There's "a popular misconception that age-verification mandates are going to be the best way to rein in big tech and hold them accountable," EFF's Molly Buckley told @rollingstone.com - but these laws will just further line the biggest platforms' pockets. www.rollingstone.com/culture/cul...
Pritzker: "Any rational person who has spent even the most minimal amount of time studying human history has to ask themselves one important question: once they get the citizens of this nation comfortable with the current atrocities committed under the color of law, what comes next?"
Idk man, i kinda think the next Dem president needs to absolutely break the Republican governments of Texas and Florida in particular bc this shit shoulsnt be viewed as anything other than a hostile act against Dem states from the Republican governors of those states that cannot go unanswered
I think he should have.
Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"
Pritzker: "I refuse to pretend that any of this is normal ... I refuse to fall into the pundit trap that demands we sacrifice vital constitutional rights if it's being done in the fake guise of fighting crime."
i feel strongly like the "normie lib" position is and should be "don't be fucking weird about how other people live their lives if it harms none, and if you are fucking weird about it, I will count that as having shot first" and frankly that seems like the appropriate position to me
Illinois Gov. Pritzker ahead of Trump National Guard deployment: "To Chicagoans... Look out for your communities and your neighbours. Know your rights. Film things that you see happening... Authoritarians thrive on your silence. Be loud for America."
I keep saying it because it matters: the people talking the loudest about “antisemitism” right now hate Jews. I know it’s confusing. Being Jewish is often confusing.
Last year, Idaho passed a strict law that forbids anyone from providing to a minor any service that could be construed as medical or psychological in nature without parental consent. Now, minors calling the state's suicide hotline are being forced to have a parent speak for them or hang up
This is really nice

September is Baby Safety Month.
wow
Things feel uncertain right now, Illinois. I want you all to know we’re doing everything we can to protect your rights. Make sure you know how to stand up for yourself and others at illinoisimmigrationinfo.org.
SPOTTED: Mobile billboards driving around D.C. demanding federal agents take their masks off — because public servants should face the public. Go follow @ofthebraveusa.bsky.social!
US factory construction continues steadily declining as CHIPS & IRA projects either complete or cancel—in official data released today, overall US manufacturing construction activity is down 7% compared to last year & electronics/electrical manufacturing construction is down 14%
Incredible
See? This shit is why I'm not going to let up on Newsom or other transphobic Democrats: they might otherwise go the Labour route and plunge the country into full on transphobia as policy.
starmer is doing all the anti-immigrant and anti-trans "popularism" stuff the centrists are demanding US dems do and this is the predictable result:
I know so many parents who would gleefully raise more kids if having children didn't cost so much
He loves this stuff. He did the same with Iran and back in Trump I too
Yeah this is what I'm talking about
And it's only the internet and social media that's moderating us.
I think social media has had a moderating effect instead. I think most people had rather extremist views before the internet, and being exposed to instant knowledge and connection moderated most of it. I think what we are facing is just the return of Herbert Hoover and the politics of that time.
nice
And all his photos will look grainy
I think that's because he's up all night planning to invade Venezuela
Maybe he's very young and can't handle his own body yet.
These are good people and we betrayed them.
As an American, who is also an immigrant, I think anyone who tries to define home for you should go kick rocks. They suck!
Idiots
For the record, I don't think he's dying. I haven't thought so once.
If you enjoy… Weekends Safe working conditions Retirement benefits Paid vacations Breaks at work Sick leave Paid holidays … then you’re part of the labor movement. Happy Labor Day.
She should be in prison.
at their core, trans rights, abortion rights, and vaccine rights are actually all the same issue: they’re all about bodily autonomy, and the willingness to concede any of them puts the others at risk.
This is infuriating and you should send it to every veteran you know, because while you can’t lose your civilian job while you’re activated, they don’t have to pay you, and you can’t get the mortgage pause until you’ve been activated a month. American Legion & VFW should be on fire.
Having lived through a decade of harrowing events as a child, I'll say it's *good* to imagine the day you'll move beyond the reach of a cruel person—even if that moment won't fix everything. They want to convince you of your powerlessness, but that's not how this story ends.
A 76% point gap between how satisfied Republicans are with the country versus how satisfied Democrats are. The largest partisan gap ever. news.gallup.com/poll/694370/...
Big popular accounts add alt text to you screenshots challenge (impossible).
I feel it in my bladder too. In fact I can feel precisely how much pee is in my bladder at any given moment.
My hot take on Gavin Newsom is there’s over 30 special elections coming up THIS year alone. secure.actblue.com/donate/speci...
Obsessed with the absolute shade of referring to Giuliani as “Former Masked Singer contestant”

