"Frontier Services Group" is an innocuous sounding name for a corporation that would exist in Mass Effect but it's literally a private military founded by Eric Prince to do this

americans think correct.

🚨 WaPo exclusive — The Trump admin has set its sights on deporting **1 MILLION** immigrants this year. How it went from a quiet ambition to a White House strategy. Scooping with @mariasacchetti.bsky.social.

ill-fitting, gaudy, tomato red, made-in-china baseball caps notoriously the zenith of high feminine haute couture 💅🏻

You can’t do “mass” deportation and give due process, and what conclusion you draw from that says important stuff about your commitment to law.

b-but, ur muscle fibers, they're boy ones! and the bones, what about the unchanging boy rocks in ur body? i heard they give u super strength. and ur hair is stronger than steel. it's simply not fair to a fragile feminine waif such as myself

A reminder that one of the biggest reasons Musk and the far right are so focused on trans people is because they literally believe we are a conspiracy to lower white birth rates.

"Israel's mass rape narrative is atrocity propaganda ... [T]here is no excuse for Western media and politicians to keep parroting propaganda whose only purpose is to incite or attempt to justify Israel's genocide of the Palestinian people."

For more than a week, conservative media and politicians have worked themselves into a frenzy over a spectacle manufactured by a fencer who refused to compete against a 19-year-old trans woman. Here is the target of that hate campaign, finally, in her own words.

America’s green bond market has collapsed.

It's gonna be really funny when we get kicked out of the G7

how far are we from trump declaring all elected democrats are antisemites and should kill themselves, and 9/10 of them responding “dear god i am a monster. yessir, immediately!”

Checking my wife's poll numbers before I decide whether I should argue with her

we’re about the witness the most profound, rapid global shift of countries you’d expect to be protective turn hyper-pro-immigration, and vice-versa. it’s will reshape the 21st century in ways not imagined even in the most outlandish sci-fi. countries that open themselves up to change will thrive.

I'm not saying journalists should never interview admitted propagandists. There are journalistic reasons to do so. But if we do, we must be prepared to -- in fact it is our duty to -- challenge vociferously all unsubstantiated claims. Otherwise, we ourselves become propagandists.

Tariffs were supposed to fix the crisis of masculinity, which is why they wanted to bring back the jobs of screwing the tiny screws into to the iPhones, but then they discovered those jobs were done by young women living in FoxConn-run dormitories, so they decided they did not need the tariffs. See.

I do believe that eugenics is the key to this moment & am even drafting something with a friend about how everything we’re seeing them do today comes down to the idea that everyone else should be in service of the perfect white man they imagine themselves to be

One thing I think doesn’t get said enough because it sounds like caping for politicians is these people have been traumatized by Trump. He sent mobs to kill them, got away with it, and has way more consolidated power now. Why we need a new generation of leaders from all ages and walks of life.

“Before playing The Last of Us, I had never thought that a video game could be a work of art” is a new low for The “both sides in 2020” “but what do parents of trans kids say” “rowling’s views on gender spring from her feminism, and her own experience of male violence” Atlantic

Dropping tariffs on electronics but not manufacturing inputs is actually incredibly funny

there’s a style of reporting that’s basically like “the left hasn’t been duped by the transparently bad faith framing of the right, but I, the reporter, very much have.”

what happens when he decides to revoke apple’s exemption until they terminate all DEI and fire their bipoc, trans, and femme employees? what happens if he wakes up one day and remembers how much he hates tim cook? what happens if he doesn’t like the upcoming UI redesign for iOS? what happens if…

these people desire cultural power infinitely more than state power

The Democratic Party would be a more effective opposition right now if *either* the left or the radical liberals controlled the party. There is a lot of room for collaboration, and many of the differences between the groups are not really ideological but idiosyncratic quasi-personal disputes.

i do not think the mainstream press is equipped or capable of covering ideological white nationalists and eugenicists as such, or even capable of noting that this is what they are. it is related to the wide belief that racism is simply a matter of manners.

"Pictures are famous for their humanness, not for their pictureness." Kurt Vonnegut discussion of art in his 1997 novel Timequake offers one explanation why people might find AI creations unsatisfying.

A new Alien Registration Rule, effective today, states any foreign national needs to carry a copy of their passport and most recent I-94 at all times and inform DHS of a change of address within 10 days of moving or be at risk of a fine up to $5k and 30 days in prison: www.mintz.com/insights-cen...

I've got a piece up at @liberalcurrents.com clarifying whether Trump is trying to install merely an authoritarian regime or a properly fascist one in the federal government. My conclusion: we're facing Actual Fascism. www.liberalcurrents.com/yes-its-fasc...

Really want everyone in a position of power and influence to internalize that these people are goons. Their work is illegal, they are implementing it haphazardly and they don’t have the state capacity to do fascism on their own. They are paper tigers. Just Say No.

ppl were so used to advocating for cis gay stuff and i think they weren't prepared for how much of trans rights is an issue of bodily autonomy and the right to modify one's own body. and they were particularly unprepared to consider the right of adolescents to determine the course of their puberties
