Big protest at the Lincoln Monument. Seven D.C. high schools walked out to come here.

Paramount should enjoy its growing news monopoly while they have it because when Democrats win back power we are going to break up these anti-democratic information conglomerates. All of them.

New: As David Ellison prepares to take control of CNN, legendary CBS News producer Mary Walsh, who is exiting, sent a goodbye note to colleagues. In the note, Walsh writes, "We’ve been told to aim our reporting at a particular part of the political spectrum. Honestly, I don’t know how to do that."

God what to happened to Gooseworx is so fucking upset. I hate fandom culture man

Terminally-online redditors when the main character in a show is treated exactly as a main character and does main character things

‘The Amazing Digital Circus’ creator Gooseworx has deactivated her Reddit account after facing backlash from fans upset about Pomni and Jax getting the spotlight. She also says she’s unsure whether she’ll return to the franchise in the future.

In a blatant violation of NY state and NYC law, NYU Langone has shut down its youth gender clinic and caused a potential forced detransition to its patients. Where is the NY AG and Mayor Mamdani? www.nytimes.com/2026/02/17/n...

vmfunc.re/blog/persona This is who you're making attendees send their data to when you require interaction with Persona. Please, please give another thought to requiring this.

Please read, since VRChat uses Persona

@dtupper.com I know a lot of us throw things your way that are noise, but please, can you read this vmfunc.re/blog/persona/

vmfunc.re/blog/persona/ TL;DR someone just proved that Discord, Open AI and KYC systems are forwarding everyone's age check info to the US government for use as a database linked to your financial data.

Every American reading this, regardless of color, political party, or profession needs to read this, because it’s been used against all of you:  vmfunc.re/blog/persona/

so it turns out that the identity verification provder persona, with its well documented links to peter thiel from the epstein files and palintir, is keeping all data of targets and linking them to intelligence databases and watch lists, exactly like you suspected vmfunc.re/blog/persona

vmfunc.re/blog/persona/ ChatGPT, VRChat and Discord’s ID verification provider has official ties to the US government and actively helps flag suspicious dissidents using AI facial scanning.

Pandora's panopticon has opened. Oh. I knew it was bad, but it's so much worse. Oh it's so much worse than I expected. Well. What the fuck do we do now?

How did we get the NFL in the national divorce?

When you get visited by three Puerto Rican ghosts

i dont think one thing should replace discord, i think like three things at minimum should replace discord. it being an All-in-One app has ruined so many parts of online.

todays a big day for longtime discord haters like myself 🫩

Damn that’s crazy. On a completely unrelated note www.wikihow.com/Discord-Alte...

Remember to contact your local reps, support advocate groups for online privacy and safety, and tell your friends to start using more personal privacy measures such as VPN or enabling encryption settings on some apps. This issue is more than just discord, jumping ship doesn't solve the problem.

anyway lets all agree to build and use the free internet

queer expression is taking the hit for jeffrey fucking epstein

it drives you insane how much erosion of freedom is justified by concern for kids when the people who actually hurt them will never face consequences

Fascinating map. Unsurprisingly San Francisco, Sacramento, and nearby were one of the last places alcohol was still allowed just before nationwide prohibition in the 1920s, however, the other ones are also worth noting: New Orleans, Minneapolis, St Louis, Milwaukee, and some parts of NJ.

Oh my god, so many people are canceling Nitro that it's having issues processing it, cook 'em hard bois.

HAPPY BAD BUNNY DAY, AMERICA. ENJOY!!! —GOVERNOR GCN

I have now seen the Green Day performance and it brought me some joy when I really needed it. I get why some of y'all think they didn't go hard enough, but they did get up there and sing songs that were about Bush but are even more appropriate for this admin and that's pretty fucking amazing.

as you watch all of the rah-rah pageantry of the Super Bowl it’s astounding to remember that MAGA is so weird and offputting that they’ve apparently given football to the libs in the national divorce

Minnesota ICE-watchers did this. By relentlessly documenting ICE/BP/DHS abuses—taking on personal risk to do so—they’ve gotten the horrors into more information streams. Got more people to pay attention, undermined Trump regime lies, and shifted the stances of some Democratic officeholders.

Oh she’s EXTORTING US.

It is increasingly clear that stripping the Department of Homeland Security down to the studs — ICE, Border Patrol, all of it — is the minimum we must do when we regain power. But we can’t afford to wait that long to rein in these agencies.

This is Alex Pretti.

Nation's largest nurses union repeats calls for ICE abolition, pledges to do "everything in our power to vote out any elected official who supports funding for this all-out assault on the health, safety, and civil rights of our people."

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

Nazi shit.

A few months ago, ICE hired me I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!" My latest for Slate

Next commenter says CPD and CBP are behaving no differently than the Gestapo. "You have state power. Fucking use it."

Jesus Christ this is civil war territory. This is the kind of shit we were reading about when the Arab Spring was going on in Syria

ICE/CBP just shot two people in Portland.
