At the request of DoJ, Apple has removed apps that allow people to alert others nearby about sightings of ICE agents in their area. https://www.cnn.com/2025/10/03/tech/iceblock-apple-removed-trump

Rodrick Johnson, 67, is one of many residents who were detained by federal agents during the raid. A #us #citizen, he said agents broke through his door & dragged him out in zip ties. Johnson said he was left #tiedup outside the building for nearly 3 hours before agents finally let him go. “I […]

Generals gathered in their masses. Just to listen to jackasses.

Every few months now I re-read this "Who Goes Nazi?" piece from 1941 and am blown away by how it captures the people we are dealing with 80 years later. harpers.org/archive/1941...

There was very little that was confidential in LA. #factcheckashoworfilm #hashtaggames

This was an opportunistic capture from a hotel balcony, made with a small camera and 90mm lens. I made several exposures, waiting for good light, which came out briefly for this one. The wrong gear is definitely better than nothing, but still not as good as the right gear. This is a perfectly […]

@Viss I was just talking to a coworker about how there's no true AI owner collectives yet. A bubble burst could be just the thing to democratize models

Political consultants are better at podcasting than consulting.

"We kill people and blow things up for a living." 🤪

## confederates never learn a goddamn thing If anyone’s wondering whether US farmers exporting to China just need a little “temporary help” to get over Trump’s trade war, read this thread from farmer Sarah Taber on Mastodon. She’s a farmer from North Carolina […] [Original post on solarbird.net]

HOW FAR OUR COUNTRY HAS FALLEN‼️ So F*CKING embarrassing for our country ‼️

When the AI bubble crashes, the Republican plan of taking everything over does not crash with it. Quite the contrary, their practically limitless money supply will buy up the lost homes and bankrupt businesses. They do this every time.

Just like the white winged dove. 🕊️

Fuck you. Make me.

These fucking reprobates need an example.

Attention all Canadians: Dr. Oz's Turkish Acetaminophen (Tylenol) doesn't cause autism. Yay team! /s

Aggressively refusing money from certain sources was not on my bingo card as a kid with ideas of who I wanted to be.

So much political and financial capital has been raised on the cynical idea that half the country is the enemy within. Nope, it's the 20-30 percent dipshitted bigots addicted to Fox and Newsmax.

Perhaps the UN could comment on the various countries participating in human trafficking for the US government.

The signal from the noise. Mostly static.

Billionaires, Epstein and Russia Russia Russia are all one unfortunately true story.

There's a clip from today's rump saying "Physical reason, mental reason". I think it speaks for itself.

I think when Trump was questioning reality against what he sees on TV, there's a chance it could be genuine. Versus the idea that he is doing it on purpose, which would take only a single level of deceptive twist.

It's just wrong. Everything about this billionaire far right thing is just wrong.

OMG I can't imagine what the true believers and proponents of US national defence are feeling right now.

Once it's all shut down and gone to shit, all that will remain is authoritarianism and a practically endless money supply to implement it.

Orange fuckface talking about 'battleships', but have you heard of Ukraine?

MAGA is the last refuge of the zero talent hack.

Protests matter. If they didn't, Trump wouldn't be trying to silence them with military force.

This is the administration that just fired a bunch of FBI agents for kneeling at a BLM protest five years ago.

Sinclair issued a public statement that they HAD to ban Kimmel to "protect local communities," yet it routinely airs election fraud conspiracy theories and medical disinformation I'm surprised the handful of reporters that cover telecom/media could be bothered to notice or mention the inconsistency

In a sane country with competent leadership, the 50 highest-ranking Democrats would call a press conference to denounce what just happened as a threat to the republic and demand Trump's immediate impeachment and removal from office. I don't know he could make his intentions more clear.

The low light of Trump’s speech came when he complained he couldn’t use the “n-word” anymore. #trump was speaking to hundreds of #us generals & admirals when he got on the subject of #nuclear weapons. The word nuclear was not one to “throw around,” he said. “We can’t let people throw around […]

There doesn’t seem to be a clear point or purpose in Trump’s speech to the #military generals. He has talked about #tariffs, #biden & the autopen #conspiracytheory, the southern #border, CNN, his personal feelings about #putin & his thirst for a #nobelpeaceprize. Trump said he told #hegseth […]

Already, the remarks by #trump & #hegseth are drawing criticism from former #military officials. “I couldn’t be prouder of our highest ranking leaders for maintaining an #apolitical face under immense pressure,” said retired Army Maj. General Paul D. Eaton. He added, “#PeteHegseth spent […]

Can anyone share their experiences with Linux phones? vs Graphene? I've had it with Google.

In latest NYT/Siena poll, 61% of registered voters responded that President Trump's actions pressuring media organizations that cover him unfavorably have gone too far.

This is not just about their hatred of DEI. Trump and Hegseth have explicitly told top military they should resign if they do not agree with all Trump and Hegseth say, which has included broadening the use of troops in U.S. cities. Go back and read the live blog in full. You need to know their […]

I just can't bring myself to watch this shameful authoritarian theatre and groundless scolding of the military's finest. No way.

Keggo wants a Putin style military, and we all see how well that is working out.
