lotta people are gonna die

it’s not actually funny but it is a little bit funny that RFK jr is putting a psychiatrist and “nutritional neuroscientist” on the vaccine advisory board by which I mean I’m laughing about it but in a slightly hysterical way

Every article about the inevitability of AGI

And there you go

When you look at Trump's cratering immigration numbers, remember what Zohran Mamdani was already doing three months ago — while the rest of the Democratic party was still twiddling their thumbs on detaining student protestors and giving ICE more power:

Worried about how my heart is going to get through the next couple of weeks.

BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.

This picture is helping me get through today.

Project 2025 laid all this unconstitutional horseshit out for everyone to see. America failed an open book test

This is it. This is the ball game. DoD does not have a role in enforcing the law.

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee: “Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”

WATCH: “Holy f*ck — They literally just shot her point blank… I live here…” @lapdhq shoot a woman trying to get to her apartment at point blank range with a rubber bullet. Alexandria’s page (the woman who helps her): www.tiktok.com/@labyrinthlo...

The hard truth is we know Trump & Miller aren’t trying to reduce crime and they aren’t trying to help workers or protect citizens. All they’re trying to do terrorize and get rid of groups they disfavor. We all know this is true yet no one in the press can state it plainly without being fired.

Using the full force of the United States Justice Department to change the name of a drink at a coffee shop on behalf of a foreign government is exactly the type of thing I think about when I go to the ballot box to vote for small government

CNN televising Clooney's Good Night, and Good Luck, a play about a brave journalist who stands up to Joe McCarthy, only for Tapper to immediately retweet a domestic abuser's claim that LA and the BLM protests are the same as Jan 6 is a great example of how prestige journalism is in decay.

Yeah, it’s time to move the Olympics and the World Cup

When someone tells you buses could never be free, ask them how much they pay to take the Staten Island Ferry.

It is completely necessary to support Newsom as a governor fighting an authoritarian president and keep in mind that he has shown himself with incredible clarity to be an individual unworthy of trust who broke the sound barrier in normalizing authoritarianism for personal gain.

America is so fucking good at propaganda you have no clue how good we do that shit. The best to ever do it

I genuinely don’t know how else to explain Americans seeing the federal government invade California and turn around to say “Gosh I hope those protesters stop being violent” other than a completely and totally brainwashed society

I enjoy how Americans will post an image of a man bravely standing in front of a tank at Tiananmen every year to commemorate the wickedness of violence against protestors and then see a protester get trampled by a cop on horseback on CNN in LA and say “well what did he do wrong to deserve that?”

ICE pretended to arrest a 21 yo in order to force her to call her undocumented mother to come leave the house (where she was safe from ICE arrest) to care for her baby. When the mother came, she was abducted and the daughter was suddenly of no interest to ICE. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

me: in cheers frasier said his dad was dead but then when sam visited him in seattle he had to explain that he was lying because their relationship was strained but to me the weirder thing is he never mentioned niles to anyone at cheers the federal soldier being unlawfully quartered in my home: ok

A continuing sign of weakness on the part of our fascist government, not strength. They are a cat stuck up in a tree, climbing higher and higher

ngl this map of scheduled protests for this weekend is *wild*

The mainstream/centrist punditocracy seems to exist in an alternate universe around discussing protests where 1) BLM happened while Joe Biden was President and 2) it resulted in an electoral wipeout for Dems

The advice from most establishment types on either side of the aisle really boils down to this: Trump can do anything he wants, provoke violence, incite insurrections, pardon those who do it and call them patriots. In response, you can wear a pussy hat and march quietly but that's about it.

Periodic reminder that every day is STFU Friday Also, sharing the location of cops in the public performance of their jobs is ironclad First Amendment-protected expression If you're concerned something you've said has you on the Government's radar, call your lawyer instead of posting through it

Coupled with the savaging of NOAA & NWS, this means states are going to be caught unprepared when hurricanes strike, resulting in more damage that they’ll be even less capable of cleaning up. A disaster on top of a disaster.

We need to build some real social stigma around being afraid of cities. You don't have to like them or live there, but a politics built this strongly around watching TV and going "ewww" is embarrassing, and people should be embarrassed by it. It's like "fear of werewolves" being your top issue.

I know it's super inconvenient for everyone trying to go to work and get the kids into summer camps and all that, but the White House is literally trying to start a civil war

Local shithead endorses separate shithead. Groundbreaking.

And if I hear another clueless NYC Dem bleating about "he'll stand up to Trump," I'll lose it on them... HE IS THE MIRROR IMAGE OF TRUMP and HE WILL ROLL OUT THE RED CARPET TO HIM. You are delusional if you don't already know this. Sorry. It's deeply annoying.

Stancil is clearly in the right here

ok cool which groups and identity blocks (sic) should be excluded from the first amendment ? I’ll get a google doc going, you call Harper’s

We found that AI tools - both general like #ChatGPT and research-specific like #Elicit - lack the reliability, relevancy and accuracy to summarise research for teachers. This is important because we have been sold the idea that AI will make research more accessible.

Musk's Twitter is now running paid advertising calling for the extrajudicial execution of protesters in Los Angeles. In most countries around the world, this is a criminal act.

"military-aged males" was used to justify murdering innocent Iraqis. it is being used to justify murdering innocent Palestinians. now they want to use it to justify the murder of Americans do we see how it's all connected yet, or are we still putting that one together?

Yeah my job is pretty cool. My uniform is a tactical vest that’s two sizes too small and a gaiter I bought in a gas station. They send me to sneak into schools to kidnap little kids because people got mad about having to press 1 for English. The president had to warn everyone to stop spitting on me.

yeah I'm not sure this is so much a petty feud between two men as it is the president of the United States sending troops to attack the people they're supposed to protect

These people are such tedious dipshits. We're not colonizing the galaxy, pal, we're getting cooked in our own living rooms and shot by police for peacefully protesting our neighbors getting sent to foreign prison just because their parents brought them to the USA when they were 4

*there is no form of anti-fascist protest that reactionary centrists will find acceptable

“We are so ineffective we are going to try to hassle the cleaning staff at the hotel we’re staying at while they’re swapping our towels” is the most cooked thing I’ve heard. These guys can’t DO anything

At least it’s almost Friday!

This is what every great catch makes you say but I really feel like this is maybe the best catch of this kind that I've ever seen.

the fact that people were told “today you are going to an elementary school to lie to teachers and kidnap kids” and didn’t immediately tell their bosses to go fuck themselves is all you need to know about why ICE should be dismantled

The Overton Window has shifted all the way to ban all non-white people from coming to America. It was never about illegal immigration.
