Remember during the 2019 gov't shutdown, the Association of Flight Attendants threatened to strike, Tr*mp backed down on his & the government reopened? That was fun. Anyway, if the government shuts down on Sept 30, we should do a big strike. A large one. A general strike, if you will

Given the keys to the whole government, this—this—was the number one priority of the richest man alive.

"In a landmark study, OpenAI researchers reveal that large language models will always produce plausible but false outputs, even with perfect data, due to fundamental statistical and computational limits." www.computerworld.com/article/4059...

People should look up Horst Wessel and how the Nazis used his murder to create a martyr and accelerate their movement and march towards fascism.

Only 1 person in the whole study went from identifying as trans to not identifying as trans. The 1/5 number came from youth going between the binary and non-binary spectrum. This headline and post are misleading on purpose to fit the economist's editorial bent on the political issue.

As I keep saying, it would be real nice if everyone could just acknowledge him as the leader of the party sooner rather than later

please Senator Chuck, I swear this is a Kitchen Table Issue… my wife and children are being dragged away from our kitchen table by hooded MAGA agents. tomato prices aren’t great either but OOPS they shot me sorry

Do not assume that everything they set out to do is inevitable. They have been successfully fought on multiple fronts, from courtroom wins that have actually stuck to city and state governments that haven't backed down, to activists in the streets organizing against their violence.

conservatives are like "the clip is taken out of context what's the rest" ok here's the longer video around that where he's contemplating if Kamala Harris ("Kammy"), then VP who he refers to as a crazy person, counts as a black woman, says she's a totalitarian and like a "black Hillary on steroids"

These are right-wing terror events I covered just from 2017 to 2023. It's not even close to comprehensive. The government's trying to erase this history.

Q: Do you think it would've been fitting to lower the flags to half staff when Melissa Hortman, the Minnesota House Speaker, was gunned down by an assassin? TRUMP: I'm not familiar. The who?

The case for letting people set their accounts to private on bsky has always been a big one, but especially lately with the witchhunts going on. We need to be able to lock down and moderate who is following us. We need to be able to stop people from following us and soft block or remove followers.

With these now explicit threats to use the Kirk killing as the pretext to attack liberal political groups, and given the Ds hold the cards at the end of the month, what are @chuckschumer.com and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social going to do about this? www.nytimes.com/2025/09/15/u...

The goal wasn't to make AI profitable. It was to create ineluctable data overlords who are weaponizing your personal information to consolidate their power, against the interests of humanity

This is a paragraph Brett Kavanaugh wrote on his little computer and then sent out into the world:

Pritzker: "No one in the administration -- the president or anybody under him -- has called anyone in my administration or me. It's clear that in secret they're are planning this invasion with US troops."

One thing that's particularly maddening about what's happening today—beyond that it's happening—is that when people talk about how we are moving toward authoritarianism, toward fascism, by a collection of narcissistic sociopaths, many Americans' eyes glaze over.

Surveillance tech is not making us safer – it’s putting innocent people at risk. This isn’t public safety. It’s automated injustice. Read more: www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Have to keep pointing this out, but the unifying throughline in both stances is the idea that the danger to be guarded against is Black people, either in the person of the state looking to promote their wellbeing or as a response to “crime” and disorder in which we’re imagined as marauders.

BREAKING: Judge Xinis issues order barring Trump administration from deporting Kilmar Abrego Garcia “until further order of the Court.” The admin stated earlier that it would not deport him during this habeas consideration. Also per today’s order, the habeas hearing is set for Oct. 6.

Lisa Cook, Federal Reserve Governor, is a Black woman with exemplary credentials, education and history of accomplishments. Trump has baselessly accused her of mortgage fraud.

Wanted to share a critical AI spreadsheet I've been working on for a little bit now. It has a list of resources and links to materials I thought were interesting or that I used in my schools Critical AI LibGuide. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

While Trump makes broad claims to try to curtail voting, in fact voter fraud in the US is extremely rare. In six swing states in 2020, there were about 475 potential cases of fraud out of 25.5 million votes cast, according to an @apnews.com study @nytnickc.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/08/20/b...

