Say what you will about Trump, he absolutely nailed it when he said MAGA is whatever he says it is. Absolutely empty-skulled NPCs like this guy go from sounding like Donald Rumsfeld to sounding like Hasan overnight just to keep up.

The US slaughtered 120 schoolchildren on the war's first day. Is he gonna write each of their parents an enthusiastic letter telling them how much safer the world is because their children were blown up by bloodthirsty idiots? This is a genuine question for whoever runs @mark-carney.bsky.social

In regard to the LAPD murdering a homeowner’s dog, white people (including myself) should keep this energy when any black person is killed by the police. The police have killed 553 this year SO FAR. Black people are 2.8x times more likely to be killed by the police than white people.

The Death File By Tony Pentimalli They did not come first with a warrant, a raid, or an ICE van idling outside an apartment complex before sunrise. They came with a database field, because there is a kind of cruelty only a bureaucracy can commit.

Ian Fleming might have made the world’s first trillionaire this evil, but only Philip K. Dick could have made him such a pathetic drug-addled loser, desperate for attention and adulation but incapable of human relationships, and now terrified to go out in public.

This is the World Cup content I'm here for.

Knicks fans REALLY fucking hate the 28-3 comparison. But Anunoby's gorgeous tip-in reminded me of the Edelman catch in its subtle, instantaneous, perfect touch of the hand. You're not getting away from it. 😀

This kind of mixed use project is something that more cities should be looking at! There is a similar redesign happening at Curtis Apartments in Worcester, with an expansion of housing, a new library with an economic development center, and bigger Boys and Girls Club. www.dhkinc.com/project/curt...

Joy is itself tactical & strategic. At base level, why do they want streets clear? BECAUSE they don't want ppl out & about w/ each other, having fun, getting ideas, & working our way up to making real changes. They think this song is a weapon. In 1 sense maybe it is. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Khb...

Me: "We need to be careful we don't succumb to revenge instincts, or think caution is counter-revolutionary..." Paltrow: "...against-ness..." Me: "Fuck everything, Full Tankie is the only answer. Build The Gulags."

Conspiracy theory: Trump and Dolan collaborated to use Dolan's facial recognition system to draw up a database of everyone rich and powerful enough to get into a Finals Game 3, who hates Trump enough to boo during the anthem. These people will be first up against the wall.

New Yorkers have the opportunity to do something even funnier than just booing him tonight

Oh. Shit. "Police in New Orleans forcibly removed five diabetes experts from the American Diabetes Association (ADA) annual conference for distributing an editorial published in the association's journal." www.bmj.com/content/393/...

There are disparate good causes that take work to unite for solidarity. This is THE cause. Against environmental degradation, racism, sexism, anti-queer bigotry, surveillance capitalism, totalitarian data tracking - ALL these things are advanced in the totality of evil that is unrestrained GenAI.

Spencer Pratt, I and seven friends are offering to help you fulfill your promise to leave Los Angeles by helping you move to any red state, completely free of charge. Let us know your schedule and where you’d like to move to, so we can coordinate! I’d suggest Miami (Texas).

The thing about English is that you can almost always read things multiple ways. This might mean "There is a new treatment, which is promising, and which doubles survival rates;" or it could mean "If you promise people a new treatment, their survival rates double."

NEW: In April 2025, a school bus driver dropped off 5-year-old Lens Joseph, then ran over the kindergartner as he crossed in front of the bus. But his death — and dozens of others — are missing from the federal crash record of the bus company. w/ @wbur.org

This is what happens when you get access to the right wing media money faucet in your 20s.

This shit is genuinely the best thing I've heard in years: m.youtube.com/watch?v=69nn...

What you have to know about ICE, they have a huge budget. Trump's administration is committed to funding them more by multiples. New facilities are constantly in the words. This is not about capturing immigrants, they're the canaries in the coal mine. It's about abducting & incarcerating everyone.

Ronald Reagan died 22 years ago. Wishing a happy day to all those who celebrate ❤️

“Oh, they don’t like being beaten by ICE? We’ll send state police to beat them. Now they're mad about the state police? Fine, city cops can beat them. Those protesters are always complaining!” crimethinc.com/DelaneyClashes The centrist project of "maintaining order" only paves the way for fascism.

