Expecting this IRL any day now.

True. But stormtroopers are still absolute dolts.

1/ For ProPublica’s “Life of the Mother” series, winner of the 2025 Pulitzer Prize for public service, we reported on five pregnant women who died after not receiving timely medical care in states with strict abortion bans. These are their stories 🧵

Gabriel: Look at this shit. God: What? Gabriel: The Met Gala. This is some golden calf shit here. God: You think I should smite them with something? Gabriel: Does these people strike You as folks who will take a hint? God: Fair. I’ll just stick with the 2025 stuff we planned.

All in this world is folly. The World Titanic has already hit the iceberg. Lifeboats, man. Lifeboats.

Let this truth burn your mind.

Let everything happen to you: beauty and terror. Just keep going. No feeling is final. Don’t let yourself lose me. —From the poem Let Everything Happen by Rainer Maria Rilke

New from 404 Media: the Signal clone the Trump administration uses was just hacked. TeleMessage makes a modified version of Signal that archives messages for government agencies, Waltz used it. A hacker got some users' messages, group chats. Hugely significant breach www.404media.co/the-signal-c...

Reminder: Last August, ProPublica and @documented.bsky.social obtained more than 14 hours of videos from Project 2025’s Presidential Administration Academy. You can watch them all below 👇

As economic, political, and environmental pressures continue to reshape our daily choices, it’s becoming increasingly clear that the era of hyper-consumption that defined the past century is no longer sustainable.

Something you learn from reading history is that there was no "THE" abolitionists as it relates to U.S. based chattel slavery abolitionism. These folks were at each other's necks CONSTANTLY. They did not agree. They had vicious political breakups, they supported diff tactics. Movements are messy AF.

this would be so funny if this guy wasn’t president

Note that the Nazis did this with ghetto currency. Again & again Israel embraces Nazi Germany's tactics, strategies and goals. I'm the grandchild of holocaust survivors; my solidarity is with my people who fill the mass graves of Eastern Europe and the Palestinian people experiencing genocide today

Whelp, time to create my "hostile and political act" T-shirts.

Expect this with increasing regularity. Also, cooling pools for spent nuclear reactor rods require uninterrupted electricity. In the event of an outage, on-site diesel generators are designed to provide power only for DAYS. What if power is out for MONTHS? War, solar storm, sabotage...take a pick.

Multiple articles have been written about Bluesky being a dangerous echo chamber while the world’s richest and influential men are having their brains cooked in increasingly extremist group chats

And when it happens, that's the excuse Trump will use to declare martial law.

A leader of V-Dem, a group that rates democracies across the globe, predicted that U.S. Democracy will “die by summer” at a recent journalism conference, says Maria Ressa, Nobel laureate and journalist. Perugia-Italy

Silicon Valley is run by people who genuinely think the world as we know it is going to end in the next few decades. Many also WANT this to happen: they WANT the biological world to be replaced by a new digital world. They WANT "posthumans" to take the place of humans. A 🧵:

Not a single international cargo ship at the Port of Seattle. The port is dead. The last ship from China will dock at a West coast port on the 29th, and the last Chinese ship will dock on the East coast around May 10th. After that, there will be no more shipments arriving from China. We’re screwed.

The miracle is right in front of you.

GOOD.

There's a whole cadre of writers like Yglesias. Moral sellouts for hire. Or as I like to say, "mercenary *intellectuals*" paid to wag the Overton window evermore to the right.

More public servants like this. I'll be watching Kat's progress.

Uh-oh.

The future does not include your indoctrinated ambitions and plans. Yield or break. Abandon what you were taught was everything. There are other worlds waiting for us to imagine.
