Media and Dems are still getting this badly wrong: Trump is deeply unpopular! Recent approval numbers: 38-54 (Quinnipiac) 39-60 (AP) 40-56 (Gallup) 41-58 (Reuters) 39-56 (Economist) On the pod, @lakshya.splitticket.org explains these numbers brilliantly. Listen: newrepublic.com/article/2010...

I'm a big fan of crowdsourced google docs to organize opposition to authoritarianism. This is a good one.

Again, @Microsoft - unsolicited advertisements for games have NO PLACE in Windows 11 Professional. Please slap whoever decided this was appropriate.

I had been considering buying a new car this year. However, the new tariffs have essentially just guaranteed that won't happen. Even if I could find something American made that would meet my requirements, the higher costs I'll be paying on other goods mean I won't have money left for that.

N.B. that the "US Right" depicted here is not a fringe movement, but is now the entire Republican Party, which is in charge of our fed government, many state governments, and a significant portion of our judiciary. It not only *can* happen here, it *has* happened here. www.ft.com/content/3046...

This one was very tricky. One one hand, the affected third-party libraries and applications are misusing the API, so we COULD have said "not our problem." On the other hand, authorization bypass in some of these services is scary, and pushing a day-zero mitigation will hopefully help limit damage.

MAGA is going to chase you over here. They'll chase you where ever you go on social media. They can't survive without making you miserable. Why do you think Truth social failed? They need conflict. Don't give it to them and don't engage. Bluesky has amazing block functions. Block them into the void.

The thing to remember is that we are not at the end of the American story. And we all know that the heroes don’t prevail in the middle of the story. This is the dark hour during which heroes are awoken, mustered, found, & forged. Do not lose hope. Gather strength & keep focused.

in any other medical context, results like this would qualify as a miracle - you just don't see this level of satisfaction even with completely uncontroversial, common medical treatments there is simply no serious good faith argument that gender-affirming care hurts people - the opposite is true

Tell your representative: Vote NO on KOSA! Visit eff.org/kosa

A text bubble. at the top: Why do young people oppose kosa?

Then, a quote: If information is put through a filter, that’s bad. Any and all points of view should be accessible, even if harmful so everyone can get an understanding of all situations. Not to mention, as a young neurodivergent and queer person, I’m sure the information I’d be able to acquire and use to help myself would be severely impacted. I want to be free like anyone else.

Beneath that quote are two links: Eff.org/kosa and "read more from our survey: eff.org/kosasurvey

Seeing a Heritage Foundation endorsement of something immediately tells me that it's hateful and harmful to minors.
