one of many reasons I want to see Republicans wiped out in this election is that I want their attacks on trans people to be seen as a total electoral loser I want the people pushing this shit, including at the Times, humiliated, and I want to see Dems advocating for trans rights as a winning issue
If you live in one of these 10 states (AZ, TX AR, MS, FL, GA, TN, KY, IN, OH), today is THE LAST DAY you can register to vote. Even if you think you're registered already, double check to see if your registration is still active. Please do this, it only takes a few minutes. Pass it on.
There is no Green Party anymore. There is only a con artist with ties to Russia running a conservative-backed psyop designed to siphon votes from actual progressives. www.salon.com/2024/09/23/j...
The Green Party leader has hired a GOP consulting firm and worked with Trump-affiliated lawyers

First time i heard "aliens" in this context was the phrase "resident aliens" in the late sixties. As a scifi kid i had visions of ET. But it was mostly outreach ads for available services and when my parents explained i found it a whole lot less exotic and interesting. Dehumanizing flavor is newer.

So I love this law. Basically, California spends billions replacing gas lines on a regular basis to make sure they aren’t leaking. The bill identifies neighborhoods up for replacement; if the neighborhood prefers, they will shut off the gas line and buy everyone free electric appliances instead.
👀 ⚡🧵 Last week, California passed a law that lets whole neighborhoods electrify, shutting down gas pipelines that would otherwise need replacement. The law allows up to 30 pilot projects through 2030, requiring that 2/3 of affected property owners agree to get of gas. www.kqed.org/news/1200671...
The law will allow up to 30 neighborhoods to end gas utility service and swap out gas appliances for electric ones — at no cost to residents.
It doesn’t start with Kristallnacht. It doesn’t start with gas chambers. It doesn’t start with concentration camps. It starts with saying immigrants eat your pets.
So, no surprise to see settler fascists supporting Netanyahu's genocidal project and sketching out their latest expansionist back to the land fantasies on the imagined corpses of the victims-to-be of the latest incursion. It's textbook. History textbook.
