The US Administration is about to open a new front in its across-the-board assault on international students. For the last half century, student visas in the US have been valid until graduation. The White House will soon force those visas to expire in 2 to 4 years, max. Why that's so harmful—>

This is quoting Hitler and Goebbels. And also close to Wannsee Protocol talk. #USA be warned!

You're in luck if you wanted to read a manual on how to disassemble America, sell it off for parts, and ensure decades of mass poverty, disease, climate disaster, and worsening education systems. Senate Republicans released such a document at midnight last night.

This is who's ruling us. Pathetic sadists who think God's will will be done when the few elect upload their brains into computers that won't even survive the global warming they plan to use (along with formerly preventable diseases and backbreaking labor) to kill the rest of us

Worth a watch: Head of Signal, Meredith Whittaker, on so-called "agentic AI" and the difference between how it's described in the marketing and what access and control it would actually require to work as advertised.

Worth noting that 1) this is an obvious case of imperial boomerang 2) this also emphasises how the US federal government is increasingly treating California as foreign territory to be occupied with unlimited violence

Kirsten Gillibrand has a racist meltdown over Zohran Mamdani on public radio: defector.com/kirsten-gill...

a crowd has gathered at the UVA rotunda in response to the forced resignation of president jim ryan

As I noted last month the administration is trying to roll back Mercury emission standards for coal power plants under the Clean Air Act, the net impact of which will expose millions of kids to background levels of mercurcy thousands of fold higher than is contained in any vaccine, past or present

Yesterday I used this "AI -Free Statement" in a conference talk for the first time. Still trying to figure out the exact language. Feel free to borrow, modify, etc.

I hear it's really easy to get home insurance in Florida

Me, all day yesterday to my kids: it's hot commie summer lmao and everyone wants merch 15, this morning: oh btw I made this last night

Muslim guy: what if a poor person could buy vegetables Reasonable New Yorker: I am moving to a Whites Only compound 1,140 miles away from here as soon as possible. Please invite me onto the television to say this again.

Amazon boss, Jeff Bezos, is facing continued problems ahead of his wedding in Venice as protests continue in the Italian city.

I once had a fight with my publisher's lawyer over what constitutes "fair use." He said reprinting 4 lines of a poem without the poet's explicit permission was too much. But AI gobbling up whole books now counts as "fair use." Something is definitely wrong with US copyright law.

If you’re zip-tying grandmas protesting losing health care maybe you’re not the good guys in the story?

We are looking for a native French speaker to translate (from English into French) a document on Catholic responses to mining. Approx 20,000 words. Needs to be conversant with Catholic theology and intersection with ecology. Generous payment on offer. Any takers?

he's right and he's right to say it

What the hell is WRONG with you, @housedemocrats.bsky.social? You just planning on letting him destroy everything because maybe you might win the midterms? Primary every last one.

Trump is fucking over California purposefully, according to Ca Governor Gavin Newsom. Seven wildfires now burning. Trump pulled half the National Guard fire crews and they’re sitting round in LA doing nothing. “This isn’t leadership — it’s sabotage.”

World War 3 kinda sucks, but you know, it was either this or pronouns

Pretty sure America just went to war because nobody liked Donald Trump's military parade.

bill clinton popping up, not to oppose trump, but to remind us all that he is an evil piece of shit who should have resigned his presidency in disgrace.

Watching so many Democrats wave away sexual harassment allegations against Cuomo—after spending years watching Republicans wave away rape and sexual assault allegations against Trump—is depressing. Saying that serious allegations of sexual abuse don't matter is morally repugnant.

Quelques visages et noms d'iranien.ne.s assassiné.e.s Parnia Abbassi, 23 ans Prof d'anglais, elle était passionnée de poésie et a publié ses poèmes dans une revue. Elle est décédée au cours du tout premier bombardement le 13 juin, avec son petit frère (16 ans) et leurs parents.

Je sais pas pourquoi le monde a peur que l'intelligence artificielle mène à la fin du monde quand la stupidité naturelle fait amplement la job.

In national elections, liberals like me ask leftists to be coalition partners — hold their noses and vote for a candidate they don't love to beat someone truly terrible. In New York, the shoe is on the other foot. And we should be clear that we're willing to do what we ask of our partners.

On June 14th, cooperative worker-owner José Ignacio “Nacho” De La Cruz and his stepdaughter Heidi Perez were violently detained by ICE and are now at risk of imminent deportation. Sign on to the letter demanding their immediate release from detention. actionnetwork.org/letters/free...

The Medicaid cuts in Trump's budget bill are projected to cause more than 16,500 premature deaths ANNUALLY. Over 1.9 MILLION people could lose access to a physician. Over 1.3 MILLION people could go without needed medications. Americans will die for billionaires to thrive.

what is it called when people who aren't cops and don't have a warrant drag you away, because I don't think "arrest" is the word

So I just want to be clear that the gentile President's anti-immigrant goons illegally assaulted and kidnapped the leading Jewish candidate for Mayor in New York City for walking into a federal building for the crowd that is keeping track of The Antisemitism Problem

Who is the actual president? edition.cnn.com/2025/06/17/p...

This is so fuckin weird

HAPPENING NOW: A MASSIVE crowd has gathered at Daley Plaza in Chicago for a “No Kings Day” rally against Donald Trump (Video: Luis Emora)

Sorry to be missing the protest today. Solidarité from a country where they know something about No Kings

Happy #NoKings Day to all who celebrate (so, basically anyone who treasures American Democracy)...

When a cabinet member announces "We are using the military to liberate an American city from its elected leaders," where do you go from there. What is left to say. The idea of that being anything short of a near-universal "Wait, what the fuck is going on" moment proves how far we've backslid.

🧵 My small country, Estonia, population 1.3 million sent 2003-2014 over 2500 soldiers. 9 were killed in the line of duty. 109 wounded, half of them so seriously they could no longer lead a normal life. In Iraq 2003-2009 we had more than 440 soldiers. 2 were killed. 18 seriously wounded. 1/n

Everyone saw Grand Park's hot pink benches being stacked into a barricade on Sunday. What an exceptional statement from RIOS, the benches' designers instagram.com/rios.imagines "These pieces were designed to move, adapt, welcome, connect — and now protect"

So, to be clear, Musk has now admitted he funded a man he believes to be a pedophile to be president. And Trump has now admitted that he gave access to high level government secrets to a man he believes to be a big time drug addict. This should be *the* story on the Sunday shows tomorrow.

I loathe Musk as much as anyone else but for a sitting president to openly threaten a private citizen over what political donations he or she chooses to make is a reminder of how authoritarian this country is becoming by the day - by the hour even!
