BREAKING: We're suing to stop Texas school districts from displaying the Ten Commandments in their classrooms. A judge in our separate case already ruled that schools putting up these posters are violating the First Amendment.

“This Kimmel situation does feel like a turning point, and not because comedians are important — but because we are not.” youtu.be/ohPToBog_-g?...

This is a straightforward argument for fascism. "The lefties are decadent and won't change unless the state pressures the institutions against them."

Giorni dopo, quel che resta è il solito modello per cui le idee più estreme prendono il centro della scena e diventano l’ancora per tutta la “conversazione”. È così che l’estremismo diventa “normale”. Vannacci non ha insegnato niente, come niente insegna alcunché in questo disgraziato paese.

Big Tech's embrace of President Trump has left many of us wondering: What the hell happened to Silicon Valley? In our new politics issue, we're getting into it. Also, we're taking this cover across the US in billboards, posters and a mural. Clues to find us in the 🧵: www.wired.com/politics-iss...

At Charlie Kirk’s memorial, Trump broke from the overall message of forgiveness, declaring he “hates” his opponents. “[He's the] only man in America ... who could get away with saying something like that at a moment like this,” @adamwren.bsky.social says on #playbookpod. 🎧 ow.ly/f96V50X09Q6

Six years too many in prison but thank god he’s finally free

This really reflects how technocratic neoliberal logic has captured the centre of political spectrum. The argument against it is not moral or ethical, it's on cost and feasibility grounds. It's the logic of managing the numbers is what gets you elected.

As noted below, there's unfortunately decades of precedent, notably the Obama-directed targeted killing campaign, the kind that saw weddings bombed with the dead given as "roughly 30" almost every time. From the war on terror we're now on terror without war internationalpolicy.org/publications...

Eh ma l’escalation è tutta colpa delle democrazie europee cattive cattive e dell’Ucraina invasa che è guerrafondaia dai 🤡

Nel mio mondo ideale accanto a ogni bandiera palestinese dovrebbe sventolarne una dell’Ucraina.

Fa veramente spavento, ovunque ci si giri ci sono solo mostri

Automated mass surveillance everywhere, to solve everything “inspectors who chase down tax cheats with the help of drones, big data, and live surveillance feeds from as far as Greece’s island ports and remote farming villages” www.euronews.com/next/2025/09...

"Non vogliamo che il popolo di Pontida venga sostituito da quattro ‘mao-mao’ con la barba lunga". "Non ci rassegniamo alla società meticcia che vorrebbe qualcuno". "Lega anti-maranza, la remigrazione avanza". Queste sono alcune frasi pronunciate a Pontida. Chi alimenta il clima d'odio in Italia?

Per capirci: questa incapacità di chiamare le cose col loro nome non solo normalizza, ma seduce. “Distante dal politicamente corretto” sembra un valore, anti-conformismo, ribellione. E infatti a furia di eufemismi ormai si dice in pubblico con vanto ciò che era confinato alle fogne della storia.

Ah ora si chiama “lontano dal politicamente corretto” chi dice cose razziste, capisco

“L’hanno ucciso perché cristiano” (no). Il vicesegretario del secondo partito di governo che definisce Bella Ciao “un inno alla sopraffazione”. I paragoni con MLK. Tutto è apparecchiato per la repressione anche in Italia.

I joked the other day that all the Post's editorials are just "what if this bad thing were actually good," and will you look at that

Wow... what chaos.

This does not look like “impartiality”. It looks like propaganda. www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/how...

This is why they had to invent ‘Antifa’, as an organisation.

Surprise surprise, hm, not really. www.computerworld.com/article/4059...

At the same time that it becomes common to see the toxic effects of forming a relationship with these technologies, the companies are becoming more dedicated to finding ways to perpetually drip poison into your ear.

Bardella al Corriere ripete il frame adottato da tutto il fascistume trumpiano nel mondo. Quel pagliaccio arancione è già il modello per la repressione autoritaria anche in Europa. E i “conservatori” non vedono l’ora.

Trump posts a deranged message to Pam Bondi pressuring her to prosecute his political enemies after a U.S. attorney quit because he refused to fabricate charges: “We can’t delay any longer, it’s killing our reputation and credibility.”

lot of people immediately able to grasp why this is bad still making excuses for posting on twitter

Uh. So?

The fact that nearly half the country has been duped into a 4chan trolling operation that pushes a completely false narrative that there is some trans terror cell is actually terrifying An ounce of research quickly reveals that this isn’t true, but people can’t resist low-effort sensationalism

It’s been sad this year watching how the White House press corps refuses to back each other up. Here a female journalist is insulted and denigrated and the next male reporter just moves on to a new question. You’re all in this together, folks. Time & again, they won’t stand up for their colleagues.

Non vorrete mica dirmi che era tutta una scusa per eliminare l’opposizione, come in un regime qualunque? E poi chi lo dice ai nostri analisti-fenomeni da prima pagina?

The past week really mattered in a way that I’m not sure has been totally processed yet

Failing to defend our rights never leads to keeping those rights. Every single human and civil right has to be fought for against erosion, even when you think those rights are guaranteed. Our institutions keep refusing to understand this.

Anti-immigration demonstration in the Netherlands escalates. This is exactly what happens when far-right ideas are tolerated and normalised over an extended period of time. The far right gains confidence and grows, both at the ballot box and in the streets. nos.nl/artikel/2583...

Just days after a far-right majority in the Dutch parliament asked the government to designate “Antifa” as a “terrorist organization”, far-right “protesters” shows yet again that they are the real threat to public order in the Netherlands.

This logic, and this level of “evidence” is used to build gang databases throughout the country.

When speaking to Tommy Robinson at the far right demonstration in London today, Elon Musk wore a t-shirt saying "What would Orwell think?" So let's dive in - what would George Orwell think about Tommy Robinson and Elon Musk? 🧵

btwn the state sponsored censorship hypocrisy and stuff like this it really feels like a theme of being alive right now is power feeling like it doesn’t even have to try - just treating everyone with obvious contempt
