“The Fight Is Not Over”: LGBTQ Advocates Challenge Supreme Court’s Anti-Trans Passport Ruling
In an unsigned order on Thursday, the Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to require U.S. passports to list travelers’ sex assigned at birth, another blow to the rights of transgender, nonb...

#YouTube is overtly complacent with the #Trump administration's bidding no different than the despots of Silicon Valley and this needs to be spoken out against more.

I’m voting no on the continuing resolution that would double healthcare premiums for 20 million Americans, kick 15 million people off Medicaid & allow 50,000 Americans to die unnecessarily every year.

All to give $1 trillion in tax breaks for billionaires.

I stand in solidarity with #Sudan. There's no reason for the genocide there. 🇸🇩❤️

The war in Sudan has killed more than 150,000 people and displaced more than 14 million, and it includes a dizzying number of armed groups, outside sponsors, and motivations.

Here's how we got here, briefly explained:
Is there any way out of Sudan’s nightmare?
The world is finally waking up to this brutal war. But that doesn’t mean an end to it is coming soon.

At a time when Trump wants to double premiums and throw 15 million off the health care they have, please remember that the U.S. is the only major country on Earth not the guarantee health care to all as a human right.

We must pass Medicare for All.

This war isn't over despite Trump's attempts at a peace deal. Don't trust a nation like AmeriKKKa to make any peace negotiations for the Palestinian people. I still think a one-state solution is the only answer to this.

Keep whining Donnie, you chomo piece of shit. #Mamdani has momentum beyond what your pathetic brain rot cult scoops up from the pasture
President Trump turned his attention to New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, calling him a "communist" during a business forum in Miami, Florida.

Congratulations to Mayor-elect @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social on convincing millions to believe in politics and the future of the Democratic Party! His seemingly-longshot win represents a stunning rejection of the outdated, loser version of the Democratic Party that brought Trump to power twice.

Congrats to #Zohran for winning the NYC mayor election! First Dem Soc mayor in US history. This is a big win for leftists 🥳

I recommend this, #DeepSeek or #MistralAI over #ChatGPT. Better security, less data mining to worry about and better, more objective responses. Please add the ability for it to replace Google Assistant on Android and that would make it even better. Make the switch to #Proton for better privacy!
ChatGPT gates “confidentiality” behind expensive enterprise plans, and yet still has access to your business data, which can be given to authorities if requested.

Introducing our Business plan for Lumo, where everything is encrypted by default, and not even Proton can see chats.

I think #ko-fi is better than #Patreon especially for smaller creators. Just from what I've seen they offered.
I think one big impediment to this is that Substack offers far and away the best publishing/analytics tools. I've been on Patreon a few months now and it's shocking that the company can function, they don't even show you the most basic revenue breakdowns! Wish we had better platform offerings
Getting off Substack is the right move. I would compare it to moving from an app like Garageband to Ableton or Logic. Or switching from clip art to creative stock images. My business has grown. My readership has grown. Substack fills your list with junk signups, takes your money, and holds you back.

If we really want to deter suicide and self-harm, we should prescribe social media to teenagers, not ban it
The anti-teen-social-media case keeps falling apart even as it peaks politically.

42 million people could lose SNAP benefits, starting 11/1. SNAP is a lifeline to many people struggling with addiction or returning home after incarceration. Cutting SNAP puts another barrier in their way, limiting chances at successful recovery & reentry. Take action: protect SNAP bit.ly/3JvkYXf

Yes and with our tax dollars.
Will Trump’s White House ballroom really be built only with private funds? And have donors, which the president called his “friends,” been promised any favors?

These are just two of the big questions we’re asking.

Watch @laurenleharper.bsky.social explain.

Proud of your work, Zohran. Don't let Cuomo put you down for your association with #HasanPiker. You're doing more for #DemSoc than has been done the last decade!
Six days left and a whole lotta doors to knock.