To our dismay, the artist and author Marjane Satrapi has passed away. As she wrote, ordinary Americans and Iranians have more in common with each other than we do with either of our governments, which have far too much in common with each other. We honor her memory and oppose the war.

Coverage from Delaney Hall in New Jersey

I don't disagree w this, but part of me sees it as a good if we all eat less meat. Beef/pork farming are among worst sources of CO2 and nutrient/waste runoff & part of stabilizing climate must be to get more protein from plants. To do this, we can raise meat prices or we can pass laws / rationing. 🤷

When you keep getting money shoveled at you for panipticons, everything starts to look like an Item Of Interest.

This wasn't what I thought of when I first read the (Luxemburg?) quote about "socialism or barbarism," but I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

SCOOP: An internal Microsoft strategy document says that the plan for its just-announced “Scout” personal assistant AI is to “make people addicted” to the tool before rolling out additional functionality, 404 Media has learned.

Hilarious and deeply insightful writing by @brianphillips.lol.

Without looking it up, I recognize yellow as Io, blue as Neptune, & black as Hubble Deep Field. At a guess, the orange is part of Mars. Possibly the brown is Jupiter?

The NY Times, based on Neutrality Island, uses metaphor to avoid harsh realities that might annoy the people attacking democracy. That’s why, when NYT should write a headline about the wholesale theft of Black political power in the South, it prefers to refer vaguely to “political earthquakes.” 1/4🧵

CBS just dismantled the most important and popular news show in the history of television at the behest of a president who regularly sics the FBI on his critics. Here’s why some NYU kids complaining about Jonathan Haidt represents the greatest threat to free speech that our country faces.

The current vision of “masculinity” coming from the right is “spoiled asshole teenage boy who wants a mom who will fuck him in addition to doing his laundry and also will never tell him to turn off Call of Duty” and I don’t know why more Dems don’t push back on it by merely pointing that out

One way to observe Mikhail Bakunin's birthday today would be to read Richard Warren's comic exposition of Bakunin's Critique of State Socialism. Warren illustrates the historical background of Bakunin's arguments, offering an overview of two centuries of revolution. crimethinc.com/zines/critiq...

Cea Weaver reports that ICE agents have come knocking on the doors of NYC tenants impersonating city workers.

The detainees who are on hunger strike inside the Delaney Hall Detention Center are heroes. They are fighting for everyone's freedom. The same goes for those who are standing up to ICE outside Delaney Hall tonight. Thank you for your courage.🖤 The mercenary scum who serve ICE are beneath contempt.

Seeing a lot of posts to the effect of "Screw you, Texas, you deserve whatever you get!" As though there weren't 30 years of GOP governors warping morale, legislative BS, voter suppression, marginalized people leaving, disinformation, culture of machismo, & reactionary media reinforcing it all.

...same reason in-denial alcoholics get real pissy if you turn it down when they offer you a drink. Or self-described "alpha males" don't like it when women are professionally successful.

My mentions were filled today with annoying people from outside DC who so buy the narrative that all of DC is the government that I had to explain time & again, the occupation is not Trump’s vanity project or him making the city his playground, it’s his direct attack on a population he hates.

Two days ago a sitting US Senator was pepper sprayed for protesting ICE and it didn’t even become national news.

I hadn't heard of Helen Lewis before this Atlantic piece, and I do not care to hear much more of her (www.jezebel.com/the-atlantic...)

"everyone" = men with money

If you use LLMs for thinking, you send up producing “thought” that’s what the government wants you to think! It’s science!

I stumbled on Terry Pratchett as a teenager working in a library - couldn't figure out why I had to shelve those books constantly, read one, figured it out. Decades later and he holds up great. The watch books pulled me in first, nowadays bopping my way around the witches.

"In total, more than 120 health care workers have been killed and over 260 wounded in Israeli airstrikes across Lebanon since March 2. No less than 139 ambulances and 16 hospitals have been damaged, forcing three hospitals to shut down." www.dropsitenews.com/p/israel-leb...
