I do not think it is much of an exaggeration to say that British media is one of the least trustworthy institutions on the planet.

The *previous* Mayor, on the other hand, wanted a 10-foot AI wall, where you could talk to AI Martin Luther King, and you could say, ‘Well, Dr, Martin Luther King, I’ve always wanted to meet you. What was your day like today? What did you have for breakfast?’"

Here's my story on Texas' drag ban being ruled unconstitutional again. Fun quote from Judge David Hittner, a Reagan appointee: "Finally, for those who find such activities as described in this case offensive, the solution is relatively simple … just don’t go." www.chron.com/culture/arti...

'Just don't go': Judge once again finds Texas drag ban unconstitutional
For the second time in three years, a federal judge has ruled Texas' ban on drag shows is unconstitutional.

We have had this conversation so many times. You do not have to platform/debate obscene views that are also false. I wrote during a wave of pressure on progressives to compromise with far-right haters:
I can comprehend, and do, that lots of people don’t believe climate change is real, but is there some great benefit in me listening, again, to those who refuse to listen to the global community of scientists and see the evidence before our eyes? A lot of why the right doesn’t “understand” climate change is that climate change tells us everything is connected, everything we do has far-reaching repercussions, and we’re responsible for the whole, a message at odds with their idealization of a version of freedom that smells a lot like disconnection and irresponsibility. But also climate denial is the result of fossil fuel companies and the politicians they bought spreading propaganda and lies for profit, and I understand that better than the people who believe it. If half of us believe the earth is flat, we do not make peace by settling on it being halfway between round and flat.

ICE just arrested a 5-year-old on his way to a soccer game in Austin. His name is Liam, just like the little boy from Minnesota. He should be in kindergarten this week. Instead he's in a trailer prison in the desert. Release Liam. Release these kids. Close the Dilley children’s prison.

The Republican platform is simple: they want to sexually abuse children, and they want you to pay for it. The way this manifests these days is by their dogged focus on the digital creation of child sexual abuse material.

A ban on surveillance pricing—using people's private data to set prices—is already setting off the big retail and grocery companies, which bought Seattle Times banner ads and are sending mass texts to convince consumers it's in our best interest to let companies mine our data to decide what we pay.

Politicians usually show up at the border to demonize & fear-monger. We just drove 750 miles from El Paso to the Valley to show off the beauty & potential of our border communities. We’re showing up for Texans along the border who've been left behind by both political parties.

The belief that Mamdani’s politics are limited to New York is giving the same energy as “there’s no way a Black man from Chicago, raised in ‘exotic’ Hawaii, with the middle name ‘Hussein’ can become a national figure, let alone win the presidency”

NEW: Seattle might declare a civil emergency to help LGBTQ (mostly trans) people fleeing red states, so I looked for a Texas angle. An organizer told me that Texas is #1 among trans people looking to relocate: "The baseline hostility to their existence is unbearable." www.chron.com/culture/arti...
chron.com
So many LGBTQ Texans are moving to this city, it may declare an 'emergency'
Seattle is one of the many places that transgender Texans are resettling after fleeing their home state.

May I have the strength to be as furious and as totally irrational as @bencollins.bsky.social forever Here he is, in conversation with a colleague and friend @lindseyadler.bsky.social at @flaminghydra.com, on the topic of buying INFOWARS flaminghydra.com/issue-548/
“I was tired. It didn’t appear anything good was ever going to happen,” he said. “And then Renee Good got shot. And I don’t remember being so distinctly angry at a news story in my life. I was just so fucking angry for days. Then I turned on Alex Jones to see what he was talking about, and he had Kyle Rittenhouse on and he was saying things that weren’t true and I was like nope, that’s it. He’s just going to keep selling boner pills on the back of the worst tragedies in our country in perpetuity unless someone puts a check on this.”
