UK and France have both defeated their right wing parties in elections this year. The US needs to get its shit together.

Tapping again on the sign that says if you want to interject with commentary or elaboration on something you agree with, but let the agreement go without saying, you risk your reply being indistinguishable from an argument. "Yes, and." Doesn't have to be those words, but make your intentions clear.

The GRR Act passed the Scottish Parliament by 86 to 39. Scottish Labour voted for it by 18 to 2. So this is the perfect opportunity for the new UK govt to prove that they respect devolution, and that Scottish Labour's leadership in Scotland are not, as their opponents claim, merely London's poodles.

There's a very easy way for him to do this with Scotland. Withdraw the historically unique block of GRR reform using Section 35 - an unprecedented assault on the rights of the Scottish Parliament to decide Scottish laws by the Tories. Simple, just. If he doesn't? Then he's a liar.

“They want to eliminate national parks” is a very simple way to get just about anyone on the Stop Project 2025 train. Are there much more glaring and life-threatening goals of P25? Yes but even your most bigoted cousin does not want to see the parks system sold for parts.

This!! Start with “they want to end no fault divorce, sell national parks, and ban porn” end with tax structure.

We just ran Romancing the Vote for the 3rd year, and while Bluesky has *definitely* punched above its weight class for us there, the loss of twitter was painful. Our social networks are splintered now, and so are our communities. IDK if we'll ever get back what twitter could do for excitement.

Hey, so. I understand that this is anecdotal and not research, but. It is WILD how useless social media has become for promo. It's a fucking disgrace, really.

Something to stress is that under capitalism it doesn’t matter if people think they are good people. Or if people try to be good people. Exploitation and expropriation will remain as processes. Wealth accumulation and resulting dispossession will occur because we live in a system w class conflict.

if only there was a word for "displacing" an "entire population" of people using "military ground operations"

Nearly 2 million people have been displaced in Gaza – almost the entire population – after the Israeli military last week ordered a further 80,000 people to evacuate parts of Gaza City amid a renewed ground operation, the latest UN figures show.

you know when you’re talking to an allistic person and you need to say “I’m not arguing with you I literally just want to understand”, but you _can’t_ say that because they’d think you’re arguing with them? my new theory is that “I’m sure I’m missing something obvious but:” is effective phrasing

Every day I fill out a little more of the spreadsheet where I keep track of my eight-character script beats and what everyone is doing at any given moment in the show. It’s almost like writing

I find it sincerely fascinating that Gaiman’s account on here is entirely unbothered. No one seems to have gone over there to hold him to account. No one is demanding his ouster from here. He’s just chilling, talking about casting for his TV shows.

this is your regular reminder that disability justice has to be a thing because our society is thoroughly imbued—sometimes invisibly so—with ableism that devalues disabled lives. even though anyone of any community can become disabled at any time.

Biden shot himself in the foot during the debate. But he keeps reloading the gun and trying to hit his ankle.

The point I don't see very many people talking about is that this is 2016 all over again. It's not that the candidate has a glaring weak spot in the campaign, it's that they're not doing anything to address that weakness. It's like Hillary not going to Michigan, but bigger and worse.

8 years ago today Philando Castile was murdered. The criminal legal system failed to convict the cop who shot him despite the recorded evidence. We had to watch that video live just 24 hours after we watched cops shoot Alton Sterling in the back. (The video does not play at link)

July 6th, 2016 | A History of Racial Injusticecalendar.eji.org On this day, Philando Castile was shot and killed by an officer during a traffic stop for a broken taillight in St. Paul, Minnesota.

Both from a standpoint of informing the public, reporting the truth, and simple self-preservation, their refusal to adequately cover Trump's radicalism and the immunity decision is inexcusable

My guess is that Trump knows very little about P25 *and* it will be the blueprint for his administration. He’s famously bored by policy. He’ll appoint these people because they’re loyal. They’ll then go to work on the plan while he grifts, golfs, and gives two-hour speeches at rallies.
