So I think it’s time for a quick refresher on what Candace Owens actually believes

humiliating honestly

nom nom nom military propaganda with a side of charlie puth

Was QAnon right about the pedophilic elite?? (um no we actually already knew that the ultra rich are addicted to power and abuse. that’s common sense i fear.)

Here's who the Washington Post just laid off.

WATCH: What if the next DHS killing isn’t videotaped? w/ @abbierichards.bsky.social www.mediamatters.org/immigration/...

By who? Who shot the person dead? You saw the video. We all know a federal agent shot a man dead who was prone on the ground. Also, it's not "according to officials." It's according to verified video seen with your eyes. Not saying what anyone can obviously see with their eyes is a form of lying.

Early DHS spin (via Fox News) is that the person shot repeatedly by Border Patrol officers in Minneapolis was armed -- note that open carrying firearms is legal with a permit and notably, they are not (yet at least) claiming that the person fired or even brandished a gun, just had one.

NYT opinion section defends enslaving AI should it become conscious. Maybe one day we can talk about real problems too!!! 🤞🏻

It's already so weird that the people obsessed with creating all-purpose AI to be their personal slave are also obsessed with said personal slave being conscious of its enslavement. But explicitly arguing that it'll be conscious but that shouldn't affect how you treat it is actually evil.

i was curious what the search result would be and.... woof

Is Taylor Swift selling Nazi merch? No. Is the rise of fascism making us more susceptible to rage bait? Definitely.

since political correctness is all topical again, here’s a video I made deep diving into how conservatives manufactured the PC panic: youtu.be/nD1nJ7g8j94?...

hey @nytimes.com: there is no counterpoint here. There are no credible legal experts who would EVER say that the US military has any right or authority to blow civilian craft out of the Caribbean and kill their crews from afar without any provocation. There is no other side to this question.

WHAT. ARE. WE. DOING.

Update: the Guardian has added two paragraphs addressing animal agriculture's role in driving soy production. I can't find a note regarding the edit on the article. I like the guardian (and am a subscriber) but that was an interesting choice. The original archived version: archive.ph/kR7GV

The fact that this article on soy causing deforestation doesn't cover how all that soy is being used is a wild media failure. The vast majority (70-80%) is being fed to animals. It's not the "world's taste for soya" it's the world's taste for meat. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

New from @abbierichards.bsky.social, based in part on research I provided: TikTok Shop is now selling supplements from a company co-founded by "Plandemic" conspiracy theorist Mikki Willis. The company claims the supplements “bulletproof your immune system,” likely in violation of TikTok rules.

New from me: a deep dive into the grifty world of measles misinformation. If you sow enough doubt and fear and confusion, you can sell more supplements to "bulletproof" your followers immune systems against measles. www.mediamatters.org/tiktok/tikto...

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

"fascism is a temper tantrum disguised as an ideology" = well, that's the internet won for the day; logging off, ttyt

what can i say? i’m good at what i do

THE HYPOCRISY IS THE POINT!!

hey i know morbid curiosity is a thing but like…. you don’t need to watch a video that you know will be gross and disturbing

Trump is deploying the National Guard to DC by using a classic fascist propaganda tactic: attacking homeless people

🥹☺️

so i’m doing some research into the ideologies driving the race for AI (especially AGI) and uhhhh wtf?! i’ve only scraped the surface but i fear the bottom of this rabbit hole is eugenics

👯‍♂️

My friend Chris was kidnapped by Israel for trying to bring food into Gaza and we just learnt he was beaten by Israeli police. We demand Chris' release ASAP

Bring Chris Smalls home SAFELY!!!! 🍉

Racist AI videos are going viral on TikTok. Here's just a handful from the past few weeks: www.youtube.com/watch?v=C16o...

I’ve been thinking about it a solid 24 hours or so and cannot come up with a single positive purpose for Veo and its ability to generate hyperrealistic video with a few sentences. None, nada, zilch

NEW from me: TikTokers have been using tools like Google’s Veo 3 to AI-generate racist videos. The videos are garnering millions of views by bringing centuries-old racist tropes to life. It’s an actual dystopian nightmare! www.mediamatters.org/tiktok/racis...

this court says that allowing EPA to regulate carbon emissions is a "major question" that demands congressional debate. but allowing the president to, with a flick of the wrist, end a straightforward constitutional right is something that must be allowed to stand?

military propaganda: don’t you wanna see it go boom? 💥

Welcome back to Fascist Propaganda 101. Today we’re answering the question: Is protesting…. cringe?

if dems want messaging help, stop telling people you're "fighting back." it sounds like you're being mugged. call off the podcaster search, take your ridiculous money pile and try opening some food banks and free clinics. hurricanes are coming and the feds have no plan. looks like an opening to me.

Not to be dramatic but I spent months and months working on this video deep diving into the history of attacks on DEI. It is my baby and I’d love for y’all to check it out! 🙏🏻 youtu.be/nD1nJ7g8j94?...

Hi, spent months working on this with @abbierichards.bsky.social and would love if you watched/shared! www.youtube.com/watch?v=nD1n...

New from me: Candace Owens has made 6 (six) hours of anti-trans content targeting French First Lady Brigitte Macron and the true crime girlies on TikTok are eating it up www.mediamatters.org/tiktok/canda...

It appears that the CDC has removed its guidelines for contraception and STIs. www.cdc.gov/contraceptio...

I’ve gotten several of these requests to use my pictures for piece of artwork. Listen, I love being told that I’m your muse but…. what is this scam? Is this new? I’ve only encountered it in my DMs on Bluesky.

Unsurprisingly, as TikTok goes down tonight Meta is flooding my FYP with ads for Instagram

Every time I think that the TikTok ban saga couldn’t possibly get any more stupid, I am proven wrong.

from Rednote lmao

This massive Rednote migration is one of the funniest things I’ve seen in a while.

My video about emotionally reckoning with the sentiment that “It feels like the world is ending” has seemingly impacted a LOT of people. It’s too long to share on Bluesky but here’s a link: www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8FDPNDf/ Hopefully it helps you too 💔

I saw a TikTok from @abbierichards.bsky.social describing this feeling as “amorphous grief for the suffering of the entire world and all the better futures that could have been” and holy shit that quote’s been rattling around my brain ever since.
