I posted this for my handful of friend who hate AI as much as me, did not expect it to go viral, I had the original source noted in the Alt-Text which bluesky just doesn't show?! This wonderful person linked the full video at the Urban Consulate here: bsky.app/profile/prop...

NEW: We obtained 100 gigabytes of data from unlisted websites associated with Canary Mission, revealing their internal workings, employees, and an internal website called BlackNest where the group celebrated its “impacts”— arrests and deportations. www.dropsitenews.com/p/canary-mis...

Reprinting this to expose the screaming lies the White House is pushing regarding January 6. We watched it. We heard eyewitness accounts. This is sloppy, crass propaganda. Desperation born of weakness and a full awareness of the REAL truth.

We all already know ICE never left Chicago, but just to emphasize: several vehicles have been spotted out and about this morning. Unconfirmed (for now) reports of several abductions.

Me, on this day five years ago: "Armed far-right extremists breached the United States Capitol today. … One might call this series of events shocking — but on reviewing the sweep of American politics over the last 10 years, one could just as certainly call it inevitable."

I am once again asking the media to treat it as a huge fucking scandal that the Vice President of the United States has pickled his brain in white supremacist, antisemitic garbage babble

trump did january 6th. republicans did january 6th. violent traitors did january 6th. they stormed the capitol, destroyed the building and threatened to kill members of congress. ashli babbitt was a violent insurrectionist. the capitol police protected people. these are truths we need to repeat.

It's becoming standard procedure across all news media to explicitly not mention in the obituary of a Republican member of congress that they voted on Jan. 6, 2021 to overturn the election

New — I wrote about how corporate media is immediately siding with power in the wake of Trump attacking Venezuela and capturing Maduro, and how journalists need to treat the administration as a hostile entity that’s openly lying to them.

Dr. Janell Green Smith was a midwife and advocate for Black maternal health. She died from childbirth complications. Black women are still far more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes. Our reporting: capitalbnews.org/category/hea...

OPINION by @ericswalwell.bsky.social: “We cannot whitewash history now.” READ MORE: www.ms.now/opinion/jan6...

Ex-NATO General Michel Yakovleff: “If Trump moves on Greenland, Europeans must be ready to fight the US to defend sovereignty.” "We must be ready to fight the US if they threaten European interests."

The US education system teaches that Hitler was a bad foreign leader who the US fought heroically, but does a terrible job of teaching where fascism came from and what the roots of far-right politics are. Hence, once people stop believing in the heroism of the US, belief in Hitler's evil goes, too.

As I read this from Tressie, I couldn't help think about this article that I read this morning. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i... Eugenics is the gift that keeps giving. Inherent in eugenics is the idea that bodies that are not up the standard are to be punished and/or terminated.

@adamlmahoney.bsky.social and @capitalb.bsky.social have consistently been doing some of the best reporting on data centers and environmental racism, btw. If you want to support independent journalism, throw them a couple of dollars if you can

1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts? Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from. Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!

Who was it who joked that the most dangerous place in Washington was standing between Chuck Schumer and a camera crew?

Putin's goal has always been breaking up NATO. In the final months of Regime 1, Mango Mussolini tried to pull off a sizeable reduction of U.S. troops in Germany.

my 75yo mother told me last night that she’s planning to delete Instagram and Facebook because she’s sick of not being able to tell what’s AI and what’s not, and I genuinely don’t think tech companies have reckoned with this kind of move as an actual possibility

Worth remembering that Trump’s 2017 sanctions against Venezuela helped spur outward migration. While Maduro should rightly be held responsible for running to the economy into the ground, Trump helped stomp on its remains. The migrant crisis is partly Trump’s doing. wapo.st/3LrC9Ke

How long before U.S. heath protocols and vaccine schedules start affecting travel? Only a matter of time before traveling with proof of measles vaccine will be required to enter countries that still understand science #scicomm 🧪 #vaccines

I am haunted by the ghosts of Iraq and Afghanistan. Those military operations initially went flawlessly but the problem was in trillions of $ spent, thousands of American lives, decades of lost opportunity. Americans have zero appetite for more nation building, endless quagmires.

briefly popping in to say the reason we aren’t seeing mass movement in response to the united states kidnapping the (dictatorial) leader of a sovereign nation is the same reason why the united states feels emboldened to kidnap the leader of a sovereign nation

Love people from Twitter who don’t realize how quickly we block here. 😇

We're in the middle of another twitter exodus, this means more follow farming accounts seeding sock puppet accounts (re)establishing themselves here. Block early and often. If you have a moment, block some of the followers of those accnts. Seeing many gearing up to pose as "of the left"

Basic gutter misogyny? A woman who thought she could self debase her standing into a secure future within patriarchy but didn't do so "sufficiently" Hint: Nothing is ever enough

One guy tried, unsuccessfully, to blow up a plane with a bomb in his sneakers, and everybody had to take off their shoes at the airport for the next 20 years. Chatbots have a collective body count equal to Richard "The Night Stalker" Ramirez, and they're trying to put them in schools.

kind of darkly funny that "gender studies" is the stereotypical "useless degree" because gender studies will help you understand a large and important chunk of the current psychosis in american life

30 years ago they were like we have to ban song lyrics for the children but it’s full steam ahead for the here’s how to do drugs until you die machine

This. I tend to be a little more cautious w/ my calls scripts, since I want to push for concrete/actionable results immediately. But Republicans have always fixated on a goal, no matter how difficult it was... and look at them now. We could do with more of this.

Oprah-style: You get a disease! And you get a disease!

"what do you expect dems, who have NO POWER, to do???" and then they do this 8 times a month

For those who think impeachment isn't practical good tactics: If a president violates the constitution or breaks the law and you don't impeach, you're ceding that the constitution is void and so is the law. So much for practicality and good tactics.

Another reminder that the assault on scientific funding was broadly unpopular, even within the President's own party

Children will die with RFK Jr.'s new vaccine recommendations. We're NOT doing the "experts disagree" game. The US vaccine schedule was painstakingly constructed through a deep & thorough process by experts with unquestionable expertise. This is policy by fiat. It is pre-meditated murder. 1/

The driver of this policy is a charlatan and fraud. Remember her name: Tracy Beth Hoeg. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Yeah, this is something I don't think enough people talk about: if you're late on a credit card payment or a heating bill because you were paying off a medical bill (something that happens a lot in this country), you're left out of this relief. I wish I had a clear answer for solving this...

Good reminder that the medical debt numbers you see don't include credit card debt taken on to pay a medical bill. The problem is worse than even the grim numbers presented suggest.

Me and Angelina Jolie today, it’s was great meeting you

A non-comprehensive list of things my parents thought were wonderful resources when I was a child, and which they credit for my education and passion about science, that they subsequently voted to dismantle and destroy: * National Parks * PBS * Public libraries * Public schools * NASA

Terrific essay by M. Gessen on how Putin (and those who think like him, like Trump) are winning. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/04/o...

As with many things these days, I'm surprised this isn't getting more news coverage than it is. Corporation for Public Broadcasting to Shut Down After 58 Years Due to Trump Eliminating Funding variety.com/2026/tv/news...

We're in a phase where the same bad actors on twitter try stuff here only to give up when they realize they're being blocked on sight & there is no algorithm that is forcing them into people's feeds Block w/glee & let Bsky get through this phase. I'm seeing more Academic twitter reassemble here.
