Ping the missus on FB, she'll fill you in.

Really hung up on the chief Washington correspondent for ABC News, a supposed journalist, having no shame about telling the president, "nobody questions the success of the military operation."

Uh, yeah, there are questions. You're a journalist. Question it, man.

“I was completely heartbroken”: Trans woman forced to stop playing cricket for fun | Good Law Project When the ECB banned trans women, Lily’s amateur club barred her from the team where she had played for years – we’re helping her bounce back

"The ban has nothing to do with professional sport, where trans women have been unable to compete since 2024. These rules are just hurting women who only want to play sport with their friends."

In the 1960s the Democratic party reached a point where it could either keep the bigots or try to roll back Jim Crow. We're still feeling the reverberations of showing them the door, but it was the right thing to do both at the time and in hindsight.

Labour faces a similar dynamic now.

"I dread even saying this... but I think that we've ended up in the wrong place on trans, and we've done that by treading very self-consciously and not actually following our hearts, which is that trans people are on the margins, they are vulnerable. "If the Labour Party doesn't look after trans people, what are we about? "They're most likely to get beaten up. They're the ones who are most likely to have prejudice against them. We should not be indulging in anything that marginalises them even more."

Emily Thornberry’s words on Radio 4 in response to the Green win in Gorton and Denton.

This is why wins like this are so important, whatever you may think of the Greens (much like the immigration rebellion brewing).

Kalshi employees "kind of understand that without the tweets and the streamers and all of the social-media stuff that the traders do for them, usually just for free, their marketing would be a lot harder," said Jack Campion, 20, a junior at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a Kalshi affiliate. In September, Kalshi briefly signed up a 15-year-old videogame streamer who goes by vertid online to promote its brand on X as an affiliate. A week later, Kalshi ended the partnership. "Yo brother, legal team confirmed that we can't work with minors rn," a Kalshi employee wrote to the user in messages reviewed by the Journal. "Kinda sad tbh."

An original Nashville sit-in member, along with Diane Nash, James Bevel, and John Lewis. Trained in non-violence by James Lawson. At age 21, he signed a will before the Freedom Rides, knowing he could die.

May his soul be at peace, and may we all have such courage in the face of oppression.

The US government being the worst cliché of a dumb American man from the movies I watched growing up adds a dimension to the ongoing horrors that’s difficult for me to grasp

Qatar warns war will force Gulf to stop energy exports ‘within days’ Gas producer says it will take ‘weeks to months’ to restore deliveries after Iranian drone strike

⚠️ Qatar’s energy minister has warned that war in the Middle East could “bring down the economies of the world,” predicting that all Gulf energy exporters would shut down production within weeks and drive oil to $150 a barrel.

The Most Chilling Detail in the U.S. Attack on an Iranian Naval Ship The Iranian warship was taking part in an international exercise with many other countries—including the United States.

This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.

My school district is being forced to lay off several educators and a librarian because of a $500,000 budget gap, or roughly the amount spent on the war while I was typing this post.

Met this fine chap on my morning walk

guy from country that calls for peace talks as cover to illegally bomb other countries and sinks unarmed ships and doesn't rescue survivors-"just can't trust those sneaky darkies"

“Slurs filled a chat” is a beaut

Never forget that this what The Washington Post said when Noem was nominated.

I'll also note that we still appear to be missing a ton of pages from this woman's file. There were at least *53 pages* missing (that we know about) and we still don't seem to have all of them — specifically the FBI's contemporaneous notes for these interviews

Mills is 1 million years old but I like seeing this.

First of all Dario there is no such thing as a Department of War.

He's no longer bothering to lie or spin. He just doesn't care anymore

Can confirm, every Signal chat in town either said nothing or made one snide comment and then immediately got back to work

this post deserves to be presented to you by having an index card moved down word by word with photos taken of your face after every new reveal

This is one of those things that is less sexy to talk about but is unequivocally a war crime

It’s not disingenuous to point out that the NYT did not run a single front page story of the Minab bombing. You don’t dispute this claim because it’s true. And the story that you reference on your webpage does not attribute blame to US/Israel and frames it as an allegation by “Iranian state media”
