You cannot trust information coming from Kash Patel's FBI. You cannot trust information coming from ICE. You cannot trust information coming the Trump administration. You cannot trust information coming from Republicans.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Republican Sunday: YOU HAVE AWAKENED A DRAGON OF WHITE RAGE WE WILL SWIM IN THE BLOOD OF OUR TERRORIST ENEMIES AS THEIR CHILDREN WORK OUR SLAVE CANPS Republican Monday: we’re sweet widdle puddy tats what never hurted a fly and the mean man’s post fwightened us so bad we cwosed up our widdle eyes

“When it comes to AI adoption, many companies aren’t guided by strategy but by ‘Fomo’,” said Haritha Khandabattu, senior director analyst at consultancy Gartner. “For some leaders, the question isn’t ‘What problem am I solving?’ but ‘What if my competitor solves it first?’”

Is Elon's Mars talk overblown? Total B.S.? Maybe even a deliberate distraction? That's what one Musk admirer — and well-regarded space analyst — told me for my new feature for @wired.com. Let me explain. (1/x) www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

Star Wars, about fighting imperial fascism and authoritarian control, brought to you by Free Speech Advocates, Disney *checks notes* oh no

Sorry, I'm now told that Baby Yoda is being forced to donate to Turning Point USA and that in the place of this movie they will now air two-hour pyrotechnics-laden memorial for Hero of the Empire, Orson Krennic

It's a basic point, but one that needs to be repeated: If right-wingers and their views were popular, they would not be so desperate to control mass media & social media nor to use government power to silence everyone else, and they wouldn't need oligarchs pumping billions into amplifying them.

“Tell me why can’t we use a Predator drone to obliterate that boat [filled with migrants]?” - Stephen Miller’s alleged question to an Admiral during Trump Term 1

The political scientist Lawrence Britt identified 14 features of historical fascism that remain relevant for identifying modern iterations.

"Suggests," forsooth ...

You guys, so many Romance girlies are reading "On Tyranny" that they've broken the Goodreads recommendations algorithm. 10/10; no notes. #romancelandia

This is why it was completely insane for Dems to laugh off the Twitter purchase. We created a forum with practically every single political and media elite all in the same room together hearing the same things, and then we turned it over to a far-right oligarch

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

Canadians successfully avoid dealing with their racism and overall failings on civil rights by shifting the conversation to the US and how they aren’t the US. That’s true. They have their own novel ways of being racist lol

I'm no lawyer, but I recognize amazing editorial criticism when I see it.

Me yelling into the void: SHE'S JUST SHORT!!

Dildo Opposes Gagging

Just now, 11 state and city lawmakers were arrested by DHS police on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza after a hour of demanding access to the ICE lock up on the same floor. @thecity.nyc

weird that neither of these articles two main stories decrying censorship mention WaPo's firing of @karenattiah.bsky.social I guess democracy really does die in darkness

“The FCC under Brendan Carr uses mergers and business interests of media companies as leverage to extract concessions, extract bribes, and extract censorship.”

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

The address to target is: Disney-ABC Home Entertainment and Television Distribution 500 S. Buena Vista St. Burbank, CA 91521-3515

Shout out to @mcsweeneys.net for letting me treat a certain kind of article with the level of respect it deserves. www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/the...

BREAKING: Disney+ is to replace the two-season run of Andor with a recut version that runs for only five minutes, and is just Mon Mothma apologising profusely to Darth Vader for any inconvenience, and letting him have whatever he wants.

This was one of those kickers where you write it because you're in reporting mode and just explaining what happened and then you read it back and are like "oh wait what."

You’d think someone would say something. @wsj.com @jeffsonnenfeld.bsky.social www.wsj.com/business/ins...

This is so messed up.

Just so I'm clear: TV host says we should kill every homeless person? No big deal TV host says the right must "go to war" with the left? Pfft. TV host says the government is cracking down on critics? Well, the government cracks down on him for the criticism. Free speech, everyone.

When John Yoo, Karl Rove, and Tucker Carlson do a better job calling out the bullshit in one day than Jeffries and Schumer have done in their entire tenure ....

His "meaningful personal donation" should be a heartfelt, handwritten note telling them to gargle his balls and then fuck off into the sun.

in light of the kimmel news, just a reminder that a few days ago a prominent fox news host literally called for killing homeless people. right afterward, someone shot up a couple homeless encampments. that fox news host still has his job.

Yet another reason to miss Norm.

We're 7 months in and Trump and the oligarchs have completely seized control of the media. If you criticize them, your show will be pulled from the air. This is what dictators do. Fascism isn't coming, it's here.

One of our reporters has been having a hell of a time getting expert sources to talk about the reactions to Charlie Kirk’s assassination on the record — out of fear of professional retaliation. It’s like every 30 minutes, a new firing or expulsion or arrest is announced.

People should get to buying Andor on disc because as soon as Trump's people figure out it's a blueprint for resistance, Disney will cave

Trump in July: "I hear Jimmy Kimmel is next.”

The remarks weren’t “about Charlie Kirk,” they were about how this administration is using Kirk’s death as an excuse to shut down critics … and they responded by proving him completely correct.

The Free Speech President has now pulled two of the three major late night hosts off the air through threats and intimidation because of their jokes. Obviously I’m behind Jimmy Kimmel 100% in the face of this fascist garbage. Speech against this admin isn’t just being chilled, they’re freezing it.

I think one of the better, more subtle tributes to Robert Redford's life is the string of utterly iconic female co-stars who've come forward to eulogize him; each of them take-no-shit types like Fonda and Streisand, and every one of them without a single bad thing to say. A model for male behavior

*furrowing my brow* “So *is* the radical left responsible for all the crime in the world?” *collects check*

its kind of insane that we’ve been forced to watch rightwingers openly celebrate and taunt everyone over the death of people like trayvon martin for over a decade now and now they’re trying to grandstand over the one time it’s personally affected them and political project

When you see right-wing figures using the language of demons, Antichrists and apocalypse to attack their opponents, remember what you’re seeing. It's a deliberate effort to remake politics and holy war—a tactic that usually ends in violence. newrepublic.com/article/2004...

This is the content we needed

stop worrying what the most reprehensible scumbags alive think and start flipping them the bird until they learn to get a fucking grip or your chaos sends them screeching into dysfunction because they do not know what to do with people who refuse to comply regardless of what bullshit they try.

kirk was not a “conservative.” he was a christofascist extremist and stochastic terrorist. his colleagues know this. their entire *thing* is built on flooding the zone with so much shit that you can no longer call a duck a duck without the meaning of birds & your sanity being called into question.

coates is genuinely a generational writer

Imagine in 2025, after all the times Black women warned literally everyone about everything that’s happening right now, announcing that Black women commentators are just very paranoid When we have been right???????? This whole time????? About pretty much everything????????????!
