Last year I cited ADL data to show that 100% of antisemitic hate is from the Right & 0% from the Left. ADL then censored its own data to hide the fact that antisemitism is largely a right wing issue
So, zero surprise to see ADL now whitewash Musk’s repeated Nazi salutes

just read the Trump admin's executive orders related to trans ppl & they (unsurprisingly) don't understand anything at all about "biology" & "sex". this video explains why these human facets are multifaceted & variable, rather than immutable & strictly binary:www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZymY...

...& since Trump admin borrowed "gender critical" language (re: "adult human female" & "defending women"), here is a deep-dive into why GC/TERFism is inherently anti-feminist (in addition to the fact that they routinely collude with the far-right/fascists):juliaserano.substack.com/p/a-gender-c...

...finally, some were confused by Trump admin defining female & male based on "producing large vs small reproductive cells" – that is also a GC/TERF import. this essay explains this esoteric talking point & why biology is far more complicated than this:juliaserano.substack.com/p/why-are-ge...

NWS Los Angeles: Significant Fire Weather conditions are ongoing into Thursday with an increase in winds expected (especially Thurs AM) and severely dry conditions. Continue to avoid creating sparks, be aware of your surroundings and report any smoke to authorities.
When a Bishop at an inauguration prayer service calls for mercy and compassion and is accused of attacking the president and threatened by his supporters, I think we've reached the end of the notion of civil society. These people are so blinded by hatred and fear and enamoured with power that it calls their very humanity into question.

Musk's straight-arm gesture embraced by right-wing extremists regardless of what he meant

All my coworkers who voted for Trump-- coworkers who seem to actually think well of me, and who are normally very chatty and gregarious-- won't seem to look me in the eye today. Huh. Weird.

Given the number of new users, hopefully, flocking to the #fediverse from the other places, I’m going to be boosting every #introduction post I see. We all remember how difficult it was to establish a network here.
If this bothers you, you might want to mute the hashtag #introduction (or me) for a while.

I want to give a huge THANK YOU to @marci @mike and @emilynguyen of the @Flipboard and @surf teams for meeting with myself and @beardedtechguy last night.
The conversation was absolutely amazing, filled with laughs and good information talked about with regards to Surf itself.
I'm so honored to be able to participate in the early beta of Surf and to provide feedback to Marci, Mike and Emily that will hopefully help make Surf bigger and better than it already is.
It's so great knowing that when you do give feedback, that feedback is being listened to and often acted upon in the coming days/weeks/months. This is what makes good apps become great apps and I firmly believe that Surf is well on the way to having a very bright and popular future!
THANK YOU again for such a great and wonderful meeting last night!

An extremely endangered species due to habitat loss and not reaching sexual maturity until 14-20 years of age. But if they do reach maturity, they incredibly show no physical signs of aging and are capable of reproducing through eight+ decades of life.

in reply to Daniel 🐅🏔 • • •The batture is a unique ecosystem in this area. Thick woods of water-loving tree species line the river side of the levee in areas where the ground is exposed during lower flow times. Huge cottonwoods, sycamores and willows, tied together with vines of all sorts.
On this day in late April it was teeming with birds. Orioles were singing from every direction, and there would be a flash and suddenly something like the cuckoo above would appear just a few feet away.
Magical
