One of the reasons I think “defund the police” is a great slogan is that you get to repeatedly tell people that studies show that police don’t actually solve murders, and in fact one-third of stranger-murders are committed by police.

I'm sorry but expecting civilians to follow the law when law enforcement is out openly committing crimes left and right is a joke. Either we have a system here or we don't. Pick one.

If you needed a reminder that the people working on #Paralives are mostly from Quebec... The release trailer couldn't make it any more obvious. Hi there, typical corner dépanneur! And that classic Bell Canada / Telus phone booth.

What is happening right in LA is illegal in multiple ways. This was warned of to happen, yet people voted for it anyway. This is the beginning of civil unrest.

Don’t play into this dude’s game. You will never, ever oppose fascism in the perfectly appropriate way to please him. This is the same guy who made fun of pro-choice protesters because he thought they were overreacting since Roe would obviously never be overturned.

Shoutout to those fighting fascists by throwing stones at ICE and shoutout to those fighting fascists by trying to sail into Palestine with aid for genocide victims. So many inspiring heroes on the timeline today.

I think it’s a huge misconception we need a single app that grows infinitely and makes everyone happy. This is a “business” mindset. And that model has consistently failed. It’s also driven families apart. This is Threads model now and it’s a censorship machine. I’m good with the community we have.

its always fun when “violent protest” becomes a discourse du jour and when you look up what that violence entails its guys dragging a dumpster into the road to stop the cops from shooting them in the face with tear gas canisters

The amount of irony that comes from furries on FA complaining about seeing babyfurs and also trans babyfurs in a banner celebrating PRIDE MONTH is massive. Like furry is a largely Queer community. If you get triggered at the sight of a baby bottle or pacifier, that's an issue with your very soul.

Martial Law incoming, or at least about to be attempted. It was always about creating excuses to wrest more control away from anyone except The Worthy. The biggest hope against this is that regardless of the level of intimidation and violence, that the protests do not stop - for anything or anyone.

"The global rise of far-right political parties is because the left isn't arguing good enough with the people I demand we still give a national voice to" this is just boot-licking like this serves no purpose but to be pro-fascism while pretending it's the civil approach, and also is wrong

"Conservatism," VERY broadly defined, is a desire to maintain the status quo (or return to an earlier one). The axiom of "people grow more conservative as they get older" assumes that people mostly have their basic needs met and have some political agency. Millennials like us have NEVER had that.

The weird, often whitewashed way the civil rights movement is taught (or not taught) seemed to convince a lot of people that nonviolence was met with nonviolence, instead of you know, dogs, hoses, beatings, death, etc

Apple Research just published a whitepaper about how genAI doesn't "reason" at all but just pattern-matches, completely falling apart with any somewhat complex logical task. Not that that's news to anyone here, but if for whatever reason you've needed a whitepaper to cite...

All of the talk about "peaceful protest" makes me think of all the times I have been part of a protest where the police cracked someone over the head and then charged that person with assault. They will call you violent. You can't control that or other people.

A good counterargument to "you shouldn't do [xxx] because then the fascists and press will call it a riot!!" is you can literally not show up and the fascists, the press will still call it a riot

Here’s who ABC News is caving to in this right-wing pressure campaign: a racist who’s currently quote tweeting Mike Cernovich, who once said date rape is a “liberal fiction,” in order to chastise a conservative lawmaker for being insufficiently anti-immigrant.

We later found out that, just like the Boston Charlotesville counter protest, the police had always intended to kettle, assault, and sweep up as many of us as they could. It was always their intention to use these events to attempt to harm and arrest "assorted troublemakers," as they call us.

The AI industry is full of blatant lies, but the claim that we can reliably detect AI-generated writing is one of the worst. The idea that these pseudoscientific AI writing detectors are being used to justify punishing young people makes me incandescent with rage.

Healthcare for seniors is not waste, fraud, or abuse. Food for hungry kids is not waste, fraud, or abuse. A $45 military parade for a draft dodging felon is waste, fraud, and abuse. Paying the National Guard to attack US citizens is waste, fraud, and abuse.

feel like the situation in these LA basements illustrates what @andreapitzer.bsky.social called the "concentration camp tendency" - you don't have to have full on classic "camps" to be a society hurtling toward something very bad - it's good to see our politicians fighting back!
