If we're not at war, Pete Hegseth is a murderer. If we are at war, Pete Hegseth is still a murderer. He's a murderer. And you don't need to go to The Hague to hold him accountable because there are perfectly good, American laws AGAINST MURDER.

Pete Hegseth Should Be Charged With Murder
No matter how you look at the strikes on alleged “drug boats”—as acts of war or attacks on civilians—Hegseth has committed a crime and should be prosecuted.

Whitewashing of everything that led up to the racist vile rant from Trump today is why we are experiencing this today.
Perhaps as amends you can report this @nytimes.com and write an editorial, and put the story on Page 1, with no weasel words.
Or A-13 with the regular deflection.

In her debut piece with Scarleteen, volunteer Maille shares what it’s really like dating with a service dog by your side. She's collected all the green flags (and some red ones too) when it comes to dating with a service dog and shares what she's learned.

A reminder that I'm raising $4k to support @scarleteen.com's staff and volunteer health fund to ensure that sex educators doing some of the BEST sex ed around are able to access health care. In an era of misinfo where most kids don't even get the most basic in school, Scarleteen is critical.

Oh wow..this is such a blast from the past I’m getting nostalgic. I remember accessing Scarleteen in my teenage years in the early days of the web and they had some of the best advice and sex ed for an Indian teenager who didn’t really get it from anywhere else. Do donate if you’re able!

Don’t even get me started on the cultural and personal implications of slogans like, “AI girls never say no.”
Generative AI causes so many demonstrable harms, from counseling kids into suicide, stealing creative work and destroying the market for it, perverting education, and this predictable horror. Any other product like this would be regulated into the smallest possible box by a responsible society.
This is one of the worst, most horrifying exposures we have ever seen. It is hard to overstate how bad the things that people are using tools like for are, and it's insane to pretend like these tools are anything other than nonconsensual porn machines

This is a moment of uncertainty and fear in sex ed. Governments are restricting access to sexual health information with tactics such as age verification laws and treating sex ed as pornography to deny young people access to information that provides them with accurate sexual health information.

Trump's economy is being held up by a massive AI bubble.
A recent study found that of 300 companies that owned generative AI tools, 95% reported zero return on their investments.
We will not entertain a bailout of these companies should this bubble pop.

In the early 00's, Scarleteen was my resource for factual sex ed. I grew up in Georgia and the only sex ed we got in (public!) school was abstinence-only and full of misinformation. I can't even remember how I came across the site, but it was invaluable. Let's keep it going for the next generation!
$1,800 to go and the night is young! Come on, internet, we can do this. Scarleteen's sex ed and direct services are essential in an era of misinformation and they require real humans who bring years of experience and compassion to their work. Health educators should have access to health care.
Today is my birthday. I would like many things but from you specifically I want $2,500 for @scarleteen.com's annual fundraiser, which is supporting staff & volunteer healthcare this year. We need $2,500 to unlock a $10,000 match and this would really make my day! Donate to my campaign page here.
