Ah. The Scary Movie trailer Youtube shoved at me without letting me skip it had a bad 'they/them' joke.
You encouraged this to happen, people nostalgic for a movie series that I specifically remember for its transphobic balls joke, you did this.

This has nothing to do with the specific content here, but Polymarket adopting the language of news, here with BREAKING, and with Texas election results earlier this week, is BAD. Polymarket is not and will never be a news org or break news. It's a betting app. It's Draft Kings for sociopaths.
there are a large number of ways in which the republican party is learning, apparently for the first time, that your adversary gets a vote
like, congressional republicans have basically been left on their own to figure out what they're supposed to say and do to support trump, which is pretty catastrophic, politically, in a challenging midterm year
one of the things that's subtext in all of these stories about the different cabinet secretaries who may or may not be on the verge of getting fired (and the stories about the war in iran) is that this administration has very few backchannel ties to capitol hill
solving my airport insecurity problem by ensuring no one has a reason to go to the airport
like, you don't necessarily need to be likable or relatable in this job, but you can't just ooze contempt for everyone and everything at all times
it goes underdiscussed that leavitt is genuinely a terrible spokesperson; her whole, entire job is to sell the president's message to the public and she is comically awful at it. i'll give her that the president's message is usually incoherent and insane, but, still
i don't know what "declare victory and go home" actually accomplishes if israel decides to keep bombing iran and iran decides to keep attacking tankers
not only are you not crazy to read this into it, that's more or less exactly what they're saying. doesn't mean it'll work that way, though; it doesn't take much to keep the strait closed
you can get away with this when the economy is good and you're not, idk, involved in one war and multiple other unpopular entanglements, but the act gets tired fast when seven different colors of shit are hitting the fan
oil spiking, american citizens trapped in war zones, no clear offramp for an illegal war, but, sure, let's hear from the secretary of state about college football, seems like a great use of everyone's time, especially his own
wonder what's going on over at fox news HQ
something's very definitely going on at fox news HQ
...
Mine.
i think he's potentially willing to be even worse than noem, but i also think he's significantly more likely to beat the shit out of stephen miller in the oval office at some point
i'm glad noem got shitcanned, but it's probably worth mentioning that markwayne mullin is legitimately even less qualified to run DHS than noem is. noem at least had executive experience.
actually can't quite get over what a poor choice mullin is for this role, in basically every way, and not just for us β for the administration, too.
BREAKING: Court orders DHS to immediately STOP deploying tear gas, smoke grenades, pepper balls, & other toxic chemicals flooding Portland homes, finding residents face *irreparable* harm.
This is a critical win for our clients, who've suffered from unconstitutional government violence for months.
I think it's okay to believe keeping teens off the Internet is so important it's worth subjecting everyone to "papers please" ID checks everywhere they go online.
I just think people who believe that should have to acknowledge they are okay with activists & journalists being tortured and murdered π€·ββοΈ
Blackburn is one of the reps who introduced the Kids Online Safety Act and is leading the charge to "protect" children by censoring anything the government deems "harmful" to them online. While talking about KOSA, she also said children need to be protected "from the transgender in this culture"
so you oppose the bill now because they removed the (harmful, poorly drafted) duty of care but not before when it would just get trans kids killed?
cool. cool. seems like you've got your priorities straight.
i would respect organizations like @fairplayforkids.bsky.social so much more if they would just come out and admit that they are pro-censorship.
like, reasonable people can believe that keeping kids away from harmful content is worth collateral damage to speech.
just own that that's your position
working on a punked up studio version of this earnest lil protest banger. stay tuned
Make it stick and get these banned at your favorite local business and other public access spaces using some of our tools.

This is exactly right.
Age verification / online ID check legislation literally forces companies to collect MORE data on children (and everyone else) not less.
We desperately need privacy, antitrust, and algorithmic justice legislation.
Not censorship bills like KOSA and expanded surveillance.
You should be able to criticize your government anonymously online.
Full stop.
"Age verification" legislation is just a pretty name for "forced online ID checks," meaning everything you post is associated with your government name
We have to stop this.
