Considering how many Republicans smoke weed it's difficult to see this as anything other than a way to target certain people for gun ownership who the Trump Administration doesn't like

Each AWS outage is a chance for people to reevaluate whether billionaires should be allowed to exist, and each time this test is cut short when the entertainment comes back on.

Every AWS outage makes it extremely, painfully clear that consolidating the entire Internet in the hands of one fucked up billionaire is not a good idea. And then it's resolved and everyone kind of forgets about it til the next time. And the next time, their fridge stops working because of it.

Each outage reveals how much infrastructure has been captured by one weird freak, one single freakish country under the rule of literally the worst fucking guy. And then the next outage even more stuff has been put in that basket.

AWS outages are interesting because each time it affects more and more disparate things, each is a snapshot scan of the metastatic cancer infecting the internet.

ok so quitting our jobs is bad, staying but slacking is bad, and staying and doing the work but just not really loving it is -- wait for it -- yep that's also bad

If your “big tent” includes people who literally want to eliminate entire demographics who should be in that tent, your tent is shrinking like a wool sweater in the dryer on high

You want us all in the same tent but you won't mask up to protect disabled people so no.

You know this is a lie though. You know the ppl who would be invited to the tent hate the ppl who you're trying to lecture. You KNOW this.

Except this is pretty much what liberals have done. They've approved genocide, in its multiple forms it's either taking or will take (Palestinians, Trans people, etc.)

When the Big Tent actively undermines your cause, then no, that is not “intellectual dishonesty”, it’s that the Big Tent doesn’t fucking include us. Neither is genocide an issue it’s morally acceptable to compromise on. But you did lead off with “ideological purity” so we know you’re full of shit.

Intellectual honesty like pretending your nevertrumper friend who is mostly terrified of appearing too racist to be invited to the Martha's Vineyard parties (while still loving Ronald "welfare queens "Reagan) are representative of a wellspring of gettable voters in seats that matter.

Privileged commenters such as Melissa are always hindered in their perspective by their privilege, such that they can't see that demanding a "big tent" ALWAYS, INHERENTLY means subsuming "the causes we care about" (AKA our human rights!). You won't fool us with this scolding sanctimonious bullshit.

it’s almost like too much of the internet depends on us-east-1 or something. whatever, if it stays down i can stay in bed tomorrow.

is that a us-east-1 monitoring dashboard in your pocket or are you just happy to see me

the AWS outage touching everything on the internet really goes to show how there is no ethical consumption under late capitalism, because you can't really avoid making billionaires richer.

Simplest I can put it about existing US expressions of dissent is this: "Good start. Demand more. Question what led to this point maybe?"

Wondering what they mean by Marxism here

This family needs your support.

They are SO fucked.

Average centrist dickhead: "Antifa in 1930s Germany were emphatically not the good guys" The idea that centrism is less reactionary and dangerous than the far right doesn't hold up...

you can't disrespect cops enough they all fucking suck just privileged protected assholes at every moment

"But when the team looked at the employees’ actual work output, they found that the developers had completed tasks 20% slower when using AI than when working without it. Researchers were stunned. “No one expected that outcome. We didn’t even really consider a slowdown as a possibility.” 🎁link

🚨 ‘SWASTIKA NAZI’ Positive ID as MARC MACLEOD of CITRUS HEIGHTS - ASATRU FOLK ASSEMBLY. ID confirmed through collaborating data collected by Antifa Sac, who has followed his activity for years! Info reposted by @anarchistfederation.net www.anarchistfederation.net/marc-macleod...

IMHO, you can’t understand what’s happening to the US if u don’t know about the “network state” movement & its “parallel establishment” strategy, which includes building “parallel societies” (w/ their own physical territories) & “parallel institutions” in media, education, finance, science, etc. 1/

“If you’re taking my tax dollars, you don’t deserve a house. You should be in an institution”. Many people feel this way about disabled folks & housing It’s beyond misguided We aren’t “taking” anyone’s taxes. Taxes support society Institutions cost the taxpayer MORE while robbing us of autonomy

ok like wrt like "leftists have a messaging problem leftists need to be nicer" it's like at some point what the fuck am i supposed to do for you bitch. you're a 37 year old college educated woman scared of mexicans and transexuals so bad u wanna kill them what am i supposed to say to you girlie pop

you also need to stand up for the rights and dignity and humanity of women you don't happen to find attractive or you need to live in fear of me for the rest of your life :)

ICE kills family dog after breaking into home of U.S citizens without warrant because they got an anonymous tip the family was hiding "illegals" kfoxtv.com/news/local/e...

If you see ICE agents, Illinois State Police, or Chicago or suburban police engaging in immigration enforcement or misconduct this weekend, file a complaint with COPA, Cook County, or the IL Inspector General and let us know. If you have video, here's how you can share it with us:

In her first interview since he was killed by federal agents, Silverio Villegas González's partner Blanca Mora talked about the impact his death has had on their family. Be sure to read this moving piece by Alma Campos about Silverio's final journey back to Loma de Chupio, Michoacán.

Reminder that this fundraiser is still active and funds are still needed. If your interested in combating fascism, this is a very worthwhile use of funds (far better and dollars will go further than donating to no kings or national campaigns)

Great to see this published and out there. It's a simple paper that shows us that folks with #LongCOVID, #MECFS and other complex chronic illnesses can benefit from using symptom tracking apps like Visible, designed FOR patients, BY patients. www.frontiersin.org/journals/dig... 1/

Hey y'all — could really use some help. Finances are more than tight. Electric is heading for a shut off. More importantly, the cat and dog are going to run out of food before next payday. I know we're all struggling, but please, anything helps. conundrum9999 on venmo and cashapp

If you want to understand why antifa activists are comfortable with using force against fascists, you need to be aware that the fascists routinely train and build networks through fight clubs that train them for street combat.

Patriotism won't save you.

wait so how were we supposed to form anti-authoritarian blocs at this???

Anti communist club/anti communist action have always been dog whistles used by anti semites to more sneakily advance a white nationalist agenda. This is a nice break down of that history

This feels like a good time to share this map of mini free pantries located all over the country mapping.littlefreepantry.org

The "sit down wave" meme again circulated on Bluesky prior to the October 18th round of No Kings protests. This time around, the unwise and unsafe advice to sit down during violence at protests was largely drowned out by leftist and liberal accounts debunking the bad advice in question.

The largest mass protests by number of participants in US history happened yesterday and the only mention on the front page of the NYT is Jamelle Bouie's opinion column: no diner-diving for sentiments of the unheard masses, no coverage of the Trump video, no sense for what it says about the moment.

I personally said not a word on here about the ceasefire because I am old and I know Israel.

Reminder that the US under both R and D administrations sent billions of dollars in weapons to Saudi Arabia, including illegal cluster munitions, to kill Yemeni kids. And the US, under both R and D administrations, is still sending billions of dollars in weapons for the UAE to do genocide in Sudan

Geo Group is abusing prisoners in Portland, Oregon ICE.

I’d like Americans to start doing the “no god” part of “no gods, no kings.”
