I can *100% assure you* that if this report found that trans people & "wokeness" tanked the Harris campaign, the DNC would release it in a heartbeat
BREAKING: The Democratic National Committee will NOT release its long-awaited autopsy on Trump's 2024 win. The report is completed but Dem leaders decided it could distract from their winning streak, so it will remain secret. Not good.

Dem Leaders Decide to Bury Damning Report on Why Trump Won in 2024
The Democratic National Committee has completed its long-awaited analysis on what went wrong in the 2024 campaign. But in a move that will attract intense criticism, it’s keeping the findings secret.

You know when things were pretty quiet and peaceful in L.A.? Before ICE started arresting residents who were bothering no one and going to their jobs. And before DHS and National Guard troops showed up and made the situation worse.

Of course Trump and Stephen Miller want the situation to get worse.

with everything that is going on it unfortunately needs repeating that fascism is to be opposed at all costs. it is to be stamped out in every crevice and shadow it lurks in.

This gets at something that I haven’t really been able, or willing, to articulate about all the talk about due process: Let’s say we gave all the due process in the world to someone and found that he was a member of a gang. Should we even then send him to a gulag known for its human rights abuses?
It shouldn't matter if Trump’s victims have criminal records. If we only defend the “innocent,” the fascists will argue that their victim “was no angel.” An anti-fascist rhetoric that carves out exceptions for imperfect victims is a gift to our opponents.

I honestly can’t stop thinking about this RFK speech. A lot of the outrage around it is focused on pointing out that it’s not true.

But so fucking what if it was? Do people whose bodies don’t work not deserve to exist in society? If all these things were true for a person are they less worthy?

Dimethyl sulfide has been found in comets and in molecular clouds in the interstellar medium.

Its presence is not itself a bio-signature.

Five consecutive US presidents and administrations bombed Yemen (GW Bush, Obama, Trump I, Biden, and Trump II). What did any of them achieve?

If there was real accountability in US policymaking, that would be an even bigger scandal than this one about the group Signal chat.
The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

These men were not just deported, they've been incarcerated without trial in a brutalist megaprison.

What is the plan for them now? Are they awaiting trial? Where? Are they facing sentences? How long?

Newsom's transphobic rhetoric in his interview with Charlie Kirk is an attack on Californian democracy that must be met with resistance from LGBTQ people.

The absolute fit people would throw if this was NASA
In transportation analysis, we can estimate the cost of a disruption by multiplying the number of travelers affected, how long they are affected for, and some cost per hour of their time.

Your daily reminder to block Elon Musk's pet Propagandist, Eric Berger, for deliberately obfuscating sexual harassment complaints against SpaceX and for being a gross little toad man

bsky.app/profile/bsky...
Top 5 reasons to block sciguyspace.bsky.social :

1. Elon Musk will get mad
2. I will post my Berger Wojak collection
3. He is a Nazi Propagandist + paid by SpaceX
4. He doxxes small discord server users because he is petty
5. He gets defensive if you ask him about his departure from Houston Chron
Hell yeah, if we can get this number up to 1,000 I will make a megathread of reasons why Eric Berger sucks AND post all my handcrafted Eric Berger Wojaks
