“The truth is clear: the president is using the blunt instruments of the criminal legal system to punish and isolate vulnerable people, while simultaneously trying to avoid legal oversight and flout the protections guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution.” Read the full op-ed here ⤵️

Hunter Schafer announced in an 8+ min video that her new passport misgenders her, presumably because of Trump's announcement that the US govt only recognize gender as assigned at birth. she (rightly) connects it to fascist history, like Nazis burning the Institute of Sexology in 1933 @teenvogue.com

Yes, Steve Bannon gave a very obvious, very deliberate Nazi salute last night. But let's also note that the audience at CPAC cheered for it. That's because COAC is full of neo-Nazis. youtu.be/7E9pXCuJnbc?...

I am obligated to note that the Fort Bliss camp already exists and was used by the Biden admin to hold migrant children and teenagers. In 2021 I got whistleblower recordings of officials discussing filthy conditions and lack of medical care: reason.com/2021/05/24/s...

Hey @chatterton.bsky.social Rufo, among many other things, made up evidence that Haitians were eating people's pets. Now some 500,000 Haitians who were here legally are likely going to get deported. Glad he criticized you in "good faith" though. Enjoy staying on a platform run by the administration

Rufo called me a groomer and sent his audience after my family because I said I was fine with my daughter going to therapy. CPS got called. It took months to get rid of them. My former colleagues thought it was hilarious and did nothing.

I am so sick of this shit. It’s a Sieg Heil. It’s a Nazi salute. Anyone who sees it knows. It’s ridiculous that legal departments presumably won’t let media call it what it is. Bannon made “a provocative gesture that resembled the salute Elon Musk gave at a post-inauguration rally”? Fuck off.

My warmest greetings go out to the wonderful people who built their careers sniffing out “Ukrainian Nazis” under every stone in Ukraine for tasty headlines that fueled Russian war propaganda on this-is-why-Ukraine-must-be-dealt-with, only to get Nazi salutes normalized in their own country.

Years ago, after the Cambridge Analytica scandal, I interviewed a former fb employee, and I remember her continually emphasizing that these tech bros weren't evil geniuses, but were, in fact, dangerous because they were utterly clueless, totally reckless, and had too much power.

Watching Alina Habba (whose family owns parking garages in NY and NJ) urge "everyone" to drive for their commute to Manhattan reminds me of this great moment from Clerks, where the anti-smoking agitator was a "Chewlies gum representative". www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gHq...

The oath of office doesn’t have an “if I’m really scared all bets are off” clause. It is precisely when it’s hard that the oath matters most. When breaking it is the greatest betrayal it can be.

I found out they used puppets with actual puppeteers as stand-ins for where to place the CGI models in Sonic 3 so that the actors didn’t have to act against tennis balls and now I want the puppet cut of Sonic 3.

I unironically fucking love this, for so many reasons Easier for actors, gives jobs to talented puppetmakers and puppeteers, de-sterilizing modern filmmaking... honestly, if the voice actors were present on-set to do rough-cut takes for the sake of giving the live actors a mood to act off? Perfect.

When ordered by Nazis to give lists of disabled people by disability severity, some doctors sent back exaggerated data to protect patients from forced work They didn't know that the "most disabled" were to be killed first The moral here isn't to tell the truth It's to never co-operate with Nazis
