So I tried Instagram’s AI photo enhancement tool - and the Caucasity! Hey Meta - don’t fix my face. Fix your structural racism

Farmers vote against workers' interest bc most of us aren't working class. Farmers are business owners. With inherited wealth & property. It's not that hard to figure out! It's not folksy, & it's not "economic anxiety." Most *small family farmers* in the US are millionaires w 6-figure incomes.

1/ Ohio’s November election is a battlefield of "structural entrenchment." These upcoming amendments are being positioned as helpful for families, but forensic analysis reveals a "systems realignment" designed to favor the wealthy and centralize power. 🧵 #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

I’d say this is a ploy by Trump to get his supporters to snap these up (and anti Trump folks to avoid them) and then use them to vote under whatever voter ID bullshit he’s planning

👏Columbus -- Vote YES on Issue 5! The @cbussafety.bsky.social worked with @cbuscitycouncil.bsky.social to reach a historic compromise and bring the Community Crisis Response Amendment before voters in the May primary.

"Billionaire death cult" is truly on target. It's a death cult supported by religious fundamentalisms that tell you its "god's will" that the climate is spinning out of control, supported by an endless supply of soulless ghouls in Congress, and corporations that have no bottom.

"AI data center" moratoriums are not the way. They risk pushing burdens to places with less regulation, and driving up the price of compute, which will worsen inequality. jacobin.com/2026/04/ai-d...

We’ve become way too inured to the constant violence because of all of the people in power who revel in it. What a joyless, artless, sexless, rudderless country we became so fast.

6/ Vince Hutchings tells us that racial animus is not the reason for racial bias, interest in maintaining a racial hierarchy is. The forces fighting to save the union and the forces fighting for racial justice are not the same—they weren’t during reconstruction—if they were, we wouldn’t be here now.

Fuck these assholes

“We just want to undo democracy with arguments about how wealth should be able to purchase any service to crush anyone not of the super rich with their full participation in the system of destroying themselves” version 9,811

This is the top thing I’m looking for - mostly because I’m not hearing about it from anyone.

Palantir put out a 22-point summary of their CEO's book The Technological Republic. It's pitched as a defence of the West, but if you read it through the VDA framework, verification, deliberation, accountability, what it's actually doing looks rather different. twitter-thread.com/t/2045574398...

Here it is live. What a time.

And woe to those who manipulate the truth and freedom, and the very ideals of our civil and democratic natures, for their own military, economic, and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth. Pope Bob nails it 💪

no we don't need to revisit just war theory just because some fake hillbilly from central ohio has been elevated way the fuck beyond his station

Holy shit, they’re listening.

So when the Antichrist is revealed, are Christians supposed to do anything? Asking for a friend

the Democrat who wins will be the one vibrating with desire to drive the MAGAs before them into the snow and cold, unheeding of their piggy little squeals for mercy

Magyar's no mercy approach needs to be used in the US Trump will pardon everyone for everything he can-including himself But pardons don't cover state crimes. And despite the SCOTUS immunity decision, there are still ways to prosecute him We cannot repeat the failures of the Biden administration

Fuck this corruption 🤬

we will have to see how well he follows through but so far the rhetoric from Magyar is a pitch perfect model for what we need from the next Dem administration no mercy, no reconciliation

On a more serious note, this does show the necessity of a big-tent single-issue pro-democracy coalition. Autocrats lose when anti-authoritarianism is the opposition-uniting priority, and win when they can play divide and conquer on lesser issues.

Let’s goooooo Tisza - and democracy!! 🇭🇺❤️🇭🇺❤️🇭🇺 www.reuters.com/world/hungar...

The moment

No no no you see it’s only illegal because he’s not profiting from it

Oh, then, so this was all for show. What joke - like you open talks with a regime you’ve been at war with for 50 years and then you’re like oh whoops won’t happen and go home

But the core truth remains. You cannot have what works without the attending toxins. They are inextricable. As ever, my primary contention is that the technology is destructive to the fabric of human society, and on those grounds should we make our stand.

Always exciting to see the Avignon Papacy in the news

Shortly after I read about the toll idea last night, I said to myself - hold on, something stinks here. My theory was that Trump went to the IRGC and said, You’re thinking about this all wrong. We can make money. Shut up and do this. And here it is. Holding the world hostage.

Trump is a pussy ass bitch. “A whole civilization” - shut up, you bloated fuck.

Good one - lots of insights www.nytimes.com/2026/04/06/m...

Given Trump’s Easter threats to carry out new war crimes in Iran, we should think one or two steps ahead about a coup attempt connected to the war. And then deter it. (1/17)

It’s like Trump never happened - a weird brief break in these crappy times, celebrating something that doesn’t include him and that he hasn’t been able to screw up

It's Trans Day of Visibility today. If you're trans and are raising money for something (I don't care what it is), reply to this thread and I will boost you. If you are a cis person, take a look and find someone to support if you can. Everyone give this a share after.

It’s so calming to read something so straightforward and real, written in such a clear, moral voice.

Levin: This is the largest protest in Minnesota history… The next major national action of this movement is not just gonna be another protest. On May 1st, across the country, we are saying no business as usual. No work, no school, no shopping.

I know I've recommended this before

i don’t know exactly how to articulate it but like, we’re absolutely at war yet it doesn’t feel like it because the people leading it are so fucking stupid so the typical climate of seriousness is missing? if that makes sense?

Had no idea there was a defined concept of nihilistic violent extremism, not that there were such clear online networks of abuse victims turned abusers. This is really sad and really scary - and I’m afraid it’s all going to be seen as collateral damage from the tech takeover of the world

OSU: Strauss wrestling scandal, caving on DEI, Wexner Wexner Wexner, and now this geez louise

🚨🚨🚨“Bahrain said an Iranian drone attacked a water desalination plant, marking the first time an Arab country has reported Iran targeting any such facility during the 8 days of the war. This comes after Iranian authorities said the US targeted Iran’s desalination plant on the island of Qeshm.”🚨🚨🚨

Miami Redhawks perfect season win over Ohio in Athens 31-0! 😱🤯😅

Trump on Rubio: He's doing some job and your next one, Cuba. We can do them all at the same time but bad things happen, if you watch countries that do them all too fast, bad things happen.

It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist. He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.
