so the ceasefire is done for, israel has resumed attacking gaza fully after claiming the idf was attacked by anti-tank fire, which hamas strenuously denies any knowledge of. they sought out whatever flimsy excuse they could now that they have the hostages back.

Little wins + joys are more important than ever right now. Like everything is bad, but my little orange cat has decided that between my legs is the safest place to sleep / purr for hours. And that is good, despite the horrors.

My only solace is seeing so many people wirh fascist views have meltdowns because they're realizing how many people loathe them.

these people cannot imagine disbanding the gestapo because they like having gestapo around. they are fascists.

They didn't turn up looking for a fight. They weren't in riot gear for once. No mounted police and I didn't see any snipers (though I might just not have seen them). A lot of the cops weren't even in normal gear they were in like polo shirts

I know it's a fool's errand to expect anything from the media but "President posts video of himself dumping diarrhea on America" is an important thing to call attention to for a dozen reasons

Sleep is a biological necessity, and sleep deprivation has real physical, psychological, and social consequences that need to be taken seriously. The way our society treats it as slothful to sleep according to natural rhythms (including midday naps and variant chronotypes like night owls) is evil.

A big lesson of the civil rights movement was that everyone has their own activism and we support each other. If you're a radical activist, you can draw fire away from peaceful protestors. If you're a pacifist and you see radicals fucking shit up, no you didn't. You didn't see a damn thing.

Senator Ed Markey (D-MA) at the Boston No Kings rally today, wore the trans pride flag like a scarf draped over his shoulders and included in his speech. "Because here in Massachusetts, we stand for what is right. We stand with trans people because trans rights are human rights."

Wikipedia is the best single thing the Internet has ever given us and it's not even close

The fact that this is Newsom’s response to a coordinated planned terrorist display should be disqualifying for future office. Deploy. The. National. Guard. That’s a governor’s right. Don’t capitulate to bullies.

if you're going to a protest today I wish you luck. The only specific thing I will beg of you is this: don't use milk to wash out tear gas or mace. if you see a street medic with milk, yell at them until they throw it out. do not continue to spread lies about emergency medicine.

Examples of how fascist untruths get regurgitated as fact by LLMs are ubiquitous, but this one is really jarring. The Harvard Kennedy School article Gemini scraped is entirely about how the claim is false. Gemini cannot parse this, instead sharing DHS propaganda as fact when you search her name.

Hasan: I am not willing to sit back and watch our glorious American multiracial and multicultural democratic experiment destroyed by the guy from Home Alone 2.

This is depraved beyond belief

fellas, is it jihad to enjoy being alive?

heartbroken to learn the pope sympathizes with the poor. how can i continue to believe in god

This guy's just-woke-up-from-a-coma act is so good I'm gonna have to steal it. Boss asking you about that missed deadline? Hearing about it for the first time. Wife mad you forgot your anniversary? Sorry I'm not familiar with that person. Weef? Is that how you say it?

> secret order of reactionary catholics bent on world domination control the banks every accusation i fkn swear

"Incredibly, Trump’s recent announcements have made the situation even worse. By declaring that U.S. economic support will only continue if Milei wins at the polls, he has galvanized the Argentine opposition to Milei, thus leading to more capital flight and skyrocketing interest rates."

So the president of the United States plans to meet with Putin in Hungary, and when a reporter asked where that plan came from, this was the reply of the United States government www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

i love when they do this. im sorry senator i don't keep up on what the fbi is doing in regards to disturbing allegations against high ranking administration officials, im just the attorney general. im sorry im just the speaker of the house you expect me to oversee DHS??

If I was in the leadership of one of the two ruling parties in this country I would probably get pretty loudly angry about a candidate from my party getting brutalized by the federal & local cops sicced on them by the party we both oppose

they’re almost certainly purposefully targeting her at this point

Pritzker should absolutely say something here, but we’re going to see these scenes play out across the country, and the Democratic Party in general needs to come up with a response that doesn’t throw the people they’re encouraging to take the streets under the bus.

A reminder that anti Muslim bigotry and hate continues to be a risk free political strategy. But it also endangers everyone else. Case in point: ICE and the erosion of foundational civil liberties is an outcome of post 9/11 “anti terrorism” legislation.

Cops led us into the street as the new “protest zone” and then beat us repeatedly. Got hit in the face with a baton. Leaving to pick up my friends who were arrested. Stay safe out there.

Hey @govpritzker.illinois.gov, you need to do something about these ISP goons attacking protesters like @katmabu.bsky.social.

I've been a big booster of Pritzker when I think he's been right on stuff (and I'll still say when I think he's in the right), but he needs to take action here. People should be able to protest ICE without getting manhandled or pushed into a "free speech zone."

There is an undercurrent of moving backwards in social science that I find really disturbing. The right wants social science to go back to a time when everything was based on prejudice-infused vibes.

literally no need for this the protesters were just standing there, not causing any problems. then here come the police, causing problems. I need @govpritzker.illinois.gov to tell these goons to go home. And if he can't or won't do so, I need to know that, too.

Segregationists spoke of the “long civil rights movement” as the “Second Reconstruction” and for inspiration turned to the Redemptionists, who declared war on the first Reconstruction and after many decades of legal and extralegal efforts Installed Jim Crow regimes. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/16/u...

Border Patrol finally released a statement about its antisemitic Instagram video. I wrote about the agency’s whiny response and the fact that DHS has frequently been caught lying in recent months.

This is probably wrong of me but I genuinely don’t think I’d know when those No Kings protests are if not for Republican Senators getting on tv and being like “Skeletor will be there, everyone who is there will get an abortion, the ceremony will raise the dread visions of Nyarlathotep”

In about three years the entire university pivot to AI curricula and schools and programs is going to be so deeply embarrassing. We will all pretend it never happened and I will be standing there, looking at people with a mirror in my eyes. This is all so embarrassing.

It is very hard not to see each of these departures as part of a broader purge to establish a military loyal to Trump

my #1 issue for 2026, ahead of everything else including guaranteeing my own rights and safety, is bringing back the stockades for That Fuckin Guy specifically

Anyone from the AI world who thinks ‘agentic AI will replace journalists’ should read this piece. Anyone who thinks ‘public service journalism is dead’ should read this piece (or revise their understanding of ‘public service’)

0.000% of Communism has been built. Evil child-murdering billionaires still rule the world with a shit-eating grin. All he has managed to do is make himself *sad*. He is starting to suspect Kras Mazov *fucked him over* personally with his socio-economic theory.

israel has already broken the ceasefire

you have to call off the state police that is roughing up protesters if you are serious.

it’s kinda hard to pretend that what this country supports in israel is the idea of “jews” and not just the ability to do unlimited genocide when everyone in our government turns out to be a hitler heiling, nazi flag waving, insurrectionary fascist

A Democratic senator from New York went on a radio show and called him a jihadist lol

Quite a quote—and addendum— from a cybertruck owner

🧵 1. I saw some high-profile pro-Palestine accounts condemning Mamdani for saying "I'm going to have ppl in my admin who are Zionists" & for allegedly putting a "softer spin on his anti-Israel past" So [coughs, puts on ye ol' media analysis professor hat] I looked into the source and HOOO BOY...

Turkey is set to criminalize being openly trans along with same-sex couples who hold engagement or wedding ceremonies. This is the same trajectory the US is on. www.attitude.co.uk/news/turkish...
