Yes, do this. "You cannot arrest someone because they are Hispanic" is worth fighting for. It's worth shutting down the government for. And it's worth attracting attention to.

Did you know it's legal to say "an Elbit arms manufacturing plant in Bristol has closed its doors after months of targeting from Palestine Action". But it'd ILLEGAL to follow that with "what incredible work from those heroes". That'd be an offence under the Terrorism Act of 2000. Don't say that!

This is the digital stasi. Social media influencers utilizing tips from followers for content that they monetize while working with state actors to target the people they want. It's all a spectacle packaged as content. Destroying people's lives for profitable ideological bloodsport.

🚨 The EU is trying to quietly weaken nature laws during summer break. We have 10 days to stop this. Don't let them destroy our forests, rivers & wildlife in silence. #HandsOffNature www.wwf.eu/campaigns/it...

It's insane to me how most of the world has stopped shipping mail and packages to the United States and the media has barely covered it. This is what I mean by boiled frogs. Everyone has become accustomed to the once unthinkable.

Trump wants to make the military takeovers scary to stop resistance but the truth is the military is not large enough to control all the major cities if there is mass resistance. They'd need 600k troops at a minimum and the national guard only has ~336k. They can't actually hold cities if we resist.

Germany gets 60% of its power from renewables and is shutting down its coal plants. No blackouts. No high bills. Every right wing lie about renewables has been proven false.

The only thing I miss about Twitter is that the guy who threw a shoe at George Bush was on it. I could commend the guy all I want on here and I have no idea if he’ll ever see it.

When you want to conduct a genocide without people seeing what you're doing, you kill all the journalists. That's exactly what Israel is doing. They just murdered 5 Al-Jazeera journalists living in a tent next to al-Shifa hospital. www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/202...

This should be a Five Alarm Fire on every G'ddamned media outlet in the world. I very rarely post a link to someone else's newsletter...as I have my own. This, however...is a MUST see. open.substack.com/pub/thiswill...

So refresh my drink - we're letting generationally wrong people, the wrongest to ever do it - world class in their objective wrongness - kneecap the global economy because non rich people were briefly able to pay more of their bills and rich people took that personally is that the long and short

"I need ChatGPT to brainstorm" dear human person the whole point of brainstorming is to find new ways or angles when approaching a problem, the "let's regurgitate the complete stolen corpus of human achievement"-machine doesn't help you brainstorm - it stops you from brainstorming.

Sorta feels like "they are actively gutting cancer research" should be finding more purchase out there

Epstein’s money seeded a Thiel firm. Thiel founded Palantir. Palantir now runs a centralized surveillance database on every American. Surveillance, secrecy, and sex trafficking money? This isn’t a conspiracy theory, it’s exactly what just happened. “Nothing to see here” is doing a lot of work.

I do not think The Left is what is keeping a critical mass of Religious People away from The Left. I'm pretty sure that mostly works the other way around.

Grok and ChatGPT are just Magic 8 Balls for a dumber, digital age and anyone who uses it should be shunned

I feel like I say this every damn day but the point of government is that it’s a public service taxpayers already pay for. It doesn’t need to turn a profit. It’s not a business and politicians don’t get to treat it like one for their personal enrichment.

Every news outlet that reports on US stocks "surging" should be required to note that the wealthiest 10% of Americans hold more than 90% of all the value of US stocks.

The media will describe everything going up in price by 15% as a win. This is absurd.

Her: "NO GODDAMNIT! IT IS A FLOWER. A FLOWER THAT SHOWS MY PATRIOTISM!" The World: "Americanus." Her: "IT IS NOT AN ANUS!" The World: "Americanus." Her: (PROFUSELY bleeding from the mouth and making gurgling noises at a concert loud volume). The World: "Americanus."

When Dobbs came down, the media rightly saw it as the culmination of a decades long effort to eliminate abortion rights by the conservative legal movement. When Skrmetti came down, the media blamed trans people and not that same conservative legal machine. It's the same court and lawyers.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

i know it's just advertisement but it still pisses me off when tech CEOs claim AGI will solve humanity's problems with its vast intelligence. for a lot of problems we already know the solutions, what prevents them being solved is not a lack of intelligence, but that the solutions are unprofitable

Every now and then I feel like too sane of a scientist and I have to remind myself that, given unlimited time and money, I would bring back the woolly mammoth. And no, not Colossal’s four-gene-modified elephant hybrids. Full nuclear DNA mammoths (as best as I can)

Don’t fool yourself. This is about removing EV tax credits, SpaceX funding and gov’t contracts for Starlink. Nothing else.

The cognitive dissonance required to support the government saying both “Forget vaccines, you just need fresh, healthy food” and “We’re firing all the food inspectors” is truly staggering.

This story just gets worse and worse

Okay Luigi absolutely didn't do it and this is a pin job

Dear god let this man cook.

We've got Bill Kristol saying abolish ICE and standing up for trans people, David Brooks quoting the communist manifesto, and Sen. Van Hollen forcing a dictator to give proof of life of a hostage in a death camp. Meanwhile, Dems like Newsom are doing podcasts with fascists. Make it make sense.

We are sending people to the Salvadoran gulag for nothing at all. documentedny.com/2025/04/14/i...

Hey. Why. The hell. Is our administration paying a foreign government to put Americans and immigrants—“legality” aside, no one’s illegal on stolen land—in a maximum security prison without due process???

I feel that it’s necessary to remind people of the myth of Fafnir, in which a dwarf is given a magical ring that spawns more rings every so often. And his son was so corrupted by greed that he killed him to take the ring and turned into a dragon. And then had to be slain. Due to damage caused.

As much as I may take issue with a lot of what the Democrats do/wont do in the face of Republicans and fascism, I have to applaud Cory Booker for doing the one thing people have been BEGGING the Democrats to do for years now—actually use the filibuster to obstruct Republicans

The reason that the US is locking up tourists for weeks in hellish detention centers rather than letting them book tickets back home is because the detention centers are owned by corporations. They are charging the taxpayers fortunes to cage these people, and making bonanzas off their suffering.

I don’t think anyone who ever said “you’ll get more conservative as you grow older” could have foreseen the past decade. Like what about that could POSSIBLY make anyone more conservative

This Is Trump's Genocide Now Trump signed off on the reignition of the Gaza holocaust. He spent weeks sabotaging the ceasefire, then gave the thumbs up to the resumption of the genocide. He did this while bombing Yemen and threatening war with Iran for Israel. www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/this-is-tr...

Five public health facts RFK Jr doesn't want you to know: 1. Vaccines work and are safe. 2. Solid fats aren't health foods. 3. Random dead animals you find lying around are not safe to touch (or eat). 4. Methylene blue is a dye, not a miracle cure. 5. Measles is bad for you.

Right now, the savviest thing a Democratic politician can possibly do is to publicly demonstrate a willingness to violate both norms and decorum.

Nothing about kids dying from measles is normal. Anti-vaxxers like RFK Jr. and the Republicans who enable them are responsible for every single one of these deaths.

In light of everything happening, I wrote about how the KKK in the 1920s felt unstoppable, about the people that fought against them anyway, and about how fascism always fails. dansinker.com/posts/202…
