If you are too young to remember the Iraq War, you'll hear "no one protested" and "no one knew they were lying." Millions of people knew they were lying and protested. The press not only did not want a record of mass dissent; they did not want a record of mass knowledge of lies.

That institutions & establishment Dems are afraid of going against Cuomo because they know that if he wins, he'll enact revenge against his haters is, ahem, why they should be going against him!! He governs by spite, not by vision or what's best for the city!

Fuck the NYT and their wink-wink-not-really-an-endorsement of a corrupt predator

Elmo publicly stated that all it would take to manipulate an election would be to change “one line of code.” His words. Am I the only one who wants to know what the hell he meant? One line of code in what, precisely? I wish some of our best and brightest experts put some effort into figure that

Ranking Cuomo is to de-rank every woman in your life.

All the 3.5% magic bullet nonsense is the ‘Boom! Mueller Time!’ of this moment and it's doing my head in. Protests work, there's many disparate reasons why and it’s not always a numbers game. Just take some action.

The thing about Cuomo is that it doesn't even seem like he actually wants to be mayor of New York, y'know? He wants a job, he wants prestige, he wants a stepping stone, he wants power, he wants "redemption". But you don't get any sense that he has any actual interest in running the city.

I haven’t seen nearly enough people talking about this. The levels of greed and inhumane thinking on display is actually terrifying. America really is dystopian as fuck.

BREAKING: Trump orders ICE to expand mass deportation operations in Democrat sanctuary cities.

All snark aside about the terrible Atlantic piece in favor of the fascist parade or the general downplaying of #NoKings, if you're going to take action, it's helpful to know that MSM orgs rarely support acts of protest. As a rule, they dismiss protestors or paint them as violent thugs. Be prepared.

Amid widespread protests, President Trump orders ICE to target Democratic-run cities for the single largest mass deportation program in history. This directive amplifies weeks of escalated enforcement, with Stephen Miller pushing for 3,000 daily arrests, up from 650. An aggressive new phase begins.

YYEEEESSSSSS

Could we possibly get the National Guard and / or Marines to assist with the hungry / homeless while they’re standing around doing nothing? Is this too logical a question to ask?

The Department of Defense was created to protect us, but who is going to protect us from THEM?

When you hear the whining about "police injured on duty" in LA today: the people actually listening to the scanners said LASD fired rubber bullets at LAPD so LAPD tear-gassed LASD. The protestors are gonna get blamed for it, but it was entirely self-inflicted.

the story today is of a profoundly low energy military parade being met with millions of americans in nationwide protests denouncing the dictatorial pretensions of the president

Minnesota State Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband have died. Governor Walz @governorwalz.mn.gov “She was a formidable public servant," the governor said of his friend. "She is irreplaceable." Trump has turned America into a hellhole of hatred. Shame on him and his followers.

The "I'll lower costs and get us out of endless wars" candidate is now presiding over surging costs and brand new wars.

When something bad happens that's clearly meant to intimidate people into silence, the best course of action is to shock and demoralize the perpetrators by channeling your rage and grief into standing up and speaking out. Don’t back down.

Fuck all this.

US Veterans peacefully protesting Trump’s military birthday parade arrested at Capitol Hill. This is the moment a 80+ year old US veteran is taken away in handcuffs for practicing his 1st Amendment right. #3E #NoKings #NoKingsProtests (🎥 @gregjstoker.bsky.social )

I’ve seen a lot of hand wringing about the dangers of going to No Kings protests and gently, I want to tell people to chill a little. These are permitted marches and the point is to be out there and seen en masse. Please don’t scare off people who are maybe going to their very first protest

Holy shit. AP reports that the Trump admin. provided deportation officials with personal data and immigration status on millions of Medicaid enrollees. Data includes "addresses, names, social security numbers and claims data for enrollees" in California, Illinois, Washington state and Washington DC.

So Kristi Noem goes on Fox and lies that Sen Padilla didn’t ID himself, even though the video is there for all to see. But get what she’s saying: Assaulting and handcuffing someone for trying to ask a question is OK in any case? This is a criminal regime.

I know it's fucking pointless and more than a little tedious to point this out but can you even imagine what would have happened if, like, Matt Gaetz or MTG had gotten this treatment under Biden

If Dems ever take back power they really better not Look Forward Not Backward again

The state of California needs to arrest the DHS "security" forces for assault and every Democrat in the U.S. Senate needs to sign onto a campaign to impeach Kristi Noem. Right fucking now.

Reminder that I AM LATINA AND PROUD. I am the product of immigration - my grandmother was undocumented and entered the country from Mexico as a baby. My mother was a fierce, gorgeous Latina woman of Mexican and Spanish descent.

If I had to guess at what Roberts is doing from my most cynical perspective (which is the right perspective to take with Roberts): He's going to load up so the bad decisions all come out at once. Nobody will be able to keep up. He's learned from Trump how to hack the media.

📢 KNOW YOUR RIGHTS WHILE PROTESTING: a thread 📢

You can no more remove copyrighted and unlicensed data from a trained model than you can remove a given chicken from a palette of processed chicken nuggets.

Collective griping about bad generic versions of drugs in the other thread made me realize it's been a while since the PSA: if your pharmacy switches which manufacturer they use to supply a generic drug, and the drug works differently or doesn't work, file an adverse effects report with the FDA.

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

School’s in session

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

BREAKING: Miller reportedly engineered the raids that sparked the protests that have engulfed the city in recent days—likely because he wanted a pretext to send in federal troops. https://trib.al/oM1280f

New from 404 Media: Delta, United, American etc don't want you to know they sold your flight data to DHS. The country's airlines sell bulk names and flight itineraries to DHS to be searched without a warrant. Contract tells DHS to not reveal where this data came from www.404media.co/airlines-don...
