ALL THE TIME.

ai sucks it only sucks any measurable “use” it seems to have is immediately and entirely outweighed by how much it sucks and kills the planet and the people on it ai sucks, and the people who understand the damage yet still somehow delight in it also suck plus it’s bad at everything

GIANT BOMB FOREVER

"We are very intentionally approaching this. Have we done it perfectly? No." They literally spammed all federal employees threatening us with firing if we didn't quit. A tiny little mistake.

What ICE has done in Newark is unacceptable. The Newark Mayor was doing his job. Arresting him is an alarming escalation that cannot be allowed to stand. We stand firmly with Mayor Baraka and his right to do his job . The Trump administration’s actions are an abuse of all we believe in America

Brave patriotic ICE officials, as always, covering their faces out of shame.

Brilliant to eliminate Energy Star, a program that costs $32m but delivered $40b in annual savings. None other than the US chamber of commerce tried to save it as a model of business/government partnership. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/06/c...

giant bomb forever :(

Giant Bomb forever.

Waking up to devastating news for British trans people facing a truly awful ruling from their Supreme Court. This follows a manufactured campaign of lies, panic, and ignorance based on a playbook now unfolding in the US. I know the fight continues, but my heart is with you today and always

Despite a court order, Donald Trump is still refusing to allow journalists from the Associated Press into the White House press pool. This is a direct assault on the First Amendment, free speech, and freedom of the press.

Before press came in — but while live feed was running on Bukele’s feed — Trump said to him: “home-growns are next. … You’re gonna need to build about 5 more places.” x.com/nayibbukele/...

People are really underselling the extent to which the tariffs are already evolving into an ad hoc system of domestic political control

Here are two straightforward and incontrovertible statements of law about Mahmoud Khalil: 1) Khalil is a political prisoner of the United States 2) Khallil is a "prisoner of conscience" as defined by Amnesty International We need to say these things, and the world needs to hear them

2 days ago, at the library's computer lab, I sat across from a senior who needed help locating the cursor on the screen.

A lot of people seem to be under the belief that the post-war factory jobs their parents and grandparents had were good jobs because they were masculine and tough instead of, say, protected by a union under a progressive tax rate and a massive surplus

oh look - another entry for my 'you can't fight market forces' file

very excited to learn that the constitution allows the federal government to disappear people to foreign gulags beyond the reach of any judicial remedy

“At 3C of global heating, climate damage cannot be insured against, covered by governments, or adapted to. That means no more mortgages or new real estate devt, no long-term investment, no financial stability. The financial sector as we know it ceases to function and capitalism ceases to be viable.”

Quake 2: *runs on everything* Microsoft: let's preserve this game by having it require an entire computer farm to work.

“I see protest as a genuine means of encouraging someone to feel the inconsistencies, the horror, of the lives we are living. Social protest is to say that we do not have to live this way." — Audre Lorde

Morristown says #HandsOff!!!

this is awesome and Equity Arc sounds like a terrific org

@booker.senate.gov has broken the record! 🔥🔥🔥 We can - we must - respond in kind by standing up to this dictatorship for as long as it takes.

"I don't want a Disney vacation of our history! I don't a whitewashed history, I don't want a homogenized history. Tell me the wretched truth about America, because that speaks to our greatness" -- 20 hours into his speech, Cory Booker is spitting absolute 🔥

remember what i said about RFK Jr. being a eugenicist first and foremost? www.marketwatch.com/story/agency...

Trans rights are human rights because trans people are human beings.

“We must make our choice. We may have democracy, or we may have wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we cannot have both.” - Justice Louis Brandeis

it is BUCK WILD that they are just texting this shit to each other

Just in case anyone was wondering, every bit of this was classified. Lot of perjury in those hearings yesterday.

overwhelming. devastating.

Earlier this week my constituent, Badar Khan Suri, a Georgetown postdoctoral fellow, was detained outside his Rosslyn home. He remains in detention despite not being accused of a crime, a clear violation of his constitutional rights. He must be released. beyer.house.gov/news/documen...

First they came for these guys, and if you don’t know the rest of the poem I suggest you goggle it right quick

the last decade has really helped me understand in a more visceral sense what it meant when God hardened the pharoah’s heart

Rubio’s position seems to be: - We get to say who is a terrorist. Our decision is final. It can’t be challenged. Just trust us. - Once we decide you are a terrorist, we can immediately deport you. No judges. - After we deport you, we can make you rot in a foreign prison. No criminal charges needed.

"We all have to stand up for each other."

Damn. Just overtly and unapologetically saying you are willing to sacrifice part of the population. And these folks call themselves "moderates." Incredible.
