i am BEGGING you before you pop off about paywalls to go to your local library's website and scroll through their digital resources. mine gives me access to NYT, WSJ, WaPo and if its linked with PressReader or a similar app, all the news magazines, sports, fashion, hobby etc. FOR FREE.

This admin is intentionally inundating us with a firehose of chaos. It’s hard to keep track, to stay on top of it all. That is what they want. Your overwhelm is part of their strategy. But you don’t need to fight at every front. Pick your front, pick what you know or love best, and start there.

Is it too late to give Sacha Baron Cohen an Oscar for this? Not a damn lie told. 🇺🇸

They are trying to cripple states that don't allow them to force AI down your throat. Broadband access is a utility now even if we pretend it isn't. AI stans, read the fucking writing on the wall. If an authoritarian government is trying to force something on the public, it is bad.

FWIW, every MAGA-connected account on FB that I’ve seen today has used this exact phrase “sleeper cells” and they’ve ascribed responsibility for them to Biden’s immigration policy. It should be fairly obvious what the PR strategy is here. Any blowback the US might experience is Biden’s fault.

May every single human being on this planet be safe. May every single person be protected from harm. May we bring into being a time in which we are all free from those who do evil— together, speedily and in our days.

it’s even more demoralizing when the history you’re repeating is history you were around for the first time

Instead of CUTTING Social Security benefits, Congress should INCREASE payments by $200 per month and extend the solvency of the Social Security program by 75 YEARS. How? Make the wealthiest Americans pay a fairer share. I’ve got a bill to get it done.

AOC files articles of impeachment against Supreme Court Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito www.nbcnews.com/politics/sup...

THIS JUST HAPPENED: Brad Lander walked through the fire, got burned, and came back with a fucking gasoline can. ICE arrested him — now he’s escorting migrants right past them, again. Most politicians wouldn’t show up. He showed out.

There's a weird left-QAnon thing starting up centered around dubious claims about the 2024 results popping up at the periphery of the internet. I feel like we're gonna hear more and more about this so just laying down my understanding of it now. I think its basically a hoax. 1/a lot

the destruction of chattel slavery is one of the great accomplishments in our nation's history and the reason conservatives hate celebrating it is because doing so legitimizes the black counter-narrative of the united states

Hahahahaha.

Women are lagging behind on going bankrupt on DraftKings, drinking themselves to death, and fist-fighting anyone who looks at them funny on the subway but they can catch up.

if only, oh, every single person of conscience had warned us of this trajectory since 2003

"'If Dems bail on [the GENIUS Act], they will get 0 dollars going forward,' said Avichal Garg, a managing partner at the venture capital firm Electric Capital, which focuses on digital asset technology like cryptocurrency. 'It would be political suicide for them not to support it.'"

What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders? The United States is the only nation to not sign up to a binding global convention to protect the rights of the child, which every other UN-member state has. Also: laws are made by us, not sacred texts, so can and should be challenged.

we've been shouting about this since gamergate btw

For those who think evacuating Tehran is possible based on #Israel’s warnings, which are nothing but a performative act. It would take weeks if not months to evacuate Tehran. What’s represented here doesn’t even come close to capturing the full size of #Iran’s capital city.
