Excellent breakdown of policing, why it exists, who it benefits, and why the police cannot as an institution solve any societal problem.

"We’re already seeing this logic embedded in regulations being pushed under the banner of “protecting children” or “national security”—rules that would, in practice, further concentrate control in ways that make both enshittification and despotification more likely, not less."

It isn’t just Palestinians – Western media is also ignoring shocking accounts of abuse from white Western activists detained by Israeli forces after an illegal raid on the Global Sumud Flotilla. We compiled 11 of the most disturbing testimonies. Read the full piece: zeteo.com/p/11-harrowi...

Great article by @emeliafournier.bsky.social for @therovermedia.bsky.social about sex work in Montreal. Sex Work Autonomous Committee (SWAC) is calling on strippers & erotic masseuses to go on strike during the F1 weekend on May 22-24. therover.ca/society-is-b...

So, @edzitron.com ate his Wheatties this morning

my gf works corporate and is on a training about AI and there's a word cloud for "what do you use AI for." the largest word by far is "Nothing" and the trainer is PISSED

Memphis is “under full-blown occupation” by ICE. Here’s why you may not know that.

At the same time that AI companies are trying to cash in on sexual and erotic chat bots, actual NSFW content is being cracked down on by financial institutions and politicians. Who gives a fuck about the actual humans getting paid to do kink work, I guess!

@theteamyriamf.bsky.social I'm loving this recent episode! It comes hot on the heels of multiple university graduation ceremonies where speakers were trying to extol the virtues of AI to deafening boos and jeers. I especially enjoyed Parable of the Turkey. youtu.be/dYDAbZpVuUU?...

Une source antifasciste a infiltré le clavardoir privé d'Alexandre Cormier-Denis et de ses abonnés les plus crinqués. Au programme: xénophobie et islamophobie, haine misogyne et transphobe et, bien entendu, un flot continu de propos dégradants à l’endroit des personnes immigrées et racisées.

Dena Takruri's report showcases a brave group of University of Southern California students who uncovered a contract the school had to sell corpses donated to the school for scientific research, which were instead used to train IDF surgeons (all without the knowledge or consent of the donors).

Crony Capitalism is just Capitalism, that's how Capitalism works. You call it Crony Capitalism to support the fantasy that there's a magical "true" capitalism that doesn't murder and exploit people as a load bearing structural feature but Nope! This is it! This is the Capitalism!

Huge thanks to @kattenbarge.bsky.social for joining me to debunk this absurd viral claim that “feminist” IG pages and newsletters have promoted to manufacture consent for some very dangerous policies

A CANADIAN Trump critic is suing the U.S. administration to stop them from getting his personal data from Google. After the user posted criticism about federal agents killing protesters, DHS asked Google for his associated names, addresses, phone numbers, credit card and bank information. Yikes:

Here's the thing about the Inquisitorius: they're meant to be less-than-formidable. It's done on purpose. They're pushovers *on purpose*. It serves the story and the role they play. It doesn't mean the characters are badly-written or inconsistent. They're supposed to be that way. #MaulShadowLord

Dr. Abu Safiya’s only “crime” was refusing to abandon his patients. And for this, Israel imprisons and tortures him. Justice for Palestine.

Israel’s murderous rampage across the Middle East will only accelerate because the majority of our government leaders are too corrupted to call it out. The journalists who dedicated their lives exposing the Zionist regimes heinous acts must never be forgotten.

...AND socialism. Livable wages AND socialism can prevent warehouse fires.

I don't usually agree with the FBI or their domestic terrorist policy these days, but I think they're right on this one actually. This is, in fact, a direct attack on their way of life and yes, they should be worried People can only be pushed so far. History is quite clear on that point

Israeli bombs that the United States paid for. It is unconscionable we continue to provide aid to Israel as they continue to murder civilians and violate international law in Lebanon, Gaza, and the West Bank. No more money to Israel’s genocidal apartheid regime.

Spanish PM Pedro calls for the IMMEDIATE ARREST of Netanyahu He said: "Netanyahu launched the worst possible unjustified attack against Lebanon. His contempt for life and international law is intolerable. He is a criminal that must be arrested immediately.” #cdnpoli

One of the strikes hit the building where I used to live, and another one hit one block over from my current apartment. Both in very normal residential neighborhoods. Israel strikes central Beirut without warning after saying Iran ceasefire doesn't apply there: apnews.com/article/isra...

If you've ever wondered why this is true, it's because right-wing media has billionaire sponsors and left-wing media does not It is truly that simple

Please support our union’s work toward a fair contract by NOT crossing our digital picket line! That means not visiting @ProPublica.org today, April 8. (And please resume your support of @ProPublica.org all other days, we love the journalism we do!)

Promises won't close Rikers Island. Action will. We're announcing the opening of NYC’s first Outposted Therapeutic Housing Unit at Bellevue Hospital for people in custody with complex medical needs, including critically vulnerable Rikers Island detainees. The journey to close Rikers has begun.

What tradwives and their husbands ultimately want is a D/S relationship. But because conservatism so heavily stigmatizes desire and sexual learning, they don't know how to have an honest conversation about it.

Lewis: “Our NDP has a different offer for this country. Our plan is to Trump-proof the economy by investing massively in Canadian economic independence using the unmatched power of public ownership.” “A network of public providers for food, phones, and internet. A public housing developer.”

No, the verdict in the ‘social media addiction’ lawsuit was not a win against big tech, it creates a legal precedent for mass surveillance, censorship, the total destruction of the open web. Go to badinternetbills.com and fight these laws!! 👈👈👈

Good. The companies deserved to lose. But don't let opportunists use this to push legislation that would make kids less safe while expanding censorship and surveillance www.fightforthefuture.org/news/2026-03...

Recently I've been getting memory flashbacks to the "controversy" that was the "15-minute city". The idea of a 15-minute city is that every resident ought to live within a 15-minute-walk-radius of where they can meet their regular needs: grocery stores, public transit, community spaces, etc.

Epidemiologists Confirm First Airborne Transmission Of Mar-A-Lago Face

Unpopular opinion, but if #NoKings is going to lead to the change we want, this has to be the last time it happens on a weekend. Any subsequent rallies must take place on a weekday, middle of the week, as markets are open. Make people miss work & school. Grind the economy to a halt, over and over.

3 yrs ago I started writing a book that is in stores TODAY. It's narrative nonfiction, anti-fascist spy thriller set in Trump era. It's timely as hell & I'm proud of it. A thread of what people are saying abt it & why I hope you'll help make it a bestseller www.simonandschuster.com/books/To-Cat...

Israel’s use of a nail and cigarette burns to torture a one-year-old child and force a confession from his father is a revolting moral outrage that demands immediate action from Congress. No child, anywhere in the world, should be subjected to such cruelty, especially with American taxpayer dollars.

A lot of people think showing an ID to vote seems sensible. But that’s not what the SAVE Act does. This bill goes much farther, making it harder and more expensive to vote for millions of people, especially married women. Allow me to explain:

Who are the men that have been using a white supremacist dating website…and what’s in their cringe bios? Well, a hacker in a pink power rangers costume nuked the website and dropped the user data online. Now, Hazel Woodrow at @antihate.ca is slowly revealing these dudes’ names:

“This is one of the most grotesque crimes of our time.”

The AI lobby has spent millions of dollars on today's Democratic primary elections in Illinois. Why? To buy itself a Congress that will do its bidding.
