Many profs tell me I make more of difference than them, since my videos receive more viewership than students they'll ever have ⚠️incorrect⚠️ Viewers absorb far less than students. You simply cannot learn as much from passively watching than taking a properly scaffolded class

Watching a series of former Confederate states rush to eliminate any vestige of black representation in the House pretty much answers the question whether the Voting Rights Act was still necessary.

Latest polls show a ceiling of 5% or so of Democratic voters want to increase military assistance to Israel. A whopping 75% want to either educe or eliminate military assistance to Israeli altogether.

Absolutely devastating read. www.them.us/story/slain-...

Virginia Dems asked for permission instead of forgiveness. A mistake, IMHO.

Enjoying the view? #nsfw #oc

We're already living in a grotesquely hypocritical world where everything you get debanked for drawing, writing, or voice-acting suddenly becomes fine if a big enough studio is the one to put it to film. Game of Thrones gets to be a cultural icon but you can't write "But we're sisters!" on a drawing

@discord.com you wanna explain why your AI moderation is so terrible it actually thinks THIS is somehow going too far? This says a LOT about how flawed your system is. It needs to be scrapped. How many friendships permanently severed because people were banned for no good reason?

total wealth of all American billionaires is estimated around $7-8 trillion. total federal spending in FY2025 was $7 trillion. the only way to pay for the government we want is a broad-based system of progressive taxation. that's it. there is no alternative. there is no magic Scrooge money pit.

this is catastrophically untrue, and the fact that it's even come close to picking up currency on the left is a complete disaster for leftist governance. if you expropriated the entire wealth of every billionaire in the country, you could pay for the federal government for one year. that's it.

The word for this is "coup."

WaPo reports Louisiana’s governor will announce on Friday that he is suspending the House primaries where people have already started voting and redraw the map; I’d expect them to go for an all-Republican map and eliminate both majority-Black districts, not just one.

The Voting Rights Act was passed to ensure equal representation in our democracy. The SCOTUS decision today guts the prohibition on racial gerrymandering, effectively using the redlining of the past to rob Black folks of equal representation in the future. It’s a devastating blow to democracy.

EXCLUSIVE: Three days after the White House Correspondents' Dinner, investigators haven’t found the fragment that pierced a Secret Service officer's bulletproof vest  — and can’t definitively say it came from the suspect.

To be clear about what just happened: The Trump administration sent armed FBI agents to abduct a 78-year-old doctor and former federal public health worker from his home and stripped him because the brainwashed right-wing base, hopped up on a literal conspiracy theory, wants scalps.

Woke up and am still fucking livid at the Alex Jones shit. Yes, we all know the rich and powerful have their own rules, but usually it’s with a veneer of our shared reality. This is just pulling legal proceedings out of thin air. All so *Alex Jones* never has to face a consequence.

Thank you to the families for standing with us through all of this. The court has to end this useless delay so we can pay them. “It just seems like the courts are enabling an abuser to continue to abuse,” said Robbie Parker, who lost his 6-year old daughter Emilie Parker in the Sandy Hook shooting.

Fox News compares Bluesky to energy weapons: "China and Russia classify—in the same grouping as pulsing and sonar type weapons that sort of impede the brain—these types of digital platforms and algorithms because they attribute it to a judgment impairment. A softening of your literal brain tissue."

They’re gonna try to ban Bluesky

We're already in the 2nd Gilded Age, but we're also reenacting Jim Crow. The Supreme Court just reaffirmed their 1883 destruction of voting rights. The next steps are new state constitutions and segregation. Here's my lecture on what's recurring: youtu.be/IRyBTXfazMs

Guys racism is over (this is sarcasm)

So are we ready to fight gerrymandering instead of each other yet? Because the legislation already exists but most of you have ignored it.

the party of "a whole civilization will die tonight" fake-rending their garments over violent rhetoric is funnier than the entire history of saturday night live

Sorry, but if you’re mad that the Southern Poverty Law Center paid informants to infiltrate Nazi groups to expose them, then you are a Nazi.

every few months, americans are asked to resume their banquet and pretend a shooting didn't just happen

It is always the case that any radical action by workers to resist the power of capital is "violence" but the constant suffering of poverty, absence of healthcare, hunger, surveillance, wage theft and the rest of it, well... that doesn't really count as "violence."

