Joakim Medin sitter fängslad i Turkiet. Hans brott: journalistik. Nu startar vi en insamling för Joakim. Det handlar framför allt om hans juridiska hjälp. Varje krona går till arbetet med att ta hem honom. Målet är en miljon kronor.

the arrest of a judge by ICE and FBI for such bullshit reasons is a Rubicon crossing moment. not the last, but a major one.

Ikea CEO Wants New Desk On His Desk By End Of Day

A support email explained how the user was "using" ChatGPT for something and so out of curiosity I tried it and holy hell it is just garbage in every way, isn't it, just absolute shit.

Swedish journalist Joakim Medin is being charged with 'insult' and 'membership of a terrorist organisation' by Turkish authorities. He risks a 12 year prison sentence. His trial starts on the 30th of April. All European journalists and human rights defenders need to speak out in full force.

Jan Schakowsky, the incumbent in my race, will reportedly not seek re-election. So it seems like a good time to reintroduce myself — I’m Kat Abughazaleh and I’m running for Congress.

Again, Musk "leaving politics" means going back to regular life after fucking countless things up for millions, with no consequences, whenever he wants. Still having a hotline to the White House to get whatever he wants, keeping all the data he stole and cashing in on fat government contracts.

Hearing from a friend who works at VA that DOGE fired their entire prosthetics department at their hospital.

This statement about the transphobic Supreme Court ruling by the UK's Crab Museum (yes a museum about crabs) is better than 99% of the statements I've seen on the topic www.crabmuseum.org/visit 🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀

“We are at a moment right now where people are asking themselves why can’t the Democratic Party defend this assault on democracy . . . and I would submit to you that if you can’t draw the line at genocide, you probably can’t draw the line at democracy.” - Ta-Nehisi Coates

Kanske vill vi intala oss själva att klimatkrisen är diffus och avlägsen för att slippa ta in vilken fara vi, och våra närmaste, faktiskt står inför, skriver Annie Croona.

Trump will reportedly end the IRS Direct File program that allowed taxpayers to file taxes for free. This comes after Intuit, the maker of TurboTax, lobbied the government for years to block IRS free file. Intuit donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration. See how this works?

didn't take much for these guys to go from "big government is bad" to "what's the big deal if you're abducted by the government and trafficked to Mongolia"

Just a reminder that the corporation which proudly promotes its barely-concealed white supremacy on giant posters in the USA is the same company awarded ÂŁ330m to run the NHS Federated Data Platform #PalantirOut x.com/PalantirTech... www.england.nhs.uk/digitaltechn...

OpenAI is valued at $300bn. Let’s say three quarters of its value is not from training data, but research. Taking OpenAI as a benchmark, then: I would happily consider a payment of $44.65m for use of one of my books. I don’t understand what the fuss is about…

When Clive Barker was working on the MUMMY remake for Universal in the early '90s, he had a trans character in the script, and when the studio vetoed it, he basically said "I really can't stress how much I don't need to fucking make THE MUMMY" and left.

apropos of nothing, I think the two journalists who reviewed the video game about wizards and said that you could be an ally and still buy it have a lot to answer for docseuss.medium.com/if-you-say-y...

Planned action! Protest planned at parliament square on Saturday at 1pm to protest supreme court ruling.

evil. nasty. hope it’s hell waking up as you

it has been such a fun decade

New from 404 Media: ICE just paid Palantir tens of millions for "complete target analysis of known populations." Shows Palantir is actively working on, and updating, the technical infrastructure underpinning the Trump administration’s mass deportation efforts www.404media.co/ice-just-pai...

right winger getting cancelled vs. trans person getting cancelled

Trans women ARE biologically women and no biased court can stop that basic fact from being true. Sex is a homeostatic property cluster containing an array of primary, secondary, and tertiary sexual characteristics. Trans people can and do change sex

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

as a millennial of a certain age i can't really dislike Jon Stewart but come the fuck on man, a bunch of people knew. we tried to warn everyone. you and a lot of other media luminaries told us to calm down

Vad bra vi ordnat det. Så här ser himlen ut just nu. Men det är omöjligt att boka ett vettigt nattåg i Europa tre månader i förväg.

the core of tech bro fascism is a bunch of dudes who simultaneously hate artists and the creative process more than anything and lack the ability to interpret reality outside of what they've been taught by movies and TV

STAND and DEMAND the immediate return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. BRING HIM HOME! Abrego Garcia is a SMART Local 100 first-year apprentice who was working full-time to support his young family — before he was brutally abducted and illegally deported to El Salvador. SMART General President…

Remember how much people used to debate if Israel deliberately targeted hospitals and now their own social media just openly goes "hey look at the hospital we just bombed!"

It's not actually some difficult ask for the left to appeal to "normal people," normal people are the left's main concern. People who are extremely online just need to remember which grudges and obsessions come from their timeline. I do not think the left has the biggest problem with this.

i am fascinated by the outright refusal of people in the professional political commentary class to just consider the possibility that there is no plan and that trump really is a braying idiot with the more acute case of narcissistic personality disorder on record
