@LinkofSunshine When’s your birthday…? 🧐

Have a very happy one, whenever it may be! 😜

Forward this to any moronic supporters of wee Tommy Robinson

Incredible how every “pro-life” policy actually leads to a large amount of unnecessary death.

[Caolan @CaolanReports]

Completely blown away by this.

Today I was recognised by President Zelenskyy with the Order of Merit. A profound honour.

Right now powerful people want the truth about Ukraine buried. It’s a privilege to be able to tell it. ❤️🇺🇦🔥

Caolan Robertson is probably the best investigative journalist on X right now - follow him!

Also huge thanks to NAFO and Irish investigative journalists digging deeper into this case.

Rusal needs to go!

The Iranian navy, which has been destroyed eight times, has apparently closed the Strait of Hormuz again, because the United States, for the seventh time, won the war that wasn’t a war, so now the United States has to open the Strait of Hormuz that was already open before the not-war began.

The not-war began because Iran had uranium that was totally, completely, beautifully obliterated, so they can’t build the nuclear bomb they weren’t building, which is why the United States had to start the not-war it definitely didn’t start.

Now the United States, which has nuclear weapons, is threatening to use nuclear weapons to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons, because nuclear weapons are far too dangerous for countries with nuclear weapons to allow other countries to have.

If the United States saw the United States doing what the United States does in other countries, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.

Abusive men have been doing that “propaganda” work for free since the dawn of modern society.

"Imagine the amount of propaganda it took to convince people this was oppressive."

Anyone still using the term "Transvestite" outside the context of a Rocky Horror revival should definitely pick up my new book Transcendent available for pre-order here https://t.co/st6vCQphnv

They published a 900-page book in 2023 that told everyone exactly what they planned to do if/when Trump won.

Many people chose not to believe them.

The problem with the “transing away the gay” narrative is that it is usually portrayed as drs or parents “pushing” a gay kid to be trans, as if that is somehow more accepted by society. The reality imo is that it is usually people like Jonni *themselves* who decide that it would be “easier” to transition rather than live their life as a gay man (or woman). I.e. it is internalized homophobia driving them. That is unfortunate, and by all means I think we *should* try and help such people avoid making these mistakes. However, the correct way to do that, imo, is addressing the continued pervasive homophobia of society, rather than making it impossible to transition for those people whom it really does help.

Entering month 6 of the Mamdani mayorship of NYC and Robberies are down 11%, Retail theft is down 19%, and Murder is down an astounding 21%.

And he did so without "Adding 5000 new cops" to the streets. Instead, he's invested in public safety with free childcare, accessible infrastructure, and better funded schools and libraries. He's proven once again that if we want safer communities, we must invest in People—not Punishments.

Remember when they said Zelensky desecrated the sanctity of the White House by not wearing a suit

@VeraSoothe @datadriven_tdoc @BevJacksonAuth @tnomi1965 Literally none of those things are happening, as Hernandez is not taking anyone’s place or trophies.

[Kate from Kharkiv @BohuslavskaKate]

Macron: All those who told us six months ago that Ukraine was going to collapse, wouldn't make it through winter, that we had to hurry up and accept unacceptable — Ukrainians, with strength and courage, have once again proven them wrong. Now it's up to us to build lasting peace.

I'm a grizzly.

They just decided one acre is all I need.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service just redefined "secure habitat" for grizzly bears in Montana.

The science said 2,500 acres minimum.

They changed it to one.

No public input. No new science. Just a rewrite.

And it wasn't random. The change conveniently cleared the way for a 17,700-acre logging project cutting straight through the corridor grizzlies use to travel between two of their last strongholds in North America.

A former Forest Service wildlife biologist said it plainly: "A one-acre island of forest surrounded by roads isn't secure habitat. It's a death trap."

Courts already rejected this same playbook when agencies tried 10-acre patches near Yellowstone. They lost. Then they came back with one acre.

Who's going to tell the grizzly it only gets one acre?

@VeraSoothe @datadriven_tdoc @BevJacksonAuth @tnomi1965 Could you please name the “multiple real effects”?

[Isabeau Vidal @IsabeauVidal]

2-0!!! 🗽

[Isabeau Vidal @IsabeauVidal]

Right, riiiight… and *your* determination is better than the one from a jury or judge whose literal *job* it was to look at the evidence in detail?

Yes, miscarriages of justice happen. But you seem rather cavalier in your “determining”. How convenient…

Either way, Russel Brand and Andrew Tate are giant misogynistic PoS. So pardon us for not trusting that you would actually beat the fuck out of your supposed rapist friend.

My parents had 9 kids. 5 survived, I was the last. I was one of the survivors in case you are wondering. I was 4 when they divorced. My dad was finally free to be the flamboyantly gay man he always was. He was a hairdresser and cut the hair of many famous people like Amy Carter and Paul Lynde and competed nationally with guys like Paul Mitchell. He was in the theater and basically displayed every Hollywood trope of a gay Catholic man with a beard and family. She had to know but my mom was always pretty closed about it. My father was also awesome at being a dad. He was funny and intelligent and could do just about anything. He taught me how to build a home from the ground up and was a licensed electrician just for side work. He cared about others and his businesses were all successful and well respected even in red Arizona where he lived. All my life I was exposed to both a gay household and a straight household. It never moved the needle on my straightness or groomed me into anything that I am not. It definitely made me more tolerant and understanding of relationship dynamics. In '85 I went to visit my Pop for the summer as I always did but then never went back to my Moms in Cali. It was a hard choice and it put me into a difficult spot as the son of a gay man in a rural AZ town and school. I was in a lot of fights. That part didnt matter much as I was the youngest in my family and punching above my weight was a necessity all my life. I made some really great friends there and changed a lot of minds about prejudice and assumption. It was not just about the friends or the fights it was about representing the minority of tolerant people and doing it with strength and stoicism was important. After I graduated and moved on to my own adventures in the UK and beyond, things started to change. The 90s were a lot kinder to the LGBTQ community than the previous decade and tolerance grew. My father was eventually able to get married and he was happily married when he passed. I was with him for the short few days he was in hospice and I was there when he passed. Pope Francis later said love is love and gave tolerant recognition to his love just a little too late and I wish he had been able to hear that. I am a pantheist but I respect my fathers views. When he passed I washed his feet so he could walk from this world clean. I gave his eulogy in a big Catholic church which had a giant pipe organ like the one he had played during so many services in his life. His children and dozens of grandchildren and even more great grandchildren were in attendance. Love is Love.
Happy Pride Month 🏳️‍🌈

@hsobejon @TheAndyCortez If only we could send him to the White House next… 😔 For now, very happy to have him as our mayor though!
