Libs of Tiktok, Elon Musk, and Robbie Starbuck put everything they had into trying to push a boycott of Netflix over LGBTQ characters in their shows. Netflix ignored them and the stock is back up. Turns out bots don't actually cancel accounts.

From 1939-1945 German officers also listened to speeches from civilians about how the laws of war didn’t apply to them. And then they participated in the Holocaust, starved millions of prisoners of war, destroyed villages and cities, and were defeated.

Only an administration intent on committing war crimes in the present and future would stoop to calling Wounded Knee a "battle" rather than what it truly was: a massacre of over 250 Lakotas, mainly women, children, and the elderly. 1/

The remarks weren’t “about Charlie Kirk,” they were about how this administration is using Kirk’s death as an excuse to shut down critics … and they responded by proving him completely correct.

It needs to be said that by rebranding Charlie Kirk's views as moderate by both right wingers and liberal cowards resets the extremist views he held as normal and pushes the Overton window to the far right

New, w/ @mulchy.bsky.social & @djbyrnes1.bsky.social: ICE shot & killed an immigrant in the Chicago suburbs yesterday. Then they immediately gave a misleading account of events. Chicago erupted in chaos and a father who lived here for decades is dead. This is what really happened:

Donald Trump is waging a fascist takeover of the United States. Democrats are responding the only way they know how: by heeding the advice of the wonks who helped get them into this situation — and whose advice is to avoid discussing what Trump is doing. More: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

This is the crux of it. Some people are more upset at admittedly mean and sometimes hateful personal criticism than coordinated, large-scale attacks on the pillars of a free society. And if pushed, that's why they claim that "civil debate" is actually the pinnacle of western civilization:

The point of journalism is to tell people the truth! If the population and political leaders are panicking about something that isn't happening, your job as a reporter is to loudly debunk it — not plead with the other party to join the panic.

The Gestapo violence is horrible--but it's noteworthy that almost every ICE attack that gets recorded includes bystanders at a minimum telling them they're evil, and sometimes being even more engaged. Proud that so many are standing up to the thugs.

Transphobes are a public menace.

I get sick of being told “well, we have to take their concerns seriously.” No we don’t! Their concerns are completely made up! We shouldn’t even gesture at maybe taking them seriously, especially when what they want is to take rights away from someone!

"Anti-semitism" was just the foot wedged in the door. The actual intent has always been to destroy academia as a bastion of liberalism, then replace it with nonsense racial and theocratic propaganda. This was never about protecting Jews, but many in politics and the press willingly fell for it.

“Pedocon theory does not involve secret networks of underground tunnels where adrenochrome is harvested for reptilian overlords. Pedocon theory is not hiding beneath twelve layers of misdirection. Pedocon theory is rooted in the basic politics of the reactionary right.”

The same company that's buying CBS (and needs Trump's approval to do so) is also trying to buy Bari Weiss' website. It's a political decision.

Let's call this what it is: human trafficking. Trump wants to kidnap families off our streets, strip them of due process, and ship them to countries they have no correlation to. This is dangerous, cruel, and will shamefully put vulnerable people in harm's way.

Since January 2025, police raids on massage parlors have intensified, targeting immigrant women suspected of sex work. Amid nationwide protests against ICE, these workers — among ICE’s most systematically targeted — are largely excluded from community defense. truthout.org/articles/sex...

NEW: Trump’s administration simply will not stop setting up snitch lines, urging federal staff to rat on each other for the crime of being anti-Trump or in favor of the virtues of diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Trump is attacking our entire immigration system and immigrants of all statuses — cracking down on free speech, conducting illegal third-country deportations, and sending innocent men to a foreign gulag. This is authoritarianism.

You know the assignment

ICE's increasingly aggressive tactics are unacceptable and dangerous. They do not make us any safer. I’m calling for an independent investigation right now — this abuse of power must end.

