Tracks, right?

Thursday’s front page of the British Daily Star. Putin’s Poodle

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

At this point, Zelenskyy should not participate in any peace talks which involve the Trump administration He should demand that Europe lead the way-and guarantee Ukraine’s safety if a deal can be reached Clearly, the US is spouting Putin’s talking points and cannot be trusted to negotiate honestly

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

Last night @60minutes.bsky.social opened an otherwise superb segment on Germany’s approach to online hate speech by saying “in the U.S., most of what’s said on online [social media] platforms is protected by the First Amendment.” No.The First Amend protects us against GOVT infringements on speech.

My favorite from today’s 50501 March in Boston.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

Thanks to @mrhenrymorris.bsky.social, I’ve seen the next incisive issue of The PNG Courier

If we’re renaming bodies of water based on petty grievances, I propose that this be renamed the Kendrick Lamar passage.

At Cabaret yesterday, Cliff said his line “…if you’re not against all this then you’re for it. Or you might as well be”. The audience interrupted the scene to applaud that line so strongly it stopped the show. Doing a show about the onset of fascism right now is. . . chilling.

ELON IS ALLOWED IN THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION. NOT YOUR ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES OR STUDENTS & PARENTS. I WILL BE BACK.

The Papua New Guinea Courier is in rare form.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

They want to ban the teaching of the unpleasant facts of American history because people might conclude injustices in the past that contribute to inequalities in the present should be rectified, instead of their belief, which is that some groups of people are inherently superior to others

To every Senate Dem: Shut it the fuck down. Trump’s unconstitutional chaos will kill people. 1️⃣ Oppose all nominees until OMB reverses the freeze. 2️⃣ Deny Unanimous Consent to slow Senate proceedings. 3️⃣ Vote no on all Cloture. 4️⃣ Force Quorum Calls at every opportunity. It's time to fight.

This blatantly illegal move by the Trump Administration should have severe consequences. None of his remaining cabinet picks should receive a single Democratic vote until all is remedied and we can ensure this won’t happen again. Congress holds the power of spending, not him.

“There’s still this idea that news is only ‘real’ once it’s confirmed by big corporate outlets. After all, could one woman with absolutely zero institutional backing in leggings and a sweatshirt in her NYC apartment really be the one to break such an important story? Now we know the answer is yes.”

Bullshit. The public backlash is just too much to handle. Some might be asking if they are either liars or incompetent. They are both.

If Google is going to go along with renaming the Gulf of Mexico I think we need to rename them.

Jim Acosta announces on air that he's leaving CNN and says, "it is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant ... don't give in to the lies."

Ok, quick thread on why DeepSeek is blowing up assumptions about LLMs and maybe the whole (U.S.) AI industry. DeepSeek is an AI lab funded by a Chinese hedge fund, their AI code is open source, meaning freely available to use, which most big U.S. models (aside from Meta’s) are not. That’s the start…

feels like at this point the entire Trump administration could carve swastikas into their foreheads and the media would be all 'let's not rush to judgement'

proud to work at @rollingstone.com

Lina Khan is an absolute, fearless badass. She will be missed. I'm sure the next FTC chair will be committed to serving the public int...ahw, fuck it all.

Can someone explain why TikTok is a bigger national security concern than a social media platform run by a South African technofeudal oligarch actively interfering in our elections and sabotaging our national interests here and abroad?

Don’t fool yourself. Senate Republicans are going to confirm them all.

Ted Cruz is a douche.
