One of the great untold and most massively important stories of this moment is that the Right Wing authoritarian movement is predicated on abused people fighting like hell to make sure that abuse and trauma continue forward and even accelerates.

It's about hurting kids and ruining their lives.
My experience as well. So far we're 2-for-2 on kids having a largely bullying/abuse-free middle school experience. Not without bumpy spots of course, but light years away from what I endured.

My hot take: the anti-bullying stuff has really worked, which is why conservatives are pushing back at it.
for what it’s worth I got roped into helping out with my sixth grader’s extracurricular thing so I’ve had more recent contact with middle schoolers who aren’t mine than I usually do, and biased sample/biased reviewer/etc but my verdict is that the kids are all right

Clinton has a long history of taking action to violate Palestinians’ humanity and human rights and repress those in the U.S. who speak out for Palestinian rights. As a senator, she backed numerous pieces of legislation seeking to further entrench Israel’s occupation of Palestine.

IDIC means celebrating all facets of humanity and ensuring peace, safety and support so we can all manifest our greatest selves. Denying trans people this right is in direct violation of Star Trek’s ethics and core values. Violence against the trans community must end.

Devastating thread, and this can happen where you live:⬇️
We wrote this to help you imagine how quickly a city can change under Trump…

Charlotte was once a place of slow, easy mornings, coffee cups clinking in cozy cafés, jazz drifting through open doors on Tryon Street, families stepping onto the light rail with strollers and soccer bags.

Thanks to Heather and Matthew for such a wide ranging conversation where we covered the Montgomery Bus Boycott, the Red Scare, Star Trek’s challenge to McCarthyism, and socialism 🎉

I believe the reason was "make content."
NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find:

- NONE of the arrested were criminally charged
- NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists."
- ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

Truly wonderful news!⬇️
Local media is calling it: Katie Wilson will be the next mayor of Seattle.

Wilson ousts Mayor Bruce Harrell after running as a progressive challenger.

Her win is a west coast companion to Mamdani’s as a statement victory for the left.

A reminder that this anti-trans panic is 100% bullshit and exactly none of our country’s problems are related to someone expressing their gender identity and everyone who isn’t a hate-filled weirdo knows it.

None of the 8 Senators are up for election, that's how you know that Schumer put this all together himself. He not only needs to be removed as our leader, he needs to be removed from office. And the blood is on their hands for every American who dies because they can't afford their insurance.

This is a nightmare, honestly. A growing unchecked army of violent bigoted brownshirts bragging about hurting people. And this is just the stuff we see, that we know. There's certainly much worse waiting to be learned.

“They want you to get mad at the trans child who wants to play sports so that you don’t pay attention to the billionaires who want to pick your pocket.”
i’d also say that the GOP’s obsession with this gives candidates an opportunity to articulate and stand up for their values. “i refuse to make anyone feel like they don’t belong in my [state/city/community]. and i want everyone to live the best life they can achieve [insert policy slogan]”
I am taking particular pleasure in the complete collapse of trans-as-unbeatable-wedge-issue narrative this morning. It might be an 80-20 issue in voters minds, but it has to be on voters minds to matter. The results in VA demonstrate that it is very much not on voters minds.

You don’t have to mourn war criminals. You don’t have to issue condolences to their families.
You don’t have to launder their legacies.

Save your grief for the innocents they killed, maimed or tortured without ever seeing justice served to their executioners.

90% of the job of teaching is figuring out how to motivate and engage students and manage the classroom.

No AI or computer will ever be able to do any of that.
