Hey reporters: it’s not “mistakenly deported,” it’s “kidnapped and disappeared within an overseas prison camp.” You have a responsibility to get it right, not to avoid hurting people’s feelings with the truth.

The top five egg producers own roughly half of all U.S. laying hens. The biggest of those corporations is Cal-Maine, which just announced quarterly profits of $509 million — more than 3x what it made a year ago. Corporate concentration + bird flu = a price-hiking free for all.

RIP Wilson Center. Musk staffers visited the center, and shortly after, its leadership staff and senior government employees were ousted. Dozens of federal employees, about a third of the center’s workforce, were also slated for administrative leave.

We live under an oligarchy that doesn't see us as living beings. We're units of exploitation to our corporate overlords. They see us as components in a large-scale production process designed to extract the greatest possible profit. Then as it was, then again it will be.

Don't trust "AI" and also realize that the push to have "AI" in everything happened because some tech people wanted to get rich and other tech people didn't want others to get rich without them, and now they've all spent too much money on a bad product and are trying to scramble out of the hole.

Just a reminder that fascists, authoritarians, dictators of all stripes destroy archives— books, museums, databases, &c— because those things provide windows onto a plurality of other ways we might organize the world. And so preserving, defending, and spreading that knowledge harms those regimes.

i need people commenting on politics, reporting on politics to understand "fox news has now turned on trump" is not a thing. even if one or two commentators on that network say an errant thing that contradicts trump, its not a thing. fox news is the pr arm of the gop and conservatism. period.

Black faith leaders have called for a 40-day "fast" from Target for Lent in response to their compliance with Trump's resegregation agenda. Those of us who aren't already boycotting Target, committing to this effort seems very doable!

Trudeau: "He talked about banking again today in a tweet, which doesn't make any sense because 16 banks are currently active in Canada holding about $113b worth of assets in this country... what he wants is to see a total collapse of the Canadian economy, because that'll make it easier to annex us."

Trump's creation of DOGE and appointment of Elon Musk to lead it is unconstitutional. It is unacceptable that Musk is using this unconstitutional appointment to try to cut the federal government to the bone. Today, I filed a lawsuit to shut this illegal power grab down.

yeah the issue isn't that salmonella never appears here in the US, it does; the issue is that when it does, teams of dedicated civil servants track the outbreak, find the source, spread the word, and recall the bad food. and will they keep doing that? will "they" still exist in any meaningful sense?
