They’re doing this because it’s so successful

Guys, there's no evidence ICE is buying guided warheads. The contract in question is for normal distraction devices, the kind they've been using for years.

folks is it good when your AWS bill is 100% of your estimated revenue

Ahem www.burnsnotice.com/gopers-have-...

Hey @govpritzker.illinois.gov, you need to do something about these ISP goons attacking protesters like @katmabu.bsky.social.

it happened again www.burnsnotice.com/democrats-mu...

Jesus christ. AI coding platform Augment code had to jack up prices because 22.5% of their users were spending 20x of what they paid, and even after raising the prices, they're still running at a loss. reddit.com/r/AugmentCod...

1. Yesterday, the press gave Gavin Newsom favorable coverage for signing pro-LGBTQ+ bills. Little noticed, however, was that he vetoed one of the most important ones: a bill allowing trans people 12 month HRT stockpiles, protecting them from federal threats. Subscribe to support our journalism.

My piece from this weekend applies also to Azeen Ghorayshi's work at the NYT. truthout.org/articles/ant...

It certainly appears the United States murdered an innocent fisherman who was a husband and father to four children, claimed he was a "narco-terrorist," posted a video of the execution, and then made jokes about it

I think I often get maddest when people say "oh I'd be sympathetic to (x) cause, if they'd just follow the rules" or "they're not doing themselves any favors acting that way". Using hall monitor nerd shit to avoid taking a stance is functionally the same as taking the other side.

A quadrillion times this, PLUS No one is doing well right now, hetero relationships tend to hinge on women doing all of most of the emotional labor, and I suspect that a lot of women have decided they simply do not have the emotional bandwidth for that at the moment given *gestures broadly*

Dems abandoning trans folks has now allowed for a million dollar ad buy for this disgusting ad by American Principles Project in NJ and VA casting trans people as school shooters and violent threats to children. It was never about fucking sports.

I don’t think I’ve ever loved anything as much as ICE loves violently attacking women.

Republicans, Trump included, are zeroing in on transgender people and blaming us for the looming government shutdown. They are demanding that Democrats cave on transgender rights. Many of them are copying the same talking points in their messages.

The anti-trans side constantly used this exact and talking point about a 4000% increase in trans youth. Similarly, there was a change in diagnostic criteria along with increased access to care. It's the same exact playbook.

Say what you will about the general quality of goods we have here in the United States but it's undeniable we have the freshest hells on the planet.

At the Nuremberg trials, Karl Dönitz was convicted of war crimes for the sinking of civilian vessels. This is not a complicated question, it's been illegal for centuries.

Tatiana Maslany posted an image on Instagram “with text overlaid that says “cancel your @disneyplus @hulu @espn subscriptions!” Marisa Tomei, who played Aunt May in Spider-Man movies distributed by Sony & Avengers movies from Disney, reposted a call to “unsubscribe and boycott” Disney platforms.”

Media execs have fallen prey to a propaganda and harassment campaign that has completely divorced them from what people actually want right now. Both their insular information environments (group chats, podcasts) and ambient noise (Twitter reactionaries) have put them in a very stupid bubble.

This is correct. Any candidate cynically “triangulating” on trans kids is a non-starter, and now is the time to say so. There’s still so much time to advance candidates that DON’T suck.

i guess not I'm surprised that Ken Jennings is really good here, i just wouldn't have predicted the host of Jeopardy being a voice of moral courage on this specific issue.

Republicans: We’re not fascists. Also Republicans: If you call us fascists we will lock you up.

Glad the vice president of the United States, whose salary my taxes fund, is using his position to *checks notes* attack me on the Charlie Kirk show.

In a Hitleresque speech, JD Vance says there can be no unity with the left and vows to use the government to dismantle non-profit NGOs and liberal civil society who he says promote violence and terrorism.

Set aside Sen. Mike Lee's storm of lies and incitement here. Lee literally made jokes on Twitter about the fmr Speaker of the Minnesota state house being murdered in her home by a right wing extremist. Hard to imagine any more twisted and malicious person in public life.

We’ve been living through 72 nonstop hours of this exact tweet

Before the Nazis engaged in mass murder of Jews, they did mass murder of people with mental illness and disabilities.

"…and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel.”

Y'know that Guardian article which cited an anonymous friend of Tyler Robinson claiming he was the only "leftist" in his family? It just got updated after the "verified source" decided he couldn't remember his "relationship" with the accused shooter well enough to be quoted

Shout out to everyone only now learning that "Albert Einstein was reclusive at the end of his career, shunning public engagements." Really meant, "For the last *20 years* of his career, Einstein opposed US racism by only speaking publicly at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

As a heads up this is disinfo. The rifle used is suspected to have been a 30.06. Turan (the company that makes the pictured bullet) only makes up to 5.56 rifle caliber rounds. So unless the feds are wrong about the caliber of the rifle they found (unlikely) this can't be an explanation.

If the shooter had killed a leftist podcaster, he would have a multi million dollar Go Fund Me to cover his legal fees tomorrow, and an interview lined up with Charlie Kirk.

The left isn’t “dancing on Charlie Kirk’s grave,” we’re just pointing out that, thanks to rhetoric like his, a lot of other graves exist.

This is a Melissa Hortman appreciation account for the next 24 hours.

The people wondering "how could anyone who isn't a professional escape after a high profile daylight assassination" are forgetting two things: 1. Cops are bad at their jobs 2. The FBI used to be somewhat better at their jobs and were recently gutted by political layoffs

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city. This is not a joke. This is not normal. Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

One of the consequences of this Tylenol causes autism fuckery is pregnant people are going to lose out on a pain relief option. You can’t take ibuprofen/advil when you are pregnant. So of course they are gonna force you to be pregnant and suffer the entire time as much as possible.

The President of the United States just essentially declared a war on Chicago because — wait for it! — Black and Brown people live here. This is not normal. This is not okay. And we are going to fucking fight back.

How many people gonna die because some women laughed at these guys‘ dicks

Oh my god, Trump actually got the NRA to come out to defend trans people owning a gun.

Every step of the way we've been told we're too loud. Every step of the way we've been told we ask for too much. Every step of the way we've been told we're selfish. Every step of the way we've been told we need to compromise. Every step of the way we've been told we're not human anyway.

It's just a sports ban. It's just a bathroom ban. It's just a healthcare for kids ban. It's just a military service ban. It's just a federal jobs ban. It's just a university housing ban. It's just a passport & visa ban. It's just one Constitutional right. It's just your status as free citizens.

This would not be exceptionally difficult to do. They could get HHS to declare people with gender dysphoria as "mentally incompetent" under 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(4) and federally funded providers to report all patients with such diagnosis to the NICS database to disqualify gun ownership.
