you know, if 'grow a thicker skin' is just a lesson creators have to learn, I feel like the opposite, learn to be kinder, should be just as important for the other side :)

We've joked for years about how posting isn't activism but now that the government is a gang of social media-obsessed fascists it actually is

This AI-loving newspaper editor is teaching young journalists a valuable lesson: editors can be dumbasses www.cleveland.com/news/2026/02...

Hey everyone. Potentially the biggest story in the country, right here. substack.com/home/post/p-...

This is what a rigged economy looks like.

If you live in the US, call your fucking representatives and tell them that repealing Section 230 is a horrible idea. If Section 230 is gone, you can kiss Bluesky goodbye.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Pleading with people to understand the scope of this. It won’t just be for immigrants. They will use these camps to detain anyone they deem as an “other”. The disabled. The homeless. Trans people. Political dissidents. Your tax dollars will be spent incarcerating people without due process.

lol this is gonna burst so fucking hard

The article doesnt actually mention them "distancing" themselves from Palantir, only that prompts to give your ID to Persona were "a test, which has concluded" Continue to cancel Nitro and migrate elsewhere

Friendly Reminder! AEW's Brody King is holding his 4th ABOLISH ICE fundraiser, to help those around the country who've been affected by ICE. I believe this runs until Tuesday. ALL PROCEEDS go to the Minnesota Immigration Rights Action Committee. ✊ 👉 edgemenstore.com/collections/... #FuckICE

And with a LARGE degree of disrespect: if you used or advocated for AI in my industry, I will never work with you or hire you, ever. You earned a lifetime membership to my personal shitlist. You knew it was wrong, and you did not care, and you get to reconcile with the ramifications of your choices.

If you have to travel to Detroit - take the tunnel. Do not give Trump's oligarch friends any money. Refuse to travel on the Ambassador Bridge. Take the tunnel. Better yet don't travel to the States at all. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Jesus Christ this fucking company

turns out the discord situation is worse! the company that will be doing the age verifications with IDs is Persona, a peter thiel aligned company we're going to try to wind down the Kill The Computer discord and try to get a subreddit for the podcasts community up and running

They haven't reversed, Keep up the pressure #discord

Did you Know discord has a phone number, Email and address? discord.com/company-info... Discord Inc. 444 De Haro Street Suite 200 San Francisco, CA 94107 Phone: 888-594-0085 Email: [email protected] Customer Support: support.discord.com/hc/en-us/req... #Discord

Hello everyone, Sorry to be ask for assistance again, couldn’t find a job so far, and my government aid is starting to run low. I appreciate the help so far, and I’m trying to get better, it’s just so hard. ko-fi.com/moozymaus650...

over on x the everything app some Chicago high school kid named Danny Spud tried to disrupt his school's anti-ICE protest by yelling about how much he loves ICE and then filmed himself getting walloped by a fellow student lmao the quote tweet making fun of him has 3x the likes

Reyna approached me to have me do a fully rendered illustration of their character in the outfit they had me design! It looks gloriously elegant~ #furryart #Giantess #SizeSky

🚨 ICE is authorized to covertly infiltrate and interact with social media accounts under a new program called "masked engagement," per documents leaked to me: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/exclusive-...

This is a scam. If you see this, DON'T click it.

YOU WILL CALL YOUR SENATORS NOW. YOU WILL TELL THEM YOU OPPOSE THE SAVE ACT. YOUR ABILITY TO VOTE THIS ADMINISTRATION OUT OF OFFICE IS ON THE LINE.

sigh... I feel like bad asking for help again my landboy decided to be a dick he was supposed to tell me when the electricity bill was over 200, which he didn't feel like doing for 5 months Plz donate if you can, don't worry if you can't, pls take care of yourself first ko-fi.com/crippledbean...

yea they have previously used persona but OP claims they're using it in this global rollout. seems like discord might be switching to k-id even for uk/au since my uk friend was able to use github.com/xyzeva/k-id-... to bypass it. also that article doesn't say anything about a lawsuit?

"Discord is apparently switching age verification providers to Persona due to the bypasses... which means everything they said about it being client-side and face images not being uploaded is now false"

Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.

This is genuinely insane, I clicked to see the years expecting the low part to be 70s or maybe 90s but its 2015!!!!! The entire anti trans panic is a decade old

If you're in California, yell at the attorney generals office about how this violates both CCPA and CalOPPA and needs ds to be stopped. Here's the office phone # oag.ca.gov/contact/mail... Here's links to the 2 acts for reference oag.ca.gov/privacy/ccpa leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_...

Discord lied. they’re now sending scanned IDs to persona, a third party company. “facial scans will never leave your device” -discord lmao.

The so-called Save America Act will force 21 million American citizens to produce passports or birth certificates just to register to vote. Most do not have them ready. Turning paperwork into a barrier is a poll tax by another name. #HandsOffHerVote social.demcast.com/s/L9X3k1fQ

When abusers demonize and *dehumanize* the people they’re raping and exploiting, it becomes easier for the public to ignore the atrocities because of perceived justice. - we’ve watched it happen with prisoners (soap jokes) - we’ve watched it happen with natives (“savages”) - now the Trans Community

Encouraging our Chicago allies who survived Operation Midway Blitz to please post here about that post-”drawdown.” IIRC heat died down but ICE is back doing same shady shit only shadier. Celebrate the win (when it actually happens, not just a liar‘s words) but know this is a strategic retreat.

THIS. I believe a lot of the recent activity in my neighborhood was to gauge how many people came out and how to distract us so they can do their work without resistance

The job won't be done until we: Bring home our neighbors Abolish ICE Prosecute ICE

this thread is harrowing but these lawyers are fucking heroic

Imma try and keep this short, but this is what i think is importantly historically. The 1960s civil rights laws and decisions were not technically "new legislation." it was a restoration of what already was. For example 🧵

Hey definitely call your senators about this. Like seriously.

"Why can't we have a calm discussion about AI?" Cuz the data centers are being built carelessly and at speed, polluting poor neighborhoods, cuz it's drinking my fucking aquifer, and cuz all my art and writing have been plagisrized while the worst assholes crow about my impending obsolescense...

palestinian journalist posting on twitter that his bluesky account was immediately taken down purely because he was in gaza. all palestinian accounts are assumed to be spam.

it drives you insane how much erosion of freedom is justified by concern for kids when the people who actually hurt them will never face consequences

Impeach, arrest, and prosecute them all. Anything less is being complicit.

The AI features added to Notepad created a critical exploit vulnerable to loading a compromised txt file. The fix is part of Patch Tuesday, so update your systems. AI is not a feature I ever desired in Notepad. I should look into some alternatives...

Marimar Martinez was shot by Border Patrol five times. DHS accused her of being a domestic terrorist. She went to court to get the body cam footage released. It shows Agent Charles Exum driving with his gun drawn. Saying “do something b*tch”. Ramming her car. Shooting her. It shows DHS lied.
