Can’t believe they released the Epstein files to cover up for the Melania movie.

People who “don’t do”politics: Can you feel politics doing you yet?

While independent bookstores are giving out free whistles, hosting protest sign making events, and donating proceeds to mutual aid, Amazon is *checks notes* providing technology that assists ICE in their terrorizing of communities. Independent bookstores deserve your support. Amazon does not.

It's annoying that we already had so many existing problems to solve before these assholes created a bunch of new ones for no reason

This is an excellent analogy, because my recollection from grade school is that the pen on the right looks fun and exciting, and then you play with it for a few minutes and realize it's not actually useful for anything and in fact makes some tasks more cumbersome, and never think about it again.

The American people electing Trump after he staged a coup attempt 5 years ago was a nail in the coffin of our democracy. You can rationalize it all you want - But inflation! But wokeness! - but ultimately it was a societal suicide attempt and probably the dumbest collective voting decision ever made

I wish people would stop talking about AI systems as if they were human. Quit anthropomorphizing Elon Musk.

My 2 Cents: I loved this article! This explains why the friends you made before 20 will probably be your best friends because at that age, you were you and they liked you the way you were. At a certain age you want that authenticity back. Being liked for who you really are.

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing." — Malcolm X 🌱📷

Asked a student how he was doing and he responded "Living the dream one nightmare at a time" If that doesnt capture the absurdity and dread of this moment

You should definitely get Lindsey Halligan to indict them.

"Quiet, piggy!"

They’re calling her Megyn R. Kelly on TikTok

I love this.

Easily the most interesting (and optimistic) thing I've read in a while climatedrift.substack.com/p/why-solarp...

Millions of Democratic voters on Tuesday: Fight these guys. Fight them. Senate Democrats: We heard you loud and clear and we will give in

Surprised he heard about it.

I’m just a small-town political scientist, & it’s still relatively early, but it appears that The Actual Democrats did not Need To Do any of the Things or Learn any of the Obvious Lessons that Ezra Douthglesias said they Must Do & Learn.

I know it’s too much to expect them to know their history, but if the American Revolution had a motto, it definitely would not have been “immigrants go home.” It would have been “get your fucking soldiers out of our cities.”

A headline for the history books

One of these days, almost everyone who supported Trump is going to be deeply ashamed. And that’s how you’ll know that things are getting better.

Retired journalism prof here to fix this headline (🚨) BREAKING: Leader of Democratic Country Posts Video of Himself As King Bombing His Own Citizens With Diarrhea-Filed Bioweapons on Same Day Millions of Citizens Protest Him Being a Vile and Incontinent Piece of Shit Who's Plotting a Dictatorship

I spent an unreasonable amount of time here on the differences between modern fascism and what people are referring to when they say fascism 1.0 2.0 and 3.0:

Join me in condemning this kind of statement and this kind of hate.

I do firmly believe that refusing to outsource your basic cognitive functions to LLMs right now - as so many are stumbling over themselves to do right now, like hogs trotting to a pile of slop that’s been set up inside of a butcher’s delivery truck - will very much pay off in a few years.

Give this guy a medal

Spot on. It’s happening right now…this is how it starts.

For clarity: my moral allegiance in this moment of such enormous suffering is to the PEOPLE of Israel, Gaza, and Iran. The REGIMES of those places—Hamas militants, the Netanyahu administration and its IDF and “settler” agents; the Iranian regime—can go to hell, the lot of them.

Touché.

The best response to Abundance talk is a single tweet from Ruairi Wood, RIP brother.

Gentle reminder to anyone who needs it today: The more you use technology to replace the things you used to do for for yourself, the less you will be able to do them. That goes for writing, walking, thinking, communicating, making things, and all the things humans used to be pretty good at.

Just gonna keep ringing this bell: this is what I want to see *every campaign look like.* Mutual aid as campaigning is brilliant. Win or lose, the community wins. It's not just smart politics, it's GOOD politics.

If you use a tool that you don’t understand, eventually the only output the tool will produce is a replica of your non understanding.

Everything you need to know about America’s headlong descent into fascism, in one chart. Billionaires are the cancer that rots democracies.

I finally put pictures on bsky profile! They are far more meaningful than my face, anyhow FDJT!

New — ICE will release the mother and children they shackled and unlawfully abducted from Sackets Harbor, NY in late March after relentless pressure from the town. I write how the incredible outcome of this horrifying story should give fuel us to fight back: www.thehandbasket.co/p/sackets-ha...
