we bag on the boomers a lot, but they dealt with their mid-life crisis in a good and normal way (buying a red sports car and having an affair with their secretary) whereas Gen X is all "maybe this next genocide will finally make them bring back the square spongebread cafeteria pizza"

The opposition is WRONG ABOUT THIS, by the way. The most devastating moment of Biden's entire presidency was the Afghanistan withdrawal - a largely popular policy that he effected successfully with zero material impacts on Americans, but was covered as a disaster.

Also that recession never happened and there were no mea culpas from those who predicted it

UPDATE: Sunny, a U.S. citizen, is on her way home after being shipped across state lines overnight. How the hell did this happen? Press conference tomorrow at Broadview, where we will hear Sunny’s side of the story. More details soon.

We need cheap energy - in the form of renewable solar and wind. We do not need or want cheap gas, which poisons the world.

CBS obtained video of the DHS killing of an unarmed man in Texas that DHS concealed for nearly a year, which clearly contradicts claims that he violently rammed anyone. He is shot with his brake lights on, car not moving or barely moving. Another DHS crime.

NEWS: A Justice Dept. line attorney in North Carolina fabricated quotes in court filing, causing judge to order hearing to consider sanctions and holding entire US attorney’s office jointly responsible. Pro se defendant flagged the errors. news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/...

My grandfather, after a lifetime of searching, was never able to figure out where the Nazis killed his parents.

This DHS shit is very different from normal criminal justice. If you wanna know if your friend is being held at the county jail you can just call the county jail. The bureaucracy can be prickly and slow but they don’t just disappear people indefinitely.

We don’t talk enough about how morally depraved the tech industry turned out to be. Every single ounce of their self-regarding statements of values was an outright lie.

It's the middle of the night in Chicago. Reporters and electeds are trying to figure out why a US citizen was detained by CBP, why her phone was inside an ICE detention center tonight, and where she is now. Also unclear what happened to the other five people she was detained with at O'Hare airport.

every last one of these people need to be tried and jailed as the goons and criminals they are. No exceptions.

DHS claimed "an ICE agent had fired 'defensive shots' into Martinez's vehicle after Martinez 'intentionally ran over' another agent." But body cam video now "shows that Martinez's vehicle, a blue Ford Fusion, was stationary or going at a very low rate of speed when he was fatally shot."

the Austin mass shooter was a Tesla employee who assaulted a coworker during a company-allowed prayer break late last year the company refused to give the victim her assailant's name so she could press charges, and he went on to become a mass shooter www.statesman.com/business/art...

The federal government isn't a real thing and we should stop paying for it

Let’s talk about Graham Platner’s Big Lie, finally. In 2009, at the height of the Gulf War, the Marines barred him from active duty. Platner claims it was his forearm tattoos. But his one forbidden tattoo was the Nazi symbol on his chest. He knew - and he left the Marines rather than give it up. 1/

like i said this when the US attacked venezuela. we are hurdling back into an extremely violent world, one which hasn't really existed since the 1700s and which nobody since hitler has really tried to enact. and it's entirely on trump's hands

You should be able to criticize your government anonymously online. Full stop. "Age verification" legislation is just a pretty name for "forced online ID checks," meaning everything you post is associated with your government name We have to stop this. theintercept.com/2026/03/05/k...

AI companies need a *lot* of money for what they do. I am very skeptical that they can get that from any consumer facing product. Hence the Silicon Valley pivot to defense tech. Who has lots of money? The kind that can pay for compute and big models? Governments!

Evergreen consumer-facing business skeet.

Jesus Christ, man, you need to apologize for your craven cowardice on the nonexistent “DEI” panic, hire more people to fix the disgusting unattended shelves due to chronic understaffing, and stop making people need security to unlock a cabinet to buy underwear. This isn’t complicated.

In every Republican presidency of my lifetime there's been a recession and a new war in the Middle East.

I think they might have better luck spending two thousand dollars holding a press conference where they detail who made the key decisions to collaborate with the Trump administration, how and when they were fired, and explaining what would stop that from happening again.

