If they do put Kamala Harris on the top of the ticket, I am prepared for a level of misogynoir unwitnessed since Rosa Parks sat down on that bus.

So for all the narrative about the inevitable slide into anti-immigrant populism, four of Western Europe's five largest countries now have left or center left governments?

Essentially the one way to measure climate change impacts is measure death rates, averages, median for middle to lower income populations. We live in same climate but a lot more organ systems breaking down in one population. Cancer/covid rates ⬆️, but heart & lungs are very stressed by heatwaves ☀️☀️☀️

In the 1920s, the writer Fanny Hurst had a marriage contract with her husband that was renewable every five years. They had separate apartments. And she only allowed him to see her three nights a week. A WOMAN OF VISION.

Any serious effort to build a functional US welfare state will require the federal government to set up bureaucracies to bypass reactionary state governments for this sort of thing. Seems like we should have learned this lesson after Medicaid expansion a decade ago, and yet, here we are again!

The governors of a dozen Republican-led states — AL, AK, FL, GA, IA, MS, OK, SC, SD, TX, UT, WY — opted out of a new federal food assistance program, leaving about 9.5 million students without the aid this summer

Final round of parliament elections in France. The fascists hope to get 289 seats and a majority, but many left-wing and liberal candidates have stood aside after the first round, so fingers crossed we avoid state power falling into the hands of the far-right. Exit poll in about 12 hours.

Google’s emissions are up 48% in 5 years. Microsoft’s are up 30% since 2020. Those soaring figures are being driven by mass investments in data centers to power AI tools. Generative AI is a climate disaster and data center expansion must be stopped.

Republicans will use climate collapse as a weapon and a tool for ethnic cleansing and white power hegemony. It will be used as a justification for atrocities at a scale never before seen if they take power this fall.

“In 20 years from now when the politics have moved on, today's leaders are gone, and this conflict is relegated to history, this is what will still matter. Amputees, hostages, human victims of the conflict and their families who will suffer for decades.”

You can tend to the flame, I'll worship the ashes.

Starting to learn Shibari and I'm just like... these are sailing knots but for a person. 👀

Random thought: A lot of conflict on here is characterized by people wanting to be right more than they want to help. And that pattern seems unproductive at best and dangerous at worst to me.

Nothing is stopping every single Democratic elected official and apparatchik from taking the airwaves every single day to articulately and decisively repeat a set of cogent talking points about Trump (ie 45). Nothing. Dem PACs could be slamming him with ads now. Stop whining and do that.

counterpoint: being a cop is always a terrible trait, in anyone

being a cop might not be a terrible trait in a candidate right about now.

critical point: quietly waiting to see what develops does not have a chilling effect on future victims’ willingness or safety in coming forward!

My personal feeling is that in cases of sexual assault "I'm going to wait to see what else develops" is a fine, but if you loudly announce that what you're seeing is inadequate and not enough and should not be believed by anyone, that's not waiting to see what else develops.

It took 14 years to destroy Britain. It won’t be repaired in five minutes. It will take years of economic stability to afford the infrastructure repairs needed across a range of public services. While we’re waiting, we need to fight off the right wing. So roll your sleeves up.

Remember how the "retail theft crime wave" disappeared as soon as companies had to do their annual reports? That's because it's illegal to lie to shareholders. AI is booming (if you're a pleb) but if you have money - Goldman Sachs will be honest with you instead web.archive.org/web/20240629...
