What the fuck?

East coast folks! NEXSTAR AND SINCLAIR, which own a HUGE percentage of your local broadcasters, are still kowtowing to fascist 47 and his administration's attempt to stifle free speech. This is bigger than Kimmel. Get out there, (dress like a Jedi?), and let your voice be heard!

If you were concerned about Kimmel, here's another for you… Journalist Mario Guevara has been detained for 100+ days, ironically arrested as he reported on a "No Kings" protest. The Trump-Vance admin just issued an order of final removal, to send him to El Salvador—where he fled from 21 years ago.

This is the fishiest shit I've ever seen. We're supposed to believe the shooter wrote "Anti-ICE" in pen on a bullet and then shot detainees but not ICE officers?

An Israeli drone strike in southern Lebanon killed five people Sunday, including three children, Lebanon’s Health Ministry said. Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri said four of the killed, the three children as well as their father, held U.S. citizenship. https://to.pbs.org/4nifYnI

Can't stop won't stop until Kimmel is back on the air. #WGAstrong

This is a good thread. In short, don't capitulate in advance and don't give in to doomerism. Remember how strong, forceful opposition caused him to back out of Chicago (and other failed initiatives)

No Kings on Oct 18 is going to be the largest peaceful protest in American history. The only way to protect our freedom of speech is to exercise our freedom of speech. Get to planning in your community asap. nokings.org

Recent email from VectorStock (the stock site I use the most for graphic design work) showing AI slop is getting absolutely hammered. "But AI is inevitable!" Yeah right.

The Department of Justice has removed a study showing that white supremacist and far-right violence “continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism” in the United States. 🔗 www.404media.co/doj-deletes-...

“He didn’t EXPLICITLY say that though” Do commercials EXPLICITLY tell you to purchase an exact amount of their products?

I just think 10 years ago the CEO of every public company in the US would be removed for this.

like this is the most irresponsible level of hysteria i’ve ever seen. most of these people are either paid by the republican party, or are high level advisors and allies. this is insane

Corporate media bravely continues Charlie Kirk's legacy by committing to destroy the careers of anyone who disagreed with him: www.404media.co/comcast-nbcu...

White supremacy in a nutshell. www.qasimrashid.com/p/a-white-ma...

We have a bit of a natural experiment here. Compare the tone, quantity and duration of Charlie Kirk coverage with that of the two Dem lawmakers gunned down in their homes in Minnesota 6 months ago. May be revealing.

What’s happening to CBS News is neither complicated nor subtle. www.mediamatters.org/cbs/how-cbs-...

🔥DANNY DEVITO: “Absolutely, I’m a social democrat… I love Bernie… I’m for Medicare for All… if we can bail out the banks we can forgive student debt… I’m not a fan of the president… we should be making life better for each other.” Devito 2028?

To put this into context, the judicial warrant for the search at the Hyundai plant named just four people. Relying on that warrant, ICE detained nearly 500 people. DHS admitted that included U.S. citizens, permanent residents, and people lawfully here on visas.

The longer I play Silksong the more bullshit it’s getting??

To do list for residents of cities on the brink of federal occupation: 1. Throw money at mutual aid funds that serve immigrants; 2. Start DEMANDING local/county/state elected resistance (all kinds) to fed aggression; 3. Join + fund ICE watch groups; 4. Neutralize police cooperation with ICE/feds

Don't feel like doing a repost that puts the murder video on the timeline yet again but do feel like repeating the point that the president just straight-up assassinated 11 people for supposedly doing something that wouldn't be a death-penalty crime if they were caught and convicted

Newsletter: My 16,000 word opus - How To Argue With An AI Booster, a comprehensive guide to arguing with AI boosters, addressing both their bad faith debate style and their specific (and flimsy) arguments as to why generative AI is the future. www.wheresyoured.at/how-to-argue...

The greatest irony of the AI booster is they're oftentimes not actually fans of AI. Boosterism is a kind of religion, where technology is a means of proving intellectual and philosophical superiority by telling half-truths about software sold by billionaires. www.wheresyoured.at/how-to-argue...

I need people to understand: 1. Every US state already evicts more people annually than all of the EU combined 2. In most states, having a disability, health emergency, or a financial hardship is not a defense to an eviction suit 3. In most states, there is no right to counsel in eviction cases

The CDC shooting didn’t even really register in the news and the details are absolutely insane

This is a beautiful garment. Let me show you what makes it special. 🧵

D.C. TODAY…

As federal authorities sweep homeless encampments in D.C. , I want to resurface the reporting we @propublica.org did last year on the possessions people lose, which include the things they need to survive: projects.propublica.org/homeless-enc...

Today #ICE and Border Patrol descended on the plaza of the Japanese American Nat'l Museum. The very spot where Japanese Americans, including my family, were rounded up and sent to concentration camps with no due process in 1942. The community wasn't having it. Read JANM's statement bit.ly/4oDsjng

@standupforscience.bsky.social launched a petition today to get rid of RFK Jr -- to make America healthy, we need evidence based science, not misinformation sign here: www.standupforscience.net/rfk-impeachm...

Piece of shit ICE fascists are swarming Little Tokyo. Posted up outside the Japanese American Museum threatening people with internment. Impossible to overstate how disgusting these people are.

When IT happens, we can definitely celebrate, but there’s also so much rot that needs to be unearthed 😮‍💨

I am horrified. If you use US material, download all old reports you use. The record will be erased. Even that might not save you: every report sourced from the US will now have to be suspected of politicised manipulation and will in the future the same credibility as Iran’s human rights reports

I’m making my own detective show! This is a labor of love that took me 2 months to write, 11 hours of filming, and I’m still editing away at it. Anyway, here’s Part 1, hope you enjoy:

If you see this pop up on a website, you should not use that website.

Terrific 🧵 Happy 4th, everyone.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

The Senate passed the MAGA budget. Now it’s up to the House—and we’ve got a list of 27 vulnerable reps and their top donors. It’s time to apply pressure. Start calling. Start tagging. Let’s do this! Link to the spreadsheet included below: open.substack.com/pub/objectio...

If one of these people is your senator, it is incredibly important that you call them today. Urge them to vote NO on the Senate budget bill that would make most Americans poorer to give billionaires a tax cut they don't even need.

I’m curious about the results of this spreading across sections of the US where barbecue is considered a food group

🚨 One of the most flippable House seats in the country is CA-40—and my friend @christinaforca.bsky.social is running to flip it. She stood up for LGBTQ+ kids on her school board even when it risked her seat. She fights for working families. Let’s help her win! secure.actblue.com/donate/gagni...

Soooo secession or…

Let’s be absolutely clear: the phrase “let’s be absolutely clear” is so overused that it just feels like clickbait now
