Kyle Rittenhouse was an honored guest at a 2024 gathering of Oregon Republican activists. This is the monstrously depraved tweet he sent tonight. These are the people who claim to be defending Christianity and “western civilization.”

This regime excels at one thing. Killing people in a myriad of ways, each crueler than the one before. . www.independent.co.uk/life-style/h...

Need all the PaRappa games to come to the Switch, things are dire but I'm pretty sure being able to once again bake a cake with a giant rapping chicken would fix me

I could be hungry, homeless, and butt naked in the freezing cold with no plasma left to sell and signing up to be an ICE Agent still wouldn’t cross my mind.

Qualified immunity was a mistake

January 7 - Zora Neal Hurston Day As a preservationist she preserved the language of African American people, especially in Florida. On her day we will tell folktales, act them out, and wear beautiful hats! #booksky #teachersky tinyurl.com/56ryztvz

Second opinion

also worth remarking that responding to "why can't AI replace you?" is a failure of framing, which @anthonymoser.com advises us that we should always Kirbyrize:

Now seems like a swell time to point out that Frontline just released this excellent 11-minute mini-documentary about what happened inside CECOT.

iCloud, Mega, and as a torrent. Archivists have uploaded the 60 Minutes episode Bari Weiss spiked.

With the 60 minutes leak, the many recent Epstein releases, etc., I think we are seeing the future of government accountability under authoritarianism: Leaks, hacks, data dumps, releases of big document caches. Journalists and the public will have to learn how to digest this stuff. 🧵

Today is a good day to pick up Micah's book. If you don't already have these skills, let me tell you they are going to be very useful in the near future.

The guy who famously crosses every border in one night without documentation?

love how "classic redaction fail" is enough of a thing that you know exactly what it means i can't remember my pdf spec at the moment but how much you wanna bet there's even moar text in these things

Just watched the whole 60 Minutes CECOT episode. It's a pretty standard segment for 60 Minutes, taking something that's been reported on in other publications and formats and telling it to a wider audience with first person, on camera accounts. It's not earth shattering, but it is newsworthy.

‘Here’s a snide way of summarising modern British history: a 400-year campaign by the propertied classes to make the English forget about the 1640s.’ Neal Ascherson on England’s monarchism problem, from the blog: www.lrb.co.uk/blog/2025/de...

The news industry has been critical of federal efforts to prevent the regulation of AI. Now, we’re fighting to ensure that AI is regulated in our newsrooms. Sign the NewsGuild-CWA’s petition on AI here: actionnetwork.org/petitions/st...

We're proud to support our nonprofit journalism siblings as they fight for robust safeguards around the use of AI at their publications. At Mother Jones and Reveal, we're hard at work negotiating similar protections with CIR management. Solidarity!

At CalMatters/The Markup union, we're proud of the AI article we ratified in our contract this year. It ensures that no union employee will be laid off because of AI, guarantees that humans are writing the news you read, and keeps our content from being used to train AI without our consent. 1/2

Today, we join unionized nonprofit newsrooms across the country as they stand shoulder-to-shoulder to demand that news industry leaders agree to common-sense guardrails around the implementation of artificial intelligence to protect the integrity, quality, and accuracy of our journalism.

Today, we had an all-day bargaining session with @propublica.org management. Unfortunately, they did not bring a counter proposal on AI or agree to any of the guardrails we've proposed.

Corporate Media is going to pretend that Trump is heartbroken about the two West Virginian National Guardsmen being shot in DC, but the entire point of moving a standing army into a peaceful city was to induce violence by The People to justify more violence by Trump on The People in retaliation.

White people when you say you value countless Indigenous people's lives above a dog

Reducing Kristi Noem down to "puppy killer" was bad enough before when she was mostly terrorizing Native people in South Dakota, but it's to be expected since nobody wants to listen to Indigenous people. But if you're still doing it now, seeing how terrible she is to HUMAN BEINGS? You're garbage

Reuters reached out to everyone that Trump or his subordinates singled out publicly for retribution, and reviewed hundreds of official orders, directives and public records. The result: the most comprehensive accounting yet of his campaign of payback. www.reuters.com/investigates...

The detained woman is the mother of Leavitt's nephew. Wouldn't be surprised if they're using DHS to get rid of the mom.

This is a really big story that should not be missed. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Every year around this time, I ask folks to consider doing something in support of Native people. This year, please join me in supporting the Native Organizers Alliance as they build grassroots power, defend Native voting rights, and equip our people for collective struggle through skill-building.

Epstein’s work with Israel is not a secret. We have the evidence. @ryangrim.bsky.social breaks down the latest: 👇

Epstein emails (2.5 GB) Approximately 20,900 unredacted emails and file attachments sent and received by Jeffrey Epstein's [email protected] email address over nineteen years. ddosecrets.com/article/epst... Help us keep publishing: donorbox.org/ddosecrets

extremely funny for them to contemplate this after just getting their asses handed to them on their first attempt at show trials because this administration can’t tie their own shoes, sure, go for it, those six can use the campaign donations

South African police are investigating allegations that ex-President Jacob Zuma's daughter lured 17 men into joining Russian mercenary forces in Ukraine. Duduzile Zuma-Sambudla is currently on trial for unrelated charges around deadly riots in South Africa in 2021. apnews.com/article/sout...

The way the word “slop” has re-entered the lexicon as a general purpose word describing “someone’s made-up bullshit that’s being forced on people” (even outside of AI contexts) is good because it feels like we didn’t have a simple way to point out how common that is aside from domain-specific jargon
