Help out with this if you can- I was in a similar situation a few years ago (I won easily dw) it can get pretty costly upfront!

I kno, I know, but I do recommend Americans to still make their calls. Yes, I know this is stressing some of them out, but if KOSA or any of those harmful bills pass House, then it's game over, as there's more support for them than in the House. Do your calls, even lots of them daily.

This is a very divided vote. It means we've been encouraging dissent. It now goes to the full committee. Please keep calling and urging your reps to reject it

nicht die copyright fans die jetzt von fucking disney enttäuscht sind fell for it again award

frankly accounts like the ones in the screenshot scream AI to me. very templated posting that doesn't even make sense to what they're responding to. bots aren't just a twt problem either bsky is *loaded* with them

'look at this white man mad at the democrats deliberately faceplanting for the 1000th time in a row' ignores all the other people who are mad at the democrats for deliberately faceplanting for the 1000th time in a row, also. which i deem Problematic

mainstream liberal parties like the democrats are partners to their conservative colleagues in maintaining a misogynist/white supremacist system, & it is always odd when you see criticism of that system misread as what it is actually criticizing. it is 'mediocre white man' to not love chuck schumer

W Bush is and was a Christian fundamentalist fascist and he's less hostile to immigrants than any prominent Democrat. That doesn't make Bush better it just makes all of us worse.

It makes me mad when liberals pretend to give a shit because they don't and they're not fooling us but they SWEAR they care - but when pushed at all, they have politics that would have made the W Bush administration seem like a set of progressive Democrats. No wonder they welcomed him back so warmly

lil cuck shumer wants you and your whole family to die to free up a handful more resources for the "moderate" suburban republicans he unconditionally loves because they remind him of his fucking centrist tulpa couple 💗

huge thank you to our brave resistance democrats for throwing away all their leverage during the shutdown in exchange for this vote they knew would fail, heckuva job guys!

Something I have to reiterate is that you are being straight up lied to about trans people and our healthcare on an unfathomable scale, this instance reporting is already being torn to shreds by other people commenting, but the frequency of this kind of reporting is astonishing, it's neverending.

In the UK I can’t even read DMs unless I give them my passport and a video of my face. This happened almost overnight! Don’t take this for granted, America!

They never really expected the vote for healthcare to happen, they just wanted an easy PR out from ending the shutdown. Because gods forbid they don't have their vacations because the plebes want to fight for their healthcare.

Funny how all the people that told the dems that flipped that this would happen were, once again, right. It's almost like the dems in the senate are either spineless cowards or collaborationists.

The feds will simply not let this go. Since half of their so-called victims of communism are just Nazis, they'll no longer display the names. “The Wall of Remembrance will now solely feature thematic content that conveys the broader commemorative and educational intent of the Memorial.”

The main thing the HORSES discourse has made me think is that no self-respecting Italian should be forced to abide by the decency standards of the American media landscape

Kneecap waving a flag thrown onto the stage at a gig is terrorism, heavily reported in Britain and debated in the Commons. Loyalists putting * live pipe bombs * on people's cars to terrorise a sport club into shutting down is not terrorism, and ignored in Britain. And he'll only do 18 months.

Hegseth: get owned libs. AI is a conservative thing, be amazed at how much we use AI, which Trump and I love, to blow up foreign citizens and plan to invade greenland PR and Marketing at Microsoft:

AI becoming attached at the hip to the most unpopular president in american history right as the bubble prepares to pop is just lol

really do wish shit would stop burning down

Now it's 072 Project facing payment processor issues "Our international credit card payment gateway on the 072 Project Official Website is currently temporarily unavailable. Due to the complex nature of this issue, the resolution time is expected to be longer than usual."

