When the Trump regime started murdering Venezuelan fishermen for fun and the media went "cool!" and the Democrats went [shrug!] they knew they could do whatever they wanted from now on.

General strike general strike general strike. Collectively say NO! full stop end of sentence. Just stop.

"Francisco" sent this from where he was harvesting celery near Bakersfield CA. It was 42°, damp and cold when he began working at 7am. Walking through the celery and bending over to harvest it made his clothes damp and cold. He worked an 8 hour day earning CA min wage. #WeFeedYou

how many billions of gallons of water evaporated just this week for this?

I hate these charts so much because they imply chatgpt is comparable to the internet or phones You could create the same graphic for full screen pop-up advertising on websites and make them look like ultra-rapid technology adoption when really they were just baked unavoidably into the internet

The "alt" accounts are almost universally bad. Ranging from people doing cosplay to out and out grifters.

“maybe it will hurt some people” “maybe it will have bad outcomes” She wants to jail the parents of trans kids for seeking life saving care for their children. It is shocking how little regard you have for our rights and our lives.

Every time one of my mutuals with a larger follower count reposts my stuff I get work, sales, followers. Even smaller accounts sharing my stuff directly translates to making my life more financially secure. If you're ever wondering if your reposts count, they absolutely do.

How do you have a pro-democracy coalition if you are willing to negotiate on the rights of certain groups? Who will this pro-democracy coalition actually serve? (Answer: white men. It's always white men)

Alt text is like the director’s commentary track for an image; amazing more people don’t use it for fun

a type of funny you simply do not see anymore rip dude

While we should never forget that this was objectively hilarious, this story is also a serious warning about how AI is vulnerable to malicious training and prompts (although the prompts in this story made for great comedy) as well as the ease and authority with which LLMs can spread disinformation

Griefmaxxing

everyone grieves differently. which is stupid and inefficient. do better

I disagree with this, and playing realpolitik games with these people is how you end up with President Marjorie Taylor Greene in 2028. I'm not kidding. Hillary Clinton's campaign helped promote Trump in 2016 thinking his candidacy would help her cause.

9th Cir. has ordered the parties to confer about next steps in the Oregon and California National Guard deployment cases in light of SCOTUS' 6-3 decision holding that gov't likely does not have the authority to call up the NG in Illinois. Deadline is Jan. 7. cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/op...

There is this controversy about filming ICE agents onto social media. I think it is essential to eventually stopping ICE that all of these interactions be shared especially the words directly from their mouths because they are awful people and the public needs to see that

Quit giving JKR your money, and quit doing free promotional work by playing her properties on stream.

While we were busy with the US Congress, major international news on trans healthcare. A New Zealand court announced an injunction on the far-right trans health care ban there. The court says that the biggest danger is posed by banning care. Big story for us from @transvestigations.bsky.social

And if you're a trans ally, stop letting your anti-trans family members say awful shit at family gatherings, call them out for being bigots. Call your representatives! Protest! There's lots of ways to help, do what you can. Please.

Went to the gym to avoid watching the HHS news live because I knew it was going to be fucking awful. Unsurprisingly, I was right. Check on and support the trans folks in your life in any way you can, things are about to get much worse. Donate to trans folks you don't know if you can afford it...

🚨Pam Bondi just ordered the FBI to compile a list of American "extremists" and to establish a bounty fund to reward tipsters, per DOJ memo leaked to me: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/leak-fbi-l...

A leaked DOJ memo obtained by @kenklippenstein.bsky.social reveals an effort to build a list of supposedly "anti-American" groups and individuals, an escalation of the administration's crackdown on dissent. The list targets "not just the left" but "anyone who isn't a Trump supporter," he says.

There's a lesson in there for you, about how the censoriousness of major websites and how they'll arbitrarily deplatform or deboost you for using the "wrong language" has a major chilling effect on things as simple as communication, if you're willing to actually learn it

404media & TorrentFreak i actively love/follow/rec for this topic (and in general). Separate outlets to bug about Fakku only because they've mentioned them/J18 in the past: Anime News Network, Kotaku, crunchyroll, niche gamer, Comic Book Resources.

Her Listening Age was 16 you sick fuck

I know a lot of footage and commentary is swirling about today but it’s important to convey that the people who gathered outside that ICE garage in lower Manhattan were *so* ten toes down focused. This person who gets maced and just calmly flips the bird & keeps going is *quintessential.*

The scene now at Lafayette and Howard, diagonal to the ICE garage which activists remain camped out in front of on both sides of the building.

Here's a bitter pill to swallow: Most police shootings of Black men are not some secret klan member cop murdering for fun. They're a cop that is not intentionally racist, and a Black person that is not a violent criminal, having a cop + citizen interaction, in a system that is racist by design.

If you are tired of pie or want something to go WITH your pie may I offer this marvelous take on bread pudding, that I got to try while in Lafayette, LA earlier this month. www.latimes.com/recipe/zeas-...

One of my favorite labellers recently is @stechlab-labels.bsky.social. I have most of them turned off but Unfollowed 500+ yesterday is super helpful for spotting f4f accounts if it's not obvious already

With Woke 2 you’re allowed to do racisms again as long as they’re woke racisms.

Only eating food from cultures with no problematic history or culture (starve to death in five days).

They were told to by their bigot buddies at sex matters bsky.app/profile/shel...

In the span of a hour, they stealth edited the article from trans woman to "biological male who identifies as a woman." The BBC isn't fit for purpose.

I don't know the criminal standard specifically but Linehan did say *in court* that he was motivated by the victim's status as a trans person. If a clear statement of explicit prejudice isn't enough then you need a new standard. news.sky.com/story/bluesk...

A couple of my local libraries have restroom posters with the locations of certain topics. Librarians and libraries are fantastic and necessary.
