Some of the first things the Nazis did against the Jews directly was making it impossible for them to exist in society. Keep them from working regular jobs, accessing banking, etc…

Everyone wants there to be a grand scheme behind all of this but the terrible truth is that extremely stupid people are in charge and they have a fanatical devotion to wrong, childlike concepts of society and economics cooked up by right wing radio hosts in order to sell tainted dietary supplements

The protests aren’t slowing down—they’re spreading. City to city, town to town. People are outraged, and they’re making it known. THIS IS WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE. But stay peaceful—don’t give Trump any excuse for violence or martial law.

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will stop paywalling articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

Trump claimed the Biden administration spent $8 million "making mice transgender." The White House tried to back up this number with records of funding for research into cancer, asthma, and HIV, some of which used transgenic (genetically modified) mice.

Wrote up something about Techdirt's recent coverage, and why (whether we like it or not) we need to be a "democracy blog" now, rather than just a "tech" blog (not that we've ever been just a tech blog). This story is the story and it impacts everything else. www.techdirt.com/2025/03/04/w...

Trump's 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭 to our ally in the Oval Office is a DAMN SHAME. Denigrating a democratic world leader while sitting next to him has not only jeopardized our work with global allies. Once again, Trump's ego just put our national security at risk.

Republicans always proving they are not serious people. Where is the outrage at the Muskrat wearing a baseball cap and tshirts in the oval and cabinet meetings?

Trump… what a master negotiator. He is such a pathetic weak piece of garbage. He treats Zelenskyy like this but acts like a whipped dog for Putin. Disgraceful.

In 2007, blackwater massacred 17 unarmed civilians in Iraq. 4 contractors were convicted of murder or manslaughter in 2014 (another pled guilty). In 2017 trump hires Princes sister, in 2020 he pardons those contractors. Now these stormtroopers want to repay the favor.

It wasn’t the lead rescuer, but the true story is just as bad. I recommend the book Aquanauts. It’s by the lead cave diver. The heroism and ingenuity of those divers was incredible. Musk was a petulant child that just wanted to be “seen” helping. The sub was a death trap.

The reporters at Texas Observer have been doing incredible investigative work lately, the kind of work that places like the WaPo used to do with a much larger budget before it got bought up and then slowly hollowed out by a billionaire sycophant who'd rather go into space than live in a democracy.

Excellent example of how bad journalists are at knowing the first thing about the topics they’re reporting on. PuTTY is a terminal emulator, Musks people being authorized to use PuTTY does not provide any useful information.

Incredible news! Montana’s Supreme Court just affirmed that the state’s gender affirming care ban is likely unconstitutional. This makes the state the first state Supreme Court to rule that trans medical care is protected. This applies REGARDLESS of what the US Supreme Court does.

I would be grateful if y’all could repost this for the evening crowd. Had a book come out today. People seem to like it. We definitely still need your help to make it a success. It’s a great read, a great gift (for others or yourself). And I can’t write without you. :)

What’s up with the “BREAKING:” like they are providing news but fail to provide any relevant details of their claim or an actual article? So many times, they are totally full of shit. In this case, it’s true. But include where you’re getting your information from! www.nytimes.com/2024/12/09/h...
