan'
but NO ONE should've been sent there

This is the fundamental point of agreement between the American gentry class (car dealers, fast food franchise owners) and the Silicon Valley tech elite: Workers should have less power, the economy can be worse overall, but I myself should have more power to decide what happens.

I think it has more to do with you might get locked up for absolutely no reason at all and then flown to El Salvador to die in prison even though a judge said you should be released
International travelers concerned about President Donald Trump’s trade policies and bellicose rhetoric have been canceling trips to the United States, depriving the U.S. tourism industry of billions of dollars at a time when the economy has started to appear wobbly.
Nervous about Trump, international tourists scrap their U.S. travel plans
International tourists are canceling plans to visit the United States, with Canadians leading the way.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.
Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.
Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.
TODAY is the showdown.

okay, so, the thing is, the orderly, civil, and negotiated process by which unions strike is the compromise position and if you give up the compromise position, you give up the orderly, negotiated, civil parts of the bargain
Trump already empowering the worst bosses to just.. ignore labor law.
Whole Foods workers won their union vote, and now Whole Foods (owned by Jeff Bezos) is saying they simply won't recognize the vote because nobody is going to make them.

the only people who benefit from this are child predators and i'd like dem officials to say so into a microphone
New — The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) was told this week by DOJ that they'd lose their funding if the org didn't remove any mentions of LGBTQIA+ issues from their public materials, I've learned. Staff were told they need to deadname trans kids in their reports to comply.
