Anthropic: hey we love that you want to use our model, just don’t use it to spy on US citizens at random, and don’t let machines kill people without human intervention Pete Hegseth: fuck you

I almost feel like we need an Azimov Ammendment. "The government will take no action to harm people unless that action prevents a greater number of people coming to harm." Okay, not a robotics law, but still

You can’t find a colorblind framework to confront white supremacy.

The guy who staged a failed coup last time is building a massive personal militia staffed with lawless thugs. At this point it’s just naïve not to see where this is going.

If I could change one thing about journalism, it would be this. "Trump says" belongs on the gossip page, not the front page Using newspaper language metaphorically of course

i was once too broke to move from one apartment in a building down the hall to another post-breakup. moving isn’t cheap or particularly fun &, by and large, trans people aren’t doing great economically. 401,000 trans people fleeing their governments should be considered a fucking national emergency.

This 53 year old man who lived in my neighborhood w/no criminal record & who had been in the US for 30 years, was detained and thrown into a cold cell for days, caught pneumonia and COVID there and deported. He finally died. I am so angry. www.kptv.com/2026/02/21/n...

Why are folks not asking more questions about this FBI complaint in the Epstein Files? www.justice.gov/epstein/file...

I very much look forward to the day when the President's mood and anger level will stop being a major topic of political coverage.

“We have all been here before We have all been here before”

Concerned about ICE's $45 billion plan to convert warehouses into immigration detention centers? This is what they'll look like inside. From ICE's plan for the Social Circle, GA facility. Each little dot: a person. www.socialcirclega.gov/home/showpub...

Hmm. The US is giving $10 billion in taxpayer dollars, not appropriated by Congress, to a fake board set up by the President and which he put himself in charge of *for life*... seems very, very illegal.

So the Republicans want to build underground bunkers in Gaza #huh www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

This is insane y’all

The horror stories rolling in from Minnesota are just the tip of the iceberg. This 20-year-old, who's lawfully present in the country, was arrested for being Latino, then jailed in a filthy cell where he couldn't even sit down. 18 days of illegal detention. democracyforward.org/wp-content/u...

Unfortunately this will never get traction because Africa has always been the "literally don't care" part of the world map for all whites

BREAKING: Epstein Files appear to include emails discussing “elite role-play or themed gatherings” at which Black people are “released into an arena maze to be hunted” [source: Wall Media]

full skepticism and abolition of AI as currently envisioned is the only rational response, if there is a "use" for AI beyond making billionaires richer and destroying society, then I'll accept some compromises

Trump’s so-called Department of War is threatening to cut ties with Anthropic because it won’t help the Pentagon conduct mass surveillance on Americans or make fully autonomous weapons that the administration can use however it likes. Anthropic refused unfettered use. newrepublic.com/post/206631/...

The Trump administration has paid $128.5 mn for a warehouse in Social Circle, GA, which it now proposes to convert into a concentration camp. Only 2 yers ago, the facility was acquired for $29 mn by a Moscow-based real estate company, PNK.

Either you're for billionaires or the press is gonna treat you like this

Tell me the size of that middle part of the Venn diagram that forms when you put billionaires in one circle and private island pedophiles in the other. Don't tell me there is no overlap

UBI is coming. The only choice is to decide if we're going to do it with dollars or if we're going to go with a collection of digital currencies like Primes, Doges, AppleCoin and Mithril. Because if it's the second, terms and conditions will apply

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

[in the old gawker font] FILED TO: A Hit Dog Will Holler

ProPublica received eight handwritten letters from children who have been held at the detention center that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was recently released from. We'll let their words speak for themselves.

The pace at which US wealth concentration is rising is simply staggering The concentration of AI wealth into the hands of a few tech barons + plutocratic capture ==> unchartered territory

Republicans are attempting to destroy communities that traditionally vote against Republicans I wonder why

Thanks to Susan Collins, Rs now claim to have secured 51 votes in the Senate & will thus move into the phrase of pressuring Senators to nuke the filibuster. If this pressure campaign succeeds, their voter suppression bill, the Save America Act, becomes law. Thread. #NoOnSave

If Moderna is no longer bringing vaccine trials for Epstein-Barr virus (good evidence that EB causes Multiple Sclerosis), herpes, and shingles because of Trump appointees, I want prison time for those appointees. This might be dooming millions to disease they don’t have to experience.

That ranks quite high on the Nazi scale

Republicans want you to die

Easy: They hate America. They hate Anericans. They desise our multicultural multiethnic democracy and the dream of freedom and egalitarianism for all and they're stamping it out.

Ideally you’d have a President who is in the Epstein files significantly fewer than 30,000 times

As Le Point and Le Monde have both reported, Epstein was running a major project out of his luxurious apartment in Paris' 16th arrondissement to advance the interests of Marine Le Pen and her Pétainiste party, which appears to have been coordinated on several levels with the Kremlin. Here's Bannon.

Megyn Kelly just shouting “FOOTBALL IS OURS” at Piers Morgan about Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl show is the perfect example of this moment in time. Put it in a time capsule and send it out into space.

The U.S. currently has more prisoners and a more sophisticated system of concentration camps than Nazi Germany had on the eve of World War II in 1939

History might remember this guy

White peoples' dogs occupy a higher position in the social order than most BIPOC. Been sayin this for years.

We’re onto you, Ring

Newly released video shows FPS breaking their own window... in what is practically 4K.

What's that? You say you want to learn more about Puerto Rico's electricity grid?

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

Yeah I’m looking for my dog (girlfriend who has a restraining order against me and she has a dog) and here’s the picture of the dog (she walks this dog and I can use it to figure out her schedule) thanks for sending all footage my way

“For 280 days we haven’t eaten a single piece of fruit, banana, apple, orange, or anything fresh. We are all in one big room with no doors or windows. We can’t see any grass or trees. We are all constantly sick.” Conditions in a San Diego concentration camp, via message hurled out in a bottle.

With FDA-approved use of "beefy" so no consumer confusion with beef

Acive duty military are being ordered to buy a ticket to Melania and watch it, whether they want to, or not. www.thedailybeast.com/obsessed/mil...

Y'all are so damn clever.

Federal judge: "The presumption of regularity that has previously extended to [the United States Government] that it could be taken at its word—with little doubt about its intentions and stated purposes—no longer holds." This is in a case where the Trump admin sued Oregon.
