He said "Amen" straight into the drop Lmao Pope Leo threw a rave for an archbishop's 75th birthday this is kind of incredible

I'm gonna need every single person admonishing us to participate in ICE watch & document "non-violently" to read this by a definitely NOT radical org "Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has said that revealing the identities of agents and videotaping them on operations constitutes “violence”

once again joining the many people who have observed how much of a world-historical problem it is that Trump is so fucking funny

'Iran’s capital must be moved because the country “no longer has a choice,” President Masoud Pezeshkian said on Thursday in remarks carried by state media, warning that severe ecological strain has made Tehran impossible to sustain' #Iran 🇮🇷

You ever just sit down and realize that the rise of 21st century fascism is capital's answer to climate change?

Every time the shocking, perplexing tactic of “giving money to people who need it” is tried, it turns out to work. And yet people who have more money than they could ever need remain baffled.

I cannot express how important it is for anyone going through a secured checkpoint like TSA to make sure thier phone is in BFU (Before First Unlock) mode. To enter this state: reboot your phone and don't unlock it. In BFU mode all data is encrypted and your phone requires a passcode to unlock.

i'd say it did. the public put a group of thieves, vandals and extremists in office last november and they promptly went about destroying everything that might work to limit their ability to loot, steal and inflicting pain on the people they hate

Something I think you have to think about before deciding to sit down and write a memoir is, "Am I an interesting person"

In case it's not clear, there is sooooo much organizing happening right now against this regime. It's really amazing.

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

If your city isn't taking substantive steps to bring this about where you live, it's because planners and politicians believe it's acceptable for pedestrians and cyclists to die so that car owners can enjoy convenience.

Epstein survivors just dropped a powerful message for Congress, and it hits like a warning: no more waiting, the truth is coming, ready or not. Watch till the end @housedemocrats.bsky.social @houserepublicans.bsky.social

Absolutely fucked.

NEW: Welcome to the Great AI Bubble. Yes, it’s here. And yes, it’s going to burst. It’s also got way more in common with the Epstein scandal than you really want to know. open.substack.com/pub/broligar...

1) Given all the environmental criticisms, wild that the Maryland Department of the Environment is involved in this 2) I just feel like these aren't AI issues, these are capitalism issues (at least the first two certainly are)

egret extravaganza

Basically saying "if you do crime for me, I won't only pardon you--I'll give you millions of dollars of public money." Truly unprecedented level of corruption www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

Unlike other nations, the US has racked up unprecedented debt by giving away treasury funds to the wealthiest 0.1% of its population through a process that sociologists call capture.

Is AI making job recruitment less meritocratic? We're getting some v interesting research studies on this question now, and the news is... not good. @jburnmurdoch.ft.com & I dive in, in the latest edition of our newsletter The AI Shift www.ft.com/content/e5b7...

Anything short of open borders is bigotry. I mostly keep this one quiet because it's so far from political reality that it's not worth talking about, but there's really no morally justifiable reason that I should be able to move to Utah, but a Guatemalan guy should not.

on this day of misandry here to ask why does our new director of city planning have Robert Redford level hair and face, in fact better, as I write him a very professional email shhh

Baltimore, I can't take credit for this, but this is a good acronym for the information you want to add if you want reports of ICE agents to be actionable or usable instead of unintentionally spreading panic: Size Activity Location Uniforms Time Equipment

currently extremely disgusted by men, like actual nausea, good morning

The value of reading history is you know that in 1860 there were abolitionists who were so demoralized that they thought chattel slavery would be permanent. 5 years later those still alive had lived to see its end.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

This is far worse than anyone expected. Trump's HUD plan would cut *two-thirds* of permanent housing and push as many as 170,000 formerly homeless people back onto the street—redirecting funds to work mandates, forced treatment, and encampment sweeps. All as mass internment camps are being built.

this is actually really something. The NY Times stuff is bonkers.

New reporting reveals that Jeffrey Epstein played a role in brokering security agreements for Israel, and enjoyed close relationships with powerful Israeli officials.

feels relevant today

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

Here’s hoping things unravel quickly for Trump, and the fascist movement fragments. Popular forces in the streets, particularly against ICE, could do a lot to push and consolidate mass opposition rn

None of this is good. Most especially for the victims.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have discovered a powerful antibody, known as 04_A06, that is able to neutralize 98.5% of MORE THAN 300 different HIV strains AND permanently reduce HIV viral load to undetectable levels, making it one of the broadest-acting antibodies against HIV identified to date.

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

recently helped via my dayjob to run a climate conference for the Baltimore area that was basically a public private partnership circle jerk & cannot tell you how many times panelists said the utter inanity "and how does this connect to climate?", like not even sensical at the grammatical level 😮‍💨

the republican party is engaged in a cover up to keep the american people from learning whether president trump is president pedo

The IDF is 80% sniper or killing tourism, but like this story here...we won't talk about it until 30 years from now

"President Donald Trump’s federal law enforcement crackdown has hit a disgusting new low, after federal agents reportedly pepper-sprayed a 1-year-old in Chicago and then lied about it."
