Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens. Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.

Like I said

“This Journalist is not in the business of taking ICE at their word” is the most empowering thing I’ve seen in a long time.

BREAKING: Starbucks just announced a $1 billion restructuring and will close 59 unionized stores — nearly 10% of union locations. It includes the Roastery in Seattle, one of its busiest shops. CEO Brian Niccol made $100 million in four months last year.

one thing that is true for everyone reading this: unless something changes dramatically the number of people who agree with you on what basic facts constitute "reality" will shrink every year for the rest of your life

An obvious instruction to falisfy evidence being "Hey can you write anti-ice stuff on the bullets?" and the guy writing "ANTI ICE" is truly on the level of being told "make sure you put 3 sims in the staged picture of the Ukrainian spy hideout" and buying a few copies of The Sims 3. Very good.

it will never not be wild to me that there are actual human people walking around our neighborhood streets dressed just like this I think we need to continue to remind our brains that this is extremely not normal

If you were concerned about Kimmel, here's another for you… Journalist Mario Guevara has been detained for 100+ days, ironically arrested as he reported on a "No Kings" protest. The Trump-Vance admin just issued an order of final removal, to send him to El Salvador—where he fled from 21 years ago.

Genuinely powerful words to live by.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

🚨 With Democrat Adelita Grijalva's win in the Arizona House special election, Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie's petition to force a vote on releasing the Epstein Files will cross the 218 vote threshold. 4 Republicans will have joined 214 Democrats to make it happen.

you guys aren’t gunna like what, historically, people like you need to do to make the stuff you hate stop. i get the sense you’re gunna throw lots and lots of money at people promising that you don’t need to do those things. people who use that money to stay safe while you’re left out to dry.

if you have a Christian family you’ve been wanting to wordlessly abandon tomorrow would be a great day to do it

Like, I just hate remakes man. At least remasters are honest about believing the old thing had goals that were hampered by "old tech" or whatever. Remakes pretend to "reinterpret" the material whilst ONLY invoking cutting edge technology, photo-realism and homogenous game design dogma.

It's particularly the case among the Americans who are paid to decide which news is important, and who despite everything still can't bring themselves to accurately describe the fact that the president is serially murdering people and our systems are unable to stop him

No particular reason

I know this is going to sound stupid, but it’s actually true. Disney has been on a crusade of devaluing the visitor and worker experience at the park for well over a decade. It’s palpable how little regard they have for their customers and their workforce. I hope this is a tipping point.

Streaming has let us control what we watch and when we watch it but the fact that young people nowadays will never channel surf and find Godzilla vs Monster Zero at 1 AM is a tangible loss to the human experience.

Other people may have other experiences but I followed the instructions here and it took about three minutes, two of which were clicking 'other' on cancellation reason and typing my reason, and that I would return after a Kimmel reinstatement and apology. Super easy.

underneath all the doom and hideous stuff happening at the top of our country is a more inspiring story: regular Americans are not buying all this crap. and they're still willing to call the government out on it. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Yo Knights of Guinevere is SO GOOD!! You gotta go watch it right now! youtu.be/MCAdbUaMlAE?...

Samsung is now showing ads on some U.S. customers’ smart fridges. These fridges cost between $1,800 and $3,500. Samsung says the advertisement program is "enhancing every day value for our home appliance customers."

Folks, you can't report the United States to its manager. There's no superhero coming to save us. We don't need one giant act of heroism. We need millions of small acts of solidarity. Help one person in your community for nothing in return. Then, do it again. And again. That's the revolution.

The playbook is Palestine. Always been. If the fascists can convince you to look away, to stay quiet, to weigh the odds, to hesitate on speaking up -- about literal genocide -- the fascists can get away with anything. All they have to do is lie loudly, retract quietly, and do crimes relentlessly.

For anyone canceling Disney/Hulu, I'd 100% recommend subscribing to Dropout TV. The content they put out is way better than the slop that major streamers create these days, and its only $6.99/mo! www.dropout.tv/checkout/sub...

I cannot stress enough that capitalism’s primary function, above literally all else, is to structurally empower sociopaths. Every other expressed goal is secondary.

I don't think pointing out the fascists' 'hypocrisy' is a good use of time. It's not hypocrisy, it's hierarchy. They actually do believe that they have the right and obligation to dominate you because they are superior to you. They are using their power not being hypocritical.

Bruh

a key reason they see an opening for such a blatant speech crackdown is that they already did one to Palestinian and anti-genocide activists and it got enthusiastic bipartisan approval

Fun fact: Texas is a one party consent state when it comes to recording conversations, which means that you can legally record any conversation of which you are a part — and can share it with a journalist, such as me

*Indiana Jones punches a Nazi in the face* Terminally online losers: Is this an attack on Charlie Kirk?

Hey, I wonder if Germans have a single word to describe this complex process - oh, of course they do! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gleichs...

in light of the kimmel news, just a reminder that a few days ago a prominent fox news host literally called for killing homeless people. right afterward, someone shot up a couple homeless encampments. that fox news host still has his job.

Let me get this straight: you get cancelled for calling them fascists and get investigated for being anti-fascist

Call me radical, but I think we *don't* need to have polite chats with racists who are spewing conspiracy theories that keep motivating white supremacists to massacre our fellow citizens, and we *don't* need to have bipartisan deals with fascists trying to destroy our democracy and our government.

The Pokemon Go bug bit me and alas I work the perfect job to casually play this game throughout the day lmk if you wanna be friends I’m maxed on gifts constantly!!

any accounts on here with reliable updates on trey reed's story? such a heinous situation with seemingly very little information

You want to be alive, but they want you dead. We’re a new, well, funded democratic group that thinks you can meet them halfway.

The challenge to endure “difficult” ideas and speakers only extends in one direction. The pleas to tone down political violence only benefit one side. And it’s the side that is most violent toward marginalized people, which is granted bipartisan approval and protection

those who own and control large online platforms control the future, democracy, and truth

live your life so that when you die everyone talks about how hot you were and not how you were a hateful bigot

BREAKING: The terrorism counts against Luigi Mangione have been dismissed as "legally insufficient" by a New York judge. Mr. Mangione, 27, is still charged with second-degree murder and that case is expected to proceed.

Remarkably blunt words from United Nations officials who just declared Israel is committing genocide: "Gaza will be with me for the rest of my life." "Netanyahu, like everything he says, is simply lying." "The treatment of children, the amputation without anesthetic…That will haunt me forever."

Do not assume that everything they set out to do is inevitable. They have been successfully fought on multiple fronts, from courtroom wins that have actually stuck to city and state governments that haven't backed down, to activists in the streets organizing against their violence.

It’s telling that it’s mainly cis, straight, able-bodied people crying, “How dare someone lose their life over politics!” That reaction shows they’ve never had skin in the game. For them, politics is abstract. For the rest of us, politics is survival—how we navigate the world just to stay alive.