KF is the final boss of 'isn't there someone you forgot to ask' and people keep acting like that's a mistake the people who run it made instead of the entire thing it exists to be. disgraceful and buffoonish

internet mob justice is part of a family of tools whose sole purpose is to ensure the murder continues until the government is done. if that is not your purpose, look for what you want from it elsewhere.

it's extremely effective at neutralizing threats to clique/cult leadership, and at holding over mid-rankers in a cult as an implicit threat for stepping out of line, a stick to go with the carrot. it can't do justice. that's not what it's for.

it can't do safety. that's not what it's for. it can't do liberation, can't do stability, can't do peace. it grew out of harassing Black and indigenous radicals for stepping out of line about the structural, systemic racism of the welfare state era, for stepping out line against imperialist warfare

and it's those who don't need to stick out in the world to live. that's who survives KF, that's who survives stalker subreddits, that's who survives anonymous letters urging them to kill themselves every day

the people who survive COINTELPRO and its little brothers are not those who have the kindest things to say, or the least to hide. it's those who don't need to do much to convince a handful of people to kill or die for them

it is designed to be effective rather than just. it is more or less impotent against people who fit a specific profile (well-connected, personally eloquent, somewhat schizoaffective, ideally rich) and ludicrously effective against others

the vigilante mode of justice practiced by the internet is intolerably indebted to the ways in which the us alphabets stalk, harass, and isolate people, because in general it was picked up both from those intelligence services directly & from others who did, most notably several big-in-cali cults

everything is computer and also the computer says you're subhuman biofuel

"rape capital" no one's even close to beating the US in the rape and capital departments tbh

This was always the end goal of AI implementation “machine says no” and “machine says you’re the suspect” and “machine sets the price” and “machine says you have to die”, the apotheosis of inhuman market logic to an unquestionable inhuman and inhumane authority, thanks for reading

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a cancer vaccine that has shown STUNNING results, PREVENTING up to 88% of MULTIPLE aggressive cancers by harnessing dual-pathway nanoparticles that train the immune system to recognize and destroy tumor cells. In some cases, it COMPLETELY prevented metastasis.

there are so many libs who would probably be satisfied with limiting ice actions to poor neighborhoods (away from campus) and siccing palantir's AI on university students' coursework to preemptively weed out the problematic students before they are inspired to take collective action against zionism

The AIDS crisis, the Iran Contra affair, the unconditional support of Rios Montt's genocide of the Maya, the failed "STAR WARS" laser DOD program, should I keep going?

Weird to draw attention to gender presentation over *checks notes* Defending Reagan

Gay men were murdered at astonishing rates under Reagan, as were Maya men and boys under Rios Montt, and Palestinian men and boys murdered by the zionists. This is a non sequitur to ignore the fundamental rot that led us to the current political moment.

i will probably keep saying some variation of this because its inevitably going to happen but dems campaigning on “reform ice” need to be met with the same reaction as a someone asking if they can kick your child in the head

Draw your kinks y’all. Your dirty, nasty kinks that so called normal society will look down on you for. Because it doesn’t matter. Because drawing any porn is distasteful to them. You could draw the most basic missionary crap and they’ll still want to hang you. Be free. Be a lil weird. Be loved.

Next week the House E&C Committee is looking to run something of a shock and awe campaign, debating at least 19 bills that they say are related to "protecting kids online." Most of which are actually about censorship and control. Don't buy the framing. It's always the same damn thing.

We can still win this, kosa is EXTREMELY unpopular, and it's lost several times before. But we can't take the chance that it'll fail again, we really do just have to keep telling them fuck no.

This is DEFCON 1 priority, y'all. Call your senators, reps, call your friends and tell them to call their senators and reps about this. Call your grandma and tell her to call her senators and reps about this. What we have here will be *gone* if these bills pass.

the original version of this post says "wonderful news for your penis" which is so load-bearingly crucial in my mind. it feels naked without it

thinking about how the kkk had an internal feminist movement

Gee, I can’t possibly imagine why this would be happening Ben.

“To avoid consequences” buddy the website that started this harassment campaign when he was 15 fucking years old keeps suicides it causes as a score count and that was the only actual goal in mind with pushing this bullshit.

What do these people want? An apology that the person they were trying to burn at the stake on behalf of a many-years-long scheme by nazi pedophiles didn't fucking kill himself like they wanted? They really aren't the good people they think they are in all of this.

"To avoid said consequences." What consequences? What pound of flesh would have been satisfactory? And to whom? Who needed recompense? These shit-for-brains peanut gallery assholes who think merely hearing about something bad is the same as being wronged personally themselves? Graceless fucks.

I've seen a lot of this kind of thing in my life at this point and frankly, a lot of people who push this stuff know the information they rely on is suspect AT BEST and completely fabricated more usually and they do it anyway because there's someone they want destroyed and anything is justified.
