They need to sell a book with all of Katsuya Terada's Zelda artwork.

1 in 12 Americans live in California. 1 in 35 Americans live in LA County. LA is America

Dem senator: Please, protestors, there are better ways to oppose the president Voters: Like not voting for his nominees? Dem senator: haha no no no. No. What I mean is we are writing a rap

I think what most of the Protest Discourse is missing is that it's mostly inapplicable to spontaneous protest. You're criticizing random people who are almost certainly not the audience for your admonishments anyway

Thinking that protestors have to be held to a higher standard because of “optics” is just a manifestation of the fear that every American is a secret Republican and it’s nonsense. A police station was burned down in Minneapolis four years ago and the Democrats won a trifecta!

Apropos of nothing.

as I’ve posted before, I learned this in 1999 at the WTO protests in Seattle. when we got home and watched the news we saw a completely different event than we’d just been in, and we were in the front getting tear gassed

This is, of course, all bullshit. But that won't matter to the MAGA cult who still believe entire cities were burnt to the ground during the Black Lives Matter protests.

Every person on Bluesky should know: * Every post on Bluesky is PUBLIC forever * Every post on Bluesky is archived by ICE, NSA, and many other agencies * Even if you delete a post, it’s already been captured * Judges don’t care if you were “kidding” or being ironic www.404media.co/the-200-site...

N-no?

Eff this ICE clown's tears. - Why are ICE agents masked, no badges? - Why are ICE vehicles unmarked? - Why armed to the gills? - Why is ICE endangering bystanders? - Why are ICE agents snatching & zip-tying *children*? Hold a presser instead of hiding behind a pity video. 📺 bsky.app/profile/marc...

One thing is for certain after this week: Local cops in sanctuary cities—Minneapolis, Los Angeles, Chicago, New York—are working in lock step with DHS and ICE.

A transgender soldier who’s being pushed out of Army checked herself into hospital for suicidal thoughts. She arrived and found other suicidal transgender soldiers there too. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/06/u...

fyi, arguing that dems shouldn’t outwardly support trans folks because you don’t think it’s a popular message is an argument that is aligned with fascism, and that doesn’t change just because you voted for Harris also you’re a bad person

Appeals court rules that the president can punish a news outlet based on the content of its coverage by denying it access that it has had for generations. If the decision stands, it represents a major blow to press freedom @zjmontague.bsky.social @minhokim.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/06/06/u...

Pushback works

As opposed to 2024 when they…uhm, scrambled to the center.

This is so jarringly unAmerican that I sort of hope it wakes some normies up. It is occurring in a context where military-style equipment is being used to enforce immigration roundups and conveys the notion that we are increasingly living in a police state.

Wow no one could have predicted this. I’m sure AI will fix all this up. futurism.com/computer-sci...

Voters love it when you believe in absolutely nothing, and they will respect you for embracing the people who are trying to destroy you. It really signals that you’re willing to fight.

This sounds like a zookeeper about to get fired

I am genuinely interested in the guys who protested Trump in 2017 becoming the guys who went to his inauguration. I get self-interest, but that does not explain the change in behavior.

The New York Times is back at it again (derogatory). An upcoming New York Times podcast on trans youth healthcare used audio from the mother of a trans girl against her will, after producers caught a vulnerable moment on tape.

New: TIME reporters were able to use Google’s AI video tool to make convincing videos of Muslims setting fire to a Hindu temple; Chinese researchers handling a bat in a wet lab; and elections worker shredding ballots. After TIME contacted Google, it began adding a visible watermark to Veo 3 clips

Some *really* good turns of phrase in this piece.

Perhaps a rash of deepfakes starring members of congress in flagrante delicto with various tech bros would spur some self regulation.

Worth reading to grasp the extent. Consequences need to come at some point.

If your goal is to extract as much profit as possible, you’re liable to demolish a completely fine building and replace it with a newer, more profitable one. What if we resisted this logic and did so in a way that preserved rather than jeopardized affordability? bit.ly/3ZLTPUR

The U.S. Supreme Court has been intervening in President Donald Trump's ongoing assault on the law with "troubling" frequency, according to a pair of legal experts — even if the justices occasionally rule against him.

The Democrats on the House Homeland Security Committee just posted this. Guessing this is a meme format that will be around for a while

Daniel Wasserman's life of discrimination has included: -Growing up in Scarsdale, New York -Having a father who was a Harvard MBA and spent 30 years in PE investment, who recently launched $1.3 billion fund -Attending Yale -Attending the University of Cambridge /

I cannot get over these cops wearing night vision to arrest a dude on a Southwest Airlines flight in broad daylight.

San Diego neighborhood makes ICE agents retreat

This kind of clear, direct explanation of what’s happening is basic journalism and yet it’s surprising to hear it stated so forthrightly in this mealy-mouthed era.

The interesting thing about people dragging the folks in that NYT piece who said that they didn’t vote for moms to get deported is that the article is about how these women are organizing for a member of their community, aggressively and openly, and actually, that’s good.

“I would love to see other states adopt similar [orders]," one advocate says, "...affirming the state government’s belief that autism is not an epidemic... & also protecting the data rights of autistic people & our data privacy.” @nberlat.bsky.social reports: prismreports.org/2025/05/27/i...

Few stories better capture modern policing than this one about a conspiracy of private corporate interests paying off-duty state troopers as part of a "shadow force" to cleanse downtown Nashville of homeless people using metal chains, cages, and violence.

Curtis Yarvin goes on @cnn.com, confirms that he wants a monarchy to replace democracy, says racist things and informs @hadasgold.bsky.social that he's in touch with Trump staffers. Nice to see the mainstream press catch up on this dangerously weird ideology. www.cnn.com/2025/05/31/p...

I will be honest: I genuinely don't think most people have any idea the full extent of the professional backlash and consequences lawyers face for openly supporting Palestine. It's at times as bad as the anti-trans discrimination tbqh.

Against all odds, Joni Ernst has made it worse

A lot of people know about the Germans in the space program, but the more relevant engineer might be Qian Xuesen, the MIT/CalTech aerospace professor who co-founded JPL and was sent to recruit the Germans. We deported him the 1950s. He became the leader of China’s missile program.

i have said this before but this is why it was and is important not to ignore the “NPC” language. these people really believe that other human beings are not real, with all the consequences that flow from this

1/ We got government data showing that the Trump administration knew the majority of Venezuelan men it sent to a prison in El Salvador had no criminal record in the U.S. - and that only a handful had been convicted of violent crimes - before calling them all terrorists and deporting them.

What fun to discover ÂŁ7,000 of book royalties, due today, aren't actually going to be paid. Not today. Maybe not ever. So now it's time for yet another round of "What Do I Tell My Mortgage Provider?", and a quick game of "How Do I Feed My Dog?" Fuck you, publishing. What a turd of a profession.

Today in the Oval Office, Trump said he’s considering pardoning the men convicted for plotting to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer in 2020.

Extremely telling clip with Crusoe Energy's CEO talking about data centre development. "there's no way it's going to get to 100% carbon-free power production to power all of the AI infrastructure" Just saying out loud what the companies say internally. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhIJ...
