hey is the word “eliminate” good when they’re talking about You. just wondering

After an AI was trained to be anti-woke and within hours it became MechaHitler.

holy shit. Cuomo halted an investigation into the Weinstein case after a donation from Weinstein’s former lawyer’s firm to his reelection campaign… guys, this was in 2018 AFTER the Weinstein exposés (multiple) had been published & the #metoo movement was ascendant

How about instead everyone watch our next episode of the @cancelmedaddy.bsky.social podcast about how AI constantly makes shit up and you shouldn't trust it.

which is the definition of Terrorism

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode the deficit. 3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions. 4) Repeat. They're trying to get away with it again.

I want to offer a public apology to FDA head Marty Makary for calling him an ignorant piece of shit in a post last night. I just learned he is an islet transplant surgeon. Yes, the cells that produce insulin. I was wrong. He is not ignorant. This piece of shit knows *exactly* what he is doing.

I don’t care if you hate porn. Please for the love of god don’t get stuck there cognitively. Anti-porn legislation + how trans and NB people (even cis drag queens/kings) are being consistently described as sexually deviant = the groundwork is being laid for all queer expression to be made illegal.

Breast cancer diagnoses rose by over 300% between 1973 and 1992. Was there a breast cancer epidemic?! NO. Mammograms were implemented for screening in 1976. PREVALENCE is a function of being able to correctly diagnose something. This is also about autism.

Month-old baby girl pulled from rubble in Gaza after air strike kills parents

Fresh off claiming Trump’s bullshit “war” allows them to ignore habeas corpus, snatch people off the street, and ship them to a foreign gulag without due process, they’re now claiming it also allows them to ignore the Fourth Amendment. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/20/u...

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

🚨 Texas House Rep. Brent Money has introduced the first total ban on gender affirming care for all trans people in Texas. This is an unequivocal ban affecting all trans people by removing amending the existing ban on trans youth to apply to adults as well. capitol.texas.gov/tlodocs/89R/...

The Iowa legislature just became the first in modern history to repeal a statutory civil rights law by removing protections for gender identity first passed in 2007. They have legalized discrimination against trans people in housing, healthcare, and employment. This is a campaign of eradication.

100000000% THIS Remember Mitch McConnell's strategy was to use unchallenged seats on school boards, city councils, etc to build a foundation of extreme right-wing power. Progressives need to do the same. This is why I donate to @runforsomething.net monthly. If you're willing, they'll help you run.

I keep saying this but... if you live in a big city and want to fight fascism, questioning what your mayor and cops are doing to unhoused people is an *excellent* start. Criminalizing people who have nothing is how nice urban liberals do fascism.

Another way this feels similar to COVID — the disaster is already unfolding but the people in charge seem to think it’ll only impact “blue” areas.

There is a ton of great work published in CDC journals. Taking those offline is unfathomable. And yet, it happened and is at risk of disappearing again. Much of this is work taxpayers already funded. Why isn't DOGE crying about this abuse of funds??

A fave from Kelly’s list: www.404media.co/you-cant-pos...

This is an absolute scandal. Trump and Marco Rubio abandoned American workers and their families abroad, delaying waivers to provide for their safe return to the United States. As these civil servants lost their possessions, housing, and money, Elon Musk was slandering them with bogus accusations.

I love this man tho

Reps. Judy Chu (D-Calif.) and Gwen Moore (D-Wisc.) barged into House Speaker Mike Johnson’s office unscheduled on Wednesday and challenged him about Elon Musk's team gaining access to a sensitive payment system at the Treasury Department. www.politico.com/live-updates...

Malaria will resurge The President’s Malaria Initiative—suspended by Trump—is the #1 funder of malaria control Our study of 75 malaria resurgence events found that almost all were due to the control program being weakened—usually from funding cuts malariajournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

This is both an attempt to extend the reach of anti-abortion laws across state lines to violate the sovereignty of blue states, and also an effort to criminalize women’s solidarity and love for one another. They arrested the girl’s mother, too.

If you cannot call it what it is when all in a week: a government removes every mention of a group of people, destroys information about them en masse, bans their discussion in schools, restricts their ability to travel and starts seizing and refusing their official identification, when will you?

Today is International Holocaust Remembrance Day, and people in the US are forced to hide in their attics to avoid being captured by armed agents of the state.

⚠️ Trump fires at least 12 independent inspectors general in late-night purge The dismissals could clear the way for the president to install loyalists in the crucial role of identifying fraud, waste and abuse in the government. Gift link: wapo.st/4azdaNb

Pete Hegseth as defense secretary is a far bigger threat to national security than TikTok if we're being completely honest

The extremists asking the Court to block PrEP access argue that requiring employers to cover PrEP “violates their religious beliefs by making them complicit in facilitating homosexual behavior, drug use & sexual activity outside of marriage between one man & one woman.” Their bigotry is explicit.

internally at Meta: -trans and nonbinary themes stripped from Messenger -enforcement policy now allows for the denial of trans people's existence -tampons removed from men's restrooms -DEI programs shuttered -Kaplan briefed top conservative influencers the night before policy changes were announced

multiple tells here that this isn't Zuck just bending the knee to Trump, or trying to compete with Elon for influence he's personally transphobic and wants to hurt his own employees

"at Meta’s offices in Silicon Valley, Texas and New York, facilities managers were instructed to remove tampons from men’s bathrooms, which the company had provided for nonbinary and transgender employees who use the men’s room and who may have required sanitary pads" www.nytimes.com/2025/01/10/t...

Remember that California voted to keep legalized slavery for incarcerated people. Many of those fighting these fires are effectively modern day enslaved people. They're forced to risk their lives for their freedom.

Maybe before making up just-so stories about why and how the left forced the Silicon Valley bros to go hard right, you could look up the bros' personal histories, their family histories, or the entire history of ultra-rich people in general

Fuck this bigot. www.daytondailynews.com/nation-world...

NEW: Rather than relying on his party’s control of Congress to trim the budget, Trump and his advisers intend to test an obscure legal theory holding that presidents have sweeping power to defund programs they dislike.

Apropos of nothing, anybody who says that audiobooks aren’t “real” reading or that people who use them aren’t “real” readers can kiss both my ass and my royalty statement.
