Let's go, Sam Forstag! That's how you stand up for trans people on the national stage. If congressional candidates in western Montana—one of the most competitive House races in the entire country—can stand up for trans folks in every aspect of our lives, democrats everywhere should take note.

How many Democratic elected officials and candidates need to be murdered, raped, or have their house burned down before we have a “national conversation about political violence on the right?”

worth remembering that today is also the anniversary of the US backed coup in Chile that overthrew democratically elected socialist Salvador Allende and replaced him with the brutal dictator Augusto Pinochet, who murdered thousands of communists and leftists and jailed tens of thousands

Is it a big deal that the U.S. president is telling insane lies that he personally rushed to the site of 9/11 and heroically acted like a first responder himself? Sorta seems like it should be! Maybe?

I don't think everyone needs to use AI. I don't think it's good that AI is being shoved everywhere when it's not wanted or asked for. But I don't find the complete hatred of all AI tools productive or helpful to building a better internet. And others appear to be feeling the same thing.

So much of the thinking in academia right now is that soon, the chuds will be gone and things will be back to the way they were before. But undoing the damage the GOP has inflicted in this last 18 months will take a decade, if not more.

There’s nothing to talk about today other than what’s just occurred in the Prairieland case. An unfathomable abuse of power at the hands of a judge dead set on aligning himself with the other disgusting fascist enablers of history’s past. A history lesson for the judge; repression fuels resistance.

Sharing my Wikipedia accidental find of the morning. (Wanted to find out how old Richard Dawkins is (85) and about 3 clicks brought me here. Ancestor of one of his ex-wives)
Mary Ward (née King; 27 April 1827 - 31 August 1869) was an Irish naturalist, astronomer, microscopist, author, and artist. She was killed when she fell under the wheels of an experimental steam car built by her cousins. As the event occurred in 1869, she is the first person known to have been killed by a motor vehicle. note