Last month, 22-year-old Damaris Bello’s mother attended a green card interview—and was deported less than 24 hours later. Before the officers could handcuff her, Maria Estrada Juarez asked if she could hug her daughter one last time.

one thing that’s changed in the House (it started with the Tea Party when some real freaks started getting elected) is that there’s less cross-aisle camaraderie because people across the aisle are the kind of people you cross the street to avoid the Senate needs to learn this lesson

Kristi Noem’s firing is long overdue. She oversaw vile crimes against humanity and we’ll never forget it. But until ICE is abolished and expelled from our communities, we keep fighting. Lawless federal agents kidnapping and killing people on our streets can never be normalized.

I keep seeing posts about ai models like "actually they're good at this thing now!" but once you understand that ai tools are being built by fascists in service of attacks on humanity, whether or not they can generate useable code or do basic searches kind of stops being the main question

So far

Weird how this keeps happening! www.miamiherald.com/news/politic...

War is hell, but there is a special eternal hell reserved for people who would double tap a girls’ school, and it is our job to have scrupulously fair trials and then usher the people responsible for it there

The Massachusetts Department of Correction has been fighting me for months, trying to withhold data about its collaboration with ICE. Yesterday, I won that fight, and obtained records showing that the state has transferred more than 2,000 people into ICE custody since 2009. A quick thread:

Hey that’s about the cost of the SSI Restoration Act, which would cut recipient poverty by 60%, eliminate marriage penalties, and modernize draconian asset limits.

if you let anyone produce a sell peptides to consumers without a biologics license application and without any pharmaceutical controls (eg, prescriptions), it's just opening up an unregulated Wild-West category of biologics entrusted to snake oil salesmen

The thing about "Yeah he has a Nazi tattoo, and goes on Antisemitic podcasts, but he believes in Medicare for All" is...how hard to do you think he's going to fight for the "for All" part? Isn't much more likely he'll try to file down "All" into a contained group, a Volk if you will.

I'm teaching about early 20th century eugenics today and was reminded that 9 years ago Republican Representative Steve King was stripped of his committee assignments by his GOP colleagues for this post that simply states what is now bog standard GOP policy/rhetoric on immigration and "civilization."

But since we are there, having some uses for accessibility does not make it accessibility tech because accessibility includes thoughtful, transparent affordances for safety, wellbeing, privacy, and autonomy.

AI translated articles swapped sources or added unsourced sentences with no explanation, while others added paragraphs sourced from completely unrelated material.

Stories about the illegality of the Iran War under both international law and the US Constitution and War Powers Act have featured on the front pages of Süddeutsche Zeitung, El País, Le Monde and papers all around the world. Not, however, in major US papers. Something is seriously wrong.

I wish some major media outlets would do broad reports on the impact of death threats on our politics, and on who's doing them (MAGA men mostly from what I can tell), and why law enforcement appears to be doing so little about them. They are such a big (submerged) part of our politics now.

Polymarket has created a betting market on the use of nuclear weapons. Everyone involved in this should be put in prison for life.

If AI can do your departments work (it can’t) then can history please have your funding as we have a lot of work to do.

Kind of strange that in 1993, the president was someone who was born in 1946. And in 2026, the president is someone who was born in 1946.

This really ought to be terrifying. We literally have people making decisions to drop bombs in the grips of apocalyptic fantasies.

This is so good And the fact that it's a PSA...

A lot of people epically failed to accept the basic reality that the 2024 election was an election with huge moral stakes and a clear right and wrong answer (for a wide range of reasons). They now are twisting themselves into knots to protect themselves from accepting that moral failing.

You notice how quiet China has been? That's because you never interfere with an enemy who is in the process of destroying himself.

You know people keep making connections to the Iraq and Afghanistan invasions and one big difference is those weren't surprises.

It just doesn’t stop with Platner. Lying about a Nazi tattoo; dogwhistling Protocols of Elders of Zion; retweeting a Holocaust denier; and now this. Dont tell me this is converting MAGA. It is MAGA. www.yahoo.com/news/article...
