Or try: “Of course character is on the ballot. Character determines your values and what policies you support. Character predicts if you’ll show up when the going gets tough. And character determines if you can be trusted. A leader’s character should reflect the character of the people they serve.”

Lisa McClain lied about Abdul El-Sayed wanting free healthcare—he wants universal healthcare funded by our tax dollars. Dr. El-Sayed is fighting for a policy that would cost him money personally, and that's what integrity actually looks like.

It's so fucked up that psychology classified queerness as various kinds of mental illnesses with no supporting empirical evidence for decades, but has never considered hoarding extreme amounts of wealth as at least a *potential* symptom of mental illness. Especially given [gestures broadly].

If this is a genuine tweet by Pete Hegseth, then @mark-carney.bsky.social should reach out to these young women immediately. They deserve celebration, not denigration. And they need to know the Canadians have got their back.

It says a lot about Bill Maher’s character that no matter how talented, accomplished, transformative, impactful, empathetic, charitable, and generous a woman is, she can - in his estimation - be reduced to her body parts.

You know who else has an unfair advantage in sport? Naturally talented athletes. And people with high hemoglobin. And rich people with money for sports camps and coaches. Why should they be allowed to compete? “Fairness in sports” my ass. Never since NFTs have I heard such bullshit.

I posted this as a comment on another long and lovely thread. But @ringobunnyman.bsky.social pointed out that everyone should see this film, and I agree. And so, I am linking it here as well. It is, to my mind, the best film about 9/11. youtu.be/bp2Qd8iT0dI

Let’s be clear- eyed and honest about what’s happening. The US sabotaged the talks at the last minute. The Trump administration needs the deal to fail to increase support for upcoming Alberta referendum on independence. The American intent is to break up Canada and claim the spoils. That’s it.

Only Trump could take something as innocuous as the Reflecting Pool and turn it into a militarized zone haunted by dementia-driven fever dreams of traitors, terrorists and enemies. All to distract from his corruption and bad management.

Sometimes wonder if the megarich know they're creating the conditions for revolution. I'm not an accelerationist. I don't want the conditions that are being created, never mind the violence they will lead to. Yeah take our incomes and replace all our jobs with robots and LLMs, that'll go well

Politicians who fanned these flames should hang their heads in shame. Time and again we've seen this story play out. Single incidents used to fuel a far right narrative - and communities across the nation paying the price.
Huge fires encompassing a street with buildings, cars and the majority of the street on fire with plumes of black smoke.

You can't claim you're not a publisher when you decide what people see, pay people to create content, and build the AI tools that generate it. That's editorial control. That's publishing. And publishers can be held responsible for what they distribute. Shut down X unless it complies with UK law.

Condemning riots isn't enough. We need policy action, including an immediate appraisal of X as a vehicle for coordinating far-right disorder. And we need political leadership, to challenge white nationalism as an idea, not to validate it daily and then complain when it turns violent.
