why are there only 203 dungeon crawler carl fics on ao3??? did the lesbians not like DCC

New: 150 unionized ProPublica workers are on strike TODAY over AI, layoff protections, wages, and more. They're asking readers to not visit ProPublica or engage with content on other platforms. It's the first work stoppage of its kind at the newsroom. www.theverge.com/news/908401/...

ok I tested it again and I can confirm I don’t like fighting strangers on social media, no matter how tempted I am

the day when I get a good picture at a rally is still decades away, folks

organizers go where the people are 👏

7/ Florida’s constricting of the rights of pregnant patients is a striking exception for a state that has pushed to enshrine “medical freedom” for those who wish to avoid vaccines or fluoridated water.

When 3.5% of a population actively participates in sustained, peaceful protest, it can topple authoritarian regimes — like the one currently in the Oval Office. We need 12 million people to show up on March 28 to get to 3.5%. Will you be one of them? Find out how at nokings.org

Victoria Coren Mitchell’s Wikipedia needs an edit because this is not even above the fold

Trump *is* doing debt cancellation. It's just not your student or medical debts. In his second term alone, Trump has already canceled $1.5 billion of criminal debt — payments fraudsters owe the federal government and victims. They don't mind debt cancellation—for themselves.

Not to hawk @lytagold.bsky.social s Dangerous Fictions again but it's such a timely and thorough discussion if issues like this are on your mind.

DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August. He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA. The grift continues.

unclear to me why we need AI to tell us where to bomb. did they fire Jerry the Bomb Target Chooser.

no war but class war

Another big reason obsessive poll-sniffing is silly: “Public opinion” on most issues quite literally does not exist. It is an ephemeral artifact of the process of polling itself. Ask again a day later with slightly different wording & the numbers change radically.

It's called Operation Epic Fury because Hegseth can't spell Immanetize the Eschaton jonathanlarsen.substack.com/p/us-troops-...

the wuddering heights discourse has gotten annoying, casting dev patel would have saved us all these comment threads tbh (“stop reading it” make me)

@seattletimes.com why is this the one post on your Instagram page you can’t comment on?

1. it's not? 2. what's "true" in a very obvious sense is that they're going to try their best to MAKE it true and still replace every job they can with it despite it, again, not being true 3. it then follows that the way to "think seriously" about it is to be as skeptical & hostile to it as possible

MAKE AN EMERGENCY DONATION to Trans Continental Pipeline right now. They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate there and they are overwhelmed with requests. CO borders KS, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out. GO DONATE. tcpipeline.org

Because of the National driver register, since their licenses are suspended, trans folks cannot move to another state and get a new license until they remove the suspension on their existing Kansas license. They can't even escape this by moving to another state.

I love the voyager game, I chose Tuvix.

Du Pont family and corporation is so evil my brain can’t wrap around it. One podcast episode discussing the fire bombing is Dresden, the dropping of the atomic bomb, and Teflon….. one episode for millions of deaths, all made possible by Du Pont. Get screened for colon cancer, everybody. Teflon 🙃

Mamdani needs to live up to his campaign promises - not having the cops do the sweeps is an improvement over Adam’s’ admin, but this reversal from Zohran’s campaign promise will damage public trust in all his policy commitments, not to mention **cruelly affect unhoused populations**

Protest the New ICE Facility Outside Sabey HQ in Tukwila, WA. www.mobilize.us/southendindi...

In his confirmation hearings, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told U.S. senators that he would not cut funding for vaccine research or change the nation's official vaccine recommendations. He did both. n.pr/46QDn9p

Some children in Dilley were so distraught they cut themselves or talked about suicide, parents told ProPublica. They said kids lost their appetites after finding worms and mold on their food, had trouble sleeping, and were constantly sick.

So being a journalist in 2026 will get you: (A) arrested for covering protests (Don Lemon) (B) fired en masse by a billionaire (1/3 of WaPo laid off) or (C) murdered by Israel (over 200 killed since Oct 7th attacks) Great news for an educated republic that is able to defend against tyranny.

fucking hell

I don't like to talk about stories before they are fully reported, but I am writing on ICE in a Minnesota town that isn't Minneapolis. However bad you think it is, it is worse. It is a campaign of pure terror whose only strategic goal is more terror. There is no strategy other than to break people.

Is the Bridgerton intro animation this season bad or is it just me

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

People are right to be incensed, but there are more names to uplift. ICE killed an immigrant man named Silverio Villegas González in Chicagoland. He had children. Victor Manuel Diaz was kidnapped in Minneapolis and died in ICE custody on January 14. Their names deserve to be repeated, too.

We’re airing a new campaign ad, starting tomorrow. Here it is:

Just thinking about G.I. Robot for no reason in particular youtu.be/hJOAVQe3Vks?...

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

They murder a man in cold blood and wait around to watch him die. There is no hell hot enough. Abolish DHS. Impeach, convict, remove. Trials as soon as possible.

By who? Who shot the person dead? You saw the video. We all know a federal agent shot a man dead who was prone on the ground. Also, it's not "according to officials." It's according to verified video seen with your eyes. Not saying what anyone can obviously see with their eyes is a form of lying.

Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

TIM WALZ DO SOMETHING. TALKING ISN’T DOING.

ICE agent asked why he's taking pictures of a legal observer's car, replies: "Cuz we have a nice little database and now you're considered a domestic terrorist. So have fun with that."

It was inevitable.

so tired of the “no our child would never do drugs, they’re a good kid” conversation in medical dramas

AIPAC spends hundreds of millions buying primaries across the country. Now they’re trying to buy mine.
