Mira, si los gringos nos terminan copiando el 18 de octubre también, voy a alegrarme por ellos, pero igual me va a parecer bien ridículo

Angus Johnston @angus.bsky.social · 11h

If you can show up on October 18, you should. The country is shifting. The battleship is turning. And while, yes, usually mass street protests don't do much, there are exceptions.

And sometimes those exceptions go down in history.

I've noticed the opposing team's fans only cheer when the opponents score on us. To win those fans over, I recommend we score on ourselves repeatedly; that will surely make them so happy they'll start supporting us. And I'm sure all our fans will keep cheering for us—who else is there to cheer for?

It’s even more wild if you have familiarity with the intellectual disability community. A lot of their kids have exactly the same needs, but they have completely different (generally much more positive) attitudes about their kids.

Also gender, but that’s not so much a social stratification issue. Autism to be considered “vanishingly rare” in girls, which is why Autism Speaks’ logo was originally blue.

I think how we think about autism is tied up in race and class — Specifically it used to be disproportionately dxed in rich white people’s kids because they had the resources to pursue a more specific diagnosis. They’ve also been able to fund whatever fancies they have research-wise.

“… I don’t think anybody around him that works for him is going to do that, because they’re benefiting from his failure of mental health, his dementia,” Pritzker continued. “I wish somebody would help out the President of the United States.”

“… the President of the United States says a lot of crazy things,” said Gov. Pritzker. “I genuinely think there is something wrong with him. I wish that his family would intervene, because I do think he needs mental health help.”

Greg Sargent @gregsargent.bsky.social · 14h

JB Pritzker has also been emphatically placing Trump's mental decline squarely on the agenda. On our pod, he adds a new element: People around Trump are using his decline to manipulate him, so they're less likely to intervene. More Dems should say this. 1/

La condenaron a 2 años en una cárcel de hombres y quedó para toda la vida en un registro de violadores, todo porque a un hombre le dio vergüenza haber tenido sexo con ella:

Alejandra Caraballo @esqueer.net · 13h

This is horrifying. Now she'll be placed with men in prison where she is at extreme risk of being raped and sexually assaulted. And then she has to register as a sex offender.

This is all because a man was ashamed he was attracted to a trans woman.

Screenshot of a BBC News article. The text describes court proceedings involving a person named Watkin, who will serve a prison sentence in a men’s facility with measures to minimize risk and maximize support. It states that Watkin must register as a sex offender for 10 years and is under a lifelong restraining order from contacting the victim. A police detective is quoted saying Watkin concealed her sex, and the victim would not have consented had they known. The article ends with the detective expressing hope that the case’s conclusion allows the victim to move forward.

This is now the blueprint for men to control trans women. Have sex with them and then threaten to go to police unless they do what he wants. It's ripe for abuse from men who will weaponize their shame. It also builds their narrative of trans women being sexual predators even when the victim.

A man gets a blowjob from a trans woman and his friends make fun of him so he goes to the police to claim she lied about being a woman. She was convicted of sexual assault and sentenced to nearly 2 years in prison because of a man's shame.

Honestly, I think that even Milei would end up defaulting on those debts eventually. That money is gone, not only for the US, but for Argentina as well. Speculators ate it all, as they always do.

Mark Healey @healeyparera.bsky.social · 13h

Hard to cover everything in one article, but you'd think a piece premised on how the bailout will succeed only with a Milei victory in the midterms would at least note the, uh, recent internal developments that make that surpassingly unlikely (Espert, polling, veto overrides, general immiseration).

Travis Waldron @traviswaldron.bsky.social · 13h

For Bessent’s $20 billion bet on Argentina to pay off, a lot of things have to go right.

The problem is that in Argentina -- a nation with a track record of squandering other people’s money and defaulting on its own debts -- those things have tended to go wrong.
