ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there. They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

"Stripping anonymity from the internet would constitute one of the most sweeping rollbacks of civil rights in recent history. It would allow for unprecedented levels of mass surveillance and censorship, endangering the most marginalized members of society."

I truly do think all of the "Noem out, Mullin in" posts and stories are failing American democracy right now! Trump is announcing his nominee. That's it. If the Senate majority wants to confirm him, they're a part of this—even after knowing what they know now. And that matters come November.

I was a lot happier way back when every single day didn't sound like a new verse of "We Didn't Start The Fire"...

Never heard of this law before right this second but holy fuck if it does not 100% check out

In response to his horrible polling…..

-Zero Congressional consultation or approval. -Zero preparation of public for need/consequences of war. -Zero evidence of thought about "OK, what might the other side do?" Next month. Next year. -Zero mention of anti-nuke agreement Trump voided, or Trump claim last year that nukes "obliterated."

cool that the two legal methods for removing the incompetent, incoherent, sundowning, criminal president are a) his cabinet, who are all worse than he is, or b) congress, which I'm pretty sure no longer exists other than to hold show trials

This is a Nazi move. Stripping people of rights, invalidating their IDs, setting them up for criminalization and imprisonment. If you don't support trans rights, you support fascism.

Trans rights are human rights and if one of is ain’t free then none of us are.

Reminder that Gavin Newsom fuckin sucks

This is a fascist, eliminationist project to eradicate trans people from public life. Full stop. Any Dem - like Newsom - who doesn’t fully unequivocally support trans people at this moment, who doesn’t fight this tooth and fucking nail, needs to be pushed out of power asap. Reddest of lines.

patreon and twitch using persona is extremely baffling because it's not even necessary for them to verify your age through biometric data when they're literally already asking for your fucking social security number and tax information btw

they will lie to your face without blinking, why do you feel so reticent to return in kind???

it's literally not even illegal to lie to a corporation. it's their liability if someone lies. not yours!!!!!!

photoshop a fake ID, feed them fake webcam footage, use a voice modulator. you can just do what we all used to do back in the day: make shit up to bypass age verification. they don't have any means of catching you. so don't just hand over your personal details without a fight.

this is why we don’t comply in advance. relatedly, this is why i am irate at every children’s hospital that cancelled their gender affirming care programs without a fight. when you have the law and the facts on your side you especially have to fight back.

of COURSE there's a technology the left is excited about

genAI is dying repost to make it die faster

there is an extremely simple answer to the "abandon trans rights" folks and it is "no" and also "fuck you"

More people should watch this and create stuff like this, it's imperative the furry fandom just hates conservatives. I mean vehemently despise conservatives to the point where it's constantly in our media ecosystem www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrIB...

I know this makes me an extremist but I think our baby concentration camps should be abolished.

We all love a recurring boss fight, even if it's technically not. Check out Super Ultra Presto TRANSFORM-O! or else the Yakra line will be very sad. clockelixir.bandcamp.com/track/super-...

Say it with me: "You can't revoke scientific findings."

one of america’s most cherished folk singers wrote an entire song about what a cruel criminal piece of shit donald trump’s father was all the way back in 1954 and somehow this basically never comes up in any story about the trumps, they have literally *always* been this way

Discord lied. they’re now sending scanned IDs to persona, a third party company. “facial scans will never leave your device” -discord lmao.

How many more times will we have to read the words, “It’s way worse than you think?” open.substack.com/pub/luciantr...

This is why Minnesotans are begging folks outside the state to keep talking about us. Please don’t let the world forget we are still in danger.

When a sitting representative refers to the Super Bowl halftime show as “pornography,” people should use that to reflect on how they and other representatives are simultaneously working to ban, censor, and restrict “pornography” and what that actually means

VA Gov. Spanberger (moderate, was in CIA) and NYC Mayor Mamdani (left, is in DSA) both taking steps to block local law enforcement from helping ICE as it violently violates people's rights is a good example of how the relevant divide in the Dem coalition isn't center-left, it's fight-don't fight.

You know what they’re going to store in those warehouses? People

I really want people to think about this. After all the insane lawsuits, all the threats, all the bullshit weve seen from this admin and the targets who kneeled in fear, an average Joe called the president a Pedophile protector to his face and didn't get touched. That's the Power of a union.

I've never had Nitro because an ever increasing amount per month for an IM app that always has felt a bit dodgy and in the news for bad reasons. It seems like just an IM app is impossible to get right

Sometimes the timeline just lines up right

crickets from the free speech crowd, of course

MAGA-aligned military commanders are pressuring enlisted service members to go to the Melania movie and bring their families. Troops at 8 different bases have complained. www.businessinsider.com/us-military-...

this came to me in a dream

Once again, it turns out “fully autonomous” means “a guy in the Philippines.”

We’ve been generationally robbed by the dumbest and most violent group to have ever lived in human history. Capitalism and those that worship it are a death cult that will destroy the world.

Happy bandcamp friday! Shouting out my friends here: You should check out the Chrono Trigger punk rock opera by @weffjebster.bsky.social , Ipso Facto Meeny Moe-MAGICO with such tracks as Super Ultra Presto TRANSFORM-O clockelixir.bandcamp.com/album/ipso-f...

“.. Our BTC price target is 0.0. That’s not just for shock factor. It’s where the math takes us,” the strategist said, noting that Bitcoin has failed to function as a dollar hedge and instead operates as “a speculative instrument correlated to the Nasdaq.” #Bitcoin seekingalpha.com/news/4547997...

Democracy dies in Bezos #JeffBezos #WashingtonPost #Melania #Journalism #Trump #DemocracyDiesInDarkness

Name them shame them

All true, but the mainstream media is also failing to directly say “data centers in space are impossible and Elon musk lies all the time about stuff” which allows him to pump his stocks!

So weird how this keeps happening. www.haaretz.com/us-news/2026...

But Bezos had $75 million to spend on Melania’s vanity project.
