The easiest thing for Democrats to do would be to stop confirming Trump judges, but they can’t even be bothered to do that. Just failure all the way down. I really hate these people.

When anyone says the Olympics are good for building community unity, remember that—among all the other bad things—trans athletes are getting thrown to the wolves!

University of Alabama suspended publication of two student-run magazines, claiming they weren’t in compliance with federal guidance on DEI “This is an attack on the student press and nothing less”

SCOOP: The United States Tennis Association (USTA) quietly updated its player eligibility policy to ban trans women from competing as women in their leagues, tournaments and competitions in order to comply with Trump's anti-trans sports executive order. The policy went into effect on Monday.

The CEOs of both Ford and Stellantis, who are there to celebrate the rollback of vehicle emissions standards (which will drive climate change), are standing right behind Trump as he makes these racist comments.

Last week @theverge.com published my essay exploring the limitations of large-language models. This week, that same essay is cited by a federal judge in Michigan to distinguish the process of human reasoning from what these models do. Very, very gratifying.

In the case of KitKat, Waymo claimed that KitKat ran out in front of the car, despite the claims of eye witnesses. bayareacurrent.com/fuck-waymo-l...

Waymo said “Unfortunately, a Waymo vehicle made contact with a small, unleashed dog in the roadway." MADE CONTACT WITH A SMALL, _UNLEASHED_ DOG. These companies have an absolute allergy to accountability.

My Fair Work Week law requires fast-food restaurants to give workers stable schedules & pathways to F/T jobs. Starbucks has cheated 15,000 baristas—now they have to pay up. Props @sbworkersunited.org & @hellodcwp.bsky.social for the biggest workers’ right enforcement action in NYC history.

a lot of people debating the merits of that dogshit essay meanwhile the girl’s mom is retweeting demands to ban all trans people from teaching at any level. it’s forest for the trees shit

Reminder that Tim Sweeney has been at the forefront of every failed tech hype bubble of the last decade. NFTs, crypto, the Metaverse ... right on the barricades, our Tim. But I'm sure this time will be different.

Black Friday demo @ Apple Store in NYC: Earlier today, activists unfurled banners and called on Apple customers to skip buying new tech this year, noting the gear they’re ogling is made from minerals mined with child & slave labor. They also pointed out Apple’s subservience/contributions to Trump.

And liberals want to make it about when he got asylum? As if that doesn't play right into Miller's narrative? This is a consequence of a bipartisan military complex and addiction to brutality. Grow up.

The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

MAJOR: The Trump Administration has been caught lying about the D.C. shooting suspect. The truth: He was vetted by Trump. He had a CIA badge, worked with the CIA in Afghanistan, and granted asylum by Trump in April. Spread this everywhere. Subscribe to support my work, even on Thanksgiving:

Labor gaining just the tiniest amount of power relative to capital a few years back absolutely broke employers' brains

As someone in software the only benefit to LLMs I see is it will slowly destroy the pool of people with actual expertise in building and running software making me more valuable.

NATIONAL CALL: Learn to Replicate the "Scrape ICE Out of Home Depot" Action - www.mobilize.us/ndlon/event/... - tomorrow 11/25 at 5pm/PT 8pm ET

www.instagram.com/reel/DQmPawh... What a fascinating case study. Meta Raybans ad where the person explicitly says that she needs a real person (implicitly: not AI) to walk her through kimchi making instructions, though still hints at AI features like voice commands (girl only has one unnie?)

….who asked for the National Special Security Event designation a record 4.5 years early? You’ve ensured our community will be subjected to the feds for at least the next 3 years.

Everyone Kidnapped by ICE and Border Patrol In Southern California Since August lataco.com/everyone-kid...

In local and state elections, Zionist lobby groups are throwing heavy cash at their political mouthpieces. The full story: lataco.com/gomez-accept... By @abemarquez.bsky.social

This LAPD helicopter has spent 5hrs doing this today.

