GREAT NEWS!!! Federal District Court Judge Cathy Seibel ordered that Joel must be released from custody!!! The judge blasted the Trump Administration as "either Orwellian or Kafkaesque." Thank you @nyclu.org and The Door for fighting so hard for Joel & so many others.

Personally, I don't see fascist infighting as an opportunity to align with and elevate whoever appears to be the slightly less objectionable fascist.

Occurs to me that whether you think Marjorie Taylor Greene should be welcomed into The Tent or not depends on whether you think the fight is against a fascist movement or against one particular very bad man.

Troubling to say the least. Pretty gross how Apple and Google are facilitating this while blocking the tools to help people stand up to authoritarianism and fascism.

lord knows i try not to be a bitter person, but after spending my career writing about surveillance i truly can’t help feeling contempt for everyone gaslighting me saying stuff like this would never happen

The AI bubble may be about to bust. Peter Thiel has sold all of his Nvidia stock. We all need to say this very clearly: NO BAILOUTS FOR THEFT-TECH! Expropriate their asses instead. They stole from all of us and fully plan to burn the planet. They owe us - not the other way around. 1/3

Notice how there was no protests during the shutdown and food stamp issues? Nothing about healthcare? People aren’t serious. They don’t even get how this will all impact them. Failure of a press at all levels to explain impact on polices on lives and Dems to do any fucking thing.

The only way to fight authoritarianism is to organize the people impacted by bad policy. If you don’t have the people on your side, you have nothing.

In an apparent policy shift, US president Donald Trump has called on House Republicans to vote for a bill that would force the Department of Justice to release the Epstein files. As president, Trump could just order the Department of Justice to release the files, without needing a vote.

Countering the trend towards fascism can take many shapes and forms but it cannot take the form of a blind faith support in the status quo and mainstream elite as has been argued for too long Some thoughts @reacpolrn.bsky.social on the latest developments in the UK reacpol.net/fascism-no-o...

it didn't even really provide me with any new information but that one email between epstein and some other random rich elite saying "when will the madness end" about the metoo movement felt like a key unlocking my brain that will explain every unforced institutional capitulation we've seen

We gave the government over to a bunch of trolls, 4chan shitlords, and out and out blood and soil racists. What do you mean we have no ability to talk about people's groceries going up??

Feels like it should be bigger news that a journalist known for being loud about her investigations into banks/payment processors appears to be getting financially stonewalled by the entire industry unaminously right now.

I know that "man the future sucks I was promised rocket cars" is old hat but fuck me, "the AI that runs the bank's fraud department denied my transaction because it believed my tastes in porn were wrong" is some esoteric dystopian bullshit

The doctor shortage isn’t an accident. It was policy. canadahealthwatch.ca/2025/11/10/c... @codeblackamerica.bsky.social

"The fact that TB continues to claim over a million lives each year, despite being preventable and curable, is simply unconscionable. WHO is working with countries to build on the progress they have made and accelerate the path to ending TB by 2030.”

Children turn war-shattered ruins into makeshift skateparks as mental health crisis deepens.

Heavy winter storms flooded Gaza’s tent camps on Friday, collapsing shelters and soaking families already displaced by Israel’s war. Streets in Gaza City turned into rivers of mud and rubble as rain poured into... The full report by @AbdSabbah91 (X) in Gaza and @sharifkouddous (X) is linked below.

I don't know why we decided to not treat police as armed forces with at least nominal civilian leadership, professional officer corps, etc.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrolm... The end result of that, is the person behind the riot, was voted in for the next mayor. His recent career, was not a change from his previous work.

They kidnapped a mayors daughter to stop police reforms

@workingfamilies.org has introduced me to many people running for an office that the Dem party pay little attention to.

if you bring white supremacists into the tent you are de facto pushing out everyone they are against like queer people, people of color, immigrants, non-christians are you willing to lose all those groups just for a handful of hateful whites?

So, can Trump get in the tent?

Every day someone gets on here and confuses morals, principles, or a spine with “purity tests”.

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy

Is it bad if a sitting federal judge was (allegedly) part of a conspiracy to commit murder? It seems bad ....

I bet there is no one more upset about this than Bob Menendez.

Listen, I am absolutely prone to over-writing stuff. But this book is a sex crime against metaphors.

ok, i'm calling it, Olivia Nuzzi is not real. she is a Markov chain text generator. we've been duped.

When I look at columnists for prestige publications I start to think I could be a wealthy writer by regularly dashing off the first 500 words that came to mind. Then I look at writers who are unemployed and think "I am nowhere near good enough to be a professional writer."

I'm looking for an entry level pentest gig if anyone knows of any openings. Please let me know.

It literally reduces the productivity of employees in every single study they do. AI is not better than anything, it's worse than everything, it's profoundly extractive and unethical, and it's cutting our economy off at the ankles. When the bubble pops, people will starve to death. For what?

The Democrats have this problem where they value behaving honourably toward their opponents over doing the right thing. This isn't a game. There's no Most Sportsmanlike award.

It's astonishing that, in 2025, the point has yet to get through to norms-obsessed prosecutors. A lot of books on this stuff were best-sellers; you can buy them at the airport!

What makes a banana republic a banana republic is not any prosecution of the outgoing administration, but baseless, politically motivated prosecution. There is a whole literature which teaches that, if crimes against the public order occurred, failing to prosecute them hastens democratic decline.

I urge members of the legal profession to realize that prosecuting individuals who seek to overturn the constitutional order is not "retaliation" in any normatively significant sense.

It may have gotten fucked up at least once of course. Remember that time Epstein got a bunch of injuries to his neck and claimed his cell mate tried to murder him and they recorded it as an attempted suicide anyway less than a month before he died www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/jef...

Look, I studied history. I doubt any conspiracy until it’s irrefutably proven, which they almost never are: Oswald acted alone, there are no big 9/11 surprises… But I too have decided that Trump fucking killed that guy in 2019. I will not change my mind.

cmon man they released the entire epstein security footage its not like they said that and 3 minutes were mysteriously missing, and nobody ever addressed that

Seeing Epstein in the news is really hard for Trump, because it’s a fresh reminder of when he had his best friend murdered.

Isn’t it supposed to be a question about Virginia now (RIP)

we can all agree that trump had epstein whacked in federal custody now right. that's not a nutty thing to say now right

I lost five permanent hit points reading this, thanks for that.

I can't believe this is real. It's like someone is throwing darts at my brain

“Helsinki hasn’t registered a single traffic-related fatality in the past year…Citing data that shows the risk of pedestrian fatality is cut in half by reducing a car’s speed from 40 to 30km/hr, city officials imposed the lower limit in most of Helsinki’s residential areas & city center in 2021.”

The term "fun-size" is a conflict between idealism and reality. Ideally, if you enjoy something then a "fun-size" version of it would be more of it and it would be fantastic. One might even say "fun". In reality, a "fun-size" version of something is anything but, as you get less of it. It's bad.

US citizen Maria Greeley, a Latina who was adopted, was walking home from work downtown when masked agents zip tied her. They said she “doesn’t look like a Greeley.” This is how the government treats people under current deportation policies. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/15/l...
