I somehow had missed this news, but this is huge and wonderful news in the midst of so much bad stuff. Alaa being freed is great...

🚨 With Democrat Adelita Grijalva's win in the Arizona House special election, Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie's petition to force a vote on releasing the Epstein Files will cross the 218 vote threshold. 4 Republicans will have joined 214 Democrats to make it happen.

this insane space plutocrat was in charge of the whole government for like six months, probably killed a lot of people worldwide, compromised essentially everyone’s security, and made everything infinitely shoddier but no less expensive. And he is the guy who’s supposed to take us back to the moon.

the thing is she isn’t kidding and she chose to marry him anyway in case you have ever been tempted to feel sympathy for her being married to that man they met and bonded over family separation in Trump 1.0, she’s just as evil as he is

researching a maritime disaster in 2025: Option A: 350 word article by someone from politics beat Option B: 60 min netflix docu with 45 min of unsubstantiated vibes Option C: some rando YTer called Brick Immortar who has a 4 hr breakdown with all court docs & interviews with every survivor

…And in this example we have a major corporation pulling a show because it might too overtly criticize self-avowed white supremacist terror networks.

The story of President Trump showing himself to be filled with “hate” was placed on page A-33 where he wouldn’t notice.

Bullying works

It's hard to overstate how much the online far right HATES women. Ever seen a realistic photoshop of your own head, severed, dangling from a meat hook? I have!

A spray-painted bronze statue titled “Best Friends Forever” showing President Trump and Jeffrey Epstein holding hands was placed on the National Mall in front of the U.S. Capitol early Tuesday. https://wapo.st/42Dy5vU

The FTC has made a de facto rule that failing to prevent users from sharing even a single instance of CSAM or non-consensual intimate material is an unfair practice. This is, Commissioner Meador said, just the "first step" in the war on "porn" (inc. trans health content) promised by Project 2025

An actual good way to disperse your excess cash instead of buying me weird saddles is to help out my friend and brother Mohamed, who is trying to keep his family alive in Al Mawasi camp in Gaza. If you've got a couple dollars to share with with him I'd be grateful. chuffed.org/project/help...

Q: Do you support defund the police A: No Q: Do you support defunding the police A: Yes

Another nice round number - but can we make it to 666 next and in time???

the fact that so many people frame autism as “a problem that needs to be solved” is a constant reminder that being “not normal” isn’t acceptable to a large amount of the world. it’s the same reason there’s a trans panic right now too. they think people are defective

"lol the supreme court is always going to rule for donald trump" is the "orange man bad" of legal analysis simple, boring, has a better track record than literally every attempt at more complex analysis

regardless of the details I think it’s important to spin the Kimmel thing as a win Trump is weak, he’s unpopular, he massively overreached and inspired enough of a revolt that Disney had to backtrack immediately he wants to paint himself as an all-powerful dictator, paint him as a loser who sucks

Why are the American president's claims about autism the first item on British news bulletins? He's not our president, the advice doesn't apply here and he's not presented any evidence to support his assertions. So why spread these claims? What make this the biggest story in the UK?

🇵🇸 Gaza update: At least 46 killed in Israeli attacks today, including over 30 in Gaza City. Three hospitals in Gaza City were forced to shut down — among them the Jordanian Field Hospital in Tal al-Hawa, and Rantisi Children’s Hospital- the only pediatric facility in northern Gaza.

BREAKING: 11 West Africans deported by U.S. to Ghana were sent to their home countries despite safety concerns, their lawyer says.

Think my parents hate me and are going to be making life even more of a living hell for me financially so anything you have to give would be greatly appreciated. Augh I'm really not doing well gang ko-fi.com/starbryte

is this not just kidnapping?

people love winning and winning breeds winning.

If I sounded a bit salty this past week, I have to say. I spent years monitoring Proud Boys who thought Charlie Kirk was just the bees' knees. Watching the liberal media establishment treat him like some free speech hero has fully driven me over some internal cliff that I did not even know existed

It's impossible to overstate how problematic it is for the White House to demand payouts or company stakes in the course of approving deals, hand-selecting acquirers, demanding corporate compliance or anything else.

One of my favorite fun facts is why the TMNT are named after artists (it’s because the type of turtle they are is a “painted turtle”). I told my nephew about this and he immediately replied that there should be a Bob Ross turtle. So rather than explain the renaissance movement to him, I-

google has been trying for months to build a new data center not far from my house. tonight was the final city council meeting and they officially withdrew their proposal! the data center isn’t moving forward! public outrage works!!!

Here's my personal highlight from "I'm Not a Robot":

The whole administration in one quote

Everyone should just keep boycotting Disney. Sinclair is a rotten company filtering right-wing propaganda through local news channels for years. That Disney even partnered with them is reason enough to boycott them until they sever their relationship with Sinclair entirely.

Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station. List here: sbgi.net/tv-stations/

They’re only going after Tylenol because the president of the United States can’t say acetaminophen. 🤦‍♂️

Trump's Executive Order on Antifa is written such that someone recording masked agents snatching people off the streets, or asking these agents what they're doing, can be deemed a "terrorist."

Please join me in supporting Austin and co’s excellent project to get people in Atlanta out of medical debt. Can we get to $7000 by end of day?? I’ll bet we can! I love Atlanta and it would awesome to give some people there a bit of relief and happiness. Even a little bit helps.

Gaza now

Their tough guy act sure seems to disappear anytime the rest of us stick together and tell them to get fucked.

Was gonna say we should keep boycotting Disney anyway because they've done a ton of heinous shit but if you don't care about that then maybe consider the planned price hike.

I’m glad Jimmy’s back. But Brendan Carr still needs to resign. www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/j...

The answer may not surprise you! Because it’s yes

So libertarian policies have destroyed Argentina and we are go no to bail them out because our government wants to prove that those policies work. Because they’re doing them here. So, we get a preview of our future.

i don't profess to understand too much of this stuff but does it seem like they're just cycling the money back and forth here to keep the scam going

In other words dont let the Uber fascism of MAGA confuse you about the real and ongoing historical role of Disney in American society and rhe development of modern capitalism. Instead, read The Extended Universe (lmao)

Lenin Riefenstahl had a scheduled visit to Hollywood, but the Nazis did Kristallnacht the week befofe her trip, so everyone boycotted her EXCEPT WALT, who gave her a whole day long tour of his studio (although he wouldn't show her new work because the projectionists might realize what was happening)

Last week yall did a lot of doomering on this website, lets make a plan together to not let the fascists dictate the tenor of our feelings or the content of our discussions by simply saying something scary. This week lets don't afraid and set an example of courage for ourselves and our communities

not enough money to protect Ukraine's democracy but plenty to bail out this crypto dork after he tanked his economy

This is strangling the Venezuelan economy and people through straight up murder and everyone involved with it needs long prison sentences

FUCK IT!!!!! TIMELINE CLEANSE!!!!! ROLL THE CLIP!!!!!!

What are the names of the U.S. Navy officers carrying out these orders to serially bomb civilian boats that pose no threat to their own vessels, killing everyone aboard? Surely they’ll want to take personal credit for this honorable service and perhaps wear a little campaign medal on their chest.

This is a great piece, shows not only how games are an intrinsic part of our cultures but also how you can use them to tell wider stories. Excellent stuff

That the guy who runs the Yookay Aesthetics account on twitter is actually Lebanese is further evidence that even when it comes to racism, immigrants still far outshine their white contemporaries
