"Sure, ICE is bad, but we need to deport illegal immigrants" No you don't. If immigration enforcement leads to concentration camps and roving death squads, maybe it's time to just get rid of the concept of illegal immigration entirely. You've tried it, it's a bad idea in practice, so bin it.

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA

crazy that basically every person complaining about "woke overreach" over the last 12 years is also in the epstein emails being like "thanks for the pussy, jeff ;)"

we said all along that they wanted Gawker dead not because we embarrassed a pro wrestler but because the Epstein story is one Gawker was covering a decade before most other people caught up & was just one of many stories exposing powerful people and their misdeeds

Still can't believe the latest Epstein Files release just casually confirmed the anti-SJW movement was planned by pedophiles. "The entire reactionary anti-woke backlash was masterminded by child traffickers" is the kinda shit I'd say as hyperbolic agitprop, but it was true the whole time.

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people. But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.

Or how about this headline — “American citizen arrested without cause after exercising his Constitutional rights.” Very important that government propaganda not become the default framing.

'We are shutting it down:' Ubisoft unions call for international strike

I really hate that politics in the US consist of one party trying to do as much harm as possible and the other trying to stop you from being able to do anything about it

All the anti-war and anti-occupation protestors were right. All the far leftists were right. All the “woke scolds” and your friend who’s “too woke” were right. They were somehow even more right than they may have realized at the time. But really, it was always obvious they were right.

Nuremberg trials for ICE is the moderate position

It is astounding to me that a strike can ever be illegal

And I encourage you to participate in a day of solidarity with Minnesota tomorrow. More details here: iceoutforgood.org

the congressional labor caucus has called for the FTC to review the saudi-led $55 billion purchase of EA, saying it stands to harm workers while discouraging competition by putting EA under the same umbrella as major sports leagues. the letter has been signed by 46 members of congress

One of the things I’m really struggling with about what’s going on in Minnesota is that if you describe what’s going on in plain, factual ways to someone who’s not paying close attention you sound completely, bugfuck crazy

So, for the first time in my life I've quit my job without another one lined up. I've been fighting pretty nasty burnout for a while, and the new plan is to see what I can do to rest and recover for a while and try to find my passion in dev again

The animating force at the heart of US conservatism currently is incandescent rage at the mere idea of women's autonomy and independence. An image of a smiling woman who looks insufficiently deferential for their tastes riles them up enough to tear up the social contract.

The past couple days have made it clear that arresting and prosecuting Johnathan Ross isn’t just the right thing to do, it is necessary to prevent future violence by ICE who have interpreted the situation as “we can do that to whoever we want”

This is literally what they do whenever a Black person is killed by police. No matter how solid the evidence is, they will keep pushing that lie, not just to poison the conversation and make sure the killer walks free, but to reassert the political idea that these people deserve to be killed.

losing my mind at the "she should have followed directions" people really? really? you're cool with "if you don't follow directions, they get to kill you"? that seems like a good state of affairs to you? that seems like how law enforcement ought to work: instant obeisance or death?

Hey Canadians! Your taxes subsidize these big game companies and you should be furious about this.

I just want everyone to step back and realize how often it's a trans woman getting bullied off social media.

If you need a reason not to enlist, there's many.

it's gotta be this one. i think about getting a mushroom tattoo that says "you cannot kill me in a way that matters" all the time

from someone who was in school for the beginning of the "war on terror," please. please please please. talk to teenagers in your life about not joining the us military. about not letting themselves be groomed by recruiters in schools. they're going to want soldiers, and they always start young.

Time to dust this one off again

holy fuck

this is, indeed, a crusade by the people directly running the New York Times to destroy the rights and lives of trans people in this country they have blood on their hands and they’re proud of it

2026 needs to be the year of Fuck You, Make Me as a lifestyle and a philosophy.

It's amazing how so fucking many institutions complied with fascism when pretty much every time someone goes "fuck you, make me" the government goes "oh no we made an oopsie, we didn't mean to say that, birthday boy did a lil poopsie oopsie"

any discussion of city transit improvement online ever

In the past week, I've seen stories of AI: - being used by middle schoolers to make porn of other students - calling innocent people sex offenders - shutting down highways with busted-ass self-driving cars - emitting more CO2 than New York City What the fuck are we even doing?

look at how little effort it takes for someone on the conservative grievance circuit to destroy a life millions of college kids have half assed an assignment at the last minute, you eat the F and move on but the effort to push trans people out of public life will use whatever it can get

Worth noting that the student admits that she just threw the thing together in 30 minutes without reading the paper she was supposed to be responding to.

call us old fashioned but, if you've built a machine that makes child porn, we really don't care if can do anything else. unplug the machine.

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality. And trans lives are grounded in reality. We see y'all. No matter what. www.popsci.com/science/tran...

i’m just going to assume the 90% of pages that they blacked out is ONLY donald trump

"we only use AI for coming up with ideas" no you don't. you use AI to come up with the a bland version of other people's ideas. there is currently NOBODY more replaceable than you

I don't know much about War Hammer but I love people telling me about it for me to forget most of it later. Today's lesson was that Age of Sigmar is the Great Horned Rat's self-insert fanfiction

We’re at the point now where people are calling being anti-LLMs as “outrage” as a convenient way to characterise it as unreasonable, and it’s annoying. I’m not outraged, I’m repulsed. I don’t want your stolen shit. It’s gross. You are a fucking loser to me
