Hegseth needs to stand trial after this as a war criminal. Between this attack and the girls' school, there's no ambiguity. He is responsible for mass murder and must be held accountable.
Politicians crying that they're just "protecting the children" while doing the exact opposite is nothing new, but if this becomes law it could effectively end the careers of some of you favorite queer creators (including mine!)
Republicans are using kids as a smokescreen for what Big Tech lobbyists want: a national surveillance program to harvest our data with zero protections for people and their privacy.

The ridiculous, buffoonish misbehavior of Trump ambassadors across Europe, notably in Iceland, France, Belgium, Denmark and Poland, gets no mention in US media. Max Boot is trying to cure this failing. bsky.app/profile/maxb...

More than 1200 people have been killed across Iran, with many more injured and hospitals under attack.
No nation should be able to break intl law with impunity - civilians and healthcare facilities must be protected and those responsible for illegal attacks held to account.
For politically active billionaires and their allies in Washington, social media is becoming an instrument of political power, writes Paddy Leerssen. Broadly, a new regulatory paradigm for content moderation is emerging: the EU writes laws, the US buys shares.
