There's so much to unpack in this .... but I think I can pretty much summarise it with: Big tech companies are forcing their way ahead with space-based dominance, with very little consideration for environmental impacts. This is nothing new. However, this looks more serious. 🧵👇

The Epstein emails show he literally advised *all* these freaks, over decades, up til his death, on how to use transphobia as a wedge to make their expected victims more vulnerable Dems could have just not accepted Epstein's framing of trans rights as an essential part of being viewed as electable

looting the kennedy center feels like a thing that should be a bright red line, but i doubt this will really get any sort of sustained coverage. it will be interesting to see what, if anything, will be left in 2029, in terms of public assets. they’re going to steal everything they possibly can

Pete is lost in terms of modern war. I use the example of this outgunned Ukrainian army officer who successfully terrorized a Russian unit for weeks because she "did the math." At the time, someone commented, "yeah, in combat, 'I did the math' beats 'I can do 100 pushups' every time."

Ukrainian female soldier: Okay, I said the idea is this: There is enough time to empty one full can of 32 grenades and be gone by the time the return mortar fire reaches us. I did the math.

Emma Goldman once said that if voting changed anything, it would be illegal. But the necessary corollary to that is the most important votes ARE the ones they try to make illegal. Those are the votes that most matter - because they CAN change things.

Are they threatening trans users directly?
No. Trans folks in the US have been targeted repeatedly. That's awful and you have my sympathy.
Within the context of a single post we wouldn't consider it a direct threat or targeting a protected category. le send trans folks to concentration camps.
