This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

Ezri once told Worf, "The Klingon Empire is dying, and I think it deserves to die … I know this sounds harsh, but the truth is you have been willing to accept a government that you know is corrupt. Gowron is just the latest example." Later that day, Worf killed Gowron. This is a post about DS9.

WHOA! THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED FRAUD. GOP Rep. Kay Granger (TX-12) has been missing for six months. She was just found by a reporter in a dementia care facility. Her staff and others have been keeping this a secret from her constituents. So who’s been making these posts?

On Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day, we pause to honor the 2,403 lives lost—soldiers, sailors, and civilians—whose sacrifices echo through history. 83 years later, their courage and sacrifice still hit us in the heart. We remember them, not just as numbers, but as real people who gave everything.

Let’s say you’re pregnant. Do you want your MAGA sister to know? What if you need abortion care, and have to travel out of state …? Will your sister keep your secret? Will she report you? You know she chose Trump over you once. Why wouldn’t she do that again? — @nberlat.bsky.social

NBC: Mississippi Free Press "Bluesky is getting 20 times the engagement or more than Twitter,” Pittman said. “Seeing a social media platform that doesn’t throttle links really makes it clear how badly we were being limited.” search.app?link=https%3...

If you have a website, a Substack, a YouTube channel, Twitch, IG, FB, or newsletter, you have a vested interest in moving over to Bluesky where your external links aren't throttled. Elon isn't looking out for you; he's looking out for Elon.

Last year, when I was at MSNBC, I did a 10-minute deep-dive into RFK Jr's anti-vaxxer role in the measles outbreak that killed dozens and dozens of kids in Samoa. I hope every Senator voting in his confirmation process for HHS knows about this crucial and awful story:

Good thing Trump’s new HHS Secretary RFK Jr is an advocate for raw milk. That pasteurization stuff that saved hundreds of thousands of kids from bovine tuberculosis and other diseases is all deep state nonsense. 🙄

There have been a lot of times where I feel like we need to have honest discussions on the left about what has worked and what hasn’t, share observations without judgement, but it feels like there isn’t much space for it. I think it’s holding us back. I wonder how and where we can accomplish that.

NEW FROM ME: The government will do things that hurt people. But knowing exactly what it is doing — & therefore who’s most at risk — is at the foundation of fighting against it. Anything else is doing Trump’s job for him. Here’s a start. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/21/o...

this is about 24 hours out of date now but it’s good work and if you are under the impression that House Dems are staying silent about the Mace/Johnson bathroom situation, perhaps because people keep lying to you about it, you should take a look.

Awful. OpenAI (and other AI cos) are making a hard push for getting AI into K-12 schools, which they see as a burgeoning market. Most teachers I've spoken to, meanwhile, say AI is terrible. Outside of computer class, there should be no gen AI in K12 schools, period. techcrunch.com/2024/11/20/o...

This, I beg of all of you. Please call your reps and your reps only. When you call reps who don't rep you: 1. It gives reps to disregard all calls on the subject, 2. It prevents actual constituents from calling in, for starters.

“It’s important not to have this place be an echo chamber” is something that sounds correct but falls apart when you realize it actually means pretending arguments done in bad faith are genuine. It’s the “I’m just asking questions” of social media

resolved: people who insist that all social media sites must be places where users are constantly encountering and arguing with people over fundamental disagreement do so because their actual, real lives are echo chambers where they do not encounter any meaningful difference from day-to-day.
