many ppl accidentally getting plastic surgery to look like Howard the Duck

i wonder why

Every decade of my career, the tech industry has come up with some new “disruption” that wrecks the livelihood of musicians, siphons off the money and then sells the narrative that this is better for us actually.

"Project Liberal" is run by Jason Pye, whose CV includes 7 years at Freedomworks, and Tyler Harris, who worked for the Libertarian National Committee for a half-decade. if you fall for this shit you're the biggest sucker ever born

Lina Khan is one of his advisors you know, the ex-FTC head whose efforts to do things like ban noncompetes (and her gender) "forced" all our rich tech execs to support abject fascist corruption

The woman being murdered in the video Trump posted was an immigrant. Her name was Nilufar Yasmin. She was from Bangladesh. Trump is weaponizing her death against communities like hers. Outstanding reporting from @pabloreports.bsky.social for Migrant Insider. migrantinsider.com/p/her-name-w...

It's been nearly five hours since the president of the United States posted a graphic snuff video of a man beating a woman to death with a hammer and there's no mention of it on the New York Times, Washington Post or CNN websites.

Trump has apparently just posted a video of a woman being murdered on his social media account. I am not watching it and you shouldn’t either. You should, however, call your reps and demand impeachment.

hey i don't think the president should be posting videos of people getting literally murdered on his personal or official social media in pretty much any context and especially not to try and incite a pogrom. seems like unpresidential stuff basically

Sorry but there's only one way "Trump" and "graphic murder video" belong together in a sentence and this one is not it

I just had an intrusive thought and filed the dumbest FOIA of my life. I’m going to get a horrified phone call from a hardworking public servant asking me to clarify it but I promise my intentions are good and wholesome. I will quote-tweet this post if it ever gets fulfilled.

nuclear annihilation has been postponed for two weeks bc the president had some gore videos he wanted us to see

Grandpa Nazi POTUS has discovered gore forums

Trump just posted a graphic video of a woman being beaten to death with a hammer

if i was bruce wayne's friend and discovered he's secretly batman, i think i would probably pass out from laughing at him so hard about the voice

Swollen RFK Jr. Warns Americans Not Eating Enough Bees https://theonion.com/swollen-rfk-jr-warns-americans-not-eating-enough-bees/

“Why aren’t college students protesting” stories are almost always wrong (they are protesting), omit crucial context (they were brutally punished for protesting before), and somehow suggest that 19 yr olds have more moral responsibility than elected officials three times their age

"Luddites" is a good term for those who oppose AI because the Luddites weren't against *all* technology, just forms of technology that they knew would pay workers less and turn out a shittier product

you hated them while they were happening!!!

Steakhouse chain expanding

pretty sure this one is my favourite tweet of all time

One thing city and state governments can do to help resist ICE is to mandate swift public release of bodycam footage any time police interact with ICE or CBP. D.C. passed a law like this and it's already uncovered an ICE shooting nobody had even heard about.

This promotion of a nazi radicalization clip comes on top of Tommy Allen regularly using a racist slur, saying he refuses to go to Black owned businesses, and wearing a Hammerz Down shirt, a band fronted by one of the founders of a white supremacist prison gang.

The depravity economy continues to solidify

"this seems like a legitimate misunderstanding"

For me, it's that he spent the last 4 years of his life pursuing Ona Judge who successfully escaped him: placing ads, sending agents to track her down, etc. I like thinking about that.

Absolutely. An audio medium is a great choice, sir.

fwiw I do not feel conflicted at all. the people boosting these opportunistic fascists are fucking morons at best.

ICE loves hurting and killing women.

I know folks get jazzed seeing Tucker Calson say things that are antiTrump, but this is not one of those enemy of your enemy is your friend situations. Trust

I am literally begging you... stop platforming & promoting fascists who say stuff you like. Stop platforming & promoting Tucker or Candace or Alex Jones etc. They will smile and talk about common ground and then kill people you're supposed to be in solidarity with. And they'll laugh as they do it.

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

Now's a good time to circle back on this

Move over, Baghdad Bob. Here comes Tehran Tim

my maga neighbour got laid off by his employer because of the fuel prices one day before the ceasefire

Also of note, Iowa paid Chris Rufo—perhaps the leading propagandist for the current assault on higher ed, an unqualified hack and admitted fabulist—$34,000 to speak. It's embarrassing that any higher ed institution would invite him, especially when they are cutting departmental budgets.

Did some mass murder and ended up with the most expensive tollway in the world. Art of the deal.

The more you love ProPublica, the more reason to not visit their site today.

your reminder that Ro Khanna spends his India visits palling around with literal nazis and supremacists and takes money from organisations affiliated with them for his political career and then comes and cries about the state of democracy in the USA for cameras

I hate that contract negotiations are not going better, but this is where we are. Today my colleagues and I @propublica.org are walking out. We need management to come to the table with more serious contract proposals that address our real concerns about discipline, job protections and fair wages.

I have encountered and engaged with many Trump supporters, hearing them patiently out each time: and every single one of them, whether beneath a veneer of politeness or not, exhibited a fundamental spite and meanness about their fellow human beings that I found horrifying.

A vote for Trump was a weapon pointed at the rest of the world. Everyone - yes, every single person - who cast that vote knew that and cast it anyway. The excuse of ignorance will not wash, because Trump's monstrosity was on every available broadcast and his voters indulged it. It's simple as that.

Americans suffer from a desperate need to believe in the inherent goodness of the American electorate--the idea that a voter in 2024--after nearly a decade of unfiltered, widely broadcast, deeply fascist rhetoric from Donald Trump--was simply "tricked" by a Facebook algorithm or a Fox News segment.

We did it. We went to Iran and ate many meals.

An 18-year old student photographer lost his eye after being shot in the face by feds at No Kings in LA last month. The local news is finally picking up the story, and of course the comments on socials are some combo of “FAFO” and “he deserved it” Been upset about this for weeks.
