So, the idea being you tell someone you’ve vaccinated them against a disease, chuckle to yourself because you didn’t, and then watch them get that disease and die

Sound diagnosis from @jenvictor.bsky.social: "The growing political crisis in the US is a product of an organizing document that doesn’t meet the realities of the time—not because it can’t, but because those with power won’t use it."

Truth. The problem is the way we've empowered private equity assholes and investor oligarchs, and we've let that happen so much that the private equity assholes and oligarchs now think they're entitled to our government.

The right word is not deported. It is disappeared. That is what’s happening, and glad to see the Guardian call it what it is.

Six months after I decided to learn some Irish, the voices changed to ones that were clearly computer-generated. Reddit/forums complained about the pronunciation of certain words. That was the point Duo changed from a learning company into a payment receiver with a language problem.

Fascinating and disheartening to see how quickly the western world did a speedrun straight to Nazi eugenics and sharia law over the faint possibility of trans people getting to pee in peace.

If I see masked men with no badges trying to abduct somebody, of course I am going to get in their way. That's called being a good samaritan. There is no reason for secret police in a democratic society and in the long run we need to rollback the normalization of these tactics in law enforcement.

ICE is now asserting it's a federal crime for bystanders to request that masked people in plain clothes show identification as they're handcuffing folks and stuffing them into unmarked vans.

“Maybe they’ll find it as they move to indict her. Or maybe this case will blow up in spectacular fashion. But until they actually look for evidence of corrupt intent, this is a media campaign against the judiciary, not a criminal prosecution.”

New statement from Mohsen Mahdawi, dictated from ICE detention to his lawyers: "I am in prison but am not prisoned…Speaking of Palestine does not only qualify as freedom of speech but it is also about our humanity. Keep the hope alive. I will see you under the sun."

This administration and their foot soldiers at ICE are the criminals who need to face justice. The bigots and anti-DEI crusaders are the degenerates who need to be stopped. Don't let them turn logic upside down. They're a vulnerable minority, fight back.

Important context for this fluff piece about a local police department encouraging people to put their autistic kids in a cop database so the cops know not to shoot them on sight if they are called for help is that RFK Jr wants a central database of all autistic kids so they can be put in work camps

Classic 1989 Brain from the big fella here, just some dumb bit of gossip that snagged in his brain and which he will never stop believing. Absolutely convinced that every onscreen moment of the film Rising Sun really happened, and that he alone can get to the bottom of it.

The FBI just arrested a Wisconsin circuit court judge for failing to assist ICE to its satisfaction in their kidnapping of a human being out of court custody and into a death camp. Any attempt to soften the reality of that statement is fascist propaganda.

Elon Musk's effort to slash government "led to purchasing bottlenecks and increased costs; paralysis in decision-making; longer public wait times; higher-paid civil servants filling in menial jobs, and a brain drain of scientific and technological talent." www.reuters.com/world/us/100...

This so directly out of the Nazi playbook. The very obvious plan is to get rid of the independent accreditors and put all universities under jurisdiction of the federal government. This is how Hitler took over German academia and made it a wing of his party.

Just a reminder that, at a time when treatment for these is improving greatly and people with these conditions can positively flourish, this guy wants to round up neurodiverse people, put them in concentration camps, and possibly kill them.

There have been times we’ve been told on the WGA Board “do not even tell your spouses this” and while I assure you the prospect Ellen Stutzman loooking over her glasses at you, disappointed, is far scarier than the thought of federal prison, that we keep better security than SecDef is pathetic.
