Being right isn’t much consolation, but people looking around now and realizing it’s helpful to listen to the wide array of voices on the left who have warned loudly about fascism rather than following the appeasement oriented center would be meaningful.

One of the smallest acts of resistance you can do right now that will do very much to signal that you are on the side of reason and democracy is where a mask. Start protecting yourself and others from the pandemic. it’s also a very subtle show of defiance and community.

This is their plan: Step 1: exploit legitimate pain suffered by young people and families caused by online harm Step 2: implement government-mandated online ID checks to "keep kids away from harmful content" Step 3: define all LGBTQ content as "harmful to kids" Age verification is a trojan horse

Not aggressive, fascist. Literally a proposal for fascism - they want to stand up a paramilitary force and establish a giant set of camps. Being proposed by Trump allies to happen before the 2026 elections. Literally happening right in front of us.

Universities really need to pay attention to this. It's not just about the indirects and frozen funds. If these layoffs continue, which by all signs are continuing and going well beyond probationary employees, these agencies will not be functional, including NIH, CDC, and NSF

My latest in @theguardian.com argues that Trump’s obsession with immigration is an obsession with it as a tool of segregation and white supremacy, which is how it has long been used in the United States. www.theguardian.com/us-news/comm...

Gaza, October 23: 2.3 million people Gaza, today: 1.5 million people. Biden aided the genocide of 800,000 people. That ~40,000 number came from the very early days when the Israelis murdered everyone whose job was to track deaths, and the complicit media never bothered to extrapolate

Every safety regulation was written in blood, frequently with a body count higher than one, and it’s not political to put the blame on people who want to “move fast and break things” when they start breaking human lives.

the part these venture capital fucks don't get is that no one i've ever met truly makes music or art because it's enjoyable, they do it because they have to, because the only thing worse than making art is not making art

My only remaining hope now is that the AI bubble bursts before the government has the chance to make our entire country dependent on a technology doomed to fail. What an absolute disaster for us all.

This account, "cat lover community" has stolen images from MANY of us, including me, @fishtopher.bsky.social , and @jortsthecat.bsky.social . I recognized every single cat they posted so unless you WANT that you should probably check to see if they've done it to you and take appropriate measures

something funny is that supporters of #KOSA have been insisting since the very first version in 2021 that the bill is perfect and has no problems and can't be used for censorship then each time they make a round of changes they're like "we've fixed all the problems that we pretended were not there"

TikTok is a trip right now. This edit about the assassination of the healthcare CEO went viral, got taken down, was reloaded and taken down again. Now people are uploading screen recordings of it. You’ll see why. It goes hard. (I’m posting this as a study on the social mood, not an endorsement.)

"he was a human being with a wife and family" how many families has this man destroyed by denying them life saving medical treatment based on class? why does he deserve a dignity that he actively stripped from other human beings?
