This has always been a Bluesky-first campaign. But as of today, we will no longer be using Twitter. At all.
And I'm calling on other candidates to follow suit.

French publishing house Harlequin decided to use AI translation instead of human translations.
All their freelance translators (some of whom had been working with Harlequin for +30y!!!) were told they would no longer receive work from Harlequin

If fat shaming worked there'd be no fat people after 4th grade.
"Fatshaming is good for fat people actually" is trying to be a shithead with a righteous backbone and it doesn't work.
There are no guilt-free passes on being an asshole for no good reason.

This is illegal! The Trump administration is instructing managers across the federal government (regardless of employee performance) to ensure that at least 80 percent of staff receive a 3 out of 5 rating, making them easier to terminate and easier to justify in court.

I think both High Laurie and Simon Pegg should be ashamed of themselves. Others too. It's one thing if you're a struggling voice actor offered a job like this. But those two didn't Need this. I'm sure others in the cast didn't either. #translivesmatter

I am truly fortunate that, on this Trans Day of Remembrance, I have no Trans friends who haven't survived. I have watched some amazing people grow into themselves once they finally took that leap into recognizing their own identity and asking the rest of us to do the same.

The fuckers that are the Old Guard of the Democratic Party really DO NOT GET IT. Some of them have been in office long enough that they voted for the Dems when they were the party of Jim Crow.
“trust with Republicans,” that thing all Democratic voters cherish
Former Mayor Rahm Emanuel said Thursday a decision on whether to pursue the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination comes down to whether he thinks he can meet “both the challenge and the promise of tomorrow” and execute on it.
