I will always not regret walking away from the skeptic movement. And yeah, Rebecca was among the (if not THE) first to call out the BS from so many of its stars.
From the comments: "[T]o be mentioned TWICE as a thorn in the side of pedos. That’s a badge of honor I’d wear everyday.
RebeccaWatsonRules"

To be called "a rather nasty young woman," by Richard Dawkins is another badge of honor.

@skepchick.org, always right about these heinous creatures.

Thank God feminism was unnecessary
ohhhhhh okay so what we've learned from the epstein mail drop is that the entirety of the fascistic culture war since the 2010s onward was basically wholesale consolidated through the anglosphere bourgeois old boys club network of pedophile rapists
So apparently I was right to shittalk m00t this week because it's been revealed that his boneheaded decision to establish /pol/ and subsequently ruin the website was allegedly born out of a one-on-one meeting with Jeffery Epstein.

Staff at a Twin Cities yarn store put together a pattern for a red knit “Melt the ICE” hat inspired by the Norwegian resistance.

They thought they would attract 10 people to a weekly knit-along.

They’ve sold 70,000 copies, raising more than $250k for immigrant aid groups.

Is Elon a pedo? We couldn't say.

Did Elon repeatedly try to invite himself to Epstein's pedo island 5 years after Epstein served time and registered as a sex offender? Yep, he sure did.

Do people who aren't pedos beg to party on pedo island? 🤔 #TeslaTakedown
NEW: Elon Musk has insisted that Jeffrey Epstein invited him to the notorious island and he declined. But new emails show the opposite -- Musk was practically begging to party with Epstein in the Caribbean, years after Epstein's sex convictions were public knowledge

The weather is crazy here right now but Chicago always shows up!
It's near-white out conditions in Chicago as the snow comes down, and tonight's anti-ICE/CBP rally is wrapping up in front of city hall.

But not before the crowd bounces and chants, "I believe that we will win!"

The Economist magazine, with a world-wide audience, steps in hard against Trump/Noem’s violent embarrassment of our country with ICE’s goon-squad behavior. It’s remarkable, and sad, that Trump’s America looks like this to the world.
ICE’s impunity is a formula for more violence
Is America’s president building his own paramilitary militia?

Last year, I went to Cambodia to explore Nike's claim that it pays factory workers 1.9X the minimum wage on average. It wasn't true there.

My reporting partner, @matthewkish.bsky.social, went to Indonesia and asked ~100 workers whether they earn 1.9X. None did. Said one union official: "Bullshit."

This. They are turning the wealth the American people have created over generations into cash for their own dirty pockets. It’s obscene.
MAGA people lining up wanting the taxpayers to give them money. Trump wants $10 billion. Lindsey wants $1 million. J6ers want money. Farmers want money. Of course CEOs want their contracts,
subsidies & tariff waivers. It’s griftapalooza at taxpayer expense for the gangsters.

“Defund ICE or we’ll close the airports and the coast guard” is a better rallying cry than “Defund ICE or we’ll starve disabled people and kick patients off life saving clinical trials.” That’s why separating DHS out is important.

I don't think people understand that if you shut down the government, ICE and CBP do NOT shut down. They're funded by supplemental money from the BBB. That's why dems are separating the DHS funding bill and asking for restrictions. I want them to demand a rescission of that funding or shut DHS down
