Has anyone started a gofundme for the spider yet?

A reminder that the mainstream media willfully refuses to explain what is really going on when it comes to the crusade against abortion: presswatchers.org/2022/06/mass...

Make no mistake, this is effectively a nationwide abortion ban. We’ve lost Roe. We’ve lost abortion in many states. Women are bleeding out in parking lots. Their goal is to have full control over our wombs and they don’t care how many of us die in the process.

The gutting of the voting rights act will lead to "the largest-ever decline in the number of Black representatives on Capitol Hill [ever] — breaking a record set around the end of the post-Civil War Reconstruction era." It's a purge of Black representation. www.npr.org/2026/04/30/n...

it is important to emphasize that this was *the point*. this was *intentional*. elon musk is a vicious white supremacist who thinks poor african children ought to die, so that the world can be whiter

How Long Are We Going To Have To Keep Finding Other Things To Blame

Sickeningly evil. Donald Trump must be impeached.  When will it be enough for my Republican colleagues to grow spines and remove him from office?

A thoughtful article on the vampire in our midst that most people are pretending isn't there:

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

And the sane-washing has already begun. This is the Associated Press take. Fuck this.

Taken literally this is the Times saying it doesn't have an opinion on if women should vote and I for one do take it literally

After the White House complained about an unflattering photo of Karoline Leavitt, it was removed from AFP and Getty’s systems. This is the photo in question. Please do not repost it. 👇

Our current medical establishment seeks to erase the nightmares of 6 years ago and reinforce memories of unpleasant mitigations. However, unfortunately, for them, only they care about lockdowns today and so the MAHA coalition is cracking up. My latest.

“They got money for wars, but can’t feed the poor.” — Tupac said it years ago… and here we are. The Pentagon is now asking for an additional $200 BILLION for this war. We always find the money for war. But when it comes to housing, healthcare, or feeding people? Suddenly it’s crickets.

SB351, SB352 and SB783 will prohibit masked law enforcement, end raids on courthouses, schools and hospitals, and require reforms to ICE before they can cooperate with Virginia law enforcement. Virginians spoke up and demanded this, and we delivered! @acluva.bsky.social @vayd.bsky.social

Man Who Spat on Allies For a Year Demands the World Clean Up His Catastrophe

holy crap, they have learned nothing. "The agent draws on publicly available information from third-party LLMs" Is it publicly available because the third party stole it?

As usual, too many banger quotes to pull just one. AI doesn't work for its advertised abilities but it is great for generating clouds of doubt, semi-plausible deniability, and misdirection. Will we let the LLMs pull triggers? (Has it already happened?)

AI-powered spearphishing (personalized spam/cons/hack attempts) is going to make email ever more dangerous as a mode of communication. I've seen several writers report being attacked this way in the last week. I'm sure it's happening in every art and industry.

The killing of Iranian children during an illegal war is an impeachable offense.

The first casualties of World War Epstein had to be girls.

Republicans are being racist liars about the Virginia redistricting effort. Shouldn't have expected any better from them.

NEW — An obscure Navy contractor program is making Trump’s plans to quickly build out and supply immigrant concentration camps around the country a reality. Here I explain WEXMAC TITUS, an acronym you need to understand:

May those who are observing Ramadan be strengthened in spirit, sustained with patience in moments of hunger and thirst, and surrounded by peace. May this holy month deepen our shared commitment to compassion, service, and care for those in need.

I identified four (4) NBA teams part-owned by a firm that sold a property to the Department of Homeland Security for a planned ICE detention center. And I explain why more owners could follow in the warehouse to megajail business. it's the new [eyeblack]:

Hello, I’m from the government, and I’d like to see what it’s going to take to get you and your community into one of our lovely new ICE immigrant detention facilities! www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...
