New Epstein-linked revelations show how neo-Nazi operative Andrew Auernheimer aka “Weev” became a crucial link between Peter Thiel and the online far-right subcultures waging “memetic warfare” against their enemies. By @barrettbrownlol.bsky.social

AOC: Whether it’s people in the Epstein files still roaming free, or the president, a known rapist, continuing to occupy the White House, all of this has contributed to the normalization and the idea that incidents of harassment shouldn’t matter. And I think today was an important turning point

So, Sharon Simmons from Nevada works Door Dash in DC. Umm, okay. Sure. Staged photo-ops like this are exactly what they've accused Dems of doing for years. And now they're doing it themselves.

New evidence finds that sight and imagination rely on the same neurons and use the same neural code. n.pr/4mpWUEd

It's like a clip from the movie Idiocracy but it's our actual reality.

“Google has created a misinformation crisis. Studies have shown that people tend to trust what AI tells them without question…Another experiment found that users still listened to AI when it gave them the wrong answer nearly 80% of the time—a grim trend the researchers dubbed “cognitive surrender.”

Since everyone is talking about Generation Lead, here is Kevin Drum’s huge 2013 investigation that first exposed the connection to a broad audience www.motherjones.com/environment/...

Farmers are realizing, oh, gosh, they're deporting our workers too! Gosh! Golly fucking gee!

Surveys on political opinions should ask respondents where they get their news. We need to a richer picture of polarization & the roles far-right & conservative media play. www.pewresearch.org/global/2026/...

Democratic Party leadership absolutely does not get it. Without progressives, they will lose every election. The country is burning down under fascism, and they do this! They really don't care. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

The author of this piece is a life long Republican who worked for Nancy Reagan and Jack Kemp. She went on to write for National Review. In no way shape and form should Democrats ever listen to this piece of shit.

No American is served by creating ever bigger media monopolies funded by ever more elusive foreign entities.

Pam Bondi should still be held accountable for failing to release & removing Epstein files. Todd Blanche, her replacement, was Trump's personal attorney, met with Maxwell, & defended the decision to move her to a minimum security prison. Until all files are released, this DOJ is breaking the law.

Pam Bondi still has to testify, under oath, in front of the Oversight Committee regarding the Epstein Files. This does not get her out of that bipartisan, lawful subpoena. We will see her soon.

This is nuts. The only reason to do this is the cruelty and the racism. It will actively harm the U.S. economy. We're not talking about undocumented migrant workers here. These are legal PERMANENT residents.

It’s not a joke. It’s a clear and frequently reinforced signal to the armed services that if you break regulations or laws you will be exonerated as long as your actions show fealty to Trump/MAGA.

It's simple: The Supreme Court says bans on medical care—and speech related to that care—are only allowed in the conservative direction. Tennessee can ban gender-affirming care as a medical regulation, matter but Colorado CANNOT regulate therapists who wish to deny patients' gender or sexuality

Trump regime plans propaganda campaign -- embassies co-ordinating with military psyops division -- and explicitly names Musk's weaponized media chamber as the appropriate platform. Just saying the quiet part out loud.

Nope. Absolutley not. There is no possibility of a generational renewal with Booker. He is far too moderate.

I agree. The "normal" that was before is all gone now. The next administrations must rebuild, and that will take decades. But we have the unique chance to build a system that benefits the middle class, the workers, the poor. For too long, our systems have benefited only the wealthy and powerful.

Trump starts the week with market manipulation and threats of war crimes

Attacking civilian infrastructure such as water plants is a war crime under the Rome Statute of the ICC. Perverting our superb military into a tool for war crimes, at the urges of one man, harms all Americans on the Right and Left. It’s not “Conservative”. ihl-databases.icrc.org/en/ihl-treat...

The goal of these draconian laws is to completely banish transgender people from public life, to make life unliveable. This is hate. Plain and simple.

Trump had business motive for keeping classified documents, Jack Smith finds The special counsel’s team found Donald Trump held onto documents so secret only six people could legally review them, and believed his reason for doing so was personal financial gain. www.ms.now/news/trump-c...

This is absolutely the intent--faculty need to be united in rejecting this kind of automation (more accurately: abdication), no matter how "safe" you think your position might be now.

This is one reason teachers and editors should not rely on these detectors. It’s an unwinnable arms race or a closed system depending how you look at it.

We've killed a 100+ kids. We bombed an oil depot; the fire blazed for days causing toxic clouds. Iran is retaliating all over the region. But the NYT is here with war propaganda to reassure us that all is going well.

The rules have changed ... It's no longer just China, Russia and Iran that practice transnational repression. The US used to only use this very powerful tool against its opponents. Now, citizens and leaders of allied countries are also fair game. bsky.app/profile/soci...

The trailer for EVERYONE IS LYING TO YOU FOR MONEY. In select theaters starting April 17th 🍿🤑🤣

This is political demonization. By calling Democrats the enemy & comparing them to Iran, he implies the way to deal with them is violence. To put them to death as he supposedly did to the country of Iran. This is a dangerous, enemy-making move that invites violence.

Ossoff: "After years of this president trashing our allies, we learned today that the Danish govt was preparing military options to defeat a potential American invasion of Greenland just months ago. The president has treated our allies like they don't matter then demanded they come to his aid."

The people who cancelled Jimmy Kimmel after Charlie Kirk's assassination will now control television stations that reach 80% of Americans, twice that what was legally allowed before Trump's takeover. The state capture of network television is almost complete.

The stupid paradox, cont. #NIH director Jay Bhattacharya launches the "Scientific Freedom Lectures" series w/ a non-scientist. Matt Ridley is a science journalist who believes in the Covid lab leak hypothesis. "Scientific freedom" is about conspiracy theories. 🧪 arstechnica.com/science/2026...

This is, to put it mildly, a double standard. This guy was part of a government that encouraged online social media figures to engage in routine harassment of government employees to the point that many were fired or went into hiding. Some of it was done by Elon Musk, this guy's boss.

Well, the 'Antichrist, One World Government, End Times' vibe is pretty much everywhere these days.

Um, Fort Campbell middle school would like a word. We have many schools on bases, and Bolton knows it. More ghoulish nonsense from war Hawks to justify the murder of little girls.

Oh, Crenshaw‘s party has relentlessly focused for decades on helping misinformation and lies thrive, and now he’s upset the leopard came to eat his face? The billionaires that run the GOP have done everything they can to pollute our media environment because they know they need lies to win.

Last 14 months of Biden's term: +1.74m jobs First 14 months of Trump's term: 150,000 jobs (total! for the whole 14 months!) www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

1. The House Republicans narrowly defeated a bipartisan war-powers resolution Thursday night. The Senate voted on its own version Wednesday night. It failed, too. Does that mean Donald Trump gets a free pass? Yes, for now.

Trump is now talking about attacking Cuba. Shame on Golden, Landsman, Cuellar, and Vargas for voting against the War Powers Resolution.

never, ever, ever, ever accept "how will you pay for it?" as an argument against social programs.
