Also most millennial men didn't have a "Nazi phase" (JFC), we had a "one of the cast members in 'Batman Forever' is doing something for me" phase.

I'm so sick of discourse from supposed allies about where trans people went wrong.

Where we "went wrong" is that billionaires spent unimaginably large sums to attack us repeatedly and major media outlets have spent a decade piling on.

Israel’s destruction of 1 million olive trees in Gaza is ecocide — & further evidence of genocidal intent.

We urge the ICC & ICJ to investigate these war crimes and hold the Israeli gov’t accountable. tinyurl.com/2mft7fsh

If Brianna was alive today, his government wouldn’t recognise her right to be herself. Can’t teach about people like her in school. Block her access to healthcare. Very soon stop her accessing women’s spaces.

Take her name out of your mouth. Your party is an enemy and direct threat to trans people
Meeting yesterday with Brianna Ghey's mother Esther - and pupils at Brianna's former school - was a powerful reminder of why controls on social media and smartphone use in schools is so important for children, teachers and parents. (1/2)

The @nytimes.com decided last year what the story was; Trump II was the righteous punishment visited upon their interns and junior staffers and grandchildren for being so annoying about MeToo and BLM, and once they understood that and repented, they could have democracy back.
Just insane thing for a NYT editor to say publicly:

billionaires should not be allowed to exist because the downside of "one of them loses their mind" is simply too dangerous for a functional society

also, having a billion dollars tends to make you lose your mind
The whole point of democracy is so one person's derangement does not become everybody's problem. It's social hygiene. The fact the richest men in the West are a mix of grotty twelve year olds and deranged apocalypse fanatics is a problem, and we should be honest about it.

"Anything we can actually do, we can afford." We can have a more equal, more prosperous, and more just nation as soon as we embrace this.
Keynesianism is like Ozempic in that it's something that works but makes people mad because they want moral hazard to be involved
There’s a certain kind of person who thinks Keynesian stimulus is “putting off” a necessary correction and I’m always amazed how many of them there are.

The White House is part of the National Park Service & protected by Section 106 of the Historic Preservation Act of 1966.

Don't get me wrong: I do not care about the building. I care that this act states he is above the law & the people. It has the same message as his AI fighter jet shitpost.
I can't really explain fully why this is the thing of all things that got my jaw on the floor but I guess it's such a literal symbol and also such a jaw dropping amount of money while small businesses are struggling to survive the tariffs

Such a visible "go fuck yourself"
Scoop: Trump has started demolishing the White House's East Wing facade to build his ballroom. The president had claimed construction of the $250 million building wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure. /W @ddiamond.bsky.social wapo.st/4hqBNiU

No joke, the ballroom gets turned into a community center/soup kitchen/free clinic.
I hope, should we ever get a sane President again, they tear down this stupid ballroom and begin a White House restoration project to undo all the shit Trump did to it.

"43% drop in peanut allergies"

Good example of how science evolves.

And "how a public health recommendation can change children’s health.”

And how good research (support, pls) informs policy.
