On one hand the wiretapping language is probably ass covering but on the other hand TVs are fucking evil and full of spyware that monitor your viewing habits and they’ll continue to do so until a state like NY or California legally forces an opt out mode on every TV sold. Easy legislative layup.

Dozens of immigrants at Miami’s Federal Detention Facility are trapped in brutal heat with no AC, sleeping in underwear, and finding roaches in their food. When one spoke out, he was thrown into solitary. Total abuse. We demand an immediate investigation and human rights NOW! 🎥 tomaskenn

Wow. The ICE shooter in Maine asked his ex-wife to "to lie for him and to cover for his character." She said he was abusive and had previously reported concerns about him to his military superiors. He was also a volunteer firefighter, but was removed after several spats with department leadership.

It’s not about the burritos. This year’s spread of Cyclospora – better known as the ‘explosive diarrhea parasite’ – is a symptom of federal budget cuts and a scary vision of how America deals with a health crisis in the future. Read more from

JK Rowling through her TERF organization, Beira's Place have sent Amnesty International a demand letter seeking a full retraction of their report, a public apology, and a bar to future criticism of gender critical groups as anti rights orgs. If they don't comply, they'll commence legal action.

It's incredibly clear that Rowling is going to lead with this org because it's a rape shelter. It'll be a media circus. The UK press will attack Amnesty as defaming a rape crisis center. Nevermind that Rowling and her ilk incited threats to Edinburgh Rape Crisis center b/c a trans woman worked there

A devastating example of the fallacy in the quest for neoliberal solutions that promise ethical consumption under capitalism is that the most avoidable manmade environmental disaster of our time that kills the vulnerable was made possible by the subsidizing of a mass produced zero emission vehicle.

ICE isn’t a rogue agency doing A Job it’s literally just a state sponsored domestic terror group. There is nobody working anywhere in ICE that should be allowed around the rest of us. If you know someone who is ICE & you haven’t cut them off, you’re ICE too.

While I think the sentiment is good, it's also weirdly out of touch with the issue; companies should ask themselves that? Companies don't make those decisions, and if they did the answer would be an unequivocable "yes" because it helps their bottom line at no cost to the company.

Sorry but this is absolute bullshit, unless you consider the Pod Save guys leftist. Carville also liked him. One of the most distinct thing about the Platner campaign was that it had this weird, cross-ideological support AND opposition.

Again, the field of extremism studies will never advance unless we start openly talking and writing about violence inflicted by the state. Specifically how state violence is the direct result of the government’s official foreign and domestic policy being based on a racist conspiracy theory.

I strongly encourage people to try LaTeX! It has a learning curve, but there are tools and templates that make it a lot easier to manage. If you've ever wanted to make a document that looks like one of those old Sega Genesis instruction manuals, I even dare say you owe it to yourself to try!

I'm just going to say the unpopular thing: Cheering for somebody to get fired because a mistake was made (and summarily corrected) is ghoulish. Clearly there was an oversight and people don't have to demand blood for every error. Some of you should reevaluate your morals.

This is also a thing many people try to willfully misunderstand. The problem is not that SNK is owned by a company in Saudi Arabia, it's that they are owned by and operate as a propaganda tool for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's royal family. This should be very easy to conceptualize.

(And I am doubly frustrated by the number of mental health professionals who lack a holistic framework to address this, and end up teaching their clients to take on the burden of believing that their inability to improve is a personal failing rather than a predictable outcome of their environment.)
