Everyday, people tell me they feel helpless in the face of the onslaught and ask what they can do to stop it.They may want grand gestures, but it's collective work that matters: 1. Feeling frustrated by the complicity of corporate media, support independent journalists—like @kattenbarge.bsky.social

No one is reporting on the media coverage/discourse around Blake Lively-Justin Baldoni & all the unseen forces at play like @kattenbarge.bsky.social/@spitfirenews.com. As always, this is about more than just 1 woman & has such tremendous implications for how we treat women/survivors writ large

Absolutely incredible reporting on social media manipulation. The Blake Lively situation is Amber Heard all over again

For my first @spitfirenews.com piece, I investigated the tactics used to make stories and information disappear on social media platforms like Reddit. This piece is about Blake Lively, but it’s also about how to manipulate the masses about anything. spitfirenews.com/p/the-blake-...

This was the last thing I worked on at NBC News and I’m so glad we were able to publish it. It’s about KOSA and tech legislation billed as protecting children that would actually give Trump’s admin unprecedented power to censor the internet. Kids are fighting back. www.nbcnews.com/video/kosa-i...

Sex workers, LGBTQ people, pro-Palestine accounts, and anyone else shadowbanned on major social media platforms: You can submit a comment to the FTC about your experience. mashable.com/article/ftc-...

Spoke with @mashableofficial.bsky.social about why it's essential that researchers + the users that are most affected by censorship (SWs, LGBTQIA+ users, activists etc) respond to the FTC's consultation on shadowbanning. Thanks @annaroseiovine.bsky.social for asking me! mashable.com/article/ftc-...

this comment just made all of conservatives’ weird and conflicting attitudes towards sex make sense to me

The first thing I notice in this photo — of the Nazi raid on Institut für Sexualwissenschaft, Berlin's pioneering sex research center— is the nude photographs. Demonization of "pornography" is critical to justifying censorship. Defending it is critical to combatting the fascist project.

Needless, stupid, and cruel

Today we joined more than 40 journalism organizations in signing this statement, led by @spj-posts.bsky.social, condemning the campaign underway in Washington to penalize independent reporting on the government and its activities......

okay, it’s time for me to finally weigh in: it’s probably a bad sign that guys are just doing sieg heils in public again

In case anyone missed it, we have reached the "arrest teachers and librarians" part of the fascism The books in question are largely LGBTQ+ literature and resources. Though any book with sex with it can be targeted. Or rather, the librarian can if a child reads it. This was Page 5 of Project 2025.

Absolutely this. I’ve been reporting on ASMR for over a decade now. It’s a relaxation tool that is supposed to produce sensations associated with being calm and happy, even lulling people to sleep. The White House invoking it alongside immigrants being shackled w/o due process is social manipulation

someone put their pronouns in their email signature in 2017 and now the world's most irksome Boer has my social security number

idk what it is about this site that makes people want to talk down to everyone they see but can it stop. no one is handing out grades there is no way to get an A+ at bluesky school.

Our members at @nbcnews.com, again faced with layoffs by @nbcnews.com that violate labor law, are refusing to back down. Say it with us: UNION BUSTING IS DISGUSTING....

JFC, what a damning investigation

I always knew the outrage over they/them pronouns was bullshit but in particular you have some the same people accepting that Elon Musk named his trophy kid a string of letters, numbers, and symbols without issue

In a statement, AP editor Julie Pace said the White House told the AP if it did not align its editorial standards with Trump’s executive order renaming the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America, it would be barred from accessing Trump's executive order signing

📣📣WE HAVE A DEAL!📣📣 Last week, @nymagunion.bsky.social reached a tentative agreement with New York Magazine and Vox Media. We could not be prouder of our members who made it clear they were ready to withhold their labor if Vox Media didn’t meet them with a fair contract.

Google Calendar has removed key cultural events from their site including: • Pride Month • Black History Month • Holocaust Remembrance Day • Jewish Heritage • Hispanic Heritage • Indigenous People Month

Shopify is happily processing the sales for the Yeezy swastika shirt. Tell me again why porn stars can't get sales processing but a Nazi can.

And it doesn't stop at porn. Its also sex ed. it's also information about sexual health. It's also written erotica. Its also stores that sell sex toys. It's also anything that's pro lgbtq. It's also sex scenes in movies. It will impact everyone eventually.

Vought was just confirmed by the Senate, with all Republicans voting for. All Dems voted against. In addition to believing that porn should be outlawed, he believes that any trans info *is* porn. He also drafted the porn "age-verification" laws now being passed in state after state. Do the math.

I guarantee the porn industry is doing more to fight for your privacy and human rights at this moment than Gracie Abrams is

Anti-DOGE rally getting underway now outside the U.S. Department of Labor, where DOGE was reportedly scheduled to have a meeting today. Big turnout from AFGE, one of the federal unions in Trump’s crosshairs.
