Holy shit. Renee Good was alive when the bystander physician asked to check her pulse. She was alive when ICE refused to let him help. She was alive when they told him “I don’t care.” www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

New Hampshire living up to everything it's shown itself to be 🤮

Elizabeth Warren is one of the cosponsors of the Safe Sex Worker Study Act, which is a great bill that would study the harm done by SESTA/FOSTA. KOSA raises the same censorship issues as SESTA/FOSTA. So @warren.senate.gov gets it, she just doesn't care. www.erininthemorning.com/p/op-ed-with...

"if i leave the nazi sexual abuse app - the predators win" win what? a nazi sexual abuse app?

I'd argue this more accurately answers the question (I'm hoping) nobody asked: "How do dogs wear bondage gear?"

ICE’s entire mission is murderous. They routinely murder detainees in the shadows. Now they’ve murdered someone in broad daylight. They will continue to murder until we organize and build enough political power to stop them. It’s that simple. No one is coming to save us.

Congress, Now More Than Ever, Our Nation Needs Your Cowardice https://theonion.com/letter-to-congress/

Tech platforms censor words, not meaning. It’s frighteningly insidious. This kind of censorship explicitly empowers bad actors by robbing their critics of the language to criticize. Euphemisms are often the domain of fascists and predators. It’s a domain that online media wants to gate us inside.

RFK Jr is directly responsible for the deaths of 83 children in American Samoa from measles because he told them to stop vaccinating. Now, he's trying to kill trans kids. He's a fucking psychopath.

The First Amendment protects your right to speak and read anonymously. That's why age verification laws are unconstitutional. More importantly, they're immoral and they don't work. Privacy and antitrust legislation for xmas plz santa? www.biometricupdate.com/202512/judge...

I guess we can say Millennials killed CBS News

You don't need to think about what is "normal." You are you. One day, the world will come where there is no need to categorize people as LGBT🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 Until that day arrives, I will continue to send out this message. Your soul is beautiful.

OK, I can’t even begin to describe to you how fucking bonkers this is the gov is so fucking stupid, also please note what they chose to redact like why 🤦‍♀️ So recap here this is some Rando file by save the file directly from the government, copied it from Books and pasted it to Notes Epstein files

Worth noting that the student admits that she just threw the thing together in 30 minutes without reading the paper she was supposed to be responding to.

it would actually cost SO MUCH LESS to just do this instead of throwing trillions of dollars at technofascists too, who would've thought

i envision a utopian future for technology, where when you launch your computer there are no more programs, no more browsers, but just 4 buttons that say "Gamble", "Goon", "AI", and "Borrow Money At An Exorbitant Interest Rate"

i can't believe the number of people in my life who are enthusiastically using Chat GPT for therapy, to analyze text conversations with partners, get advice on disputes with neighbors etc. it's just autocomplete! it doesn't "know" anything and can't give you advice! please please don't do this

I feel like I'm going to get a lot of use out of this Pluribus screencap

Using driverless taxis is like crossing the picket line. Absolute scab behavior.

Can't have Game Corners in Pokémon games anymore because it promotes gambling as if using Stone Edge isn't gambling itself.

The owning class does not care a single iota for our well-being.

Holy crap chart from Gallup

Chekov and his gun would have fucking loved Home Alone

"Should we toss billionaires into volcanoes?" Yes "Should we launch oligarchs into the sun?" Absolutely not. We have perfectly good volcanoes on this planet and rocket launches as punitive punishment are unreasonably expensive.

No one can stop me from blasting the Initial D soundtrack at work 😤

One reason the NYT has burned its credibility with trans people is that they still cite the discredited Cass report in reporting on trans healthcare. Never the German, Utah, or other systematic reviews supporting care. They also never provide the political context behind restrictions in care.

Books are power charges for your brain.

All the anti-trans stuff this week (really, this whole year and the past several leading up to it — but especially this week) has taken a real toll on me. I feel so sad, scared, and angry. I feel like I don't belong in this world, and that really sucks.

"This promise of an AI future, is really just a collective anxiety that wealthy people have about how well they're gonna be able to control us in the future." - @tressiemcphd.bsky.social with an absolute mic drop moment about AI bullshit. Incredible words. Listen to all of it!

They want us dead, nothing less

Guy really gives away the game here that this isn't about "children" when he straight up says that trans adults aren't real.

I don't know who needs to hear this but withholding medicine from groups of people out of animus for their class is a UN textbook definition of genocide.

If Section 230 is repealed, it means we lose our core tools of protest. No more No Kings, no more @Indivisible or @50501 or ICE out of Home Depot coordinating across the country. We know, because we’ve already seen proof: forgeorganizing.org/article/how-...

Breaking: New bipartisan bill would make 2026 the year online protest organizing dies. Dems and R’s alike have just indicated they plan to end the first amendment of the Internet next year. Our statement: fightforthefuture.org/news/2025-12...

Guess I'll post this again

In a world without Section 230: 😩 Big Tech companies everyone hates would win. Giants like Meta and Google have armies of lawyers to navigate compliance 😩 Alternative platforms like Bluesky and Mastodon would likely shut down, along with Wikipedia, review sites, how-to resources, small forums, etc

Pediatric phalloplasty is something that takes place when there is severe genital injury or a congenital condition. I have not been able to find a single report of phalloplasty performed on a transgender minor. This is grotesque fear-mongering.

This is just the Hunger Games

NEW: They kept saying they were gonna do it and now they've done it A group of clowns (Senators) have introduced a bill to FULLY REPEAL Section 230. No reform, no replacement, just utter destruction of all online free speech. We can't let this happen. Share & take action www.badinternetbills.com

"they don't know how to express the idea" here's rian johnson's storyboard for knives out pick up a pencil and a napkin

(Children are not getting these surgeries) (Also, not sure where Oz has been looking, but he's way off on the costs, too)

Had the three Dems who voted for this held the line and voted no, they could have blocked it.

Capitalism works. And it's easy to understand. We invest our money in Nvidia so Nvidia can produce more Nvidia chips that Nvidia will sell to Nvidia.

Capitulating to Trump on gender affirming care is not risk free. It violates state and federal law to deny access to this care and providers should be on notice they are legally liable if they unlawfully deny care. www.gladlaw.org/connecticut-...

LinkedIn wrapped is absolutely cursed 😬 I've never been less interested in a notification.

Can everyone please stop shooting each other? Wtf
