Under the current regime it will be used to suppress discussion of all things LGBTQ+, particularly transgender identity and healthcare, women's rights and healthcare including abortion, Black history, indigenous history, Israel's genocide of Palestinians, immigration, police abuses, and so on.

This is absolutely the worst time for such a bill, so of course it has a better chance of succeeding than ever before.

They've finally released the fashbot, after testing it on internet forums for the last decade.

And who suggested blaming every murder of a woman on misogyny?

Why so much fighting over a word for women being killed of misogyny? Odd thing to be defensive about. It feels like some people here think even giving women a word for being killed by misogynists is giving them too much.

As a judge she knew the difference between due process and extrajudicial kidnapping for trafficking to a foreign concentration camp. She was standing up for the rule of law, and the fascists in charge are determined to punish her for it.

It was a good newspaper once. It drifted from left to center left over the decades but I feel like it became more reactionary since the intelligence services crushed their hard drives for reporting on Edward Snowden's leaks and Alan Rusbridger resigned as editor.

Maybe these right-wingers miss the time when they could just kidnap leftists, students, intellectuals and anyone else they didn't like, and throw them out of a plane into the sea?

How very original of him.

All these far-right governments making their countries great again must be why the world feels so great right now. It's clearly working very well indeed.

Ah yes, a review. Just like the review of causes of autism. Just like the review of vaccines. Just like they'll be reviewing every last thing about trans people's healthcare. Just like they'll continue to review other aspects of women's healthcare. Maybe in the end they'll review healthcare for non-whites and mental healthcare for leftists. All for the sake of a better understanding, all out of genuine concern and a thirst for learning with a completely open mind.

We don't want to be kidnapped by cops, we don't want to pay tariffs to Trump's corrupt government, and we don't want to give our money to the country that's trying to destroy ours.

Susan Wiles, Trump’s chief of staff, worked for a lobbying firm that represented Qatar. Attorney General Pam Bondi lobbied for the Qataris. Mike Huckabee, now US Ambassador to Israel, was paid $50,000 to visit Qatar in 2018. Steve Witkoff, Trump’s special envoy to the Middle East, also has pocketed money from Qatar. In 2023, Qatar’s sovereign wealth fund bought the Park Lane Hotel from Witkoff’s company in a $623 million deal. The Trump Organization itself recently struck a deal to develop a luxury golf resort in Qatar. And now Qatar is considering handing as a gift to Trump a jumbo airliner worth about $400 million for Trump to use as Air Force One.

If I didn't know the Republicans were such fine, upstanding, morally sound people, I'd start to suspect fuckery.

Teen Vogue. It was publishing good, hard-hitting investigative journalism for a while.

The "problem" is that wind, solar, and batteries for overnight storage can now outcompete fossil fuel generation on price, which means that the patrons who back the Republican party stand to lose a lot of money.
