This whole situation in Kansas is fucking horrific. Progress is not linear and anyone incensed by these gross violations of human rights has a duty to fight for the future they claim to support. Trans rights are human rights. Period.

Is it good when the most requested feature for a new technology is a way to turn it off? lmao www.xda-developers.com/firefox-148-...

To do this, anti-trans lawmakers in Kansas moved fast to change the law, overrode the governor’s veto, and pushed for the legal changes to go into effect nearly immediately. That kind of power—to void gender on official documents, to compel gender conformity—is terrifying and it will not stop here.

Extremely into this, grabbing the demo now

get weirder 🫵

A new paper shows that less than 2 months of exposure to Twitter’s algorithmic feed significantly shifts people’s political views to the right. Moving from chronological feed to the algorithmic feed also increases engagement. This is one of the most concerning papers I’ve read in awhile.

The victim was interviewed by the FBI four times. The last time was the day before Jeffrey Epstein died

Reducing human value to what we can be trained to do is straight up technofascism. Every fascism has its suhumans. To technofascists, humans are the subhumans.

It’s amazing to think that American conservatism, which claimed to have an intellectual heritage going back to Burke, Hamilton, Hayek and Buckley, would now be a movement whose sole ideology is whatever crazy policy Trump pulls out of his ass.

Now THAT's a headline. "The U.S. spent $30 billion to ditch textbooks for laptops and tablets: The result is the first generation less cognitively capable than their parents" fortune.com/2026/02/21/l...

Berlin, Germany, March 27, 1936 An enormous banner of Hitler with the words "Freedom-Peace" on the front of the Berlin railway station Washington, DC, February 19, 2026 An enormous banner of Trump with the words "Make America Safe Again" on the front of the DOJ He's not even pretending anymore

Super glad Sony acquired Bluepoint Games in 2021 after its incredible work on Demon Souls remake! Good work everyone!

“The postwar order rested on three pillars: American hegemony, the fossil-fuel energy system, and an open, multilateral trading order. America has now attacked each pillar at the foundation of its hydrocarbon global order.” — New: @katemac.bsky.social & I www.phenomenalworld.org/analysis/bri...

That we would end up following the fate of Athens and Rome was the single most obsessive fear of America's founders.

“Analysts said profits from the freight network helped offset losses from passenger high-speed rail.” The problem with the Western mindset: Everything must turn a profit. Gone is the recognition that sometimes essential services should lose money to improve society and spur more economic activity.

“I don't see any plan, any strategy, any end game,” says Pat Parenteau, a professor of environmental law at the University of Vermont. “I don't see anything from this administration, just fuck everything up as much as you can. You can print that.” Sounds accurate to me.

In 1854, after watching the federal government deploy 2000 federal troops and spend $40,000 sending Anthony Burns back into slavery, Boston's Amos Adams Lawrence said “we went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.”

This boy been waiting to haul off on somebody for 14 years and today he got to live the dream and stand on the right side of history. Friday the 13th is the greatest day of his life.

the rollout of the mRNA vaccines was one of the greatest public health triumphs in history and the end result has been the all-around triumph of the antivax movement and I will never get over it

one thing I'd really like to attempt this year is divesting from Google entirely. It'd be a chore for sure, but man there's just nothing redeemable about this company anymore

“It’s just a horrible, horrible, horrible place,” he said of his detention camp. “I’m not in fear of the other inmates. I’m afraid of the staff. They’re capable of anything.”

I'm sorry the guy changing the rules on the fly is named what

🚨BREAKING: Local Minneapolis police SWARM ICE protesters making mass arrests in front of ICE prison. One protesters forehead is gushing blood ⬇️

Americans are wondering if their own police departments are going to protect them from criminal federal agents and every time a video like this comes out, there's an answer.

Civil rights activist Medgar Evers was shot in the back by a Klansman in 1963. The National Park Service has removed visitor brochures from Evers' museum and reportedly plans to remove references that call his murderer a “racist"

*looks directly at camera*

Name them shame them

ohhh ‘democracy dies in darkness’ was aspirational

NEW: In a procedural win, a Virginia appeals court sent a case challenging Democrats’ redistricting effort to the state supreme court for review. The move gives the state's highest court the chance to overturn last week's ruling blocking the effort to counter GOP gerrymanders nationwide.

New from 404 Media: the FBI has been unable to get into the iPhone of raided Washington Post journalist because the phone had Lockdown Mode enabled. Apple markets Lockdown Mode mostly to stop spyware like NSO. Here, a real world example of it stopping access too www.404media.co/fbi-couldnt-...

A manager for the Immigrant Defense Network told MPR News that back in November, 2,500 people were trained as constitutional observers. Now, the total is nearly 30,000 trained observers in 77 of Minnesota's 87 counties.

If you campaigned for the presidency on a promise to destroy these assholes, you would win a landslide the size of FDR in 1936, when he campaigned on a promise to destroy these assholes.

FIRED? Who gives a fuck about “fired”?!? How about “send them to jail for life”? And I mean ALL of ‘em.

Finally getting around to erasing and testing this pile of 2.5in HDD that have sat in my cabinet for years. 80gb ones are basically ewaste but might as well make sure it’s functional ewaste ☝️🤓

I'm gonna become the first guy to walk out of family court sentenced to death

It's the PTO moms and spreadsheet dads and other random-ass Minnesotans concerned for their neighbors. There is no one central organizing org, just a ton of people who give a shit. It's both beautiful that it's happening and laughable that anyone thinks there's some broader apparatus at work.

I will donate, phone bank, and knock on doors for any Democrat who promises to do everything to the Republicans in power that they’re doing to innocent people. Not talk about the price of milk. Not talk about norms. Just want a promise that the these motherfuckers will rot.

Minnesotans are showing the soul of the United States to the world.

"Down with the traitors, up with the stars"

I know it’s controversial but I will always side with “why should we change the idealistic symbols, they’re the ones who suck.”

This is a MUST-READ affidavit. This eyewitness to Alex Pretti’s murder — who is too scared to even go home because she doesn’t trust federal agents — directly refutes what the feds are saying happened today:

BTW when I say abolish ICE, I mean abolish it entirely and replace it with exactly nothing. Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. That's it.

Glory to the martyrs who defend the Republic

I recommend not watching the videos, which are chaotic and gut-wrenching, and instead going through Bellingcat's analysis. This man appeared to be zero threat, while the officers were overly-aggressive, agitated, and clearly primed to used lethal force.