9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nation’s public health system "should alarm every American." It "is unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency, and unlike anything our country has ever experienced." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...
*hugs*
Does that include your home too? As in, your house is in the yard too, and thus available for aiming at. Because I think that's a key point that needs to be clarified.
Since 2023, mobile app development has become too cumbersome, and frankly needs serious anti-trust. At my businesses, we will be retiring all devices running AOSP and iOS next year, primarily for security and dependency concerns.
Switch out iPads with laptops running Linux, and I'll be in favor of this. I'll even donate to the campaign. I've found Linux devices to be easier to support for my zoomer, gen alpha, and boomer friends and family.
Also, what are they gonna do? They can't investigate this shit.
HELL YEAH
Mine would be that there should be state-owned hardware and electronics stores. It's a monopoly, one that needs breaking, in most cities, the goods are incredibly shelf stable, and most importantly it'll prevent shortages.
As someone born here, I support people coming here from other States. Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!
Pritzker on Trump sending troops into cities: "He has other aims other than fighting crime... he would like to stop the elections in 2026 or frankly take control of those elections. He'll just claim there's some problem with an election and then he's got troops on the ground that can take control."
Pritzker: "We don't want troops on the streets of American cities. That's un-American and frankly the president ought to know better. This one doesn't seem to. He hasn't read any books. He doesn't seem to understand the Constitution or the laws."
Pritzker: "No one in the administration -- the president or anybody under him -- has called anyone in my administration or me. It's clear that in secret they're are planning this invasion with US troops."
NEW: A week or so ago, one federal agent kept popping up in videos from Trump's violent DC crackdown—so @jsweetli.bsky.social and I investigated. Turns out he's a 26-year-old US Parks Police officer, a lesser known law enforcement unit currently championed by Interior Sec. Doug Burnum. Our report:
lmaooo
www.rawstory.com/trump-infuri... lmao they’re activating them for 29 days over and over so they don’t get full active duty pay
They're terrible for kids too. Some of them have tiny gaps in the framing and it entices kids to stick their fingers in there.

Trump's contribution to our politics was exposing that conservatives don't care about any of the principles they've said are sacrosanct for 100 years, and all they wanted was to be openly evil instead of circuitously evil. The Democrats who win will be the ones who understand this and act like it
honestly sounds like a good idea. You would do numbers on reddit & bsky at least.
You resting enough, though?
Congratulations!!!
hell yeah They stay great in jars, though I do use a dry freezer most days.
New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!
This allows them to import large amounts of their products at $64 on the bill per box. And then they just cut open the boxes, and sort them back into individual items.
I think this is an anti-tariff measure.
this should become a thing, putting up signs like this for every arrest & disappearance in public spaces. it would likely break into lower info, less politically engaged demos and local social media groups

Sih-MENT when making something stick. Suh-ment for actual concrete.
This is fascism
"everyone does it" you are still effectively taking out a gun and firing random shots off when you do this, if you don't treat your car like a lethal weapon you are a bad person
Jesus fucking christ. The Trump administration tried to send a bunch of children to Guatemala at 3 am and justified it by saying that the kids just wanted to return to their parents in Guatemala, but the kids actually told the court that they are afraid of being sent back to Guatemala.
Happy Birthday!!!

Unpopular opinion: *curls up on your lap to assert dominance* meow
One of the less discussed but more important reasons to be against fascism is that it’s fucking stupid and informed self-interest rules it out

A collection of clips from MSNBC of multiple Republicans getting booed at town halls this week.
Joe Biden is out buying ice cream while everyone is asking whether Trump is dead.
That's not her face. I've looked at her face every day of my life. That's not what she looks like!!!
I can't find it anymore, but there is a PDF on a mailing list somewhere that has a map of all backbone networks in 2021. Anyways, a backbone network isn't just about capacity! But also network resilience. Most US universities would have the capacity, yes.
That's how you can tell human authors from AI. AI will put in some em dashes, then apologise and take them out when told off. Human authors will climb the filing cabinet, hissing, and defend their right to em dashes with a loaded stapler.
Some do. Some just have Tier 1 capacity but not a true backbone network.
“ILLEGALS” MY ASS! Green card holder Rami Othmane speaks out after being snatched off the street by ICE while driving to the grocery store. He’s a documented immigrant and the husband of Dr Wafaa Alrashid, chief of staff at a local hospital. He was locked in detention for 13 days.
Netanyahu is restricting aid trucks into Gaza—the best way to get food to starving people there—so Jordan is delivering some with air drops. The Jordanians said @merkley.senate.gov & I could join one of those flights to see the devastation, but Israel denied authorization for our scheduled flight.
Like, this actually is a severe human rights issue, and there often is no redress. Only the 1st Amendment stands between us and Internet shutdowns in this country.
Myanmar and India regularly turn off the Internet, and in 2024 globally there were 294 shutdowns in 54 countries. www.accessnow.org/internet-shu...
These do exist in a backbone network. Indonesia took it's down recently to cut off Internet for a while. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backbon...
I also seem to remember that
*hugs*
Very cool
