If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

the economic success of the U.S. is significantly built on the land grant universities and in particular their excellent agricultural science tradition.

1) Start the worst European war since 1945 and commit every imaginable war crime 2) Decide how you want to be rewarded for your aggression 3) Leak the list of your desiderata to the US press 4) Wait for the US president to enforce your wish list on your victim. Russian policy 2025

WARN filings expose 4.7k of Amazon's 14k cuts last month. 500 PMs were laid off while engineers (1,800 laid off) were hit hardest, mostly SDE IIs which refutes the "management bloat" narrative. The trend is clear: Big Tech continues to purge junior roles due to "AI efficiency gains."

When news media share Homeland Security's version of incidents during immigration enforcement, they need to remind the public that the feds have been caught lying repeatedly about what happened. "Homeland Security, whose accounts of past incidents have often been proven untrue, said today ..."

The bill last numbered H.R. 9495 would empower the Treasury Secretary to designate any nonprofit the Secretary wishes to kill a “terrorist supporting organization” and revoke the tax-exempt status on which it depends for survival. Unconstitutional but lethal in the harm it would do while in force.

Meanwhile on Hellsite, who knew all the Elon bots were Nigerian? 🤡

There is a post circulating on Bluesky encouraging the moving of a frozen turkey straight into a pot of hot oil. We are combating this misinformation the best way we know how - through the power of dance music.

Hell...even now, they're all lying about their job cuts. Doing word salad to imply that it's "a.i. efficiencies" because that hurts their stock prices less than saying they're cutting ppl & making those that remain work more.

Fascists (MAGA), more than anything, cannot stand to be humiliated. They enjoy a fight, and being feared and reviled. In their eyes, they are gods. They cannot handle the idea of being viewed as anything other than a serious threat. Deny them that pleasure. They are morons. Fuckin losers lol.

Yet another unique way to stimulate cellular immunity against cancer. “Using the gut immune system to induce cellular immunity is a unique approach,” Shirakawa notes. “And it should be very easy to extend it to other antigen proteins and also infectious diseases.” #ScienceSunday

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

So the US was aware that the world thought the document was US endorsed, yet waited until now to clarify that it wasn't? How could the US have communicated to Ukraine that they had to accept the proposal or lose US support without clarifying that the Russian proposal wasn't actually their proposal?

Great article from @felipedlh.bsky.social about a rarely-acknowledged vibe among recent immigrants: disappointment in the United States. Especially among people who believed they could succeed here by working hard. Only on Flaming Hydra!

Wrote about the time when Trump said some Democrats should be executed, whenever that was.

In normal democracy terms, we've in bad shape and things are getting worse. In consolidated authoritarianism terms, we're doing pretty well, as the regime is haphazard, meeting resistance, and growing increasingly unpopular. Depends on one's perspective. I started using the latter standard in Jan.

In Rhode Island, ICE arrested an intern who worked for a court, and then a judge intervened to say they had the wrong person. All leading to a scene where ICE agents surrounded the judge's car and "threatening to smash in the windows if they did not comply." www.wfla.com/news/judge-i...

Fighter jet purchases depend on confidence in future reliability. They need parts, maintenance, ongoing communication, trust that no measure will ever be electronically disabled, etc. Telling Canada buy US jets or we’ll hurt your economy more is effectively communicating it’d be dumb to buy US jets.

"The Trump EPA approved the highly persistent pesticide isocycloseram, a “forever chemical,” for golf courses, lawns & food crops such as oranges, tomatoes, almonds, peas, & oats. The administration plans to approve 3 more PFAS pesticides in the coming year." biologicaldiversity.org/w/news/press...

The Trump-Putin plan to end the Ukraine war would reward Russia’s aggression. But even if Ukraine rejects it, the talks excluded Ukraine and Europe, adopting Russia’s frame of the US and Russia settling imperial spheres of influence. For Putin, it’s win-win. My latest, in @msnownews.bsky.social.

It is the weekend before Thanksgiving - a perfect time to pick up any last-minute safety devices such as smoke alarms and fire extinguishers.

The Guardian reports that the U.S. plan incl several lines that were certainly drafted in RU before being translated. In EN they sound unnatural and out of place. Example, 3rd point: “Russia is expected not to invade neighbouring countries, and NATO is expected not to expand further.”

