SCOTUS just gave DOGE the green light to access your sensitive personal information, including Social Security numbers, medical records, and financial data. It’s shameful. www.nbcnews.com/politics/sup...

When this antisemitic vandalism in Paris happened last weekend, I saw a lot of people online blaming Muslim immigrants and/or pro-Palestine protesters. Turns out it was Russia, wanting people in France to blame those groups to feed support for the far-right. www.france24.com/en/france/20...

If anything, it is understated in our public consciousness how “North Korean” we have gotten in such a short period of time, even compared to Trump’s first term. We are only a few short months in and already upwards of a BILLION has been spent on making this one guy feel good about himself:

Lots we could say here about how the British political/media class basically drove each other insane at threats to their status and with their fury at being called wankers on Twitter dot com, but let’s pause to marvel at “Equality commissioner instructs minority to accept reduced rights”.

Thousands of words already about Trump-Musk tiff. I've seen no discussion about how taxing Musk would significantly improve the bill. Only memes about what it means that two such emotional creatures wield so much power. Almost no comment abt Trump's promise to abuse his position for revenge.

It’s pretty clear that what EVERYONE is looking for is someone with a clear sense of their own morality and willingness to fight for those ideals. It’s just that men don’t seem to care if that center is actually moral.

I didn’t watch but watching the clips of NYC Mayor debate I see Cuomo argument is “I know how to deal with Donald Trump because I’ve dealt with him before” which recalls Biden’s ‘I know how to beat DJT because I’m the only one who HAS beat him before.’ This is not the way. VOTE FOR POWER NOT FEAR

It will continue to incredibly plausibly claim that it has understood its mistake and is sorry and will never do that again. It has no capacity for any of those things. The part that’s confusing is that the only humans who can do that so convincingly are psychopaths.

Do you know what I really, really profoundly dislike? (I mean, there are a few things) Calling "birthrate" "fertility". The two are not the same thing. Having bodily and social autonomy - making a choice about whether or not to have a child - is not the same as fertility.

In the UK, there's been exactly 11 years of legal equality in the entirety of history. And that equality has never been extended to transgender folks. Likewise, queer inclusion in entertainment as an active movement is about 5 years old in the entirety of history. If we forget that, we lose. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Cuomo used state resources to investigate and smear his victims, including but not limited to seeking subpoenas for their gynecology records. He also placed covid+ patients in nursing homes, knowing the risk to elderly residents.

The head of FEMA who said he didn't know there's a hurricane season is a white man with no prior experience managing natural disasters who got his job despite his lack of qualifications in large part because of his race and gender.

"The hallways...were absolutely lined with ICE agents. And immigrants were scared to leave, even though their cases were still open. What happened was that ICE agents then stormed into the courtroom, kicked out the attorneys, and detained everyone in the courtroom over the judge's objections."

I think a lot about how Aaron Swartz committed suicide while facing a probably long jail sentence for download some of JSTOR, but no one at Meta is going to face any repercussions for using all of Libgen to train its AI.
