we have a pretty cool legal system where if you react to an openly nazi billionaire conman with anything more than an indifferent shrug you can't serve on a jury

1/ Okay, now I’m mad. Any Supreme Court in our nation’s history before John Roberts would have upheld the lower courts’ injunctions blocking Trump’s tariffs & not issued a stay that let Trump wreck the economy and break the law for over a year. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/20/u...

We make fun of elon but this is a clean win for him. Even after rebranding twitter as a goebbels computer with A.I. revenge porn journalists stayed on it frying their brains for retweets from jd vance and faulty sean spicer clones. Now they’re writing “Does AOC’s Brain Smell Different?”

Uh, I'm pretty sure a guy who looked like this went on national TV and told me that the ICE surge was over, that the people of Minneapolis had driven them out, despite absolutely no evidence and only the word of noted liar Tom Homan

thinking about women at the top of their game winning medals and trophies and being genuinely supportive of their competitors bc they aren’t threatened by each other’s success, meanwhile the face of sports transphobia is some asshole who placed eighth in a swim meet and made it everybody’s problem

Trump illegally imposed billions in tariffs (taxes) on U.S. corporations. Much of those costs were passed onto consumers. The corporations might get their money back. You never will.

now that the tariffs are gone i don't see a reason to stop charging $100k per knife. People found a way to pay it so they must have the money to do so, and I'm not incentivized to do otherwise. I am every business.

The Roberts Court has a clear set of guidelines: the president can do anything he pleases, so long as it does not violate the rights of the owning class.

Prime example of why there is no safe level of exposure to X propaganda, no matter how immune you think you are. One day you're a highly intelligent, influential political leader. The next you're sharing content from an Infowars conspiracy theorist to your millions of followers. Get off that site.

(sea monster bio) You've probably seen my writhing in The Atlantic

Governments telling professors and students what they’re not allowed to talk and think about. Nakedly authoritarian and also, should work great. There are few things young people respond to more obediently than having politicians tell them what they’re allowed to think about. s/

living in the US i genuinely forgot it’s possible to punish pedophiles

Me to my Korean friends as I watch their democracy succeeding at punishing an insurrection while our own failed miserably to do so:

Here's a list of all the places Trump is building concentration camps to brutalize non-white men, women, and kids—including many in the US legally and some who are citizens. Most will be sent to die in places they've never been to or to be tortured by Trump pals. # = Prisoners.

And after all that, the Pitt/Cruise AI fight scene appears to have been just digital BG and face replacement on multi-angle green screen reference videos of two real live human stuntees fighting. In other words, like most AI hype — it was a con. www.shokunin.studio/blog/2026/2/...

you: damn, it turns out the billionaire cabal who ran a sex trafficking ring and a child breeding program was also instrumental in pushing bitcoin, the manosphere, the alt-right, and ai propaganda guy with 14 emojis in display name: Relax. I believe this will be solved by voting in 2.7 years

Thousands of institutions abandoned programs, ended or rewrote scholarships, closed down clubs and publications, all in pre-emptive compliance. And you know why? Mostly because they wanted to do it if they thought they could blame someone else for it.

Have journalists considered they enjoy Twitter more because their "unbiased journalism" is really closer aligned with the bigotry there? Im kidding. It's definitely the audience and not you🥰

There is no bottom with these people. Think of how much we don't know about what is going on inside the concentration camps. I want to hear from every Democratic elected official and candidate about their plans for accountability once this regime is out of power.

Why are people always yelling at The Left, a group almost entirely shut out of public life, including mainstream news outlets. You are mad at people on social media. Get a life

remember when we used to send people to letmegooglethatforyou dot com as a sick burn when somebody asked a question they could find the answer to themselves? genai is just a trillion dollar industry that makes that real, a middleman regurgitating everything a human has ever put on the internet

this will undoubtedly get me put into a database but nonetheless, I think ICE building concentration camps and dumping babies with bronchitis across the border to die ... is bad actually

Ok I’ve seen enough of RFK jr and kid rock working out together, please stop RTing it

resigning to spend less time with his family

A two-month old baby who became non-responsive overnight has nevertheless been returned to the Dilley Center concentration camp:

Cannot be said enough: we win by making the argument, not by ignoring or reinforcing the lies of our opposition. This means more than being against enforcement, it requires making full throated case immigrants embody the bravery & tenacity we claim to admire.

seeing news about a "memory shortage." it's not a shortage. billionaires who hate you hoarded it all so they could make everything worse and stupider and more expensive, just like with most shortages

Susan Collins says she's in favor of the SAVE Act, which is the Trump push to overhaul how elections are administered. wgme.com/news/local/c... The bill would impose voter ID requirements... which Mainers literally just rejected in a referendum in November. boltsmag.org/five-ways-20...

“They’re trapped in this little confinement cell, a dark cell with no sunlight, with multiple people,” said Shaan Chatterjee, an attorney at New England Immigration Law. “They’re basically torturing people into signing off on their own deportation.” (Free article) www.sunjournal.com/2026/02/07/i...

love to be stressed out every minute of every day about things I cannot directly control

We’re in an interesting period where companies seem to be betting the farm that their customers don’t care about the quality of their product and will just pay for it even if it’s worthless

Voting is the only political leverage you have, which is why you need to promise to give your vote to the first person who says he wants it with no questions asked

I think… I think I may have done something really bad

Promising headline that completely overstates what is expressed in the actual text Discord's response can be summed up to saying they're aware of the ethical and security problems, but they're not doing anything of substance to protect or respect users, and will make zero substantial policy changes

Are Democrats fighting to get us back to this? Or are they fighting to stop this? That's an essential question that party needs to answer and that we should be asking ourselves.

the Black Panthers were right

ICE shot Marimar Martinez 5 times They shot & killed Silverio Gonzalez, Keith Porter, Renee Good and Alex Pretti They kidnapped Liam Ramos & other innocent children They’ve detained over 4,000 people illegally The shutdown is well deserved, but ICE should not be paid They should be abolished

“DHS traps people with serial killer methods” arrives in the news one (1) day after “DHS taunts jailed children with Nazi methods,” for those keeping track

Feigning objectivity has broken Thomas Chatterton Williams’ brain. It’s hard to overstate how stupid this is. The right likes slavery because they think they sit atop a natural hierarchy of races. It’s a basic component of their ideology and has nothing to do with the left.

all of this has happened before

LLMs do not understand, will not understand, and cannot ever understand information. It's a glorified search engine combined with auto-compete, and you should treat it as such. No matter how much LLM companies try to tell you their machines can think or reason, they cannot and will not. 12/12

For those of you who grew up after 9/11, we got along just fine without a Department of Homeland Security for 212 years. The DHS was formed to try to prevent future terror attacks — now, it is orchestrating them.

lol this is gonna burst so fucking hard

Watching classic Simpsons and Marge just dropping "You know the courts may not work anymore, but as long as everyone is video taping everyone else justice will be done" in 1994 has me staring into the middle distance

Had a dream that there was global panic about the world running out of oxygen, Nintendo was the only video game company to make a statement about it, and the internet collectively spent its final hours on Earth debating whether Nintendo was being genuine or not
