OpenAI is addressing a dangerous situation by adding another layer of potentially deadly peril for users.
Disabled people need accessibility and for the US to not want us dead, not Meta glasses, and if I catch you freaks that keep using us as a shield without ever once doing anything material to improve our lives, well, disability is one of the only minorities everyone will join at some point.
Trump’s ICE goons now literally arresting firefighters. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...
I said this months ago but I really need a BLUE STATE COMPACT IMMEDIATELY. Bring together all health depts, all education depts, etc... under one umbrella. Collectivize guidance, ensure that disabled students get what they need, etc... An emergency meeting of all Blue State Governors is overdue.

People are put off Woody Allen by his appearance in Moscow? Wow - it was the pedophelia that put me off him decades ago.
For all of the people in my qrts and mentions disputing this, one of the most common conversations I have is when white, cisbclients are shocked that a police officer is lying on the stand. I once had a protester client say out loud in open court "how is he allowed to lie like that?"

Not enough folks are connecting the attacks on labor organizing over the last 50 years to the moment we find ourselves in. Labor is now our ONLY organizing asset that still has power & possibility of turning this ship in a different direction
I really understand the frustration in the land. A lot of people want direction and that's not coming from the people who some usually look to for guidance. To me though, this offers an opportunity for everyone to get creative about the types of anti-fascist action(s) you want to take & to do them.
If the fossil fuel industry didn’t have our president and corporate America by the throat, we could have nice things like this too.
There's a sense of irony or something like it that many reenactment costuming suppliers are having difficulty or straight up closing shop ahead of the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution... because of unjust tariffs.

I am literally begging anyone who does any kind of journalism to spend an hour in an eviction courtroom every week for a month. Please. The eviction crisis in this country is downplayed at best and ignored at worst. It's racialized state violence that hearkens back to the worst of Jim Crow,

Starbucks CEO made $95M last year. The median worker made $14K. That’s a gap of 6,666 to 1. This isn’t capitalism rewarding risk, it’s extraction on autopilot. Every empire ends with elites hollowing out the core. You’re watching it.

BREAKING: A federal court ruled that Mississippi’s Supreme Court district lines must be redrawn to ensure Black people in the state don't have their voting power diluted.
Trump is such a white supremacist that I get the sense that white people can't believe that he's out here blatantly being white supremacist in 2025. I think many wish it would be more muted for plausible deniability.
“They did not die from COVID , they had preexisting conditions.” “They did not die from starvation, they had other health problems.” This is what eugenics sounds like.

I am the perfect opposite of a sports person but I got a free ticket to a women’s soccer game today and while I was there, surrounded by many of my fellow lesbians and lots of eager young girls, I was really able to grasp why the right wants to control and discriminate within women’s sports so badly

Saying this again: there is a scammer out there targeting newbie authors, claiming I'm one of their clients. They use different names, and I'm already pursuing legal action. But I have never worked with a PR company, editing service, or book packager, so anybody saying so is lying, period full stop.
For years people said it was a gross exaggeration to label Nazism and its associated viewpoints within the modern conservative movement and especially online. Now Nazis are openly thriving and their rhetoric is impossible to avoid and many of the people who downplayed it are saying nothing at all
D.C. TODAY…
President Trump is threatening to deploy the National Guard in cities across the country. Congress must act now to stop the administration from deploying more armed forces into our communities.
I mean, I guess Bluesky is the quintessential liberal app: they say all the right things and then harm marginalized people anyway.
i guess this is relevant again
I'm blocking for "but you HAVE to vote for newsom or you get fascism, don't let perfect be the enemy of the gpod!" We are telling you now, nice and early, that we're not voting for his nimby, transphobic ass.
The UN figure represents a jump of several hundred deaths since its last published figures at the beginning of August.
This.
Why are some still spreading misinfo that "masks only work when everyone wears one," & use it as an excuse not to mask as "no-one else is." It isn't all or nothing. While it's safer when more mask because there's less virus in the air, a well-fitting mask protects you even if no-one else masks.
A sweet old lady wrote me to ask if I would help her out by signing off Jeopardy! every night saying "Don't forget your night medicine, my friends." I am actively considering this.

