We talk a lot about social media radicalizing the population but it's been far more efficient at radicalizing public figures.

my reaction to this is not "oh Trump's losing it" it's "the entire point of fascism is that the leader declares reality and everyone else has to follow it".

Please, if you love anything about this life, stop using ChatGPT and other GenAI. Just stop. Don't use it to dunk on it, don't use it for a laugh, just stop and let that shit wither.

YUP. I get really tired of this framing because I'm just a homebound disabled bitch sitting on my sofa. I don't have the means to fix shit, but I can TELL what's going wrong. And I'm allowed to talk about it without knowing exactly how to correct or make it right.

this is right up there with the McDonald’s coffee lawsuit on the list of pop culture jokes where all the important context was omitted. there’s dangerous equipment on an arena stage! the M&Ms are a test of HOW MUCH ATTENTION YOU PAID TO THE DETAILS OF A CONTRACT FULL OF ARTIST SAFETY INFORMATION

Reminder: Wikipedia actually had to get third-party assessments of its reliability done. As of several years ago, it was more reliable than print encyclopedias.

Trump commits some kind of egregious Watergate-level and impeachable act every week—if not more often—right out in the open. Makes me wonder WTF he is covering up if he feels comfortable publicly doing all the things we know about.

Now that Nick Fuentes is platformed again thanks to Musk, he is able to spread his barely-veiled antisemitism to the masses. This has allowed him to build a massive audience who have become increasingly radicalized against “Zionists” on X. The pipeline to Nazis has never been clearer.

Dem leadership lately: have you seen these egg prices? No bueno! Average Dem winemom: We are a nation of laws, not men, with the same law for the favorite at court as the farmer at his plough or we are nothing.

It’s been 27 days since ICE sent Andry (the make-up artist with “mom” & “dad” tattoos that ICE claimed were TdA tattoos) to be imprisoned in El Salvador. Thank you @repyassansari.bsky.social, @maxwellfrost.bsky.social, @robertgarcia.bsky.social, and @repdexteror.bsky.social for not forgetting him.

When it comes to people with autism, particularly children, RFK Jr wants to make it easier for parents and quack doctors to "experiment" and force dangerous and unproven treatments on them. And he wants to make it harder or outright illegal to counter disinformation that harms this industry.

You can leave me, and about 70 million other voters, out of this "we", @newyorker.com. We warned you, over and over and over. We lived through January 6. We listened to his speeches and believed him. So leave us out of this, and hold the people who chose this, on purpose, accountable.

Yes, that very awkward wording suggests that Alito failed to refer the application to the full Court and the Chief stepped in and brought it "before the Court" before the planes could depart.

Declaring "we'll never have another free election" means everything is hopeless, nothing matters, and if we DO get to vote, it won't count, so don't bother. It's nonsense. We had elections in 2018. The GOP lost. We had them in 2020. Trump lost. They are weak and fearful and we can beat them.

When they ban abortions and dismantle sexual violence prevention resources it’s pretty clear how they expect their desired baby boom to happen.

Fuck the morherfuckers doing this. I don’t say this lightly, but they need to go to prison. End stop. That’s it. You can’t normalize this. You can’t pretend the situation is anything but what it is.

One thing I think needs to be better explained to the general public: international students don’t compete much with domestic students for admission. Int’l students often pay full sticker price for tuition, and that subsidizes financial aid. They help the school admit more domestic students.

As well as flat out wrong and awful to say, this is chilling because it echoes Nazi rhetoric— the “useless eaters” definition that would go on to be the excuse to murder hundreds of thousands of disabled people

I am once again begging people to realize that the law is words on paper and is not self executing. "That's illegal" is not and has never been synonymous with "that's impossible" or "that can't be done." "That's illegal" means "you might get in trouble for that depending on who you are."

We're living in an authoritarian regime. The MAGA coup was successful. People still aren't waking up and seeing what's directly in front of them.

This is also the reason they are starting with pro-Palestinian activists and charges of antisemitism. They as well as many liberals normalized them as legitimate targets associated with terror, thus opening the door for this kind of retribution. It’s a blueprint for targeting other activists.

CBS, like most major outlets, went out of its way to hire Republicans and coddle them in most press coverage, and their reward is a baseless lawsuit and sham FCC "investigations" of all the outlets to hyper fixate on as an enemy of the right, CBS is an erratic choice

As much destruction as the Trump administration has engaged in, they failed in accomplishing the degree of overwhelm they originally desired in the first three months. And they know it. That’s a limited win for us, but a win nonetheless.
