Alberta votes Oct 19 on leaving Canada. If it goes, the Charter stops shielding queer Albertans at the line. A canvasser said it plain: gay marriage "would need to be revoted on." Win once. Lose in one autumn. Whose marriage belongs on a ballot? #TransRights #QueerNews #Alberta #LGBTQ #Politics

A woman in a Marietta Kroger lot, engine off, doing the math that decides tank or shoes. That math is the war. Not the map on cable news. The math in the lot. What did this week's spike cost you? #Iran #Inflation #GasPrices #News #Politics #WorkingClass

The GOP's whole proof Mitch McConnell is alive: one tweet from a CNN pundit, claiming a chat about Iran, Ukraine, and shit. Sure, Scott and I had fucking hot brunch with Cleopatra. @dworkin.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy #Politics #News #McConnell #Resist #Democracy https://twp.ai/4hth9Z

Ken Paxton, $153,000 salary. At least 15 properties worth roughly $9 million, per the NYT. Six votes from an address he hadn't lived at in two years. He walked out when asked. #Politics #QueerNews #TransRights #Democracy #News #Resist thistleandmoss.com

JBS pledged net zero by 2040. Five years of headlines and investor goodwill. The new goal drops Scope 3 — 90 to 97% of its footprint. Their own officer: it was never a promise. Then what were we applauding? #Climate #ClimateCrisis #News #Journalism #Resist #Politics thistleandmoss.com

SCOTUS struck the emergency tariffs down. The Trade Rep told the Senate the authorities changed but the strategy didn't. A finished bridge, Detroit to Windsor, stands unopened. Who loses a case and keeps the money? #Politics #Democracy #News #Resist #Journalism #Tariffs thistleandmoss.com

Elliot Page: five minutes of a three-hour film. The boycott ran four months. The Odyssey made $300 million anyway. They got outvoted by people who wanted to see a boat. #TransRights #QueerNews #Pride #TransJoy thistleandmoss.com

33,739 comments to the FCC on labeling TV with queer families. 9 in 10 said no. 57% of pro-label mail was copy-pasted; 96% of opposition came from real people. #QueerNews #LGBTQ #FCC #Censorship #Resist 1/2