I don’t know how people keep forgetting that workers rights were entirely written in blood and the capital class had to be threatened with violence before they agreed to things like 8 hour working days and 2 day weekends.

Trump is running an interesting experiment in how many self-identified Christian Americans have actual religious commitments and how many are just into it because it provides a means for the socially defensible expression of bigotry bsky.app/profile/bria...

And Trump posted an image of himself as some sort of American Jesus healing people.

The new social media ban in Massachusetts is so sweeping in its definition of "social media" that it would require age-verification for Wikipedia. You don't protect kids by cutting off resources. acrobat.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:...

“This legislation would have kicked Greta Thuneberg off social media before she organized her first climate protest. How does that make kids safer?” www.fightforthefuture.org/news/2026-04...

If you let them ban porn, they will call you pornographic when they ban you.

You know something that can help people liking their own art... having people telling them they like it "If you dont like your own art nobody will" it's not true, you will always find people who'll like it, please never stop sharing your art because you think it's not good enough

Orban's inability to prevent last year's Pride protests—attended by 300k despite being banned—was a turning point in his authoritarian grip of the country. Queer people are always leading the fight against authoritarianism, as we are often its first targets. Never cower to fear.

Viktor Orban accomplished so much of what the Trump movement wants to accomplish here he ruled for 16 years and rewrote the rules in his favor and still, they threw him out and you know what? they did it by voting don’t let anyone tell you voting doesn’t matter

"It's wROng to HAtE oR wiSh hARm ON pEOPLE jUst BEcAUsE tHey HAve DIFFERent opINIOnS tHAn YOu!" The opinions in question: "BROWN PEOPLE ARE SUBHUMAN! WOMEN DON'T DESERVE RIGHTS, SHOULD OBEY ME AND LET ME FUCK THEM! MORE GUNS SO WE CAN MURDER QUEERS AND IMMIGRANTS!"

Leave it to the good folks at Disney's Australian animation branch to put so much love and heart into a one-shot character in #Bonkers doing a dance routine. That shading! That fluidity!

Around 20% of hospital beds in the US are in Christianist facilities, most Catholic, that have happily been denying reproductive health care and gender-affirming care for decades AND enjoying a nonprofit status. Most people don't realize the stranglehold the church has until it's too late.

Man idk how to express how demoralizing it is to see people doing joke support for the Pope as the Catholic Church implements the most draconian trans healthcare ban anywhere in the US. It's a FULL ADULT TRANS HEALTHCARE BAN!!!THEY KEEP BUYING MORE HOSPITALS!!!!!!! Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

RIP Eric Swalwell, I'll always remember the time you thought it was a good idea to jokingly threaten to nuke American citizens

One way that Orbán sought to entrench power was adopting a new Hungarian constitution in 2011 that classified many policy areas as 'cardinal laws' that require a two-thirds majority vote to change. With almost 100% of votes counted, the Hungarian opposition has just achieved what seemed impossible.

went to check out the techno rave outside Parliament and I don't think I have the data allowance to share a video from it but let me tell you: there sure is a techno rave outside Parliament right now, celebrating Orban getting ousted

a while ago, Bolsonaro was fearing for his imprisonment he sneaked into the Hungary Embassy near his home and spent a couple of days there hiding. so this has sweet taste to us in Brazil.

Trump Approval Among White Non-College Voters: 🔴 Disapprove: 52% (+20) 🟢 Approve: 48% (-20) YouGov / April 2026 (% Change With February 2025)

this is a massive deal.
