“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

I love how a lot of the "tech will solve it all" people despise some of the legitimate advances that have made many people much happier like remote work and telehealth. "Technology will make your life better." "No, not like that, we meant by feeding you algorithms to make you a Nazi."

I feel so sick. Enough with the lies, enough with the games. They know exactly what they're doing. This is a neo-Nazi movement. Proudly so. The only reason they've kept it coded up until now was to take advantage of those who didn't want to believe it. No more looking away. Face up to what it is.

REVEALED: we identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, "GlomarResponder," as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.

I just want people to look around and notice that politicians and pundits are accepting crazy ideas like taking over Canada and building concentration camps for immigrants and people on medication and debating them. The problem isn’t just Trump. He’s a symptom of a larger disease.

Brian Gibbs had no clue Friday would be his last day at his dream job. The education technician park ranger at Effigy Mounds National Monument in Iowa reported to work, only to be terminated on despite receiving an exceptional performance evaluation in the fall.

Want to go visit the national parks this year? Sorry. The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired. www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

I would’ve thought Trump had already found a way to alienate most people after his words and actions taken through 2024, but if he hadn’t gotten to you before, he will get there now. Unless you’re a fellow strongman or a groveling billionaire.

What’s so sad is federal workers like this who got into a line of work that was never going to make them rich are getting fired so rich greedy assholes can save an inconsequential amount of tax dollars (to them) that they don’t need in the slightest.

Elon Musk is an idiot on an almost inconceivable scale. He had his high-school toadies pull a random list from a database he doesn’t understand, and on that basis alone decided that 60 MILLION SOCIAL SECURITY ENROLLEES, out of 72 million total, are fraudulent. 83% fraudulent!

A good general epistemic rule of thumb: If you have spent a few hours or weeks studying an area large numbers of smart, educated people have worked in for decades, and you believe you have discoverer an earthshattering truth they all missed, your default should be to regard this as VERY unlikely.

Measles requires 95% vaccination rates for herd immunity. It has a 16.2% case fatality rate for unvaccinated children under 5 years and 24% for children under 9 months (who are unable to be vaccinated). 30% of the survivors experience severe complications like blindness, deafness, or encephalitis.

This is a letter written in anger by someone Trump picked, a Federalist Society member and former Scalia clerk, who is still offended by the naked corruption she’s been asked to support. We all must stand to defend the rule of law.

The "large scale social deception" contract Musk is conspiracizing about was: * first awarded under Trump * paid to Reuters' data division, not the newsroom * for researching defenses against deception * not revealed by "DOGE investigations" and was a public record, visible online for many years

If the shoe was on the other foot, and Obama tried to appoint a guy, a Kennedy no less, to lead HHS, Republicans would have rightfully opposed him. The only reason many of them they didn’t is because they are now fully committed to their emperor.

The elite press, by refusing to discuss any fact that is too negative for Republicans, has made it possible for Republicans to engage in open corruption and authoritarianism, because they know the worst that will ever happen is that "scholars will say this raises questions," which already happened.
