There is a well coordinated national campaign targeting a single trans professor at Oklahoma University to get her fired. It's part of a broader campaign to push trans people out of public life entirely. It was never about sports.

Universal healthcare would save Americans $450B ANNUALLY but requires dismantling systemic racism & that scares too many unmelinated folks so we continue to suffer as is.

There were one or two people in my life I thought would figure out what was happening behind closed doors & come to rescue me.
That didn't happen, so it was up to me. Hopefully it means my children & theirs have been spared the nightmare.

I think people need to just blatantly call out Putin's never ending stream of bullshit instead of playing the diplomatic language that he routinely abuses. Direct language is the only way to truly expose his bullshit

you have to click all the way through to confirm that this is a use of Machine Learning, not “AI”
In a pilot study, A.I.was able to accurately predict the type of coda, the whale’s vocal clan and the individual whale with over 90% accuracy.
... it might be possible to use A.I. to find patterns within the vocal data and eventually translate what whales were saying to one another.

When we limit abortion access to “exceptions,” we send the message that women must first suffer before they are trusted with choice. That is not justice. That is control.
This #CupOfJoe goes out to every woman, every choice, every time.

ICE is horrific...and also an extension of how policing has always worked, not a radical break from it.

"Orders to fire on the shipwrecked" must be refused.
Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Sec. 18.3.2.1 states the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders.
What’s its key example? Wait for it . . . It’s "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

And I really truly mean that. If this was fucking easy it would have happened last time. And whatever this site wants to believe about how it was all Merrick Garland’s fault, or Pelosi’s for not sending articles of impeachment sooner, the political will dissipated quickly.

“Doing what must be done is genuinely hard” doesn’t just mean these democrats are weak willed. It means *you* figure out how to keep up motivation among the population for vengeance and preventative measures when we’ve gained power by beating them.

This is the thing, right here. It is a collective will problem, forever and always, not just a “we have elected weaklings to represent us.” If it were the latter then presumably we’d see some deviations from that mean from time to time.
The thing is that Doing What Must Be Done is genuinely really hard and requires extraordinary political will! Biden tried to at least make a stab at it, but fell way short.

Senator Kelly is correct.
Plus a Public Service Announcement:
KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1.
The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal:
"orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."
