Worst. Episode. EVER.

Oh fuck, what a grift. J6 terrorists sue a DOJ controlled by Trump; Trump orders DOJ lawyers to settle for an undisclosed amount, both sides agree to an NDA. This can happen dozens, hundreds of times. Just an ingenious way to funnel tax dollars to far-right terrorist groups.

Some good news today! The stop work order for those providing legal representation to unaccompanied children has been cancelled.

"Approximately 500 NIST staffers, including at least three lab directors, are expected to lose their jobs at the standards agency as part of the ongoing DOGE purge, sources tell @WIRED." www.wired.com/story/the-na...

Absolutely shocking and very worrying from NOAA www.newscientist.com/article/2469...

It really fucking burns me that Hoffman, Joplin, Ledger, Belushi, Hendrix, and all those folks die of drug overdoses but this freak keeps on chugging.

i think it is cool that de facto first consul of the united states is a drug-addled maniac and deadbeat dad with a breeding fetish

#infosec #cybersecurity question. Can you think of any good examples of breaches where socially engineered physical access was one of the primary attack vectors?

NEW: Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion, according to ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis, which found the sepsis rate for women hospitalized as they miscarried in the 2nd trimester shot up by more than 50%. https://propub.li/43487Tj

This is incredible reporting that must shock the conscience of each and every one of us.

I am begging the media to put the focus on what was cut, and what the effects of those cuts are likely to be, rather than some nebulous topline number that implies to people that they’re actually doing what they say they are their “savings” will cost us far more than this, in money and terror

Please stop saying it saved money until you understand the value of what was cut. They are downsizing, and if the stuff getting cut had real value, its not a saving.

A Jewish American named Mordechai Brafman shot at two people 17 times because he thought they were Palestinian. He expressed joy at believing he killed them. He only injured them. Who were they? Two Israeli Jews, a father & son, the Rabeys. And it gets even worse yet. 1/3

In South Carolina, tonight: “I have an ectopic pregnancy. It’s on my ovary. They’re making me risk my ovary even though I don’t want to. They refuse to do the surgery.” #ForcedBirthNation Original Post: www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2yCKENt/

Ffs. Just cutting government waste... From www.military.com/daily-news/2...

hello cis friends this is what people mean by trans genocide if a type of person does not officially exist, then any harm against them cannot be measured or reported this headline change isn't even being caused by an executive order it's simply the NYT editors deciding we don't deserve to exist

Hundreds of asylum seekers from around the globe are being trapped by the US in a Panama hotel where they'll eventually be sent to a camp in the jungle. One Chinese man said “I thought: America is a free country with respect for human rights. I had no idea it was like a dictatorship.”

First nukes, now eggs

The governor of Missouri eliminates diversity, equity, and inclusion in a ceremony with five white men and one white woman… I’m surprised they let her in.

o fuck

Our system was not designed for a party system in which one party can gain control of all three branches after having radicalized against democracy, having lost all sense of shame about telling easily disprovable lies, and having built a hermetically-sealed media environment for their supporters.

Helping low visibility and blind users use this site in a meaningful way is a good thing. Don't be a shitty shit muffin.

again, with how hard Trump fought against releasing his returns, this should be the easiest messaging layup in history

This is a program for teenagers with serious disabilities who are finishing high school and transitioning to their next steps in life. Trump just axed it, effective immediately, in the middle of the night, with no notice.

Attributed to Napoleon, who ended democracy in French, this quote was also used by Anders Breivik, the far-right anti-immigrant terrorist who murdered 77 people

Portuguese editorial cartoonist Zez Vaz reaches back to Tiananmen Square to call on American defiance.

Votebeat reporting showed how states that left ERIC were struggling to maintain voter roles. Unsurprisingly, there is a strong correlation of states that left ERIC and states that had large voter registration purges in 2024. www.votebeat.org/2023/12/13/c...

Oh. Good. That won’t be a problem.

This comment on r/fednews really stood out to me. Trump and Musk want people to think they're firing do-nothing "bureaucrats," but they're really getting rid of people dedicated to serving this country and keeping it operational. I hope these stories get told.

It should be a source of profound embarrassment that a bunch of FedSoc lifers are taking a more vocal and principled stand against the corrupt Eric Adams deal than most elected Dems.

“in four years, you don't have to vote again.”

DHS fired more than 400 employees today, including 130 people from CISA. If you work or worked for CISA or have information about what's going on there, you can reach me on Signal at KimZ.42

Termination notices going out this afternoon to more than 300 employees of the National Cancer Institute. Access likely ends today. Four weeks paid leave and that’s it. Strong power move for Team Cancer.

"coffee is only good when it is served in jim crow conditions"

Increasingly likely that there is some sort of nuclear incident while Trump is in office purely because of the bumbling idiocy of the ongoing techno fascist state capture.

Reporters, please! Put your dukes up to defend yourselves! Barring the Associated Press is a line in the sand. They are a nonprofit focused on news – no billionaires involved – with an enormous domestic and international audience. @apnews.com Stick up for your fellow journalists and yourselves!

This is almost too stupid to comment on, but I hope it's clear to everyone what's going on here: authoritarians bully you into doing little shit like this as a way to train you to comply, to grease the skids for bigger things. You talk yourself into a little thing, the next thing is easier.

Protest at Stonewall tomorrow. You can’t spell Stonewall without the T.

Scoop: The databases powering DOGE.gov are insecure, and people outside the government have already pushed their own updates to the site to prove it: www.404media.co/anyone-can-p...

Dentist: I see you're clenching your jaw and grinding your teeth. Is there something recent that's happened in the last few months? Me: I work in human rights.
