This is horrifying. People getting sentenced to decades in prison for distributing zines, organizing mutual aid efforts, public protest.

🚨🚨🚨 Punchbowl News reports a bipartisan deal on KIDS Act, which includes KOSA 🚨🚨🚨 The House vote could come as soon as next week. Meanwhile, Sen. Blackburn is working with the White House on linking KOSA with AI regulation, and Senate markup is expected in July. FYI @omarsbigsister.bsky.social

My nine year old asked for a Rosetta Stone cake for his birthday

If i dont leave the midwestern suburbs im going to kill myself

This was actually fascinating. I learned a lot. An interactive explainer that walks you through exactly how solar panels convert sunlight into electricity, step by step: perthirtysix.com/how-the-heck...

Unless they nailed it this time, I don’t wanna hear it.

what if we all agreed there should be a one week moratorium on new news so everyone could get caught up. everybody just take 5. no more stuff happening for a sec. i didn’t even know about bibi’s prostate cancer, for example.

The amount of misinformation we’re getting about an incident that just occurred in front of 1,500 news reporters is truly the metaphor of our generation.

lowkey like idrc this time

the people on this site are sooo corny

This is a sick civilization. An open call to genocide. It is clear that Gaza is how we got here- tolerating genocide in one space begets another. Generations of our ancestors have worked to build something different, toward the preservation of earthly life. I hope I live to see this re-orientation.

Tucker Carlson issued a more direct and clear repudiation than 98% of elected Democrats.

Tucker Carlson: "It's vile. It begins w/ a promise to use the US military to commit a war crime. Those people who are in direct contact w/ the president need to say 'No. I'll resign. I'll do whatever I can do legally to stop this, bc this is insane. And if given the order, I'm not carrying it out'"

everything we are seeing now is the consequence of having a political environment in which indifference to the deaths and suffering of other people - even by the state whose supposed responsibility is to safeguard their welfare - is a superpower rather than a political liability

Democrats truly do need to use moral language to condemn republicans The right is the side of moral evil. No other group in the country is more objectively evil than right wing evangelical christians Do not let evangelicals own the concept of “morality”. Use moral language and people will respond

Theres no point voting for Democrats anymore because they don't even do anything

All I can think about is that aerial shot of the White House surrounded by No Kings protestors who did nothing but stand there with signs for a few hours.

Imagine if the roles were reversed and Iran had the madman with nukes. A guy who destroyed a 250 year old democracy in about a year. Started a war for no reason. And then he posted that he was gonna end American civilization. How would you feel about Iranians saying "relax he's not serious"

The rest of the world should probably collectively stand up to the U.S. right now, tbh

Is it inevitable? Were we always going to end up here?

Wow this is insane. The BBC posted a story yesterday with a supposed quote from an Iranian citizen saying he is okay with the US dropping an atomic bomb on Iran. After pushback, without public acknowledgment, they just changed the quote in the story to something completely different.

If you’ve never called your congressional reps before, do it right now.

If the world knows that the President of the United States is about to commit war crimes by bombing the infrastructure of another country, isn’t it imperative that he be prevented from doing so rather than simply watch it happen

“A whole civilization will die tonight” is the most vile thing a US president has ever said, certainly during the post-1945 era when they’ve had the power to kill civilizations with the dropping of a bomb. I’m staring into the darkness. May this not be one of the most fateful days in human history.

"A whole civilization will die tonight" is something that should be followed by a swift military couple and unseating of this mad man at the least and international emergency stops put in place to stop this. Instead the entire western world is sitting back while Trump might launch a nuke.

Israeli soldiers are detonating entire villages in South Lebanon while taking selfies. Ancient mosques, churches, cemeteries, schools, hospitals - all being obliterated by the genocidal regime www.instagram.com/reel/DWrg5xi...

Republicans are using kids as a smokescreen for what Big Tech lobbyists want: a national surveillance program to harvest our data with zero protections for people and their privacy. We must fight this dangerous expansion of surveillance technology.

Oh my God fuck this Haidt figure who has pretty much controlled this entire conversation and no one will bring up the fact he's a transphobe who's whole goal is to kill the internet by killing Section 230. He DOES NOT CARE about children. AT ALL!!!

Really not loving how basically every politician on the planet is jumping on board with these types of age verification laws, tbh!

Trigun stargaze was a massive disappointment. There's a lot to say but I'm just extremely upset at how they handled the story.

Women with an advanced degree are paid the same as men with just a bachelor's. And at every education level, women's hourly wages are about 20% lower than men's

This is an incredibly important piece by @masnick.com about the verdicts against Meta and I really hope you read it, because I think very few people understand the situation. Two things can be true...Meta and Zuckerberg are terrible, but so are these verdicts. www.techdirt.com/2026/03/26/e...

It’s shocking how the motivation behind almost every single bad tech bill is about hating LGBTQ people and specifically trans people

this is actually why i once had a positive opinion of Rowling. As a kid I got bullied for reading giant nerdy books. Once HP got huge suddenly every kid was hauling giant tomes around school and I didn't get laughed at anymore. no public figure ever burned more of my goodwill faster

I know the media is interviewing regretful Trump supporters about the war and gas prices, but I do wonder how long it will be before they realize how absolutely irrevocable their lives and the lives of their children will be because of the Big Beautiful Bill. Like it's OVER for the average American.

Jonathan Haidt promotes transphobic conspiracy theories (like the idea that girls are being "transed" by social media) so I guess it's not that surprising that he is the favorite pseudo-scientific pop psychologist cited by supporters of dangerous censorship legislation that will kill trans kids

SENATE HEARING ON SECTION 230 IS TOMORROW Call your representatives and leave messages RIGHT NOW. Advocate FOR section 230, and oppose internet surveillance bills! www.congress.gov/members/find...

Victims in our countries seldom get profiled and humanised in Western media. This is a portrait of a life cut short. What a tragedy. "Saleh Ahmed (55) lived in the UAE as an expat for 25 years, sending under £500 per month in earnings to Bangladesh for his wife and four children."

There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.

'Rising reactionary sentiment and right-wing extremism under Trump has accelerated the push for online age verification...Online protest, documenting war crimes, even news articles could be suppressed.' - @evangreer.bsky.social , Director at @fightforthefuture.org

BREAKING: An open letter with 60,000 people was sent to @housecommerce.bsky.social detailing opposition to age verification bills We are the people who grew up on the internet. If anyone knows about harms it caused, it's us. Not parents, not congress, us. Read here: docs.google.com/document/d/e...

I mean you would think with how many decades went into wanting to bomb Iran they'd at least have some sort of plan

CALL YOUR CONGRESS PERSON NOW!!!!!! Tell them: — NO to KOSA — NO to Section 230 reform — NO to the SCREEN Act — NO to the App Store Accountability Act —NO age verification laws —NO to digital ID systems

the only person i trust less than Mark Zuckerberg when it comes to kids online safety is ... Marsha Blackburn

These are the people that would write the speech rules for the entire internet if Section 230 is gutted

Don’t believe the claims about ‘kids safety’ behind the push for Online ID checks. They are and always have been about surveillance and censorship. @cassiewillson.bsky.social is spot on in this video