Over 750 HHS current and former employees are *on the record* criticizing RFK Jr in the aftermath of the CDC shooting. They call him “complicit in dismantling America’s public health infrastructure ... by repeatedly spreading inaccurate health information." www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

This is absolutely lawless. It’s why I’m authoring legislation to ban them from masking. We have no idea whether they’re even law enforcement. They could be bounty hunters engaged in kidnapping & human trafficking. NO ICE POLICE STATE IN CALIFORNIA

My contention about a hot civil war is that we have been living in one for decades at this point, I would say since 1982, but very slow moving. What do you think all those mass shootings are actually about? Look who is mostly perpetuating them (white males) and what they target (public institutions)

If you ever have trouble believing Pedocon theory -- that an entire national political party could be populated entirely by perverts in open pursuit of their perversions, recall that the entire country once split and fought a war over it.

Republicans used to say that terrorists hate us for our freedom, but the reality is that republicans hate their own country because of our freedom.

"I think on some level, conservatives know perfectly well that liberal American cities are quite safe. That’s why they have to work themselves into such paroxysms of hysterical cowardice—to give themselves permission to inflict violence on the Americans they hate." prospect.org/justice/2025...

Just watched 15 federal agents call an ambulance for a very, very drunk and sick girl in Dupont.

The anti vax movement is not just a radicalization funnel for the broader fascist movement it is also a networked stochastic violence vector that appears to be causing more and more open violence against governmental officials and those seen as a threat.

A prescient warning from retired military officials as SCOTUS weighed presidential immunity in Trump v. United States: “Absent the availability of criminal prosecution for a President's violation of the PCA, this important check on military power would be weakened if not eliminated.”

Baltimore Mayor Scott response on Trump: I think it's very notable that each and every one of the cities called out by the President has a black mayor, and most of those cities are seeing historic lows in violent crime…

i will never not be amused by how the conservative world is governed by the kind of “affirmative action” they say happens in mainstream institutions. totally unqualified dipshits are handed the keys to institutions because they say the right thing and have the right look.

More of this. I hope their efforts involve pointing and laughing at the gooned-up losers, and yelling at them to quit their jobs and explaining to them why they can't get dates.

Not having a home is not a crime. If it's a crime, it should a crime to unhouse anyone. Being a pedophile & having an insurrection are crimes.

BREAKING President Trump announces that he is invoking section 740 of the Home Rule Act. Section 740 gives the President of the United States the authority to commandeer the DC Police Department in “conditions of an emergency nature” Trump also confirms he is deploying the National Guard to DC.

So now FBI agents are not only being reassigned to immigration enforcement, they’re also being reassigned to do the job of beat cops? Not only does this mean it’s an increasingly good time to get away with federal crimes, but attrition at the FBI is going to go up again. Lot of early retirements.

“In last week’s little-noticed note, which was buried 150 pages into a document … Senate Appropriations Committee staffers expressed a fresh concern: NIH is reviving the same program under a different name, despite Congress’ earlier objections. This time, it’s to study autism, the report said.”

If you're National Guard or any other service member being deployed against people in the US and you'd like to apply for conscientious objector status or have any other concerns whatsoever, call the GI Rights Hotline to get some guidance on your options: 1-877-447-4487 girightshotline.org

"So we're getting this information from multiple sources [...] within the mayor's office and within Metro Police Department, that President Trump, come tomorrow, will deploy the National Guard along the streets of DC." www.wusa9.com/video/news/n...

FBI agents are not trained to patrol streets. And every agent that is assigned to do that is NOT investigating: *foreign spies stealing gov’t and trade secrets *foreign and domestic terrorist threats *crimes like fraud, corruption, trafficking, and violent crimes (among others) Do you feel safer?

Every single person pushing this should have every hard drive they have checked. If there is literally ANY porn on ANY of it then the bill should instantly be burned and never brought up again

BREAKING via AP Australia will recognize a Palestinian state, the Prime Minister says. Australia's decision to recognize a Palestinian state will be formalized at the United Nations in September. Australia joins France, Britain, and Canada in announcing plans to recognize a Palestinian state.

Apropos of nothing,… ”That’s made street-level journalists…more important than ever. They are arguably the truth’s last line of defense, keeping tabs on community activism right at the moment when legacy newsrooms are increasingly walking away…They can’t be bought, so they are bloodied.”
