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.

the reason “AI will create so much abundance we will have a utopian society” rhetoric falls so flat is that the people building it will never, ever share their bounty unless it is taken from them and we all know it

1,720 people died while experiencing homelessness in the UK last year... 💔 ​That includes 50 children. ​Since 2017, over 10,000 people have died without a secure place to call home. This isn’t a housing statistic — it is a national scandal. www.bigissue.com/news/housing...

1,700 people died while homeless in 2025. It's a 'national scandal'
Museum of Homelessness’s annual homeless deaths count found a 6.8% increase in a year. It's a warning for Andy Burnham’s pledge to end rough sleeping

Surrounded by police in a Penryn bus shelter for making breakfast with a butter knife. ​When survival tasks like eating become a police matter, the system isn't failing—it's working exactly as designed to push homeless people out of sight. 🧵

Worth noting, as Macklemore was banned by NFL owners in what will be dubbed "fighting antisemitism", that Kanye, who - sold merch with swastikas - said on Alex Jones that he idolizes Hitler - tweeted he was "going Defcon 3 on Jewish people" is currently on a multi-city tour of NFL stadiums

I would 100% support a law that says if any digital platform removes your access to media you paid for then they are required to refund you the entirety of the original purchase price. That would solve this whole thing in a hurry.

Tim Curry in Clue is the most mesmerizing comedic performance I've ever seen in a movie. He's in Home Alone 2 for just 6 minutes and steals the whole thing. A joy to watch in any role he played no matter the genre.

i think the big data center backlash has a lot to do with technology getting worse, costing more, building a surveillance state, destroying the environment, owned by a class of wealthy elite that coalesced behind the fascist regime that made clear they’d sacrifice humanity for their own power growth

Trump issued his anti-homeless Executive Order one year ago. It's not a coincidence that DC, a historically Black city where the vast majority of unhoused people are Black, is where Trump first began testing his cruel and ineffective anti-homeless order. buff.ly/Yz2JSlF
