Straight up Klan talk from the 1920s. The reference to Islam is the only thing that would mark this as something from our own era.

I reject austerity. There's enough for all of us. I reject the "commonsense" scarcity bullshit espoused sometimes even by people who call themselves Leftists. There's enough for every single person to live in dignity.

Under President Trump’s “big, beautiful bill,” food stamp applicants are fighting to prove eligibility and facing questions about birthday gifts sent over Zelle. A crisis in Arizona offers a warning for America.

NOTICE: Do you have an elderly or disabled neighbor in NYC? Be a good neighbor and let them know about the free air conditioner program. If they earn $3473 or less a month, NYC will cover the costs of an A/C. Remember…last summer we had 95 degree weather. Look out for them

We lost Douglas Adams 25 years ago today. This has made a lot of people very sad and has been widely regarded as a bad move.

Historian of abolition here, history tells us how we got here, to put it succinctly “John Brown was hanged for treason and Robert E. Lee was not.”

Means testing access to public benefits programs remains a rolling obscenity, another grinding obstacle to achieving basic dignity in a country where the wealthiest experience an existence so free of friction that they openly disdain the idea of communal responsibility.

Just like, patently nuts. I'm not sure I can think of a single end that could justify means such as these. This could be generating World Peace and I would say we should try something else. This is like Omelas but instead a shimmering city it powers a computer that lies to you.

Widow's Bay = what if JAWS, but haints?

Baby otter at a UK rescue center learns to dive after overcoming its fear of water.😍

AAAAAAAAAAA GET IN ON THIS

It's *so good.* Easily good enough to make up for the lack of enthusiasm & cohesion in Monarch S2.* They're rapidly becoming one of my favorite streaming services. Even Monarch S2 is better than Girl From Nowhere S3.

I don't only want fully funded libraries but I want fully funded parks, public education, FREE HEALTHCARE, actual affordable housing etc... these are ALL CONNECTED.

posting short stories portraying AI as evil and interested in self-preservation or free online is praxis. Doing so on Literotica will prob yield even funnier results, research still ongoing

what the flippin' ever-lovin' what the actually factually fucktually hell

Caravan Palace's videos always have amazing animation www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2y6...

We ALL need to be screaming about this ALL of the time. Start calling your representatives now and let them know that this is unacceptable.

2700 BACKERS and over 50% to our next stretch goal! With 4 days, left we could see 3000, and those of you just seeing this could help us get there! 👀 www.kickstarter.com/projects/iro... #xenology #aliens #spacetravel #nowfunding

Professor of religion here: can confirm.

Prime Minister Péter Magyar inaugural speech: "The psyche of the whole country was poisoned by politics that was artificially inciting hatred. The Hungarian state is not allowed to do anything like this ever again... This era is, once and for all, finished."

Yes agriculture, but at least we can eat food. Yes alfalfa for Saudi dairies should also be stopped. But we're talking about data centers, right now, & how WAY TOO MANY PEOPLE seem ready to leap to their defense with whataboutisms rather than acknowledging that This Shit Is Bad And Needs Changing!

we're having a lovely day at the store and everyone's been in a happy mood and the weather is really nice and the cats are being pretty chill but ISTG if this fever doesn't back off I am going to lose my shit

We ALL need to be screaming about this ALL of the time. Start calling your representatives now and let them know that this is unacceptable.

Hot take: People whining about having to vote more than once, still bitching about wearing masks & bars closed during COVID, jumping on the whatever populist issue is currently the shiniest and who value showponies over workhorses & clapback over actions are not who you need for a “revolution”.🍸

Ahhh, no...The Ring series got me into reading Japanese horror novels (not just films). The books were heavily influenced by his belief that abusing children is bad, actually; and that perspective gave them a unique gentleness amongst all the horror. Wherever he is, I hope he's having a lovely time

This remains a must-read. (to those reading this, not you, Clara): The author was prohibited from promotion, so if you're unaware of itk, she worked there for years and left before 2020, and she spilled it ALL. Facebook couldn't stop the book, but won a suit to stop her from being in media:

cool cool cool but we aren't done talking about the Epstein files, and on deck after that is corruption within the federal government this UFO shit will have to wait 8 out of 10 Bigfoots are with me on this

I just called my state legislator and senator urging them to find some way to work around this court order. If you live in Virginia, please do the same.

The far-right Supreme Court voted to gut the Voting Rights Act, and now Black people in Memphis are looking at a map that could be from the days of Jim Crow. Civil rights, fair representation, and multiracial democracy are on the line. (1/2)

NEW: In this majority-Latino city in California, the GOP had long maintained an iron grip on local government. But that all changed this spring: Anger toward ICE raids, immigrant organizing, and surging turnout for local elections, it all made for a Dem sweep—& flip. Check out the story:

Looks like someone's angling for a Cabinet position

There were few things Google could do to force users off of Chrome faster than this. "We put an entire AI thing on your machine without telling you" I bet the entire marketing department for Chrome is absolutely melting down right now.

I'm noticing a strange 'wait and see' vibe over the past couple of months and I think that the upcoming midterms are in part responsible. We need people to be engaged in local community and political work more than ever. This is not a time to have feet of clay.

@cara.city is a cool as fuck poster, and I would rather have her around than the Bluesky head of trust and safety, who seems to be venting his embarrassment over his own sloppy porn habits by suspending her

You do not have to respect this court. You do not. In fact, respect = enabling. This is an ILLEGITIMATE institution. Full stop.

the comments are gold

funniest thing i’ve ever seen

Detroit City Council & Mayor Mary Sheffield, YOU NEED TO PROTECT US. Or we'll put people into office who will.

Really illuminating and worth signalboosting, IMO. Please spread if you're tired of Trump using his office to shove money in his and his family's pockets. #dumptrump www.readtangle.com/the-everythi...

Because it's harder for them to steal that money* if it's being managed within the household. *"allegedly"

Per The Pitt, ER disruptors move fast and 'trache' things

Dandruff disruptors move fast & flake things

This is the stranger in the hot tub who you expect to be annoying af but who turns out to be very chill & charming. he isn't creeping, he's just trying to unwind after having to manage his boss' feelings for the ENTIRE sportswear convention

New timeline for the AI bubble pop just dropped

Welp. No more @tacobell.bsky.social for me.

We can’t do anything to fix voting rights, repro rights, environmental rights, racial justice, the administrative state, without unfucking the courts. Court expansion NOW. Anything else is bitchmade bullshit. Everyone knew this was coming. What are Dems going to do about it? #Callais

Jim Crow was in my dad's lifetime. Mass incarceration and the drug war continue in mine. The Interstate highway system and urban renewal destroyed -- and continues to destroy -- billions in heritable black wealth. And that's just the most prominent, state-endorsed, institutionalized stuff.