LAPD wants $20 million to buy two replacement helicopters next fiscal year. They cost $48 million a year to fly and maintain, yet there’s little evidence they’re effective at reducing crime. They are effective at being a nuisance!

The problem with this is that it obfuscates the purpose of CicLAvia, which is to imagine and think about a future that does not require cars clogging every single city block. Instead, it just feels like... a Stranger Things event.

"challenge scientific orthodoxy" is an absurdly irresponsible way to frame medical misinformation that will kill children

J6er Jake Lang got punched yesterday in Dearborn, Michigan during his anti-Muslim march.

The federal immigration raids are STILL happening in LA. National media might've moved on, but we're not. Support LA Public Press. 💪 givebutter.com/journalism2025

Support baristas by signing our No Contract No Coffee pledge! nocontractnocoffee.org

Baristas are locking arms in front of lines of trucks. This distribution center is Starbucks’ largest on the East Coast, which is why we’re showing up to send a message. We're ready to continue escalating our ULP strike until Starbucks does the right thing. #NoContractNoCoffee

I think the word you’re looking for is “kept”

Engagement on our updates re: ICE kidnappings/fed siege of Los Angeles is significantly lower on Bluesky compared to Twitter. Do ppl on here not care about LA anymore? Are feeds being taken over by liberal commentators? What's going on? Community members on the ground can't do it all. We need help.

People have largely tried to act like ICE/CBP failed and retreated from LA and that is completely untrue. If it weren’t for the relentless coverage of places like @lataco.bsky.social these stories would be completely under the radar.

DAILY MEMO: Over 50 Arrested in Record Raids: Baby, Pregnant Mom, Gardeners, Sons, Elderly, Vendors, Unhoused In Last Two Days Full report: lataco.com/daily-memo-o...

The feds are escalating in Los Angeles. We've seen record high kidnappings and our communities are under attack. The media focus on LA has died down so electeds don't feel the need to even feign opposition. People are out here fighting. We need all of us. Join the struggle. Defend your neighbors.

It was such a significant moment I had to write about it. This was more than just a quick pan across his luxury box. Right as Senate Democrats were caving to a cowardly deal to reopen the government, Fox Sports literally gave Trump the microphone to spin a counter-narrative

The question about whether or not U.S. broadcasters are going to be manipulated by this administration is no longer hypothetical. And now we have a country run by "the greatest champion for sports of any president in American history" that's about to host the world's most-watched megaevents

Union-busting has got to go! Solidarity with Starbucks @sbworkersunited.org baristas at corporate stores across the country as they fight for a fair contract ✊

If you want to attend the meeting or follow along online, you can find the agenda here: lacity.primegov.com/Portal/Meeti... You can also submit written comment at LACouncilComment.com - The Council File # is 23-1134

On Wednesday, City Council is considering a new formula for allowable rent increases in rent controlled units: Cap rent increases at 3% (it’s currently 8%) No more 1-2% increases if landlord pays utilities No more 10% increase if a child or dependent moves in

Employees documented abuse and filth at LA tiny home villages. Officials did next to nothing. More than 550 incident reports detail assaults, drug use, unsanitary conditions and more across a dozen villages designed to shelter and support unhoused people.

Stop overhyping AI, scientists tell von der Leyen

What is the argument for voting for Democrats for harm reduction if the harm is not fucking reduced

Most of y’all are old enough to remember but it bears repeating, Democrats couldn’t peel off a single member of the Republican caucus in the initial fight to enact the ACA, even after they watered down the plans to attract them. Republicans got 8 Democrats in what’s essentially a vote to repeal.

The centrists in the Senate Democratic caucus saw that the country was rallying to the party in the 2025 elections and resolved that they would do anything they could to kill that momentum.

I threatened to sue UCLA for taking over a year to release records related to the school’s response to the Palestinian solidarity camp. They provided me with arrest records (already public) and photos of the encampment the day after it was swept. Total BS. (I redacted the PII on the arrest log)
