So there were some AI-generated videos that purported to show Black women ranting about SNAP benefits, and... Fox News is reporting on this like these are real people. They're not! They're AI! This is truly insane. Total unreality. www.foxnews.com/media/snap-b...

Giving Hell House: Lineage a try on Shudder. I'm a big Hell-House-head; and I'm a little sad about the lack of the found footage format!

Pregnant women detained by ICE report horrifying treatment: shackling, solitary confinement, no prenatal vitamins, inadequate food. ICE's own directives and regulations require the agency to avoid detention of pregnant people in the first place. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

"It's OK, they were 14" is getting really tired.

the president has destroyed the east wing of the white house without so much as a word of input from anyone else to build a royal ballroom paid for with bribes

Its not that he’s disgusted at the symbol or even its meaning but rather he’s disgusted at the insinuation that he should be associated with having this terrible thing that he chose to get tattooed on this chest that he apparently didn’t look too deeply into. This reeks of “I’m sorry I got caught.”

I actually don’t find it particularly difficult to draw my personal line at “got a Nazi tattoo and never had it removed” when it comes to who to support politically. Like that seems like a pretty easy call

Putting a Democrat with a Nazi tattoo in the Senate normalizes Naziism in our federal politics for a long ass time. All these recent stories about secret Nazi group chats? Anytime that happens going forward will be met with "But Platner." It's not a purity test. Think through the consequences.

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

More grace for a grown man getting a Nazi tattoo than Black kids in public spaces. It’s obscene.

Anyway if you have a Nazi tattoo it’s true you’re not a secret Nazi. You’re an open Nazi. You literally have a sign that you carry around in your body every day that says “I’m a Nazi.”

I have read a number of opinions today that say something like "look every marine gets drunk on shore leave and gets a nazi tattoo" and I just think that excuse isn't really accomplishing what anyone thinks it is

i actually don’t think the “average” american millennial man had a nazi phase. it’s not some boys will be boys shit. this makes me side eye you and your friend group, sounds like a personal problem

The crazy thing is that Platner could have absolutely survived the tattoo thing had he gotten it removed/covered up whenever it is that he first learned what it meant, showing him growing and learning and yadda yadda, etc. But instead he just hoped it'd never come up? Come on, dude.

im fine with nazi tattoos being disqualifying. im just not really afraid of losing any worthwhile babies with that bathwater

Also girls get pregnant and calling them women because they're pregnant or capable of becoming pregnant is creepy AF. A 12 year old is not a woman, especially by the snappy definition TERFs insist on using.

“I was with you, until you said ‘pregnant people.’” I get this a lot. I’m an abortion provider, and the CEO and President of an org known for abortion advocacy. Let’s talk about why I use inclusive language — and why I’m not stopping. 🧵

imagine your partner of 55 years saying he can't tell the difference between you and your clanker imposter

NEW: After The Washington Post reported Monday on the demolition of the "East Wing facade," a new picture obtained by Law Dork that was taken on Tuesday shows that a substantial portion of the entirety of the East Wing has been demolished.

The VERY SECOND!!! I surely wouldn't refer to said symbol by name and keep it on my body.

I have so many tattoos and yet I have managed to avoid a nazi tattoo. There is very little accidental nazi-tattoing, as others are pointing out. Tattooers don't tattoo nazi imagery unless they too are nazis. You have to go looking and asking for a nazi tattoo.

Watching Ghost Lake from my drowned towns list. It's got pretty terrible reviews on letterboxd. boxd.it/1bDO

Episode 2 of season 4 of the podcast "The Anti-Trans Hate Machine." This one is about M0ms for L1b3rty. The season is about attacks on public #education. #LGBTQ Listen n' learn the networks! @translash.org, @imarajones.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/m...

Enough is enough. Adelita Grijalva was elected on September 23. The people of Arizona have a right to be represented in Congress.   During today’s pro forma session, when the House is called to order I will seek unanimous consent to insist upon the swearing-in of Adelita Grijalva.

You know, seeing liberals speak up louder in defense of a guy with a Nazi tattoo than any marginalized community in the past year shouldn't shock me at all, and yet it does. It really does.

I'm so sick of discourse from supposed allies about where trans people went wrong. Where we "went wrong" is that billionaires spent unimaginably large sums to attack us repeatedly and major media outlets have spent a decade piling on.

Now watching Lanier, a movie off my drowned-towns list. bsky.app/profile/hero...

Watching Triangle (2009) again for my doppleganger list. It's worse this time. I think the weirdness has worn off? It's just confusing and full of CGI seagulls. Like, so many cut and paste seagulls.

I can't really explain fully why this is the thing of all things that got my jaw on the floor but I guess it's such a literal symbol and also such a jaw dropping amount of money while small businesses are struggling to survive the tariffs Such a visible "go fuck yourself"

(screaming at my computer) IT'S POOP! SAY POOP! www.404media.co/trump-no-kin...

It’s wild because I truly do not give a fuck about the White House but seeing it like this really is jarring.

The White House is part of the National Park Service & protected by Section 106 of the Historic Preservation Act of 1966. Don't get me wrong: I do not care about the building. I care that this act states he is above the law & the people. It has the same message as his AI fighter jet shitpost.

Watching Posession not alone right now. Finally at this incredible scene.

Massachusetts rightfully hates Seth Moulton 🫡

This is an international disaster. They targeted a disabled fishing boat in Colombian territorial waters and killed fishermen.

Pro-regime media is funded by your wordle addiction. If you or someone you know is struggling with a NYT subscription please show them video games

I’m just sick. One of my students-a sweet, kind freshman came to my office yesterday. Through the sobs she told me how her brother, a 22 year old dreamer, brought to this country from Guatemala when he was a child, was abducted by three men on his way to work. They don’t know where he is.

Hey @edmarkey.bsky.social, my senator. Can you please teach out to Fenway Health and see if you can get them to restore the trans youth care they just ended? Your words are great and we need your action too.

I'm collecting movies of two genres at the moment. Would LOVE your help with the lists. 1) Movies about towns that were drowned to make way for dams, lakes, reservoirs, etc. And 2) Movies about lady and nonbinary dopplegangers.

Hey #NoKings folks in Mass: did you miss the LUCE table at the rally today? Sign up top volunteer here, and add the ICE-watch # to your phone!!

This is by far the most fun thing I get to do when a book comes out, so go, buy it and smell good.

For Prison Banned Books Week, I want to say: it is worse than maybe it ever has been regarding censorship in prisons. It is worse than five years ago. It is worse than 50 years ago.

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents. I did it because the government isn’t. This is what I found.

Block and move on. Don’t engage with filthy little trolls who have no game. Let them wallow in their squalor and they’ll get bored and leave back to their Nazi bar.

Whatcha up to tonight? Blockin' us gov accounts on bsky and watchin' Kiyoshi Kurosawa's Cloud on Criterion. You?

Don't engage. Just block. They want to push their rage bait on here. Don't give them the satisfaction. bsky.app/profile/did:...

By my count: Of the 15 Departments of the US Government, 13 launched new BlueSky accounts tonight (all but Justice and HUD), and all 13 have posted explicitly partisan political posts blaming Democrats and/or Chuck Schumer for the government shutdown.
