California has now banned algorithmic price fixing. The state has outlawed the practice of landlords colluding to raise prices using rental software and AI. This is a huge victory for renters in the biggest state in the country.

I wrote about Democrats demonstrate moral cowardicd and shameless hypocrisy when they support Andrew Cuomo. open.substack.com/pub/ser1897/...

‘It’ being ‘war with Iran’, I assume? 🙄🫠😬

Am I missing something or is it very unclear what “it” means here

Joe Biden and the 2021 Democratic caucus had only one job really and it was purging the entire insurrectionist party from office as quickly as possible by any means necessary.

WE CAN MAKE THE INTERNET FUN AGAIN THAT IS WITHIN OUR POWER MAKE A WEBSITE PUT ALL YOUR DUMB SHIT ON IT SHARE IT

A succinct synopsis of the great post-Floyd “racial reckoning,” captured in a single headline www.theguardian.com/news/2025/ju...

Zohran: rips “Trump’s unconstitutional military action Cuomo: *joined Netanyahu’s defense team*

I was on the wrong side of history in 2003 & I will not be on the wrong side again

Trump is gonna say he did it for the Jews and you better fucking not believe him.

I am begging people not to look to the NYT for coverage of what's happening. The BBC, Le Monde, Ajazeera and others will have more truthful coverage.

3. Sorry - one more thing. If you're wondering why call Congress? This matters, especially if you have a Republican member. They like to pretend they're the party of national security. Embarrass them. Demand to know why they didn't know about this. Ask how they feel having their power stripped-

*emptying an AR-15 into my neighbor's house* NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE

Everyone running for public office needs to unequivocally say whether they support Trump’s attacks on Iran — attacks which put hundreds of millions of lives at risk. My answer is an unequivocal NO and there’s no excuse for a candidate to say anything different.

@schumer.senate.gov @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social have you found your backbones yet or are we doing more Islamophobia

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

ICYMI senate subcommittee begins review Monday of the budget that would kill the National Endowments for Arts & Humanities if you’re in Oregon (or AK, GA, KY, MD, ND, NE, NM, NY, OK, SD, WI or WV) we’ve got info and call scripts to help you contact your senator (yes, even Republicans!) before 6/22

if i can be y’all’s dad for a second: one of the most important things I’ve learned is that acquiring a skill is literally uncomfortable that awful moment where you feel confused and stupid and embarrassed? it means you’re about to learn something. and it’s *mandatory* if you want to get better

Kirsten Gillibrand is on this subcommittee — FYI New York residents.

Not a bit; recent study shows LLM users genuinely just have less brain activity overall because of LLM usage: arxiv.org/abs/2506.08872 It literally is a machine that makes people dumber. Safe to say that the long-term effects are probably even worse for kids.

If I want apples and you want oranges a compromise is "let's pool our resources and buy both so our needs are met" If I want apples and you want to shoot me in the head, the compromise can't be "I get an apple but you get one free shot at me"

I have a huge request for my readers: Trump's tax and spending bill will be moving through the Senate. Senators can invoke the Byrd Rule to try to remove the anti-trans Medicaid ban and EHB changes. You can find and call your senator here and ask them to do that. Please share as well.

This happened because of you. You protested at TeslaTakedowns and made his name and his company’s product reviled. You protested outside federal agencies slated for DOGE cuts. You barred doors, protected data. You sued and won. You WORE HIM OUT. Don’t let them spin it any other way.

I know many people my age still have a lot of nostalgia around Harry Potter and might be tempted to watch the new HBO TV series. Please, I'm begging you, do not tune in. J.K. Rowling is singularly motivated. The new Harry Potter series is a cash cow intended to fund anti-trans bigotry.

The not posting on the internet part is VERY vital. And I know in recent years a culture of "if you're not posting you're not doing anything" has bubbled up, but for real guys. You need to be thinking. And planning. And never putting it in writing on the internet. Protect people. No matter what.

When I write about uncomfortable things, I'm not trying to be entertaining. The events are there because that's how the story goes.

Conservatives believe free speech is when they can say what they want and when you can say what they want. bsky.app/profile/atru...

My doctor changed my diagnosis to "Endocrine Disorder" in November without me asking--because he saw the writing on the wall. Ask your doctors to do the same--Just to protect your access to life-saving medication.

It matters. Call. (202) 224-3121.

Just called Gillibrand and Schumer to demand they not only vote against the murderous Republican budget bill, but that they deny unanimous consent at every opportunity and do everything else they can to gum up the works. This is intolerable. Find your senators here and make your own calls: reps.fyi

SCOTUS just blocked the first taxpayer-funded religious charter school. Oklahoma wanted public dollars to run a virtual Catholic school—with required religious instruction. The court split 4–4. Barrett recused. Trump backed it. Church and state? Still separate—for now.

The basic thing I want people to understand is that there is effectively no noncitizen whom the administration can’t find a compliance error with if they go fishing. It doesn’t matter how scrupulously you’ve tried to “follow the law,” it is such a minefield that there is always going to be something

MAGA MURDER BUDGET

I was just informed that this passed the House a few hours ago and now heads to the Senate. Get up. Call your representative. Demand they do everything they can to ensure the trans people they represent are not lost. Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up. NOW.

Conflating Zionism with Jewishness is anti-Semitic Most Zionists are white evangelical Christians

Important context from the article: "Now ma-and-pa's deposits are FDIC insured, so they'll be alright, but it means the FDIC's Deposit Insurance Fund is footing the bill. In other words, the GENIUS Act is subsidizing stablecoin issuance on the back of bank deposits."

Democrats shrink the federal deficit and Republicans explode it and the entire media apparatus tells the exact opposite story, and now a bunch of vultures who have only ever robbed us and left us bleeding by the side of the road enjoy comfortable leads in most public opinion polls on the economy.

You can tell it's a Republican bill because if it was a Democratic bill the headline would highlight the $3.8 capital-T Trillion it is adding to the federal deficit in the most breathless terms imaginable, and the entire article would be devoted to wondering how it would ever be paid for.

In the moment, people tend to blame people for taking actions that antagonize violent and genocidal governments and bring down repression. In retrospect, however, those actions are easily understood as morally justifiable, even if they aren't necessarily strategic.

In 1938, a stateless Jewish teenager in Paris named Herschel Grynszpan went into the German embassy and shot a diplomat from the Nazi regime. He was arrested and disappeared. The Nazis used this action as the pretext for Kristallnacht, the most famous pogrom in history.

God. I guess I’m going to have to add ‘going to my rep’s office every day to demand she not vote to murder my little brother’ to my long ass list of to-dos

A VERY important point -- this bill is not final, not at all. It will now go to the Senate. If the Senate makes changes to the bill (they likely will), it will go back to the House for another vote. The House passed it last night with ONE VOTE. We can stop this. We have to.

I understand this will sound hyperbolic but it's more accurate than not to say anything you care about, this bill seeks to destroy.

Hey y'all! @billieiswriting.bsky.social has been writing an incredible review series about Dr. Preston Sprinkle's book, "Embodied". I've just published my first contribution to it, picking up with the chapter "Interlude". You can find it here! www.celestefinally.com/p/the-sweete...
