This video of reporters flooding out of the Pentagon after refusing to sign Hegseth’s authoritarian pledge that would force them to have the DOD review all their articles before publication is one of the most satisfying things I’ve seen in a while

You know how grown-ass white men are just BOYS, and 10 year old black children are tried as adults?

Hubs: I'll order food so you don't have to mess with it. Hubs: *Proceeds to ask me every single detail instead of just looking, asks me to recite my card information instead of getting my wallet* Bro, why didn't you just have me place the damn order? Heart's in the right place, but c'mon dude.

One of the things that absurdist protest accomplishes is making the people cracking down on it look absolutely ridiculous.

It's Indigenous People's Day! Here's some places to donate 🧵 Partnerships with Native Americans provides aid intra-tribally, they cover a lot of groups and a lot of needs- secure.nativepartnership.org/site/Donatio...

Screencaps I can hear

“No Kings” is great , but we really don't get a functioning democracy back until we internalize, bone deep, the instinctive response to this and every other statement like it: “I don’t care what that rich guy thinks.” Make it your morning affirmation. Say it ten times at the top of every hour.

Very serious person Andy Ngo has now been reduced to pleading with his audience to please please PLEASE take the dancing antifa muppets seriously

In the 2010s, this country's elites were thrown onto social platforms with everyone else and could finally read what we all think about them and it caused them so much psychic damage that they decided to destroy both the internet and democracy to make sure nothing like it ever happened again.

Hey, what was happening in Germany in the 1930s? I forget.

Salvation Army seen feeding ICE today. For anyone who doesn't already know about their bigotry, here is more, No need to give them your money this Christmas, or ever.

getting reticulated must feel so good if you're a spline

I really, really need you to go back to reliably masking. It’s life and death. Maybe not for you and your family (although it’s very possible!), but for vulnerable people in your communities. Elders, kids, and immunocompromised folks, of which there are untold hundreds of thousands more now.

it’s said all the time but I think we should continue to hammer home how insane it is that we got dead-eyed bros trying to sell us robots that will free us from the supposedly cruel burden of “creative careers” instead of the actual cruel burden of “doing menial household chores”

Fuck TERFs

Still amazed that the Vatican has been more responsive to the threat Trump represents than the vast majority of American institutions.

Corporations are increasingly adopting new forms of tech and AI that they claim are “privacy-preserving.” But the truth is that this tech can allow them to collect worker data without meaningful consent, and then use it to surveil, discipline, and exploit workers.

Just in case someone missed this detail: Wells Fargo used the ICE orks to clear out a building of lawful residents to make a buck Again, a military terror purge was carried out with naked children in handcuffs for the benefit of Wells Fargo execs A corrupt corp that will bleat at any reciprocity

Yeah I basically think Sora is poison and the people who made it are evil people.

Velveeta. Yes, I adore real cheese as well, but that shit is my go-to for mac and cheese, and bean dip.

They do not intend to give up power.

Is the correctly done digital ID in the room with us now?

Flying cars are the perfect example of a point solution: trying to solve a systemic problem (traffic) with an individual product (fly over the traffic). But traffic is not a technology problem; it's a social problem. Remote work, congestion fees, and dense transit-connected housing solve it better.

A lot of the apps on your phone are tracking your physical location and selling that information to other companies. Here's a fantastic explainer from @pcmag.com about 20 of the most common apps that spy on you. Service journalism at its finest. www.pcmag.com/explainers/t...

Y'all who keep lecturing protesters to "not give them an excuse" need to pause for a minute. Imagine yourself telling a DV victim, "Be sure not to mouth off or make any mistakes so he won't hit you. Don't give him an excuse! It's what he wants!" That's what you fools sound like.

kinda crazy how every single “just give people enough money to afford some basic stuff” experiments yield the exact same positive results that everyone benefits from every time, huh Anyway, back to toiling

The Supreme Court wants to allow conversion therapy so that's why we have oral arguments in Chiles v. Salazar this morning. The Supreme Court wanted to allow Christian people to refuse to serve queers, so that's why they issued an advisory opinion in 303 Creative v. Elenis. Everything is rigged.

jkr openly condemning palestine so once again if it isnt clear all transmisogynistic politics claiming to "defend real females" is ideologically the same kind of reactionary nationalism, heterosexualism, and turning "weaklings into soldiers" that zionism, hindutva, etc are

WHICH! WE! KNEW!!!!!!!

Assuming there aren't other fees or splits I'm not aware of, I will be paid $7500 for my life's work being fed into The Machine, and also they won't be removing my work from The Machine

She voted that way because she was running for governor. Only other Democratic member of congress from NJ to vote that way? Gottheimer, who was also plotting for the governorship. You will never be anti-trans enough to appeal to fascists.

Holocaust was legal, hiding Jews was not. Slavery was legal; freeing slaves was not. Segregation was legal; fighting for equality got you killed. Being a wealthy child molester is legal; abortions is not. Laws are not a guide for human decency and morality.

The Outer Haven

oh its the thing everyone said was going to happen when this got brought in and it immediately happened

The “fuck the law we’re putting Trump on a coin” thing is once again making me marvel at how many people apparently grew up without learning how to be grotesquely embarrassed

Republicans hate children and want them to die

Look here if you can't find your reps! Call them, *especially* your red ones, and tell them trans healthcare will NOT be used as a bargaining chip to end the shutdown. Intimidation with numbers guys

If the President can raise his own revenues and direct his own spending without congressional approval we are squarely in the only situation the Constitution was actually drafted to avoid: English civil war territory

Here's the thing—it's important that KOSA never get passed but also KOSA is so self-evidently a law that only the most depraved people would think was reasonable at even a cursory glance that it is extremely extremely dire that Democrats would need to be convinced it's unpopular to vote against it

Doug Ford gets huffy-puffy indignant like this too and *everyone* lets them get away with it. Enough.

Hegseth said yesterday he wants to ban any symbols of “superficial individual expression” by people serving in the military. Of course, he was probably talking about dangerous things like rainbows.

CLEO!

"I am become rape culture, the destroyer of truths." This needs to be framed as "Congress under Speaker Johnson's leadership organized itself to protect Donald Trump from whatever he's terrified we find in the Epstein files." Not just this but the summer shutdown was to protect Trump from them.

Miss Major, one of the mothers of the trans liberation movement, has been in the hospital for 10 days with sepsis and a blood clot. She has looked out for us for generations, now it’s time to look out for her. Donate if you can: fundly.com/missmajor

Absolute all-timer sentence in today's @nytimes.com

this is, no exaggeration, some of the most loser shit i have ever seen in my life

Is this not illegal? This lawless land continues to upset me every day I open my eyes and breathe. People just gonna be homeless now. Which funnily enough is the argument most of us have been giving about homeless people. A lot of em have jobs! The housing crisis isn't about money.
