still not quite over the fact that i watched 15 year olds get sued for millions of dollars for downloading twelve songs and now we all have to accept AI slop because every tech company in the known universe decided that IP laws don't exist now that they're inconvenient for them

There is no good billionaire. Every single one of them – yes even Beyonce and Taylor Swift :( – got their billions the same way any other did: exploiting the labor of workers in a cruel economic system maximized for the few to be able to do just that. The end.

If you were horrified watching elected leaders run & scramble because of gun violence, just imagine how my daughter Jaime felt in school running from an active shooter before she was killed. Now, become a part of the solution & only vote for people determined to address gun violence in America.

“Two can play at that game” is literally the Drebin quote here when he takes an innocent woman hostage to cluelessly fight the enemy

Current status of the Strait of Hormuz dispute

hmm

It pisses me off so much when I see those ChatGPT ads where someone gets advice for sticking to a running routine or opening a restaurant — all that information is stolen from folks who have done actual research studies, run trials, written blogs, published essays & books. Fucking thievery.

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to put on a tactical vest and go to the newark airport at 6 am on monday. your order is to wander around like a confused oaf. when a mom drops her sandwich at jersey mike's and scares you, pull out your gun and start shooting. good luck soldier

Every time I open a news app or site and this story isn’t being discussed or featured prominently I feel like I’m losing my mind. Do not look away.

me paying $30 in gas to buy imported things that have been hit with tariffs bc joe rogan is learning about politics at age 58

Hadn't seen this yet so i made it myself

A leaked email from the Ring CEO suggests that a long-term goal was to expand the 'Search Party' feature from finding dogs to 'zeroing out crime' in neighborhoods (via @404media.co)

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning. Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

I'm Kat Abughazaleh and I approve this message.

i have just gotten off a productive call with sauron where i laid out our requests - nazgul bodycams - morgul knife must remain sheathed unless suspect is determined to be carrying the one ring - shelob will be the new point of contact

Our government's atrocities are bringing together Bears fans and Packers fans.

The actual story is that a family of American citizens trying to evacuate from a neighborhood that ICE had made unsafe, and then ICE tossed munitions into the car, causing three kids to be hospitalized and a six month old to stop breathing. DHS called the family “radical agitators”

ICE rammed into a car at 34th and Park And then began to question the immigration status of U.S. Citizen Latino’s they crashed into. They also deployed chemical irritants into the eyes of the press. Abolish ICE now.

This morning, Ms. Rachel and I visited District 2 Pre-K Center, where we sang and read with the wonderful students and educators. We also discussed universal childcare - and how we're making it happen for NYC!

An off-duty ICE agent was just confronted in Minneapolis after people noticed a Nazi SS lightning bolt tattoo on his neck. If you’re proud enough to ink it on your neck, why are you running when people notice?

Great day to have functioning eyes and a working brain

Jacob Frey: "To ICE -- get the fuck out of Minneapolis"

“He was a dictator” fat nazis in plate carriers abduct your neighbors from the parking lot of target and send them to gulags.

just thinking about every american media outlet that said something along the lines of "legal experts say there is likely no legal basis for bombing venezuelan boats" and not HEY THIS IS FUCKING ILLEGAL AND AGGRESSIVE

here’s my official comment on the Netflix/WB news xx

Thankful to my Bluesky feed for giving me these two posts from @mamavitelli.bsky.social and @baronduki.bsky.social back to back

AOC on MTG retiring: "She's carefully timing her departure just 1-2 days after her pension kicks in and after making millions of dollars insider trading stocks for weapons manufacturers and others while in office."

being told “thank you for licking my boots” by your interview subject should be embarrassing right?

I received this email about Democrats caving to end the shutdown from one of the SNAP recipients I spoke to:

so much suffering and sacrifice only to to agree to terms that will beget more suffering and sacrifice.

Government is shut down. Chaos in airports. 42 million going hungry. 24 million face skyrocketing healthcare costs. Economy in turmoil. And the president of the United States is in the Fox broadcast booth calling plays for a football game.

Mamdani: "My message to ICE agents & to everyone across this city is that everyone will be held to the same standard of the law. If you violate it, you must be held accountable. There is sadly a sense growing that certain people are allowed to violate that law, whether they be POTUS or ICE agents."

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

their plainly stated goal is to starve forty million people until they get what they want, which is to rip health care away from millions more that this is too monstrous for most news organizations to tell the truth about does not change the facts

As SNAP hangs in the balance for nearly 42 million people, misinformation is rampant. Myths of laziness and fraud persist when we should be talking about too low wages for workers, income inequality, and our threadbare social safety net. In this guest post, Adam Chandler sorts fact from fiction:

Either this ends with some sort of truth and reconciliation process where a very large number of people go to prison for a very long time or we will take a short pause and then start doing it again, but worse.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion. As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

I am just so fucking proud of her.

Charlie Kirk: “God’s perfect law says gays should be stoned to death.” Liberals: “This is an honorable man who did politics the right way. Through debate, not calls to violence.”

All I'm saying is if this happened to someone like Hasan or something Fox would be running a Biggest Hasan Fails edit with fart noises added
