Saw an AI video that was doing numbers earlier, and I feel as though it’s good time to remind folks:

You are not immune to propaganda!!

This is good but also it really sucks that our democracy always come down to like, 1 republican deciding they want to do the right thing and not be a coward.
Indiana Republican State Senator Greg Goode, a key swing vote who Trump attacked by name and was victim of swatting attempt, indicates he's voting no on mid-decade gerrymandering. Increases likelihood bill will fail. He denounces "Threats of primaries. Threats of violence. Acts of violence."

The #ElectoralCollege literally ignores the results of the election and gives the Presidency to the loser. Trump 2016 and Bush 2000 are two recent examples. Please support the NationalPopularVote.com, which is a campaign to nullify the EC, and we are ~75% of the way done.

Starmer urges EU to curb ECHR to halt rise of far right. Because as we know, the way you beat the far right is to accede to all their demands and adopt racism as your central principle.

This shit made me tear up a little. She did everything she set out to do 😭
One of the self-affirmation notes that Octavia E Butler would write for herself 😭

"I shall be a bestselling writer... My novels will go onto the above lists whether publishers push them hard or not, whether I’m paid a high advance or not, whether I ever win another award or not."

I wrote on @boingboing.net about the physics professor who became Uruguay's energy secretary, and within five years had the country on 98% renewable energy.

NOT ONLY CAN IT BE DONE, IT WAS AN ECONOMIC BOON THE THE COUNTRY.

Locals are asking you to call it SWANA (South West Asia and North Africa) and not MENA (Middle East and North Africa) as part of a broader decolonial push.

Brown: Autocrats don’t fear the disease or the babies dying from whooping cough — they fear the evidence of it, because evidence exposes their failures, demands accountability, and empowers the public.

Exactly. Some folks try and raise the child they want, and not the one they have.
too many people want to have kids but don't want to parent
some significant part of this is just catch-all fear for “this is not the child I ordered” I think

I'll be honest. I thought there was a limit on presidential pardons (5) & you could only do it during the last month of your presidency.

I had absolutely no idea that a president could pardon an infinite amount of criminals onto the streets every. day. of his presidency.

That's a bonkers power.

Trump "has put the entire human race at higher risk for HIV and AIDS."

"On World AIDS Day 2025, humanity should be celebrating that there is a new shot available which offers six months of protection against the transmission of HIV."

Trump Gutted AIDS Health Care at the Worst Possible Time

My debut novel came out a year ago this month, so for this month I’ll be selling signed copies of my book for $20 flat no shipping. If your local I’ll deliver to you.

Please consider supporting an indie writer.

You ain’t even gotta read the book if you don’t want to! It got other purposes, like 🧵

Nothing says pure racism quite like MAGA condemning Mayor-elect Mamdani for wanting all elementary school students to learn Arabic numerals when Arabic numbers are literally 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, etc. Hatred and stupidity go hand in hand.
