Republicans don't seem to grasp that the world could do just fine without the U.S.

Self-imposed Isolation in a global economy is like holding yourself for ransom.

Did you know? Michael Dillon was not only the first trans man to have phalloplasty, he was also the surgeon for one of Roberta Cowell’s transition related surgeries. The surgery he did on Roberta was not legal at the time, so Michael operated on her illegally.

First they came for the transgender people, and I said nothing because I was not transgender.

Then they came for the furries, and no one knows what happened after that because the net went down and no one could fix it.

Too shitty for Piers Morgan is very shitty indeed.

This text from our housekeeper is how my day started. She and her family have been in the US for ten years, legally, as political refugees. They are in the final stages of getting citizenship.

Now they're afraid to leave their house.

If only being rich was based on character and hard work instead of nepotism, racism and harming others to hoard wealth.

Protesters + a punk band drowned out Charlie Kirk at SF State, the far-Right CEO of Turning Point USA.

"Numerous mosh pits broke out [with] chants of “Free Palestine” + appeals for working-class solidarity."

Member of violent neo-Nazi group was also in attendance.

Two women enter a high end hotel in #Boston, male security guard enters women's washroom, bangs on stall door yelling about proof of gender as woman is using the toilet, guard kicks both women out as other women yell and scream at them for being male creeps who are pretending to be women.

Both are cis female

Gender policing, attacks on trans folks, bathroom gender laws, do NOT protect cis women. They are sexist & fascistic, and they actually worsen the oppression of all women, including both cis and trans women, as seen by the recent harassment of a cis lesbian couple at a Boston hotel, the attacks on Algerian boxing gold medalist Imane Khelif, and the cis woman arrested for using a Walmart bathroom in Arizona.

Nobody is free until we all are free!

Reading about old crime cases from the 90s and even into the early 00s and police *really* believed that polygraph tests worked. Even in cases in tiny little towns they'd whip that thing out and make all kinds of wild inferences based on what amounts to noise.

Now and then you hear about one of them being used to this day.

Absolutely wild and terrifying.

There are still "experts" running around who claim they can teach cops about "body language" that will tell them who is lying.

Input on the English language:

In Danish we have a term called the "not test”, and we sometimes say about a political view, that it does not pass the not test, if no one would take the opposite view.

For instance, if a politician campaigns on wanting children to live happy lives, we may say, “it does not pass the not test", because no candidate is running on NOT wanting children to live happy lives.

Is there an established English term for such a "not test”?
