Beyond warning our neighbors of checkpoints, I think the primary goal of protesters encountering ICE and HSI agents should be to try to shame them into quitting their jobs. A big lift -- unlike the Guard they signed up for this shit -- but a good goal regardless
how many michael noland cameos at this point?
People need to understand just how openly genocidal the rhetoric on the far right is getting towards transgender people. They're openly talking about eradicating us and forcefully mass institutionalizing all trans people. These are people with direct ties to the Trump administration.
I was not kidding
I realize NO ONE else has this take, but I'm gonna say it: The National Guard are scabs now. These are potentially union jobs, many of which were outsourced, now they're insourced, but without union labor.
Taylor's reporting confirms a lot of things I've been feeling and seeing since November. 1. The increase in influencers and pundits saying the same thing and using the same language. 2. The loud silence about trans people or any of the abuse we face. 3. The sudden nut coddling of Gavin Newsom.

i'll say it again, my loud and vigorous support for any democrat who calls for televised hearings and criminal charges for everyone involved in DOGE. this guy should never be able to live in peace again.
“James Dobson, 89, died this week after a long battle with children,” writes @samthielman.com
Good catch here. This is ludicrous, @nytimes.com
The fact that the thing we're calling artificial intelligence *can't do math* and yet we're jamming it into programs that successfully *have done math* for decades, then warning people against using the AI to do math, seems like an excellent summary of where we are.
2003 for me
are you tired of being brainwashed by the mainstream media?
the extraction class has zero interest in actually making anything better or useful. these deals are about tax breaks, temporary stock boosts, and justifying outsized compensation for fail-upward trust fund brunchlords
BREAKING: Israeli military attacks humanitarian aid vessel Handala in international waters 30 miles from Gaza — in violation of maritime law — and has abducted 21 people on board, including U.S. citizens. The ship was carrying life-saving aid, which Israel has seized.

JD Vance is the literal embodiment of the LBJ quote: “If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.”
think a lot of them are just hoping he’ll give them some money too

i’m kind of in the same boat as far as organizations just letting me down perpetually. i love the idea of teach-ins and the like. atm, i’m trying to come up with a kind of survival guide and engage the community college and libraries around me, but the hits keep coming and disillusion is paralyzing

what are some orgs or alliances that are pushing in the right direction in your opinion? my own experience as an engineer is just being filled with anger and despair at the way these systems are developed and deployed, but if i wanted to put that energy somewhere positive, i haven’t found where
The people of Gaza face starvation under the joint U.S.-Israeli food distribution system run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.
AFP (10 freelancers in Gaza across text/photo/video) : since the agency founded in 1944 we’ve had journalists killed, injured or imprisoned, but none of us can recall a colleague dying of starvation. Which is imminent.
why number must always go up. they’ve made sure our collective fate relies on it
The whole concept of a party is to share an abundance with whoever you are inviting. Meaning, if you throw a party, you are typically spending (or have spent in the past) a lot of money. Less parties means people aren't spending. It's not a cultural thing, it's a "we're fucking BROKE" thing

It was exactly 6 months ago that this administration issued blanket pardons to everyone involved in the January 6 insurrection.
Okay, I will say this: the famine in Gaza is a deliberate policy decision by Israel to mass murder two million people and they are doing this on the dime of US taxpayers. The bloodstains from this will never wash off.
the title “CAIO” makes me want to gouge my eyes out

Dear Jeffrey,
It’s still amazing tens of millions of people want this guy in the White House and making life-and-death decisions.
Oh.
“just following orders” doesn’t absolve these people. every single person involved will need to face justice.
abolishing ice is the compromise position. the just position is trials.
flawed seems too generous. these flaws are in line with the message its ownership and editorial leadership wants to communicate

yeah pretty much www.todayintabs.com/p/billionair...
the types of products that tech companies are allowed to unleash on the world with impunity is beyond comprehension. imagine if in the 90s toys r us released a lil talking robot that might talk you into a mental crisis. tech oligarchs do not value human life. only 10x returns
honestly the wildest part of this story to me is how openAI hired ONE INDIVIDUAL forensic psychiatrist to “deepen” their research into chatGPT’s effect on users’ mental state. One person. will now begin to start thinking of how to look into this. futurism.com/openai-inves...
that’s where the money is

These Democratic senators voted not to block arm sales to Israel after Trump and Netanyahu publicly made a plan to get rid of every Palestinian and Netanyahu broke the ceasefire. Many Democrats are on board with genocide.
What if everyone eager to throw money at a "liberal joe rogan" that doesn't exist instead bought one failing local newspaper and hired a handful of real reporters and simply told them to go do journalism and print it.
A Nazi owns Twitter, right wing billionaires own the Wall Street Journal and the LA Times, and CBS is run by a right wing nepo baby who just fired one of the network’s biggest stars for criticizing Donald Trump. Here’s why America has a left-wing media bias problem.

the self-owns are getting so outrageous lmao

the thing that makes me think this is different is that there is a genuine public groundswell around epstein in a way that there wasn’t with other trump scandals www.wsj.com/politics/tru...

BORING, amirite?
Israel has killed more than 200 journalists since October 7, 2023. this is a deliberate strategy to eliminate the people documenting and exposing the brutal genocide in Gaza theintercept.com/2025/07/03/i...

Intuit has spent many years and many millions of dollars lobbying congress to guarantee that you can’t file taxes directly for free. Intuit is an economic parasite that pays congress so they can keep ripping off taxpayers every year. classic rent-seeking behavior www.propublica.org/article/insi...
it’s amazing how much the entire GOP has convinced itself there will never, ever be consequences for any of this. they seem convinced they can outrun accountability, but it can’t last

wordpress and other cms services still work great, people! don’t get locked into substack. it’s a trap
it’s been baffling to watch many independent journalist turns first to substack, which is a VC-backed company that will eventually need to pay back those VCs. at some point, substack will do what *all* VC-backed companies do. degrade services, take a bigger cut of subs, raise prices

1) Congress has explicitly passed multiple laws authorizing the Sec of Ed to cancel student debt. SCOTUS violated the constitution by effectively nullifying one of those laws. Only Congress can change the law like that, not SCOTUS 2) Congress explicitly legislated that the Dept of Ed exists

Since April 4, #SCOTUS has issued 15 rulings on 17 emergency applications filed by Trump (three birthright citizenship apps were consolidated). It has granted relief to Trump ... in all 15 rulings. It has written majority opinions in only 3. Today's order is the 7th with no explanation *at all.*

republicans cut the legs out from FEMA as survivors in distress were trying to call for help. emergency call response rates went from 99.7% all the way down to 15.9% after contracts weren’t renewed IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE FLOOD and hundreds of responders were laid off. truthout.org/articles/fem...
texas is the **single most disaster prone state** in the US, and there is not only no appetite to prepare for the inevitably worse weather events to come, but an abject refusal to admit the reality of climate change. that refusal is bought and paid for by oil and gas.
republicans are so terminally addicted to fossil fuel money that they refuse to admit climate change is really, can’t acknowledge reality and do the work like fucking adults, and will stand idly by as more people die every year from their refusal to face facts www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
no one despises the GOP base more than trump and the leaders of the party, and it’s always been thus. no one has a greater desire to inflict indiscriminate and widespread suffering than the oligarchs who think all the “NPCs” they’ve riled up with fear and white grievance will never catch on
This is definitely the best way to get people to stop talking about Epstein
