This is the thing about bathroom bans targeting trans people - assault is already a crime! Indecent exposure is already a crime! And laws that protect trans people don't suddenly make them legal

YES - 38%
UNSURE - 21%
This is such a good point, and it just also illustrates the racist double standards where Mamdani continues to be vilified no matter how much he works on outreach, while for Plattner, there are endless supplies of grace.
Mike Lee is working tirelessly to find loopholes in the law so he can control 1.9 million acres of Grand Staircase Escalante. Mike won’t stop until he steals all of OUR PUBLIC LAND. We need to stop him first. Contact your reps & ask them to vote NO.#utpol

Almost there…
The US maximum pressure campaign on Cuba is a cruel and failing policy that has caused incredible harm to the Cuban people. Venezuela is a clear example that Trump doesn't care about democracy or civil society. This is just a plain attempt to open up Cuban markets to his billionaire buddies.
This thread is not about whether Platner is a Nazi. It’s about how he lies like a toddler when he’s cornered. And that’s enough. He’s not electable, and Susan Collins knows it. You can too, if you can read this thread, or this 18-page document. 2/

@JesseBrown Not seeing this obvious point made elsewhere, so here goes: Elle-Máijá Tailfeathers referenced Oct 7th, a day when Jewish men, women and children were brutalized, burned alive, raped and kidnapped, then she immediately said "my heart is with the people of Palestine." This was a heartless and hateful statement. Quote Radheyan Simonpillai @JustSayRad · Mar 4 Elle-Máijá Tailfeathers is returning her TFCA award best supporting performance in a Canadian film, following the organization's decision to censor her acceptance speech during Monday night's gala. Here are excerpts from Elle-Máijá's email to the TFCA, shared with permission.
If you subscribe or listen to 'Canadaland' (the biggest "progressive" podcast in the country) please know that it's founder Jesse Brown is actively attacking Indigenous women who speak out against Israel's genocide
Some mainstream movies that have depicted SS uniforms, including the Totenkopf:
• Auschwitz
• Jojo Rabbit
• Schindler’s List
• The Counterfeiters
• Inglorious Basterds
• The Boy in the Striped Pajamas
• Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark
And of course, the “Are we the baddies?” TV skit…
A post on X from the betting platform Polymarket that says “BREAKING: Anthropic CEO says Claude may or may not have gained consciousness, as the model has begun showing symptoms of anxiety.”
Literally as I’m arguing with someone about whether AI companies are misleading people into believing their technology possesses God-like super-intelligence I see this monstrosity
More chaos coming to your Utah GOP primaries with far right state Rep Lisonbee considering a challenge to incumbent Blake Moore in UT02
Labour is what happens when the nominally "center-left" party stands for absolutely nothing and just shifts more and more to the right in a foolish attempt to woo voters to their right: a massively unpopular party that's going to get absolutely crushed... and right-wing policies.
help your democrat colleagues remember this as well.

yeah the damage a single bad billionaire can do wildly outstrips any positive impact even a theoretically ideal billionaire can have
more, I think that the kind of person you need to be to become a billionaire tends to select for the worst outcomes in all but the rarest of cases
I'm sorry, you want kids in America to be fed and housed and educated and provided healthcare, but how will we pay for it? All of our money is going toward killing kids not in America. So, you see, honestly our hands are tied. Feels like you're being a little self-centered, I accept your apology.
That's a concerningly high number.
anti-trans Dems ate shit last night
Hey that’s about the cost of the SSI Restoration Act, which would cut recipient poverty by 60%, eliminate marriage penalties, and modernize draconian asset limits.
The Mormon Word of Wisdom got introduced into a substitute in the kratom ban bill. It was quite the debate (and we'll show it on @fox13news.bsky.social this afternoon). Here's the bill: le.utah.gov/Session/2026...
Substitute failed. Kratom ban PASSED the House 63-10. #utpol #Utah

Kurds invading Iran will definitely not result in Iranian citizens assuming this is a land grab for a Kurdish state which has nothing to do with Iranian freedom from the regime and lead to Iranian civilians rallying around their national flag, phew

most people don't think he's really a nazi, the central criticism is that he has disqualifyingly bad judgment and temperament for a prospective senator, which he objectively does, and this is why the obama boys want to make it about whether or not he's a nazi

I'm teaching about early 20th century eugenics today and was reminded that 9 years ago Republican Representative Steve King was stripped of his committee assignments by his GOP colleagues for this post that simply states what is now bog standard GOP policy/rhetoric on immigration and "civilization."
Saw a thoughtful thread about AI, don't want to QT or argue. But. The biggest rage factor with LLMs is the people who, because genAI is transformative for coding, think it's transformative for everything else, because they devalue every other form of work and labor and knowledge.
Why are there accounts that you can block if you'll get your account deleted for blocking? What kind of design nonsense is that?
