Some of his readers have asked Mike Masnick @mmasnick.bsky.social why his technology news site, Tech Dirt, has been covering politics so intensely lately. www.techdirt.com/2025/03/04/w... I cannot recommend Mike's reply enough. It's exactly what readers need to hear, what journalists need to do.

BeKKKy KKKuts strikes again!

Obviously cruel (to anyone with even an iota of empathy), but also just completely idiotic to be eliminating so many trained, qualified members of the armed services from their ranks at the same time you're (also cruelly and stupidly) doing your best to kick off and get involved in WWIII.

Now THIS is what I’m talking about 🔥 @housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.senate.gov

ALWAYS. PROJECTION.

March at NIH @raskin.house.gov speaking. Congress decides where to spend the $ & they funded basic science and NIH. It’s not up to anyone in the Admin to decide it shouldn’t be spent. It’s Congresses job &they have decided. #bethesda #proscience

New from me: A school district in Pennsylvania voted against adding a Black author's book about the 1921 Tulsa race massacre to the curriculum. Then, the community decided to do something about it.

What a week

🚨🇺🇸🇺🇦 In protest of Trump normalizing relations with Russia, World's largest Ukrainian flag unveiled near the White House.

EVERY single claim and accusation they make is projection. EVERY SINGLE ONE. They say they're working to root out fraud, abuse, & waste? Then they're absolutely, deliberately committing it, instead.

Just doing what they were created to do: protect the property of the wealthy from the people exploited for that wealth.

I DO think Dems need to be doing more, and those 10 who voted with the Trumphumpers should be ashamed of themselves. But I'm scratching my head a little at hearing all about those 10 for 2 days straight, while this is the first I've heard of this moment of solidarity.

The media is not covering the protests against oligarchy that are occurring nationwide. Portland, Oregon - 3/8/2025 at noon ✊

TF did these morally bankrupt morons think?? He has an unambiguous history. He tanks businesses, doesn't pay his bills (much less, debts), & punishes even the most constructive critics while failing to reward loyalty, as he views it only as his due, and cashes out everywhere leaving wreckage behind.

“They did this to me while I was 8 months pregnant in the rain…I only had a tank top and leggings on, it was freezing, I probably walked for 6 hours before I got picked up.” Starlight tours still happen to this day, alongside other forms of constant brutality Indigenous people face via the RCMP

"Farmer" lol. Sure that's the literal meaning of "boer", but in South Africa it's shorthand for colonizing whites & descendants. Does he think he's being subtle? Or is he completely ignorant of the history and deeper meaning of the term? en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boers

EW that headline 🤮🤮🤮

Has "detox" ever been used unironically by anyone who wasn't a con artist or snake oil salesman?

I missed the news about these causing harm to our ozone layer and wanted to read more, so here's an article I found with more details, including a link to the studies that support these claims: gizmodo.com/starlink-sat...

... Is this what is supposed to be bringing the stranded astronauts home? In, like, a week?? BIG yikes.

EVERY. TIME. Complicity will not save you. You will enable the harm, even death of those more vulnerable than yourself, and then you will move up a spot on their elimination list. If you don't have the empathy to fight for trans rights, then do it because otherwise, you'll fucking be next.

Supporters Praise Trump For Upholding Traditional American Value Of Supporting Murderous Dictators For Political Gain
