we're getting all the downsides of cyberpunk (social alienation, ruthless hyper capitalism, digital mass surveillance state) but none of the promised upsides (cheap street food, cool jackets, super drugs that make you really fast and strong before they kill you)

@lewisgoodall.com @maitlis.bsky.social just listening to the latest podcast and was wondering why you didn't mention that protesters walked Jake Lang back to his hotel?

The Government is planning to send King Charles to the US to celebrate with Trump. Giving him a royal visit right now sends a terrible message that his behaviour is acceptable. We can stop this if enough of us speak up. Will you add your name to the petition? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ca...

🚨WHOA. The El Paso Medical Examiner says it will rule the death of a 55-year-old Cuban man at ICE's "Camp East Montana" tent camp as a homicide. He was allegedly choked to death by a guard during a "struggle" after he refused to enter a housing unit without his medications.

Are we?

Journalists and Journalism in America seems to be dying on a daily basis. I know there are still some solid, investigative ones and they're trying their best. But this current crop are just awful. Silence for access, scared of being called names by the president or his minions.

It's a bit rich that one of the most popular Disney shows has been Andor, the one about fighting a fascist and authoritarian regime

korean reporting is nightmarish on the conditions Korean workers were contained in

People missing an important point about folks getting fired for whatever they said about Charlie Kirk: Americans are being conditioned to be snitches on their fellow citizens who don’t toe a party line on what is “allowed” to be expressed. And employers are going along. It’s the new secret police

I have never seen so many public servants protest the mismanagement of a government. Trumpists will point to this as proof of the deep state, but the reality is that these are professionals who are desperately trying to get the public to understand how bad things are.

Anyone from the US, are you aware of this happening, has it been reported in the US?

If you want to put back statues and memorials and names of Confederate traitors while tearing down museum exhibitions on slavery because they don't show the greatness of the nation... the nation whose history you're celebrating is whiteness. The kind of nationalist you are is a white nationalist.

So the IDF massacred more Gazans, the UK and other countries sign a letter to condemn it, but we're arresting an 81 year old for saying we need action in Palestine? Starmer and Suella Cooper can fuck right off.

hey remember when a rich ceo died then when they caught the suspect they made a circus of it like they found osama bin laden and charged him with terrorism but less than weeks ago two democrat lawmakers and their spouses were shot as literal assassination to shift control and everyone already forgot

I know I've said this before, but if it's hot where you are and you're having trouble getting to sleep, do NOT leave a window open. There are reports of guys dressed up as killer clowns and they're climbing through windows to slash your face.

Imagine a Democrat calling for the deportation of a Jewish Republican. You can’t. It would never happen. Our political and media elites talk nonstop about antisemitism while totally normalizing and amplifying the worst and most vicious Islamophobia. Sickening:

Hey everyone, just a reminder: A little more than a week ago, a Republican terrorist killed two people and injured two more in an effort to kill enough democrats to capture the Minnesota Legislature

So Supreme Leader invades US cities to deflect from the social destruction his immigration policy and big, beautiful bill are causing and then starts a war to deflect from invading US cities. God help us all with his next move.

Farage and the US Religious Right are celebrating policy wins here - and there's been a huge rise in prosecutions for abortion. Please email your MP and ask them to support Stella Creasy's amendment to decriminalise abortion; we've made it so easy for you. action.goodlawproject.org/decriminalis...

So when are we going to talk about the possibility that a lot of the “federal agents” in masks could be paramilitary goons and that authoritarianism inevitably partners law enforcement with extremist street gangs?

@jonsopel1.bsky.social @maitlis.bsky.social Listening to the Newsagents America podcast and the interview with Bryan Lanza, twice he said gas and egg prices were lower now than when Trump took office. No pushback at all. Please, please ,please pushback on lies

Overseeing the presidential gift rules was among my duties as White House Ethics Czar -- so I know how it's supposed to work The gift of this plane to Trump is illegal & unconstitutional The AG & the WH Counsel oughtta be ashamed of themselves for allowing it abcnews.go.com/Politics/tru...

Notice that literally every panic about trans people in women’s bathrooms ends with a man either forcing his way into a bathroom and demanding a woman prove their gender or men passing laws to control women’s spaces. The point is to expand patriarchal control over women. Period. End of story.

Hi Bluesky, could really use your help 🙏🙏 We just launched our latest game Starless Abyss - the exact week that Oblivion was shadow-dropped.

How could a slavery scandal involving the President of the United States be worse than we thought? This extremely long, extremely detailed, and fully sourced PROOF report explains. This—not the tariff war—is the most important story in America right now. I hope you will consider checking it out.

I'm sorry, but isn't this just the Cultural Revolution 2.0? Why on earth would fired aid workers and NIH medical researchers go to work on assembly lines for worse salaries in jobs they don't know how to do? Why are they getting their economic policy from Mao?

So the administration ADMITS it mistakenly arrested and sent a father to El Salvador, but then can’t right the wrong because, well, he’s in El Salvador? Is this right?
