#Climatechange is the #1 threat to the world, so we need leaders to phase out FFs & mitigate CC. You wouldn't know there's a problem bc conservatives refuse to address it (owned by FF cos.).

"We need a #climate arts attack

We're in deep, deep, sh*t

We need every actor & musician to be shouting out about climate breakdown at every opportunity

We need flash flooding on
BBC Eastenders

We need A&E overwhelmed by heatwave victims on
BBC Casualty

We need this NOW."

Via Lawrence Tribe:

The great federal judge David Tatel “writes that he stepped down from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit in January in part because he was tired of having his work reviewed ‘by a Supreme Court that seemed to hold in such low regard the principles to which I’ve dedicated my life.’”

Donald #Trump is in breach of a British High Court order to pay £300,000 in legal costs to Christopher Steele, the former MI6 agent who compiled the Steele document.

Steele tells Sky News that Trump has been in breach of the judge's order "for two months now." https://news.sky.com/story/donald-trump-in-breach-of-300-000-legal-costs-ruling-after-losing-uk-dossier-case-against-former-mi6-spy-13148972

Do read this story with care. One of Trump’s major advisers, a candidate for chief of staff in a second Trump term is a white Christian nationalist pushing a “post-constitutional” plan for sweeping Presidential powers. This is a detailed action plan for governing unconstitutionally. https://wapo.st/3VyftdG

About time! But would SCOTUS ban this one too? Or is that just for women… [Folks, that was rhetorical. We know the answer]

“A male birth control gel is one step closer to reality

Researchers at Endocrine Society’s conference in Boston presented encouraging earlystage clinical trial results of a male birth control method that takes the form of a hormonal gel.” #contraception

You won't find this on the NY Times homepage, but "If Trump Wins" is very much the kind of journalism we need from the most important news organization in America.

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/06/07/us/politics/trump-policy-list-2025.html?unlocked_article_code=1.yE0.HGUJ.n4G0j7au9_es&smid=url-share

If the Times -- and the rest of our news media -- did this kind of thing relentlessly, they'd be doing their jobs.

It's now or never, journalists. You -- and democracy, which makes what you do possible -- are a prime target of the fascists.

Anyone thinking about supporting Donald Trump should know that electing him means that you are actually voting for the dangerous freak Russ Vought. He and his fellow christofascists will control a Trump White House.

They're openly promising to ban birth control, eliminate same-sex marriage, end public schools, and build concentration camps for tens of millions of unauthorized immigrants. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/06/08/russ-vought-trump-second-term-radical-constitutional/

59 years ago today, Griswold v. Connecticut guaranteed the right to birth control.

Justice Thomas says the Supreme Court should "reconsider" that ruling.

And this week, 38 GOP senators voted against the Right to Contraception Act.

Republicans are coming for birth control.

A criminal organization.

Republicans line up to support a convicted felon.
Republicans embrace the election denial and lies. In complete moral collapse Mike Johnson has used his position as Speaker, to lie repeatedly. To aid a criminal charged with the most serious crimes against the United States.

Republicans spread misinformation. This pattern of deceit and disregard for the truth is deeply concerning, as Republicans undermine democratic institutions and the rule of law.

This election it is crucial that those in positions of authority be held accountable for such breaches of public trust. Republican Crime org is about to get an electoral ass whooping.

Vote Democrat all day, everyday.

It just clicked in my brain. What I haven't been able to articulate about why I'm so anxious about #Windows Recall. I'm sure others have already gotten to where I am.

It's worse than "a system that tracks everything you do" and stores that info in a basic database that could be easily compromised.
It's worse than a nanny surveillance tool for companies to spy on their employees.

It's inescapable.

It doesn't matter if I make a dozen "how to disable recall" tutorials. The second YOUR data shows up on someone ELSE'S screen, it's in THEIR recall database.

It won't matter if you're a master #security expert specialist. You can't account for EVERY other computer you've ever interacted with. If a family member looks up an old email with your personal data in it, your data is now at risk.

If THEIR system is compromised YOUR data is at risk.

I just went from "vague feeling of unease" to "actively writing templates to canvas elected officials, regulators, and attorneys general."
