hardware vendors should just not be allowed to write software, or at the very least should not be allowed to set themselves up as the sole providers of software for their hardware

We’ve been ringing the alarm about the dangers of repro data collection but it’s not just period trackers you should be concerned about. Uber/Lyft + other apps tracking geolocation data are also risky for abortion seekers. https://tinyurl.com/2p89nr74

Access journalism is truly a big part of corruption in politics

You know who benefits from gutting the CFPB? Hint: it's not people who work to earn a living. It's the big banks that contributed to the '08 financial crisis. Predatory lenders. Greedy CEOs like Elon Musk who profit from removing our accountability guardrails. www.masslive.com/politics/202...

A lot of republican events are straight up dangerous for formal acts of protest, but going NIMBY-mode on townhalls seems like a perfect way to distort the calculus of GOP electeds

dictatorship will not bring down the cost of eggs but also you should probably organize against the social fact of dictatorship itself

mfw (stupid) cyberpunk is becoming real and madonna is gonna become the first political rockerboy

Remember when Philly had gender markers on public transit passes? All the arguments for having them removed apply to all other ids. It’s bs.

Heard a song from the 80s reference a "long distance call" and it occurred to me that this is a concept that no longer holds any emotional currency whatsoever

if u store ur music locally auxio is still pretty cool for an android music player github.com/OxygenCobalt/A…

Agreed. There’s no need for passport gender markers.

most of what trump is doing is stuff that presidents have done in the past. it's just kind of all at once, and done with bonus chaos. 1

The Republican Party has been the motivating force behind most visceral patriotism in my life, because their efforts to destroy the cosmopolitan liberal democracy in which I was born have made me realize that I am in fact quite attached to it, and willing to countenance a lot in it’s defense.

Republicans are holding back our own tax money from us to extort policy changes that Californians voted against. Treating us like conquered territory to be looted www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

Homan is going berserk saying THEY'RE TEACHING THEM TO AVOID CAPTURE When in reality it's literally what 99.9% of us do when anyone knocks on the door about anything

"The crowd again started shouting 'tax Elon,' 'tax the wealthy,” “tax the rich' and 'tax the billionaires.'" The county went 68% for Trump www.lagrandeobserver.com/news/local/r...

NEW: A federal judge blocked Trump’s effort to stop funding grants and contracts that have DEI components, saying it is likely viewpoint discrimination and worded so vaguely that it will chill free speech. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

Exactly. The root here isn't that bigots have some philosophical concern which compels them to care about what appears on someone else's government ID. Rather, the purpose is practical and malicious: to force trans people to disclose it—and, often, to explain it—every time they show ID.

The only data that cannot be compromised or abused is data that does not exist: I absolutely agree Democrats should be running on these ideas.

Reiterating that this would be one of the largest tariff hikes in modern US history—could affect >$300B in US imports, mostly from close allies like 🇨🇦🇲🇽🇪🇺🇯🇵🇰🇷, & if targeting vehicle parts would drive up prices for US carmakers in conjunction with existing steel/aluminum tariffs

You can really feel the anti-Trump sentiment building, and it's not Kitchen-Table Americans complaining about egg prices, it's about the contempt for the rule of law, the reckless cuts, the abandonment of allies, the mistreatment of other Americans

Judge Adelson has granted a preliminary injunction in NADOHE v. Trump, Case 1:25-cv-00333-ABA in D. Md., enjoining the Termination, Certification, and Enforcement Threat provisions of EO 14151 (the DEI EO) on First and Fifth Amendment grounds. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

One of the other dads from church was like "oh you paint minatures? I want to start doing that!" so we went in together on a kill team starter set, and this Friday I'm having him and the other dads over to paint. So I removed the pieces from the sprues, primed them and basically made goodie bags

Yeah I think if a Dem Tea Party happens it's not gonna be about ideology, it'll be about temperament

I genuinely thought they would cave after the entire press corps went along with their exile, very, very glad to be wrong

Loyalty is absolutely a virtue. Slavish devotion, however, is a vice.

The AP just sued White House press staff for revoking its access after refusing to adopt "Gulf of America." Citing Sherrill v. Knight, the AP argues the WH violated its First and Fifth Amendment rights by unlawfully restricting access over editorial content. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Think we're going to get into social media quote graphics business. Everybody else just does this while we're cutting woodland creatures out of stock photos. Work smarter not harder.

When I see Americans standing up for democracy, the republic, and each other in the face of fascism it makes my heart grow like five million sizes.

GOOD (I mean, bad that they had to do this, but good that they are.)

very pleased the framing that the NYT is a word game company that gives away a free Nazi newsletter as a happy meal toy is catching on
