Yeah, it's easy to mistake confusion for JAQing.

that video of "ICE cops" being pelted with snowballs in NYC is not actually in NYC and it is not ICE and it is from years ago...

“Woman Enjoying Career Literally Made Possible by Feminism Declares Feminism a Failure”

as an aside i am fascinated by this whole effort to make katie miller a thing. she’s incredibly off-putting and totally vacant behind the eyes!

If you want to stay home to raise babies, you should be able to do so. But not everyone wants to do that and THAT's THE POINT. Folks should be able to do what they want AND importantly THE RESOURCES should exist to support those choices. That's the part that these ghouls elide.

Google is hosting a CBP app that uses facial recognition to identify immigrants, while simultaneously removing apps that report the location of ICE officials because Google sees ICE as a vulnerable group. “Big tech has made their choice.” www.404media.co/google-has-c...

“Then they shouldn’t have voted for this!” Bitch, Asheville is a blue college town and the county has gone blue for decades. I am so sick of this “if I pretend disasters only happen to red areas, it means I’m safe because I’m properly on the left!” No. You’re not safe. That’s why we save everybody.

I saw someone describe the hive-mind in [Pluribus] (or rooting for such) as anti-human & I can't think of anything much more human than ultimately forming a hive-mind. (Generally, of course.. I've issues with the way the one in the show works but yah.)

will also add - yes, this is my personal crusade - that turning podcasts into videos implicitly asks women to once again make more effort than men, as the bar for "camera-ready" for one gender is obviously higher than for the other

New U.S. border rule just dropped! Canadians now get photographed EVERY time they enter and exit the U.S. land, air, sea. ✔️ Includes children ✔️ Photos stored for life ✔️ No opt-out Driving over for the day? You’re still getting scanned. #USDemocracy #Pinks apple.news/AtXc_G3WGQgG...

Two-thirds of voters at Indiana University Bloomington’s sole on-campus polling site used their university ID to vote in the fall of 2024. Indiana banned students from using these IDs for voting this spring.

I know 2 things with absolute certainty: 1. I love my wife. 2. I will not know a day of peace until the American empire is brought to its knees bringing on an age of full multipolarity, where the African diaspora can experience true liberation. And that’s why I shouldn’t be selected for jury duty.

You know something I don’t understand? Golf course “views”. I’ve never looked out a window at a soulless expanse of cultivated grass with a golf course on it and thought, “oh yeah that’s relaxing!” Maybe the ones in Scotland or something but not in Boca.

this is something I think about a lot vis a vis observability. people have a pretty good instinct but pretty poor outcomes when it comes to telemetry design; we know when we’re at our own “context window” but its tricky to promulgate that at scale aicoding.leaflet.pub/3may5niwoyk2...

Happy Pop-Tarts Bowl Day to all who celebrate

I seriously thought all the PopTart stuff was an AI PsyOp! 😭

“After the attack on journalists outside the al-Shifa hospital, the RSF filed its fifth complaint against Israel at the ICC, alleging war crimes for its treatment of Palestinian journalists. Yet they continue to be killed with impunity.” www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... #Gaza

This message hits hard.

You may not have noticed the massive proliferation of AI-written police reports–and that’s by design. In 2025, EFF and several states pushed back. eff.org/deeplinks/2...

We have a HUGE opportunity right now thanks to a very generous matching donor. Between now and New Year's Day we need your help to get as close as possible to raising $12,500 to start 2026 with $25,000! donorbox.org/end-of-year-...

✅ Yes, an email from an assistant U.S. attorney said Trump had flown on Epstein's jet "many more times than previously reported" and "on at least eight flights between 1993 and 1996." www.snopes.com/fact-check/t...

