Fuck this entirely. This is fascism. This is testing the waters for mass murder.

instead of reposting that horrible screenshot of that horrible man's post, consider sharing the incredible stories about what sweet, thoughtful man Rob Reiner was and flooding the feed with them

She was not fired because of her views! She was fired because she called a customer the N-word! That is a thing she did! At their location! On the job!

These stories are less than 6 weeks apart. Billionaires don’t care about working people. They care about power. Stop defending billionaires. Start taxing them out of existence.

Read this as an American woman and then go break something.

Even if you think, incorrectly, that this repulsive technology has any place in mainstream culture, maybe it gives you pause that the worst people in the world are hell bent on making you use it.

Bringing Native dances to the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Native Pride Productions will take the stage at one of the largest parades in America on Thanksgiving morning featuring nine dancers from different tribes from the U.S. and Canada ictnews.org/news/bringin...

To be clear (since NPR isn't), the "joke" is premised on the fact that Trump is kidnapping people w/o due process and shipping them to offshore concentration slave camps in defiance of court orders, human rights accordances, the U.S. constitution, all tenets of common decency, and international law.

97% of ICE arrests are law abiding workers, people who contribute to the economy in so many ways.

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

if you genuinely think Schumer and Democratic leadership opposed this & Republicans coincidentally got exactly the number of votes they needed to avoid a filibuster and none of those votes are from Democratic Senators who are up for reelection in the midterms next year, I have a bridge to sell you.

I feel more like this with every passing year. We need a party that is committed to preserving, protecting & improving life. We don’t need people intent on endlessly negotiating how much humanity we deserve or if we deserve any at all. We don’t need a society built around manufactured scarcity.

man I'm so excited to be on the internet with 100k-500k of my favorite emotionally dysregulated neurodivergents as we wait for election results in places we have never visited and freak the fuck out!!!!!!!

This! My kids, new voters, have been taught to do this in any race where a candidate is in both rows.

Mamdani shows how hungry voters are for candidates who act like they actually care for the places they'd represent. Will he deliver? Not on everything. But he has an exuberance for the city that you wish Congress had for the country.

This right here, this exact sentence, is THE problem in American political journalism. The IRA *was* cheap energy and good jobs! That was the whole bill! Democrats did precisely what political pundits are telling them to do and the pundits just ignore it.

"People are getting free food and they might not deserve it!" who gives a shit man literally one of the unambiguously good things about the 21st century is we have lots of excess food production and we have the capacity to have hunger be significantly less important in decision making.

once again posting The Chart

A common concern about universal basic income is that people will end up buying drugs with it but in study after study, abuse of drugs tends to go down when people are provided cash. Why? Because a big reason people abuse drugs is self-medication of life stressors. davidevans.blog/2016/11/29/t...

This speech made me realize just how undignified the whole thing has gotten. This is going to be a historic speech, the kind of speech that doesn’t happen anymore because everyone is crude and cynical, and sank to Trump’s level. We don’t need trolls, we deserve leadership. It looks like this.

Reminder: The United States cannot afford universal healthcare

In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.

Also, they want to make content. And that means they are going to take the worst stuff people say in response to them (this being the internet, some of which might be quite bad) and splash it across the official comms organs of every major federal law enforcement agency. So take that into mind.

This, exactly.

Seeing a lot of "No Kings" protests groups using AI images lately You aren't resisting fascism by using their tools Be better than that

On Indigenous Peoples' Day of ALL Days, folks should be super mindful and take time to learn and listen to Native People. We are NOT YOURS, NOT YOUR MASCOTS AND NOT THESE STEREOTYPES. WE ARE HUMAN BEINGS!

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

I actually don't really care if AI is useful/interesting/good for some things in education actually - it is besides these things clearly a big problem already that maybe need listing yet again:

hi, cis folks in california! this headline leaves out that newsom has another 5 days to sign these bills into law. if you’d like to tell him he should do that to protect trans californians, you should to reach out. he also has a phone: (916) 445-2841 want to know what to say? next post! 🧵

The reason why AI loves emdashes is that they stole from every writer ever to create its database. And we love us some gotdamn emdashes. It's also why it doesn't know where to actually put a comma.

It is the job of the Democratic party to sell and defend the policies that most Democratic voters want, not to present a candidate slate that is palatable to moderate Republicans who might switch if they hate their own candidate enough.

Hey, turns out we recommend the Hep B birth dose for a reason. www.statnews.com/2025/09/11/n...

pretty wild that it so quickly became normalized that immigrants don’t have even basic free speech rights www.axios.com/2025/09/11/c...

They have not incentivized these young people to have kids and they know it. They neglected us Xers, snatched the rug out from under the Millennials’ finances, traumatized Gen Z… now they want the birth rate to go up?! Give folks single payer healthcare, UBI, housing & a year or two off. Or STFU!

Anyway...Dems need to break out of the impulse to see 200 white people protesting against Covid restrictions as "the voice of the people which we must heed" while seeing 10X as many people protesting racist police violence as "a niche special interest group that's out of step with real Americans."

The extent to which ICE is ignoring all civil rights and due process is astounding — and indicative of a culture where they’ve been told they can do literally no wrong. Agency and admin leaders must face sanctions and legal consequences.

id be slightly less angry at dem leadership saying theyre only interested in throwing political punches on “kitchen table issues” if they were currently out there landing punches on “kitchen table issues”

Y’all won’t shut the fuck up about forcing us to vote for Newsom when instead you could put all that wasted energy towards boosting actually useful Dem politicians like this guy who aren’t trash bags.

This book is great and ALSO quite literally is the thing that made me realize I have ADHD and get officially diagnosed, so… it’s basically like going to a sexy psychiatrist for only two bucks. You can’t afford NOT to buy it!

i'll say it again, my loud and vigorous support for any democrat who calls for televised hearings and criminal charges for everyone involved in DOGE. this guy should never be able to live in peace again.

Democratic Party insiders keep crapping on its new & young leaders, yet wonders why young people are upset with the party & it has 26% approval. This is not how you fight fascism, this is how you enable apathy and stagnation, and shrink your coalition. That strengthens fascism. Just reckless. 2/2

The fact that the thing we're calling artificial intelligence *can't do math* and yet we're jamming it into programs that successfully *have done math* for decades, then warning people against using the AI to do math, seems like an excellent summary of where we are.

Complicated. Noble sacrifice and all should not be a baseline expectation. So your options are move Gavin's stance on trans rights or uhhh. Get a better candidate. We've got three years.

I want everyone who reads this to drop what they’re doing and go check if you’re still registered to vote. I also want you to put a weekly reminder to go check if you’re registered. Republicans are trying to remove Dems from the voter rolls across the country, 1/

Fascism encourages you to think it’s a spectator sport and when it’s too late you realize you’re also on the playing field and always have been.

The national guard in a Black neighborhood is not a distraction, okay? That’s fascism. Yall are waiting for the “big thing” and he’s building it in your face.

Do we see how calling Trump deploying the national guard to forcibly displace homeless people a "distraction"... Is a way to absolve people of having to think about how to protect, defend and shelter the targets of his cruelty?

Let's talk Andrew Wakefield. In 1998, British (former doctor) Wakefield published an absolutely bonkers study linking the Measles, Mumps, Rubella vaccine to autism and gastrointestinal issues in kids. 1/?

The Trump administration effectively created a de facto bathroom ban at Brown University and none of the major media is covering it, and if they do, they character it as about sports. This is how the trans visa ban was enacted and characterized. www.advocate.com/news/transge...
