A diabetic woman with an infected foot, a man with a facial tumor the size of a tennis ball: These are patients at the Samaritan Clinic, which serves people without health insurance in Albany, GA. Not far from it is the region's largest hospital. So why do some residents turn to Samaritan for care?

Porco Rosso for me.

to every cop in america: you’re a fascist thug. get a real fucking job.

This is how they did it in Iron Curtain countries. Dissident on the sidewalk. Black car pulls up and goons pop out and drag them away.

What The Fuck. Arrested for "obstructing a roadway." She's clearly standing on the sidewalk.

From today's Haaretz newsletter: "Jewish and Arab citizens of Israel have tried to assist Gaza residents, only to discover that doing so is extraordinarily difficult. Credit card companies and banks in Israel and around the world are blocking attempts to transfer funds to Gaza"

Every few years, an optimistic studio trying to do a "gritty, realistic" take on a public domain property like Robin Hood or King Arthur:

Quick reminder that, like "The Surgeon's Photograph" of the Loch Ness Monster and the original Bigfoot tracks, the hoaxers who perpetrated the original crop circles came forward, showed everyone how they did it, and confessed. And then everyone ignored them, cuz the fantasy was more fun. 🤷

A Dutch worker went viral after explaining to their American boss that they have a life outside work.

Please… we are watching these people die. She has a very young son. I don’t know how to keep begging my peers to care about other people. Please. They aren’t asking us to fix all of their problems- they’re asking us to stand with them. Recognize them as fellow living beings by engaging.

just retire you are way past your expiration date and worse than useless

Why was this not your focus in 2025 before I lost my health insurance because I could not afford the $1,000 a month premium (the lowest option offered to me)?

I remember @foldablehuman.bsky.social making the horrifying point in his NFTs video that the mechanics of blockchain technology as append-only deliberately make it so any image is *impossible to remove*.

Also always true

🇨🇺 Cuba’s gov't, led by Pres. Miguel Díaz-Canel, has publicly denounced the US seizure of Venezuelan Pres. Nicolás Maduro as “state terrorism” and a breach of internat'l law, framing it as part of a wider US interventionist agenda in the region. US Sec. of State Marco Rubio said on Saturday that...

Do not trust people who ignored child rape trafficking and blackmail until it was politically convenient. The Epstein case was in the public domain if you bothered to look. I wrote a book on it in 2019 asking why the case -- so critical in so many ways -- wasn't covered. How could anyone ignore it?!

Many people -- but most notably, Epstein's victims -- told the truth about Epstein and were smeared and abandoned by both parties. The DOJ protects Epstein. Dem propagandists defended the DOJ under Biden. The GOP buried the case under Trump. Were all these people "distracted"? Or simply evil?

It's bizarre to see Democrats proclaim in unison that Venezuela is "a distraction from Epstein" after they spent the past decade ignoring Epstein and smearing those who looked into Epstein as "QAnon conspiracists" and such. They didn't care about child rape or about exposing Trump and his network.

Regarding using Venezuela as a testing ground for Iran (and Cuba)

Democrats need to grow a f*cking spine. No more strongly worded letters. It’s time to draft articles of impeachment. Impeach. Convict. Remove.

It is an on-demand revenge porn and CSAM bot. How is it still functioning and how are people not in jail.

I have neither thrown nor received a real punch in my life but I kind of think the root sin of the social internet is letting people just say and do things that in the real world would get the shit kicked out of them

A functional country would shut Grok down permanently. Like, immediately. Right now. Last week. Whatever. Just flip the switch. Obviously.

They announced GrokAI's Pentagon contract within days of Musk demonstrating it could be made to spout Nazi propaganda, and then could reverse it with plausible deniability. Musk's businesses are an arm of this fascist mafia govt.

A major use-case for AI is reality destabilization.

Back in 2016 fake news was literally fake articles on sites made up to look like real CNN/ABC/etc article pages. Now they aren't trying to trick you, they're trying to make you not trust anything. It's the gunk in the machine.

Claudia Sheinbaum gave Trump water concessions, drone overflight concessions, control over Mexican immigration policy, control over Mexican tariff policy...where is the principled opposition?

Of course it's also the minerals, metals and energy but that's an old story. 3/3

It's why he is threatening Colombia + Mexico. Why he bought elections in Argentina + Honduras. And interfered in Brazil's courts. Latin America's democratic left bloc is the most principled opposition to Trump in the world, defending international law while richer + more powerful nations cower. 2/3

The weak response from Can, EU and UN to Trump's flagrant crimes in Venezuela is striking. It exposes that much of the world has been cowed. Most notable exception: the Latin American left. That is why the Trump Admin has gone to enormous lengths to defeat the left across the continent. 1/3

further colonization yet you run back to that safety net at the expense of Black and Brown people. Be really honest with yourself about why.

For all those agreeing with outside Nations taking over I want to know why it never occurred to you that the Native Nations of the so called united states could not only govern but restore balance to this land in all ways. The answer to colonization isn't

You couldn't publish this today. You'd have to cloak it under several layers of metaphor.

Among our most-read stories of 2025: Afghan scholar Mohammad Halimi, who fled the Taliban in 2021, had worked to help U.S. diplomats understand his homeland. Then DOGE put his family’s lives at risk by exposing his sensitive work for a U.S.-funded nonprofit. (Published Aug. 2025)

Mega dragonite awakened something within me (the need to draw it as salamander) Inspired in part by the work of RJ Palmer of course! #dragonite #pokemon #realisticpokemon #megadragonite

Every time I see a news article about ChatGPT pushing vulnerable people to harm themselves and others, I want to know how the universities who have eagerly proclaimed their partnerships with this company intend to account for the increasing evidence of the harms of this tech

Imagine being the person brave enough to leak this in the hopes that media attention could stop it and then the media just……buries it.

REAL ID was always a pathway to authorities claiming people's legitimate documents are fake, Birther-style
