Another page out of the Nazi playbook, Trump now wants to weaponize the ability to take away citizenship. Crowded ICE detention centers will only continue to get filled. we know the goal of these camps, letting history repeat itself will only lead to regrets. now is the time to organize. Fuck ICE

When in doubt redact i guess?

(Spoiler alert: they were not fucking kidding. This is real. And it's just as stupid as it sounds). www.blackburn.senate.gov/services/fil...

You have to be fucking kidding me...

We have discovered that almost everyone with wealth or power in this sad shithole is an asssucking coward.

The Epstein Files, everybody!

Freeze the EU money for Hungary till a regime change has happened! Simple!

It appears as though SFWA has had a very quick change of heart and is now back on the right side of this. Shouldn't have happened in the first place. New Nebula Awards eligibility rules for generated text are now:

Very disappointed in the new Nebula Award eligibility information from SFWA that allows partially-generated works to be on the ballot. See 9.11.2. www.sfwa.org/complete-neb... This shouldn't be difficult. #noAI

The only people who want this are shareholders and people who want to be writers as a concept but don't actually want to put effort into writing, and I don't think they should be considered at all in this scenario

Christ this is dark an organization which exists to support writers is like “we don’t want to take a side and make anyone mad, so if the plagiarism machine helped write your book it’s up to OTHER PEOPLE, NOT US, OUR HANDS ARE CLEAN, to decide if that should disqualify you from winning an award”

It's not about saving money for these people. The gratification they derive from eliminating jobs is the reward.

Literally, yes. I've been a union organizer and negotiator. Employers will agree to make less money if it means negating worker power. They *hate* workers. In their guts. It's not rational. It's a prejudice.

These are the people the mainstream media is constantly telling us to understand and sympathize with.

"The pattern is also a lesson. News organizations that have stood up for themselves and pushed back against the attempts at intimidation prevailed. "The only way to lose a fight against Trump is to pursue appeasement. "It’s true for law firms, higher ed, news orgs..." www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

Democrats really scored an own goal with the TikTok ban. The company has gone from being owned by China to being owned by China and Trump allies. If the concern was TikTok pushing problematic politics, Dems are actually worse off.

“Students’ handmade signs spoke to how many have been personally affected by immig. arrests: 'My parents fought for my future, now I will fight for theirs.’ Another read, in Spanish, ‘My parents work harder than your president.’ One sign, w/a photo attached, read simply, ‘Bring my dad back.’”

My debut won't be out till next summer, but if dark fantasy with a "The Dark Crystal" meets "World War Z" vibe sounds like your thing, pre-orders are available now from @badhandbooks.bsky.social. badhandbooks.com/preorders/6y...

So sad to hear about @innerworlds.bsky.social closing. It's a beautiful zine that's showcased all aspects of mental health in its stories. They published my OCD story, "Flash/Flash/Flash". inner-worlds.ghost.io/flash-flash-... I'll forever be grateful. Check it out. 💙📚

My kids have measles, I can't afford toys, and the Justice Department is illegally refusing to release all the pictures of the president hanging out with a notorious sex trafficker. But at least now the kids at Oberlin aren't getting trigger warnings.

Zohran Mamdani scares the ADL more than these guys and I think it's fair to ask why

loser

Russland will mit seiner Sabotagekampagne die Ermittlungsressourcen Europas erschöpfen Im Laufe des Jahres sprach AP mit mehr als 40 europäischen und NATO-Vertretern aus 13 Ländern, um das Ausmaß dieses hybriden Krieges zu dokumentieren,

this is the future (and, in many cases, the present) of the Republican Party the younger generations may not have quite as many Republicans but the ones they do have are the worst people you have ever met

Vielleicht würde "No pasaran" funktionieren, wenn Konservative es damit mal versuchen würden. Seit zehn Jahren erleben ein ständiges Zugehen auf die faschistische Rechte. Und am Ende sind dieje igdn schuld, die nicht mitmachen wollen...

Völlig durchgedreht und unverschämt! „Washington. Donald Trump hat in der Galerie der Ex-US-Präsidenten neue Infotafeln anbringen lassen. Was darauf zu lesen ist, empört.“ (Inschriften im Wortlaut) @docgaby.bsky.social #usa #trump

In celebration of David Walliams being exposed for the dose that he is, please share some books for younger readers which are deserving of more attention.

Menners:"Hä warum brauchen Frauen immer noch Schutzräume, wozu brauchen die eigene Parkplätze, Fitness Studios und Saunas?" Auch Menners:

Very cool!

So like... they're going to remove people doing something they love, and replace them with people doing something boring for no reason, and they think they're gonna pay LESS? sure jan.

They are paid almost nothing because it's assumed that they're doing what they do out of love. It *costs* some people more to do their job than they get out of it.

One of the things that gets me about this whole "replace people in publishing with AI" thing is that people in publishing (translators / editors / copy editors / authors / etc) are among the worst fucking paid people out there.

I am SO FUCKING TIRED.

Dass das Verbot keinen Bestand hat, liegt daran, dass das Ministerium nicht genug Beweise vorlegen konnte, dass tatsächlich eine bundesweite, tonangebende Ebene bei der Neonazi-Gruppierung bestanden hat. Es wurde nicht geprüft, ob die "Hammerskins" verfassungsfeindlich sind.

Unfassbar

Terrifying headline if you don’t realize they are sports teams.

Auch die Privatsphäre wird nicht mehr gewahrt. Nicht ansatzweise. "Mit dem Formular können Menschen, die trans Personen auf der Toilette melden, bis zu 5 Fotos einreichen, obwohl das Fotografieren in Toiletten illegal ist."

NEW: The DOJ appears poised to miss a deadline to publicly release all of its files on convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, violating a new federal law explicitly requiring the documents to be turned over for the public.

From a focus group of Gen Z Republicans. (www.city-journal.org/article/manh...) Tell me again about how Zohran Mamdani is the big threat to Jewish thriving in the US today.

"The garage? Hey, fellas, the garage. Ooh, la-di-da, Mr. French man." "What do you call it?" "A car hole."

It's 2000 and George W. Bush concedes to Al Gore....... sigh

@usatoday.com wrote about Hegseth's monthly Pentagon prayer services but only mentioned May & December services (the ones publicly available). But if you want to report on pattern of services, you should look at more than 2. I reported on all of them: publicwitness.wordandway.org/p/pentagon-p...

In kleiner Runde prahlt ein pro-russischer AfD-Abgeordneter mit angeblichen Geheimdienstinformationen. Er arbeitet eng mit einem Mann, der schon in der Ukraine und Georgien in den Ruf eines Sicherheitsrisikos geriet. Gemeinsam arbeiten sie am Programm der AfD – und richten sie nach Moskau aus.

Ellison family members now own Skydance Media, Paramount/CBS, Oracle, 98% of the Hawaiian island of Lāna'i, and now TikTok. AND they're also launching a hostile bid for Warner Brothers to try and thwart Netflix's bid. This family needs to be taxed into oblivion and meet an antitrust beat stick.
