In 1970 a kid got a lawn dart in the head and they were off the shelves the next day. Today, "AI" software will reliably tell kids how to plan their suicides and school shootings and none of the monsters who built it are held accountable. This is indefensible.

The DOJ violates the Epstein Files Transparency Act on the daily. So I'm suing Todd Blanche. As a journalist, I cannot report accurately on the Epstein Files if I cannot even read them. I am represented by @brendanballou.bsky.social & we seek to hold the DOJ accountable for its noncompliance.

I do think this a genuinely worrying aspect of this incident we know the kind of guy who commits political violence and up until now he has not looked like this, and there are a lot more guys like the latter than the former it’s a very bad sign for a society when someone like this picks up a gun

Any member of Congress that votes for a clean FISA reauthorization is voting to hand Kash Patel, Stephen Miller and Donald Trump the power to spy on Americans without a warrant on a silver platter.

it is important to emphasize that this was *the point*. this was *intentional*. elon musk is a vicious white supremacist who thinks poor african children ought to die, so that the world can be whiter

You’re laughing. Our obese stupid senile pedophile president is trying to barricade himself in his winter palace after sinking the nation into an empire shattering conflict he cannot win and you’re laughing.

whcd shooter had me blocked on here lol

Centrists on here will say, "oh you want to firebomb a Walmart? That pales in comparison to my strategy, voting" and then firebomb a Walmart

this is the same woman who went crying to the police when someone knocked her phone out of her hand because she wouldn’t stop filming the bleeding victims of the charlottesville car attack. on the scene of a mass casualty incident, feet away from a woman’s dead body, it was all about her.

indie game marketing is untenable right now, bro allegedly took a shot at the president and it got him 22 concurrents

this is america. you could find yourself within 100yds of a shooting at any time, in any place. school, the grocery store, a movie theater, a block party, a public park… it happens to regular people every day. but this week we’ll get 50+ weepy op-eds because it happened to the guys who write op-eds

Unfortunately, my answer is start a newsroom that has plenty of lawyers and isn't afraid of billionaires. That is how I have fun.

What the fuck are we doing here

Louisiana GOP oks bill to keep elected Black New Orleanian from taking office www.nola.com/gambit/news/...

People are often like, "Okay, but why do people keep electing these guys if they're not fit for office?" And the reality is that a lot of voters just pick the name they recognize and the party they support when they cast a ballot. I do it, too, sometimes, when it comes to smaller offices.

bah, I missed a screenshot in the first post and posted one twice. here:

Benches are stil easy to find here in Poland (at least here in Wrocław) Here’s one with people playing chess at night:

I've built a socioeconomic system that depends on everyone to do useful work and act ethically except the people at the top, who get unimaginable rewards for being antisocial frauds and criminals. And I think it will stand the test of time

The President calls every black person he doesn’t like “low IQ” and the media believes it absolutely critical we draw no conclusions from that

there is also no drug that's had a 98% price drop, that isn't a thing that has happened either

the way this makes sense for RFK is that "healthy people" and "sick people" are ontological categories.

can we just set an age limit on congress at 70 and legally require retirement

As an activist in TX, I'd like more people talking about that! In addition the fact that Texas doesnt have citizen ballot initiatives or referendums. Due to a 1914 vote that hasn't been brought back up to the people!

People who were openly rooting for a president-for-life a year ago mad about gerrymandering sounds like you’re just losers who don’t like losing

i feel like if ai is going to cause mass unemployment, leading to the introduction of ubi, which will be funded by (??) taxing the few companies that remain (??), we could get a head start on that by taxing those companies and introducing ubi right now

Man, when you compare the bravery of every day Minnesotans to the overpaid cops it’s astounding

A mass shooting that took the lives of eight children should stop this country in its tracks. Instead, the Shreveport tragedy disappeared from the headlines in a day. We cannot allow this level of violence to fade into background noise. Ending America’s gun‑violence epidemic is a moral oblligation.

The CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X. I pointed out that it was fascist—which resulted in a permanent suspension from X (my second time!). So, when you hear the tweeters complaining that BlueSky is intolerant, remember why many of us came here in the first place.

Happy National Library Week! This week you should: 1) Donate $ to your local Friends of the Library 2) Write to your public library director to thank them for standing up for diversity or to condemn them for caving to fascists 3) Plan a similar public comment for the next library board mtg

I hadn't heard about Kash Patel's drinking until I read about his defamation lawsuit against the Atlantic.

i don't think believing this makes someone an evil person BUT all evil people believe this

Palantir is part of the "regressive and harmful" subculture that destroyed USAID, terminated mRNA research, trashed NIH & CDC & FDA & EPA, and brought back measles. Within the next few years, their subculture will be responsible for more preventable deaths than any other in human history. /6

🧵Trump's war against Pope Leo is about something far larger than his foreign wars, it's actually a struggle for control of American Christianity. This thread will summarize the main points of my latest essay about how Trumpism is a replacement Christianity. Continue or click through:

I said it before and I'll say it again: Giving a pack of Epstein associates a comprehensive list of all children in the country with home address and school listed, sortable by various traits that indicate vulnerability to exploitation, is the literal diametric opposite of keeping kids safe.

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

If journalists had any integrity and courage, they would boycott the White House Correspondents Dinner. It should be as empty as a TPUSA event.

Right now where you live healthcare for trans kids is either being made literally illegal by your state or made functionally illegal by the unlawful threats of the federal government and a care infrastructure glad to sacrifice trans kids on the altar of appeasement. www.npr.org/2026/04/17/n...

This was one of the formative incidents in my young life. And I watched almost an entire city of people across racial lines absolutely lose their minds. It was the equivalent of a lynch mob and the NY press was leading the way.

"“They just up and said you have 90 days to move,” Helphinstine, 50, tells PEOPLE. “I have no idea what I'm going to do. I bought the mobile home so I could have somewhere to live. Now, I'm going to be homeless because I'm going to lose my home.”"

If you want to know what Donald Trump’s mass deportation agenda looks like, it’s what we experienced here in Minnesota.

In a major state antitrust investigation, California's Attorney General has unsealed hundreds of records revealing that Amazon illegally pressures its marketplace sellers to engage in price-fixing. While Trump's DOJ lets corporate lawbreakers off the hook, states are still holding them accountable.

i think folks might be unfamiliar with "the pharisees", so let's make it clear: he's saying the jews run the press, and that they are conspiring to undermine the military. it's not just antisemitism, it's indistinguishable from nazism.

it seems like most of them are actively miserable/hate their jobs and are self soothing with vices of choice, but need all of us to look at them too much to just quit
