If Sadiq Khan is a trans ally, why is he allowing JK Rowling’s Harry Potter to take over the Christmas lights in Oxford Circus? Email him now and ask him to pull the plug on transphobia. goodlaw.social/e1ae3f

Bush didn't hit 32 percent approval until he left office. Trump is already there, three months before the midterms. The last time we saw numbers like these, Democrats won both chambers of Congress. Let's make sure they do.

It is worth mentioning, even with physical cartridges or discs, you *don't* own your games. You purchase a software license. Not supporting Sony's move to the digital-only hellscape or Nintendo's horrific key carts, but worth remembering. Games are still proprietary - you buy permission to play.

One suspects they meant “laid off”, but Microsoft did fuck them over, so it’s pretty apt.

On Thursday, the Trump regime forced out the three remaining members of the Election Assistance Commission — effectively ending it. You need to see this as part of Trump’s overall strategy to take over the midterm elections some 90 days from now. Here's what we can do about it.
