Spotify Wrapped is usually a fun way to reflect on what you’ve listened to over the year and share your tastes with friends. But it hits different when it’s paired with propaganda for Trump’s deportation machine. Use our social toolkit to share the truth about Spotify: app.sosha.ai/toolkit/spot...

Thrilled to announce the publication of our @rooseveltinstitute.org report that uncovers the policy roots of the current crises facing our news, information & communication systems. We argue that media reform must become central to a US pro-democracy movement. rooseveltinstitute.org/publications...

Hey everyone! Ive been working on a project for a long time and I finally have some finished stuff people can read! There's a quick blurb to explain the idea and the first article in the series which properly starts the series I'd really appreciate it if you could check it out. I'll have more soon!

Today on the Website, we have a double feature from @friendlycat.bsky.social! First our intro article to a new series called The Way of Play, then the first article in the series! figleafgamingnetwork.wordpress.com/2025/12/03/i... figleafgamingnetwork.wordpress.com/2025/12/03/t...

Gamera vs. Guiron (1969)

as a reporter, the part of this that i’ve simply never understood is how the next person to ask a question when he does something like this doesn’t simply repeat the question that set him off. it’s not just solidarity with your colleague, it’s an important question that remains worth asking

this would have been a month-long scandal in 2011

The important thing is not whether the Trump performing sexual favors for Bill Clinton thing is true. The important thing is that we all pretend it’s true, and that someone asks Trump about it every day.

“The government is allowed to post real death threats on social media but you’re not allowed to post sarcastic death threats on social media” is actually a pretty apt distillation of power and violence

I think we need to stop calling it empathy and go back to calling it decency. It isn't a favour you're doing someone else, it's you proving that you aren't a fucking ghoul

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

trying to avoid "told you so" in favor of "do you see where i'm coming from now"

Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market. This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

the most wild trailer you will ever see in your life for a game btw nothing like it out there and probably never will be haha

Someone should go there and show them the clips of Trump's Great Gatsby party. I bet they'd be so happy to know he's having fun.

The ICE budget is higher than all but about 15 militaries worldwide, and we’re seeing what kind of country that gives us. www.stephensemler.com/p/ice-budget...

guys I’m sorry but have you looked through Getty images for yesterday 💀

remember all those hot takes during the primary about how Mamdani was the candidate for rich white liberals? a "champagne socialist" ? yeah, about that

my sincere hope is that Mamdani's election inspires more socialists to run in local politics. Nothing bout the fed will ever change until the democratic party is destroyed and replaced with a generation of leftists who give a shit

Someone needs to make a supercut of "doubles down after saying wrong word" Trump clips, because this is the best one yet. Fascinating artifact of whatever cocktail of personality disorders he has.

Zohran is stone cold man. Putting out an ad in Arabic after all the Islamophobic shit that’s been thrown his way? Pure swag. Dems don’t need to copy his politics or even necessarily his campaign strategy, they need to learn how to grow a fucking spine.

Trump filed lawsuits over jokes, tweets, and news articles, but not once over any of the countless allegations of child rape. I feel like more people should mention that.

I think any story about Trump's autocracy should be mostly about the people and institutions who failed to stop it. This guy isn't a political genius, everything else just happens to be rotten. 'Toddler Consolidates Power In Household' is a story about incompetent parents, not shrewd maneuvering

The craziest thing I’m chasing down: I don’t believe that stargate abilene has even close to enough power, nor is it possible for them to build it before the year 2027. They have a 200mw substation and an unfinished 350mw gas turbine plant. They need 1GW+ and it’s still in the design phase!

I have lived and worked in and around Chicago for 27 years and I have been assaulted less often than Sen Paul has been in his own back yard.

I had a really hard time giving myself my shot today. Anyone who calls me a good girl and is nice to me will have my eternal gratitude.

I'm telling you that that world doesn't exist. Either we're all safe, or none of us are safe. Kimmel and Colbert and jokes cannot save you from what's coming. You need the people that you won't fight for, to fight for you. But one-way solidarity ain't it.

Y'all fight for comedians. Which is why you don't have Black journalists to oppose Trump, but you do have famed resistance leaders *check notes* Matt Parker and Trey Stone.🤷🏿‍♂️ Kimmel is interviewing Gavin Newsom in his return. His podcast guests were the dudes that got the Black journalists fired.

I like Jimmy Kimmel. I really do. I have no issues with him. I'm talking about something very different. Kimmel was only suspended. But he's back now. Karen Attiah and all the other Black journalists are still fired. Y'all do know how to fight, when you want to. But you don't really want to. 🤷🏿‍♂️

This entire Jimmy Kimmel situation shows, again, white folks can shut all this down whenever they want. But they won’t because they’re not against authoritarianism and hate. They’re just against it when it affects them.

So regularly destroyed is trans stuff that it's an obscure fact that 2 words beginning with trans (transfeminate and transection) were in English dictionaries to describe someone who 'changed sex' from the mid 1600s until well into the 20th century.

“For the large majority [of the Harper’s Letter signatories,] Trump’s reign of terror has apparently been less objectionable than the irritating undergraduate and entry-level scolds of the 2010s.”

People who criticize transgender people say there are only two genders. But the soul has so much more individuality🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 No matter how much my activities are restricted, super Chiitan will continue to speak out until we live in a world where everyone can freely express their love and love each other♡

Who's job was it to let me know about the Triaina? Cause I needed to know about this as soon as possible and I feel let down. I don't know who failed me, but just know that a true friend would have blessed me with the knowledge of this little guy asap. gundam.fandom.com/wiki/MPM02/A...

Let the record show that @bsky.app suspended me for saying Mashalla at the news of his death

How the Media Helped Perpetuate a Trans Boogeyman “The press is not innocent in how the world moving forward looks for trans people… It never has been. Out of the 65 articles about trans people that NYT published in 2023, 60 percent of them did not include even one quote from a trans person.”

“Anti-trans harassment and violence is all the rage. Trans people are afraid to leave the country, let alone leave their houses. The right-wing ecosystem has gladly spent years creating these conditions, while Democrats have by turns avoided saying anything about them at all” 😞 👉🏻 archive.ph/ewBhT

Here it is. Please share it widely. I didn't do this because I wanted to be safe, but because I am determined not to lose my freedoms without a fight. I'm doing this for you, America. Long live the bill of rights and fuck Charlie Kirk.

Apropos of nothing, here's a thread of some Charlie Kirk highlights

Five years ago all this stuff about Trump's serial abuse came up. Women who had been minors at the time told their stories. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020...

Sometimes you receive a commission so powerful, you could stare at it for hours. Thank you @hiimbleep.bsky.social for this vision.

Hey all, my partner has started his new job, but won't get a paycheck for a bit yet, and unfortunately there are still bills to contend with, anything that you can give would be greatly appreciated in this final stretch. #HelpSky #MABoost #FundSky #MutualAid #HelpFolksLive2025 gofund.me/1e0d632c