some rare good news: a Georgia judge has dismissed the Cop City domestic terrorism charges against Jamie Mariscano in DeKalb County, noting that the "Attorney General's Office appears to have delayed this matter in order to gain a tactical advantage over the defense."
I hope your community is never occupied like LA or DC. But if it is, you’ll quickly find that people don’t take kindly to having their city under federal control. And folks are just getting started. 📌 Protesters gathered near a checkpoint in the U Street corridor in Northwest Washington.
DC police are using excessive force against Black people
Situation on 14th St and W St. NW, with federal agents -- no specific agency identified -- pulling cars over for checks. They arrested a Black woman in this car. BIG crowd of people shouting at police. "Fuck you!" "What is wrong with you!" "You don't need to terrorize people like this!"
Wrote about the most violent day in D.C.'s history, January 6, 2021, the current takeover of that city by the guy who instigated it, the right-wing snowflakes complaining they're afraid to walk down the street, and why the right fears and loathes cities (and lies about why). Bonus Epstein finale.
The Energy Department is threatening to close countless FOIA requests because of bots and "vexatious requesters." It's true that agencies are getting more FOIA requests, but that isn't an excuse to make requesters jump through even more hoops.
BREAKING: A federal appeals court affirmed that Louisiana's state legislative districts dilute the power of Black voters and must be redrawn.
Very bad news from Costco. One of the groups orchestrating this pressure campaign is Alliance Defending Freedom, a Christian Nationalist law firm that is hellbent on reshaping US society. The ADF coalition "now turns its focus to CVS and Walgreens."
New ICE data show that the court order banning profiling reduced ICE arrests in LA by 66%! In other words, ICE is effectively admitting that TWO THIRDS of LA arrests were unconstitutional profiling. Did they admit this to the court? NO! They lied to the courts...

The man who wanted to lynch the exonerated 5 is now unlawfully deploying the national guard and taking over the police department of DC — a beautiful, vibrant majority Black city that has been denied the rights and protections of statehood.
Norway’s sovereign wealth fund has pulled investments from 11 Israeli companies, citing concerns over Israel’s ongoing war and blockade in Gaza. The fund, the largest in the world, had previously held stakes in 61 Israeli firms.
It’s only been ONE DAY and I’m already tired of hearing white people explain why a few hundred armed, trained killers might make the public feel safer. You know which “public” they’re talking about. Gonna be a long week.

So no questions on the Sunday shows about Trump’s Secretary of Defense endorsing a video of a pastor he follows saying women shouldn’t be able to vote? Cool, cool Sometimes we feel like we’re going insane when we see what the media chooses to ignore
Immigration agents insist on concealing their identity while tearing apart our communities. Congress must pass the VISIBLE Act, which would require federal agents to wear identification and show their faces.
More than 100 of those arrested over their support for the banned pro-Palestinian organisation were over 70 years old.
I’ve never seen anything like this in my life. My gas mask paid for itself within the first minute the ice agents came out of the building. They escalated to this immediately, like it was a war zone- flash bombs, various gasses… #fightfascism #fuckice
it's so deranged how rich business owners have demanded for decades that they be called "job creators" despite the fact that every single person i know has experienced a rich guy buying out an existing business and firing everyone and usually completely bankrupting it before cashing out and leaving
WATCH: “Are you f*cking out of your mind?” @marcmaron won’t let @howiemandel downplay the impact comedians like Joe Rogan have had on stripping rights from trans people, immigrants, etc. with “hack” bullying jokes that helped pave the way for Trump & the radical right takeover.

More Palestinians die from starvation as UN Security Council prepares to discuss Israel’s plan to take over Gaza City.
usually if you ask experts why an empire fell they’ll say it’s nuanced and multifaceted, so i think it’s kind of cool that with America future historians will get to just say like “oh they took the idiot train to moronsville”

"We can't have Palestinians On Here because some of them are scammers" is the same as "We can't give money to homeless people because they might spend it on drugs and some want to be homeless" is the same as "We can't have universal healthcare because some people will abuse it."
It would be more honest if more people would say "I am doing OK amidst the horrors being suffered by others." It's actually not true that everything is terrible for everyone right now. We're living under unequally distributed fascism.
In the rush to fulfill President Trump's deportation agenda, ICE is detaining immigrants for days in cramped, atrocious conditions at 26 Federal Plaza in New York. We're suing in defense of everyone who's been subjected to inhumane treatment at this facility.
