I would simply not have made a career out of promoting nazi's and their beliefs, b/c I am built different.

yearly reminder to people insisting that we view Christopher Columbus as "a man of his time" that *the people responsible for the Spanish Inquisition* thought Columbus was out of pocket

Thomas Lecaque @tlecaque.bsky.social · 1d

Christopher Columbus was dragged back to Spain in chains by a crusading knight, convicted of tyranny and immeasurable cruelty, pardoned by Isabella but banned from returning to Hispaniola.

Fuck Columbus.

Paxton is again being anti-science twat. Hospitals want transplant patients to be vaccinated against COVID-19 (among other things) because people are immune-compromised after transplantation and easily can die of disease, wasting a precious organ. He would rather people die and organs be wasted.

Ken Paxton gave the hospital an Oct. 27 deadline to provide a written explanation of steps the hospital is taking to ensure its policies are in line with state law. bit.ly/4olSTRd

"YA Fiction" as a category should not exist, mostly b/c it just generates terrible movies.

one thing that has been obvious for a while is this aspect of the authoritarian internationale: they recognize that their allies abroad are not *countries* but *political movements* within foreign countries.

time we liberals woke up and recognized this--because it's the truth.

Or maybe, just maybe, what was obvious in 2024 was correct: Netanyahu fully backed Trump and would not deal with Biden because Trump would give him a free hand to escalate the starvation, bombing, and do full ethnic cleansing. Which he then did, until Netanyahu embarrassed him by bombing Qatar.

given the current environment, continuing to be vehemently anti-crypto is borderline if not fully transphobic. i know, surprise surprise, not every use of crypto is for money making scams

Hhard disagree. DHS should have a massive crash out over Chappell Roan. It should be such a massive crash out that it spills over into daytime television and into the president's own public appearances. Don't give up, Mr. President! You must fight Chappell Roan with what little time you have left!

Newsom vetoes both the PreP access and the HRT stockpile bill because he is worried it would increase healthcare costs...

He claims to support the aims of these bills. But the vetoes deny access to medical care for queer people.

(Context: He vetoed these 2 while signing 8 other queer rights bills)

He also signed SB 590, which bolsters paid family leave.
