politics @lemmy.world•'The president is an idiot': Senator unloads on Trump's 'really dumb' obsessionEnglish
10·15 hours agoI researched your claims because I was curious about this having never heard about any of this.
What I found is that “against trans rights” seems to come solely or mostly from a leaked text message that I’m guessing you’re referring to.
I found this article which looked at his overall record: https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2024/10/rep-ruben-gallego-a-champion-for-lgbtq-rights-in-congress/ and it’s overall positive including on trans rights.
As for the leaked text message it seems the original source was here: https://humanevents.com/2025/11/25/exclusive-reuben-gallegos-leaked-texts-mocking-appearance-of-democrat-women-revealed (archive link so you don’t have to give the website your click https://archive.is/yaSNB)
That’s from Jack Posobiec’s (trump supporter) website. Reading what Gallego actually wrote I must confess while I’m not completely on board what he’s saying I do kind of understand where he’s coming from. Some people have the perhaps false impression that Democrats are focused on correcting people for minor things but a lot of that is because of right-wing propaganda ex: from Fox.

World News@lemmy.world•Glass Onion: Peeling Back the Layers of a Pro-China Online EcosystemEnglish
21·16 hours agoI wonder if some of those people involved in this worked a second shift to help get Trump elected. I believe China does have pro-Trump bots just like Russia does.

Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL the last person imprisoned under the Witchcraft Act 1735 was in 1941, A medium claimed to have spoken to the crew of the battleship HMS Barnam, whose sinking had not been made publicEnglish
91·2 days agoWikipedia says:
The Witchcraft Act 1735 (9 Geo. 2. c. 5) was an act of the Parliament of Great Britain in 1735 which made it a crime for a person to claim that any human being had magical powers or was guilty of practising witchcraft. With this, the law abolished the hunting and executions of witches in Great Britain. The maximum penalty set out by the act was a year’s imprisonment.
It thus marks the end point of the witch trials in the Early Modern period for Great Britain and the beginning of the “modern legal history of witchcraft”, repealing the earlier Witchcraft Acts which were originally based in an intolerance toward practitioners of magic but became mired in contested Christian doctrine and superstitious witch-phobia.
So likely actually she got charged for claiming she has magical powers since the law says that it’s a crime for a person (which I assuming includes yourself) to claim that someone has magical powers.

politics @lemmy.world•DOJ won’t investigate killing of Minneapolis woman shot by ICEEnglish
2·2 days agoI’m very grateful you do that! It does all add up. Hopefully Democrats can start having real conversations with other people, I don’t mean trying to change the most die-hard MAGA-type person but there are lots of people who don’t think much about politics, are undecided or independent. If we can reach those people in masses I think it could start causing a shift from red to blue and hopefully it’s enough to save our country.

politics @lemmy.world•DOJ won’t investigate killing of Minneapolis woman shot by ICEEnglish
52·2 days agoThe difference between a blue state and red state is often times just a few percentage points of voting. This is not a good idea. Also there are so many amazing Democrats who have no choice but to live in red states. Moving is really expensive. Will you be willing to pay everyone’s moving expenses? How will we afford a home or apartment in another state? Will we all have jobs? You will hurt a countless number of people if this happens.

28·2 days agoThe only thing people should be giving up is their Amazon Prime subscriptions and AWS hosting. You’re very likely getting ripped off and overcharged if you use AWS. Also although I recommend ordering from other websites if you have no choice but to use Amazon you don’t need Prime for free shipping, just wait until you have enough stuff in your cart such that you’re over the free shipping threshold. Don’t order unnecessary stuff to get over the threshold.

News@lemmy.world•Top DOJ officials quit after their division refused to probe Minnesota ICE shootingEnglish
1·3 days agoAlmost certainly it will be a thing but it will be more difficult than past midterms. In the meantime we got to keep fighting and doing everything we can to tank Trump’s popularity (things such as talking to people who don’t follow politics much) because the less popular Trump is and the less support the more likely people will refuse the risk of rigging/stopping the election.

17·5 days agoSpotify is still giving tons of money to Joe Rogan. Until they fix that they deserve to be boycotted. Also the headline is misleading because the contract simply expired.
I hope we can have leaders like Mamdani everywhere. We can if enough people fight for it.

Tesla@lemmy.zip•Tesla loses title as world's biggest electric vehicle maker as sales fall for second year in a rowEnglish
1·6 days agoI hope nobody buys a Tesla. It’s an inferior car so it’s not even about politics anymore, you can get a better car for less money by going with another brand.
I remember Brave was popular among MAGA-type people during Trump’s first term. I suspect it’s likely the same.
The logo has a striking resemblance to one I remember seeing on a big pro-Trump community. It’s described here https://www.vox.com/2019/8/29/20838289/trump-fascist-lion-head-bull-testicles-video-twitter basically the logo is associated with Mussolini.
In addition if you check the Wikipedia article you’ll notice this:
In August 2016, the company had received at least US$7 million in angel investments from venture capital firms, including Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund, Propel Venture Partners, Pantera Capital, Foundation Capital and the Digital Currency Group.[13]
Moreover some right-wing type people expressed their “solidarity” with Brendan Eich for his anti LGBT stance so they used Brave.
I see, I guess I’ll have to see if I can find any troubleshooting information or take it up with Zip.














Bring as many good Reddit users to Lemmy or Piefed and make it go down to zero.
