On days like today, I remember what WikiLeaks said ahead of targeting the DNC in the 2016 election and actively enabling Trump's political ascendancy. theintercept.com/2018/02/14/j...

A lot of you know nothing about Iran and Iranians’ efforts to free themselves from the Islamic Republic of Iran, and it shows. Celebrating the death of the man who terrorized us is the most obvious thing to do. Please stop telling Iranians how we should react.

The Iranian regime are nightmare murderbastards but guess who's gonna do most of the dying now that the Israeli nightmare murderbastards have arrived to paint a figleaf for the American nightmare murderbastards? Funnily enough the worst people are never in the largest mass graves Fuck all of them

I dk how to say this nicely but I don’t give a f- if your mass murdering government gets approval from your congress before burning our region while violating international law

If you’re following the conflict via sm i highly suggest reading this guide on vicarious trauma and ways to minimize it, not explicitly mentioned but v important is not watching stuff in your bedroom and also, if you dont have a professional reason to consume this stuff stop mainlining it

Never forget that shutting down your local arms factory is infinitely more useful to the victims of war than voyeuristically consuming imagery of mutilation.

Impeach, send to The Hague.

DO NOT LET ANY MEMBER OF CONGRESS WALK AROUND THINKING THEIR CONSTITUENTS DON’T CARE

After sexual violence, it's victims who get punished the most. Victims who lose their jobs and have to leave their industries. Victims who lose their friends and support systems. Victims who lose their health and sanity. Perpetrators might lie low, sometimes, before being handed it all back.

The sailors on the USS Gerald Ford who keep stuffing their t-shirts into the toilets so the bathrooms flood and the carrier can’t deploy to Iran should be awarded a collective Nobel Peace Prize

The only response to "trans people in sports/bathrooms??" should be "this does not affect your life in any way at all and is a set of dangling keys intentionally distracting you from the confirmed pedos who are robbing our pockets and poisoning our rivers for their sick addiction to power"

Yes, actually, it is possible to do some basic due diligence on funders and say no to money. It’s possible with zero institutional support. Ask me how I know! No excuse for researchers who took Epstein money.

dinosaurs vs. robots gotta give this round to the dinosaurs

Why are the boundary stomping factories producing boundary stomping machines when the anti-boundary stomping foundation is staffed by boundary stompers? Will somebody solve this mystery?

Maybe letting tech companies and their opposition get dominated by people who refuse to understand consent was bad actually.

FLOSS: Our new Nexus Minus Torment contains zero torment for end users. All the torment is experienced by contributors, distributed by one guy and his enablers.

I run my own torment nexus in my closet, I am part of the solution

Tech Company: At long last, we have created the Torment Nexus from classic sci-fi novel Don't Create The Torment Nexus. FOSS nerds: the Torment Nexus cannot be ethical until it is Open Source

We need a decentralized Torment protocol and federated Nexus ecosystem so users are not locked into a specific Nexus and can easily change Torment providers when they are not being Tormented in accordance with their Torment preferences. We need a flourishing marketplace of Torment middleware to allo

More than ten years after dealing with some nonsense, I can only laugh. FFS, what a bunch of miserable clowns. Imagine being such a boring person you can’t think up some hobbies or something. Imagine going on camera to spin your complicity as someone else’s fault. I will never be that miserable.

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 24-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 1.2 MILLION people in Denmark found NO LINK between aluminum in childhood vaccines and autism, asthma, OR chronic disorders. Aluminum is an ADJUVANT. It ENHANCES your immune response to a vaccine. That’s it.

This is indeed a long thread - and one of the best curated threads, with 💯 relevant links and succinct summaries, that I've seen on any platform. Esther, thank you.

Reading the Epstein files reporting is teaching hackers why we shouldn’t tolerate abusers, right? RIGHT? If you seriously think that patriarchy doesn’t exist and consent is irrelevant, how the hell can you understand how mass surveillance is funded and built?

It's not a coincidence that when Tor wanted to get rid of Jacob Appelbaum, they shuffled him off to academia, where he's been ever since.

What’s next, mass shooter drills in podcasting studios?!?!?!

Funny how the rules are different for the people society agrees should have violence enacted upon them.

"...a burner phone is meant to be truly anonymous. This requires going to a store via public transit without a phone while wearing some kind of disguise, paying in cash, activating the phone in a coffee shop while spoofing your MAC address... unnecessary for most people"

Back to trying to make specialist appointments for the @?!£&$€%#***!!! meatsack. If anyone has recommendations for internists in Hamburg let me know.

On the subject of genocide: you do not need a new phone. Refurbished phones are fine. Last year’s model is fine. Anything that still gets security updates is fine.

Never again is now for everyone. No matter who the victims are. No matter who the perpetrators are. “Western civilisation” is a lie. Either you consider all people full human beings who deserve universal rights, or you are a genocide apologist. Don’t let politicians twist it.

There is no universe in which this is defensible.

The blood of Anas al-Sharif and other slain journalists is on the hands of Western media figures who have justified Israel’s crimes while ignoring, or excusing, the killing and intimidation of Palestinian journalists.

FOR OBVIOUS REASONS, PLEASE GET ALL OF YOUR VACCINES NOW.

So far in Geneva I have seen: tram another tram apotheke more tram coffee shop tram UNHCR tram more tram also, tram

Centrists tell people the economy is better because rich people yacht line go up,
shocked when people measure by: 
rent too high 
daycare too high 
college too high 
utilities too high 
food too high 
public transit is shit and car costs too high

The OG Nazis were wellness and fitness hacks and also interested in the occult. Neonazis didn’t have to infiltrate New Age groups- they have been there from the beginning. And we absolutely told you, and you told us it was in our heads. Now the antivaxxers are going to be running the show.

A lot of your software freedom rockstar heroes saw Gamergate and alt-right bro shit in person and did nothing about it. 
Remember this when they show up demanding to lead the resistance.

As soon as someone claims that a group of people of a certain ethnicity, race, religion, or national origin "don't love their children like us", be aware that this is fascist bullshit. You are dealing with someone using dehumanising language. Don't fall for it, don't tolerate it, call it out.

hello new followers i would really appreciate it if you shared our updated coverage of the Starship wastewater shitshow it has more nitty-gritty analysis, including those pesky lil mercury decimals details the bottomline is that this remains very Not Fucking Good www.popsci.com/science/spac...

please please please never make the mistake of thinking that this bunch of out of touch beltway ivory tower white upper class twits at the NYT has 1% as much to say about how this election will go than brown working class people across the US no matter how much they cosplay the opposite
