“Every American knew, or should have known. The man elected president last night is a depraved and brazen pathological liar, a shameless con man, a sociopathic criminal, a man who has no moral or social conscience, empathy, or remorse. He has no respect for the Constitution and laws he will swear to uphold, and on top of all that, he exhibits emotional and cognitive deficiencies that seem to be intensifying, and that will only make his turpitude worse. He represents everything we should aspire not to be, and everything we should teach our children not to emulate. The only hope is that he’s utterly incompetent, and even that is a double-edged sword, because his incompetence often can do as much as harm as his malevolence. His government will be filled with corrupt grifters, spiteful maniacs, and morally bankrupt sycophants, who will follow in his example and carry his directives out, because that’s who they are and want to be.”

There's no sugarcoating this.

It feels like we're finally breaking through the last of the walls separating us from fascism.

Even if Harris does pull it off overnight by somehow parlaying the cities in 3 states she's down in... however unlikely... This isn't going away.

I am REALLY uncomfortable w/ how hard schools & educators are leaning into AI. It's built by exploiting the work of others without acknowledgment or compensation. Plus there are massive environmental costs that are ignored. Just b/c it exists doesn't mean we should promote it.

[Stacked Librarian @StckedLibrarian]

The ability to sit, & read books is diminishing because destroying Information Literacy has been the plan for decades. It’s The Agenda. Well-informed literate citizenry able to participate fully in society through information literacy, & intellectual freedom threaten their power

@GrumpSupport Nah. The artist has come forward to state that the third panel was based (with permission) on her gender non-conforming friend. This outrage is absolutely ridiculous.

[Ayzee, GISH Goblin & Wayward AF @HalflingDancer]

@chel_c_cam @melon_reads YES. Even after hearing about the shifters I was hesitant because the trailers made it feel more snarky historical more than anything else.

[Ayzee, GISH Goblin & Wayward AF @HalflingDancer]

@melon_reads @KDean1010 Oh same. I've realized just very much not for me. Something just doesn't work.

Today marks the anniversary of The American Indian Religious Freedom Act of 1978, which once again made it legal for Natives to practice our spiritual and cultural beliefs in the so called united states. They had been outlawed for 95 years by the Code of Indian Offences in 1883.

This story is bonkers. Cops in this South Carolina town run an annual 5-day operation where they stop as many cars as possible. They find any reason to pull people over. And often if the driver has cash, police steal it.

In 2022, cops seized $968,611. That's $194,000 per day.

So let me get this straight: a woman athlete excels at her sport, and Elon, JK Rowling, and a swimmer who once tied for 5th place say she must be a man.

When her competitor issues an apology and her own father produces a birth certificate and childhood photos, they double down.

Elon Musk created a PAC to help Donald Trump win the election, and will likely spend millions funding it.

Now Trump supports electric vehicles.

This is how bribes work.

[Jo @JoJoFromJerz]

Donald Trump is terrified of debating Kamala Harris.

Pass it on.

[Jill Wine-Banks (now on Threads and Bluesky) @JillWineBanks]

It’s time to sanction Trump’s lawyers.

[Chris Lamb @16campaignbites]

@JillWineBanks Trump is running for president to avoid going to jail.
If Trump becomes president he says he will be a dictator.

Voters have to decide whose freedom is more important:

Trump's or ours?

[ClearingTheFog @clearing_fog]

I want to remind everyone that Peter Thiel, one of the people who pushed Musk to buy Twitter, is being sued for his role in covering up the Cambridge Analytica data harvesting/microtargeting scandal as a FB board member.

So it’s worth asking what Elon is doing with this data.

We need our genes tested, our testosterone levels tested, surgery to attain the arbitrary proportions that constitute a feminine body in their minds, we must be fertile, we must have had children, we cannot menopause, we have to be white
