Hey, @nfrykman.bsky.social. My first thought is, “Haven’t USCG and USN interdicted commercial vessels of pariah states since forever?” closely followed by, “I’m sure Nik knows.” Maybe the FBI press release or cooperation with the FBI and DHS are irregular, but is this unusual otherwise?

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion. As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

I wrote a little about some of the little details you might have missed in this video and why it hit me so hard as a trans person this morning: www.burnsnotice.com/you-have-to-...

As I was saying…

Btw, this was JD Vance just a few months ago back in February of this year🙃

Disney / Hulu’s cancellation survey doesn’t have an option for “I’m boycotting you for your craven capitulation to fascism.“

It is the job of the Democratic party to sell and defend the policies that most Democratic voters want, not to present a candidate slate that is palatable to moderate Republicans who might switch if they hate their own candidate enough.

hey @bsky.app - explain why opinions (which I may or may not agree with) get zapped but this inflammatory garbage is still up?

Age verification? I watched a coin op tv that was bolted to the arm of a chair in a Greyhound bus station.

Dress it up with some nice throw pillows and an afghan, maybe?

NEW: Kilmar Abrego Garcia says the DOJ and DHS are conspiring to threaten to deport him to Uganda in an attempt to coerce him to plead guilty and instead be deported to Costa Rica after serving his sentence. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

ok so the times witnessed reporters receiving cash from Adams people three times at mayoral events and sat on it for over a month but couldn’t pass up a hot tip from a neonazi about Mamdani’s unsuccessful college application for long enough to check if the neonazi had already been identified

The really crazy thing that happened next was France forced Haiti to pay reparations for liberating themselves. The financing shackled the nation with crippling debt that lasted from 1825 to 1947. Remember this whenever someone mentions Haitian poverty. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haitian...

I'm Jewish and I think about antisemitism all the time. I can't tell you how fucking weird it is that Homeland Security posting literal neo-Nazi propaganda generates less discussion about the threat to Jews than a mayoral candidate who believes Palestinians are human beings.

It didn’t pass. They voted to begin debating the bill.

Oh yeah nice one kid hook that hope for humanity right into my veins

Did you know that you can set up a reminder to add alt text? Alt text helps vision impaired posters understand images. Go to Settings, then Accessibility, and make sure "Require alt text before posting" is toggled on - this will prompt you each time you add an image to your post!

A key difference here is that while either can be incorrect, the structure of Wikipedia *creates context* and the structure of LLMs *destroys context* Wikipedia has linked sources and an edit history showing where information came from and who added it when An LLM just generates text

I've been shown what purports to be a draft version of a soon to be released Executive Order reorganizing the State Dept. The chain of custody is a bit indirect and it's important to be clear that there can be many versions of such orders circulating and they can be subject to subsequent edits etc.

This is Kiril Illiashenko. He saved many lives today. 13 year old Kirill was on a bus today with his mom Maryna. After the Russian missile strike, the bus caught fire. The explosion blocked the bus doors. Many people were killed and injured on the spot⤵️

What is taught to senior military leaders at our nation’s War Colleges is that a nation’s power emanates from four areas: -Strength of diplomacy -Strength of economy -Strength of its military -Strength of truthful public information. All combine to determine power on the global stage.

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did.

@domsisti.bsky.social @nyulangone.bsky.social Given the many gendered dimensions of the case (a woman’s right to choose is obliterated as her husband and parents battle over her health outcomes and right to live or die) is it *ethical* to discuss the Terri Schiavo case without input from women?

@mississippifreepress.org I’ll subscribe if you get Sens. Cindy Hyde-Smith or Roger Wicker on record saying whether, in light of the numerous legal and operational issues raised by the Signal scandal, they now regret supporting Pete Hegseth’s nomination and why or why not.

A quick reminder. These 50 Republican Senators voted to confirm the clearly unqualified, unserious, and alcoholic media personality Pete Hegseth to one of the most sensitive and important positions in our nation. YEAs ---50 Banks (R-IN) Barrasso (R-WY) Blackburn (R-TN) Boozman (R-AR) Britt (R-AL)

More to the point, “Thank you” was ***the very. first. thing*** Zelenskyy said in his opening remarks at the Oval. “Thank you so much, Mr. President. Thank you for your invitation…”

I just signed in to Disney+ on an Hisense tv running Android and found this pop up. There’s no way to click OK or to dismiss it. It also blocks my view of the new subscriber agreement I’m supposed to read and agree to. @disneyplushelp.bsky.social @hisensetv.bsky.social @googletv.bsky.social

God bless and protect California in the years ahead

During the Iran hostage crisis all the nightly news programs led with, “It’s day ___ of the Iran hostage crisis…” My parents listened to All Things Considered on NPR and I vividly remember asking them to explain all those words to me, why it was happening, etc. I was 5.

People celebrating Luigi Mangione, the health care CEO assassin, need to understand that vigilante killings are not celebrated or in any way condoned in the United States. We are a civilized country that values the lives of its citizens.

#OtD 9 Dec 1984 Mexican revolutionary, Amelio Robles Ávila, died aged 95. Assigned female at birth, he later lived as a man, joining Zapata's army, taking part in battles, extorting capitalists and threatening those who misgendered him. Learn more: www.tiktok.com/@workingclassh...

I don't know who needs to know this, but Pro Publica has an online thing that will format a letter to your US health insurance company to demand the records behind a claim denial. (which the insurance is then legally required to provide in most cases) projects.propublica.org/claimfile/

Russian trolls and their Useful Idiots say Ukrainian defenders using supplied weapons to strike military and strategic targets is a "provocation" and will "start World War III." They call Russians attacking civilians a "response" and want us to ignore that this is a war crime.