Get yourself someone who righteously hates something as much as @jfallows.bsky.social hates leaf blowers (I’m with him! at least go electric)

too many edtech apps use gambling techniques- leagues, putting schools against each other, streaks, and then the coercive bullying of “you made xyz app sad” Same with the account closure messages that say “sorry you are breaking up with us “. All shows how tech has contempt for consent

I came here to write this. They are seeing what they can get away with atm. They will try again later if they are not stopped.

If the orders were legal, why were people who followed them given immunity? It really is that simple.

We got “liberated”, alright — from jobs that make stuff. 🤡 @justinwolfers.bsky.social #NFP

speaking as a virginia beach native if these kind of dudes are plotting against ICE then there is wide runway in public opinion for straight up abolishing the agency under a dem presidency

The US is no longer a reliable ally to Europe. Trump’s traitorous policy will also, sadly, cost the US European support on other issues, including China

This happened at GEO's Moshannon Valley Detention Center in Phillipsburg, PA, which is the largest ICE detention facility in NE US: www.spotlightpa.org/statecollege...

Keep his name alive - Chao Feng Ge. Officials, including DHS and the coroner, ruled his death a suicide. A SUICIDE. I don't know much about forensics but it seems hanging oneself while one's hands and feet are bound is - impossible?

Thousands of migrants have "disappeared" without a trace. Rape, sexual abuse, and torture are rampant and systemic in ICE detention centers. The genocide has already begun. MAGA is the enemy of humanity and must be destroyed.

Keep this story in the news. "Man Detained by ICE Found Dead, Hanging With Hands and Feet Tied—Attorney" www.newsweek.com/ice-detainee...

Rep. Chrissy Houlahan: "The last time we received a briefing on Venezuela with the full committee was never. That is something that should alarm everybody. Congress is supposed to be aware of what intelligence validates and justifies these attacks."

It’s an insult to peace as a concept to call this a “peace plan”.

Mamdani just played Trump without sacrificing immigrants, Muslims, workers, or the LGBTQ. Trump did his transactional charm offensive, Mamdani countered without compromising. He won big and this is the man the Democratic Establishment still won't embrace. What more do people need to see?

Sports gambling is not just corrupting our trust in sports, but America. Thank you to @amanpourcopbs.bsky.social, @michelmartinnpr.bsky.social and @camanpour.bsky.social for the platform. Our full conversation: youtu.be/uiomTi50pS8?...

Hakeem Jeffries was literally voting for a resolution condemning socialism while this meeting was taking place

Gentle reminder that Mount Rushmore was a sacred place to the Lakota and the United States promised they would have it (and the entire Black Hills) in perpetuity as part of a legally binding treaty and then reneged as soon as gold was found,

Congratulations! Trump has become the most disliked president since the end of World War II.

You guys, comparisons to 1930s Germany have lost their utility. Stop looking for similarities and just be here, see what's now. The police don't have to be the gestapo - American policing is already that bad. American immigration enforcement is already that bad. It doesn't need a comparison.

We have the bill AND the bipartisan support to restore union rights for 1 million federal workers! It’s time to get it done. Tell your representatives: pass the Protect America’s Workforce Act! act.aflcio.org/call_campaig...

"Democrats can leverage their advantage on climate to win voters’ trust on what will likely be the most significant issues in 2026 and 2028," writes @aaronregunberg.bsky.social, summarizing a new @dataforprogress.org report. newrepublic.com/article/2033...

I do not think toddlers should be made out of metal. A rant: newrepublic.com/post/203463/...

A lot of people with SNAP literally went off got certifications, got a job that pays above minimum wage and still qualify. CNAs at the largest employer in my city make $11/hr 🙃

The largest outside factor being GOP policy...

would really love it if our elected officials had to publicly define socialism and then explain why they voted against it

Mike Pence wrote an opinion piece for Fox News. Reading the headline, I was like, "Okay, seems like a normal take." Then I read the subheadline and... bro, what?

People still default too often to the fact that Trumps base won’t care about one revelation or another. But as elections keep showing us, the universe of people other than his base is much bigger and we do care. So exposing shit does matter and it’s worth sharing those things so others oppose him.
