“Broken bones, burning eyes: How Trump's DHS deploys 'less lethal' weapons on protesters” @nbcnews.com www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

DON’T BUY THE ZUCKERGLASSES. Does anyone actually need to be told this?

?? also: !!

Translation: We’re gonna rig the shit out of it.

Well this here is fucked. They agreed that the ban broke State law, but were unwilling to enforce it because of Der Pumpkinführer and his little HHS goblins’ threats. Way to stay on the right side of history, Colorado. /s

Discord advises UK users that they "may be part of an experiment" where instead of their age verification data never leaving their phone, it will now actually leave their phone www.eurogamer.net/discord-advi...

Yup. Their real goal is to have us all bent over a barrel for bare subsistence n what amounts to Neo-feudalism.

UCLA said no to Trump's abusive demands, went to court, and the govt is backing off. Harvard said no to Trump's abusive demands, went to court, and the govt is left sputtering. Columbia, Cornell, and Northwestern giving in was a big mistake. If only there were lessons against appeasing fascists.

Worth noting: literally any US born politician could get some of that Mamdani glow by siding with people over billionaires every single time. Just love your neighbors more than money and fight for them relentlessly! (And have years of coalition building and great communication skills, etc.)

US Troops killed all the guards at Dachau for this kind of shit.

It's exactly this. Musk never gets called on the fact that he's been 10 years out from a moon colony for the last 16 years; Republicans never get called on anything; why wouldn't CEOs start testing out this new accountability-free zone and just say whatever's convenient to manipulate the moment?

As medical neglect and abusive treatment threaten those imprisoned, DHS prepares for a massive expansion of detention.

WIN: Court calls out the Trump-Vance admin for its "vague word salad" explanation for dismantling the Dept. of Education and issued a rare order forcing the govt to hand over ALL records to justify its mass firing decision. This is a critical step in our case to protect public education in the U.S.

The weaponization of mass detention is the point. With Prof. Linus Chan on the vaporization of due process and @andreapitzer.bsky.social on mass detention and warehousing Amazon-style. shows.acast.com/amicus-with-...

To every cis person glazing Gavin Newsom by insisting he’s “better for trans people” when the primaries haven’t even happened yet: Fuck you. Ignoring our warnings that Newsom is a transphobic billionaire puppet is bad enough but leveraging our struggles to defend him? Seriously, fuck you.

it's 2026. PC Gamer is doing journalism while actual news outlets post more transphobia. a sandwich costs $16 or five easy payments of $5 with SandoLoan

The Epstein files make clear how easy it is for "elite" academics to get away with lying for personal gain. In 2011, for ex, Harvard professor Shing-Tung Yau asked Epstein for $1.5M to keep 6 professors from leaving Harvard, adding "of course, I shall come up with some serious proposal." 1/

NEW: The Trump administration has dropped its appeal of a federal court order blocking its $1.2-billion settlement demand to UCLA over alleged campus civil rights violations: www.latimes.com/california/s...

Yikes: guy who blogged about how an AI agent published a “hit piece” against him, says (human) reporters seem to have used an LLM to read (and misreport) his blog post theshamblog.com/an-ai-agent-...

Note the framing here: It’s “Democrats have refused to fund” DHS and not “Republicans refused to prohibit face masks” or “the two parties could not agree on how to reform the agency.” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Once more: Columbia could have fought; it chose not.

For those of you who grew up after 9/11, we got along just fine without a Department of Homeland Security for 212 years. The DHS was formed to try to prevent future terror attacks — now, it is orchestrating them.

Please read this long but important thread from an immigration defense attorney. If this administration is permitted to scale its current abuse, neglect, and inhumane treatment of immigrants to the breadth and scope for which they’re currently planning, we’ll all be witness to mass atrocities.

“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.

Abolish ICE is the bare minimum we can accept Courts have ruled 4,400 times that ICE jailed people illegally. It hasn’t stopped. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

The Trump administration's social media repurposes language and cultural references with connections to neo-Nazi and white supremacist movements. It's content that experts say is instantly recognizable to those who are in the white supremacist know, but can be largely invisible to everyone else.

This is what it looks like when the global mean girl is no longer the most popular girl in the school.

This is how you do it. Now, how to find a way to emigrate to a suitable EU country… ¬.¬ #LGBTQ #trans

C’mon, people!

Police departments across the US are quietly leveraging school district security cameras to assist Donald Trump’s mass immigration enforcement campaign, an investigation by @the74.bsky.social reveals.

These are concentration camps and its our duty as citizens to ensure these things don't get built.

New story up on the Homeland Security Department’s new tactic: flood social media companies with subpoenas to unmask anonymous accounts that criticize ICE or monitor the movements of ICE agents. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/t...

History is going to look back very unfavorably on the UK’s “TERF Island” phase. They’re on the wrong side in every possible way, led astray by well-heeled pseudo-“feminists” like billionaire JK Rowling and the astroturfed, neo-nazi-funded “LGB Alliance.” Shame on all of you. #LGBTQ #trans

LET’S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOO! #KOG #KnightsOfGuinevere

Ah yes, another “[new generation] is destroying [industry actually destroying itself, thanks]” story. Imagine that.

The hero we need…

I find myself agreeing with this whole thread. ALL THIS.

We’re at the point in Trump’s America where they will criminalize any pregnancy outcome they don’t like.

SAG-AFTRA Statement on Seedance 2.0

If you’re self-managing the end of your pregnancy and need medical advice, contact the Miscarriage & Abortion Hotline at 833-246-2632. For free legal help, call If/When/How’s free Repro Helpline at 844-868-2812 or contact Pregnancy Justice.

The default assumption should be that they’re lying

Any questions about why he NEEDS to lose the Dem primary in 2028? I thought not.

"you're gonna get in trouble for that" *stone-faced* "okay" goddamn son

It takes a lot to get New Yorkers to stand outdoors in subfreezing temperatures, but the Trump administration’s attacks on the Stonewall National Monument mobilized a crowd to Christopher Park as activists hoisted a large Pride flag to the flagpole.

Everyone involved in this needs to rot in prison when the time comes. It's just pure evil for evil's sake.

This is their whole M.O. right here.

UBI is necessary but not all that’s necessary. This should be obvious to anyone with half a brain and a conscience.

I while an atheist and fairly passionate about the separation of church and state i stayed the HELL away from the uni atheist club because all they wanted to do was debate about sexist crap and loudly support rape culture. Fish rots from the head, turns out.
