i've been trying to see what the right wing platforms (even outside of X) are showing people regarding the protests in LA and i am not sure it can be overstated just how much the AI slop is being used to reinforce the idea that downtown is a post-apocalyptic war zone

he realized he was cooked if he kept this up. he absolutely tarnished his reputation and is now in the groveling on his hands and knees stage

I’ve seen a few variations of this making the rounds. I like this one best. I don’t know who the original artist is but thank you to them.

dude this party is such an echo chamber. it's just friends hanging out and chilling and having a good time. you need to invite some people over who want to kill you with hammers

Democrats should introduce articles of impeachment for RFK jr Even if it doesn’t work, which it probably won’t, democrats need to make clear that he’s not gonna get away with it

Research with @transenv.bsky.social finds that average bonnet height in newly-sold cars is increasing by 0.5cm a year, reaching 83.8cm in 2024, up from 76.9cm in 2010. This increases severity of crashes & reduce drivers’ visibility. Clear need for regulation. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

It’s kind of nuts how people believe advocating to ruin various groups of people’s lives they have a prejudice against is just a simple disagreement and not evil shit that should be shunned completely. And it’s scary how normal it is.

Every major Dem politician needs to realize that, in this environment, they can schedule a "speech to the nation," like Newsom did, and get tons of media coverage. Just do it.

i just watched a clip of stephen miller talking to hannity from a few days ago and my god is that guy a stone cold freak. like, everything about him is profoundly off-putting, like a bug in an eggar suit

Sadness in his eyes / tentacles: My mutalith vortex beast has lost the tongue from one of his tail-mouths in a battle 😟 #40k #warhammer #miniaturepainting

Sums up things at the moment

i know it's just advertisement but it still pisses me off when tech CEOs claim AGI will solve humanity's problems with its vast intelligence. for a lot of problems we already know the solutions, what prevents them being solved is not a lack of intelligence, but that the solutions are unprofitable

real bummer finding out that literally everything was on the honor system this whole time

It’s about time.

Actual case of men will literally execute a fascist takeover of a superpower rather than go to therapy

Some extremely Oxford Commas going on here 🧐

LAPD out there like

When did you ever hear the BBC stating that it must alter “story selection” and “other types of output, such as drama”, to win the trust of Green voters, or of unrepresented people on the left? All the shifts are in just one direction. bylinetimes.com/2025/06/09/b...

Philly local tv station reporting that a man allegedly posed as an ICE agent in order to rob a car repair business office. How many other criminals might be getting this idea right now, given that actual ICE agents are refusing to show IDs, warrants, badges?

Dear USA Deploying troops against civilians will not go well. Yours Great Britain and Northern Ireland

Still waiting for the article that’s like “these right wing militia members are in a bubble and it would be healthier if they exposed themselves to left wing ideas”

I’m sorry for being the 70th heart on your post

good morning friends 💚✨

Eurgh. Android update. Have to disable Bixby and Gemini AGAIN. STOP TRYING TO FORCE THIS SHIT ON US

The thing about the Beeb trying to win over Farage fans…those people aren’t watching, don’t want to watch, have been shouting about the licence fee for decades etc. It’s like Starmer trying to win on immigration. You’ll never please them, they hate you anyway, and you lose all your base support

Hang on, £35k? Are we saying that anyone on less than that should be getting things like disability benefits, housing benefit, income support? Because i'm pretty sure the cut off is a little different!

Imagine if you were so bad at your job that you completely messed up 79% of the time. But instead of being sacked, your company sacks everyone else, and the government changes the law to give you everyone else’s money.

Horrific. Democrats have limited control over federal agents and federalized guardsmen, but the Democratic Governor of California and Mayor of LA can and should start by coming down like the wrath of God on any state and local police officers who get in on the brutality. Fuck the focus groups.

Israelis captured them in international waters? Is this a piracy thing? Is it cool to just capture Israeli ships in international waters now? 🤨

If you are National Guard or Active Duty military and you are being ordered to violate the constitutional rights of US citizens then this is the number to the GI Rights Hotline. There is support. You don’t have to go through with it. 877-447-4487

Excited to learn that we all get to become experts in the National Guard's authorizing statutes

Cannot stress enough that this is a pitiful action by a weak, scared, pathetic group of insecure, wannabe authoritarians, and they should be mocked until the end of time for wanting to bring in the military over some people protesting them at a Home Depot.

they're doing this because the Insurrection Act sounds cool and edgy but they can't actually justify using the Insurrection Act. it's a silly action by an insecure administration desperately to seem manly and powerful. it should be criticized relentlessly, but it should also be laughed at.