"Martin" sent this pic from CA's Imperial Valley where they are harvesting rappini broccoli. "It's raining which makes the work harder. We are harvesting and making small bunches of rapini which we feed into the machine to pack it into boxes. It is very tiring work." #WeFeedYou

this keeps on happening to various lawsky posters, where a statement of the legal consequences of action X gets taken as a justification of the fact that X is illegal, or that we want to see people jailed, and the intention is the *opposite* of that omfg

the extent to which people will waffles here "I want people to know that what they're considering doing is a felony" somehow gets taken as an endorsement of fact that the act is legally a felony, or a statement that I want the people in question jailed, rather than trying to keep them OUT of jail

"One Word Describes Trump" www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv... I missed this on its first trip around, then saw it on the "most popular with readers" list for 2025. Recommended, despite the cheesy headline. Especially valuable if you have ever compared him to a mob boss. [Gift link]

Ask your MAGA dad or brother what he thinks about this. What if you were in this restroom? What if These men are just posing as #ice? How can you even tell if they aren't showing badges & don't have a standard uniform? Ask your mom & sister what they'd feel if they were in there. #ICELawlessness

If you haven't, this is an awesome time to follow @sentientmedia.org, the only nonprofit, nonpartisan news organization solely focused on factory farms and their effects on climate, animals, workers, clean water, public health and rural communities. You can get their newsletter bundle below:

The sheer disregard shown by this regime for the humanity of trans kids and their families is breathtakingly cruel. The Dr. Oz-run Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has proposed two rules that would severely restrict access to gender affirming care for young Americans.

"Did you see what Mark Cuban posted? Oh did you see the clapb—" You shake yourself awake in the cold North Atlantic water. You are not online. It is July of 1858. You are a baleen whale, and you have changed your mind. The future most not come to pass. The telegraph cable must break.

These a**holes Two months ago, they were calling the same decline in crime "fake news," and now they are taking credit for it...which is ludicrous They are total clowns

“There are two types of people who will tell you that you cannot make a difference in this world: those who are afraid to try and those who are afraid you will succeed.” - Ray Goforth

If they hadn't shot at them not only would they have gotten food but they would have gotten insight that where they had holed up was a really bad place to hole up and there were areas nearby that were more suitable. But you know. "Pioneers"

The Donner party tragedy, while obviously a tragedy, also ginned up sympathies for settlers in a time of westward colonialism and genocide of Native Americans.

I'm going to be an asshole and say if you look up the Donner Party history through an indigenous lens it's less a tragedy and more a story of white colonialists getting what they deserved. Wel mel ti/ washoe oral history says they tried to feed them but they shot at them.

It's wild how Zohran embodies every ginned-up night terror and jealousy of Trump/the GOP. Not only is he an ACTUAL Muslim socialist born in Africa, everything they claimed Obama was, but he's been accepted, if not fawned over by Hollywood Cool Kids from the jump, something Trump has always craved.

My whole life we’ve been told that The US is simply too big to have high speed rail

Outing trans kids to parents is evil and WILL lead to abuse, homelessness, suicides. If it was safe to come out at home, the kid already would've done so.

Stephen Miller is employing state terror in service of the open goal of shifting the ethnic mix of the country. In numerous ways he's doing this at the expense of public safety. We spent weeks reporting on Miller's real aims. Here's the result. We hope you'll read: newrepublic.com/article/2041...

NEW: This is a story that took months to pull together and broke my heart a million times writing it. But this isnt a sad story. This is about courage, compassion and survival. And the herculean efforts of a group of people who refuse to lay down and die. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

Kennedy Center seeks $1M from host who canceled show over Trump name change www.newsweek.com/kennedy-cent...

Guessing that the contract he signed for his appearance on Christmas Eve was with “The John F Kennedy Performing Arts Center.” Not with the Donald J Trump John F Kennedy Performing Arts Center. I don’t see how the latter has the standing to bring suit.

No one did more to make the Epstein Files a hot topic more than Trump and the MAGA base. But now it’s a “Democrat inspired Hoax”

See also the BPP's Free Breakfast for Children program which was a successful "shame campaign" that embarassed Congress into passing the School Breakfast program which now feeds 14 million American kids every day. These have been popular campaign strategies since the Great Depression.

🧵 Our mutual aid hub has been a HUGE draw for our immense volunteer base, many of whom have never wanted to be involved politics before now. This model isn’t just about the immediate impacts: It’s about showing our values, building a community, and reaching voters — without selling our soul!