They've disappeared people to foreign concentration camps. Do not forget these people

It's eugenics it's eugenics it's eugenics. This regime is run by eugenicists. They want to poor, disabled, elderly, children, queer folks dead. Their policies are killing us. On purpose.

We drill into military officers that Members of Congress have Constitutional oversight rights, Members outrank four-stars in protocol, and even Congressional staffers are treated like generals/admirals. To see sworn federal officers manhandle and handcuff a U.S. Senator... I'm still shook up.

Yes, protesting can help tyrants like Trump, with its scenes of disorder. But that’s no reason to stay at home | Zoe Williams

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

Immediately, to no one’s surprise, the Baldoni stan army started conspiring that Lively’s elite Hollywood connections meddled with the case. It is now veering into QAnon territory. This is what happened when Johnny Depp lost his U.K. defamation case, too. The battle is won but the war keeps going.

My heart hurts. Lemme break this down as a Californian for folks who are trying to follow: ICE raided a bunch of schools, stores, and community centers—detaining citizens and legal immigrants in the process. LA folks protest for their neighbors, friends, and classmates by holding signs and filming.

The Israeli government had vowed to prevent the ship from breaching the naval blockade of Gaza. http://jrnl.ie/6727546

Los Angeles specifically is the realest America, imo.

We are witnessing the first stages of Trump’s police state | Robert Reich

Terry, I'm pretty sure there are gobs of independent journalists who are not collaborators with a fascist regime who would love to have you come work with them.

I think the easiest historical way to view this is that these are a bunch of white men of a certain age who fantasize about going back in time and murdering every person of color who dared protest over the Rodney King trial verdict. And here they are, salivating at sending the army to LA.

very fun to read frederick douglass accurately describe the problem with the pardon power in 1867

"Brooke Nichols, an associate professor of global health at Boston University, has estimated that these cuts have already resulted in about 300,000 deaths, most of them of children, and will most likely lead to significantly more by the end of the year."

"Ethnic cleansing has become the official policy of Israel. The nation’s leaders are admitting it, without apology. There was barely a pretense before. But now there’s not even that. And these admissions, combined with mass killing on the ground, point to something even more horrific: genocide."

This tactic has been a core feature of the war on GAC. What constitutes a "procedure" was intentionally muddied to allow lawmakers to imply surgery when they meant medication, and for right-wing media to do the same when people objected. Confusion was the goal.

The Zelens’kyi ambush was antisemitic, and this one was racist. Good presentation here by NYT. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/21/u...

Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” is Project 2025 in legislative form. Here’s how it quietly turns a far-right wishlist into federal law: - Sec. 10008 - Expands work requirements for SNAP - Project 2025: Pushes “moral reform” to make low-income people work more for food assistance.

When the “legal path” leads to a prison cell, we've boldly gone from immigration policy to humanitarian travesty.

Devastating. The cowardice and the betrayal of an incomparable news brand.

None of the 278 men sent to CECOT have been returned. Meanwhile their lawyer has been arrested and "disappeared" in El Salvador.

You have to go back to GRAVITY (2013) to find a live-action, non-animated original that made more money in the US than SINNERS.

Israel's blockade on humanitarian aid entering Gaza has put the entire population at "critical risk of famine", with roughly half a million Gazans facing starvation, a global hunger monitor has warned jrnl.ie/6702653

Since I administered the WH emoluments rules, let me explain why this is forbidden Trump expressed interest in it before it was offered He is going to use & benefit from it a while in office And he's going to keep using it after he leaves! Functionally, it's a gift to him & so it's illegal

The editorial completely omits the fact that the Trump has nuked nearly $400 million in LGBTQ related research and has explicitly banned any and all funding for transgender health. But they ignore all that while they call for "better research" that is now banned and defunded.

Move the World Cup, the Olympics, and every international meeting out of the U.S. It is not safe to come here until conditions change. That's not alarmist. That's the reality we are looking at. It's never been like this my whole, getting to be longish, life.
