📌So MAGA is protesting against Costco, because Costco is standing against Trump's absurd, costly tariffs, so they can hold prices down that would benefit MAGA.

It's a cult.

If only we had a way of knowing where Tom Cotton stands on lawless abuse of the military.

Spotify has laid off thousands in recent years, while reportedly paying artists $0.003 per stream.

Spotify profits rose 28% in Q3. Its CEO is worth $9.8 billion. It's making money off ICE recruitment ads.

Don't you think it's time put a wrap on corporate greed and exploitation?

Transgender Student-Athlete Lia Smith Remembered as a Friend and Fierce Advocate — Assigned Lia Smith, a 21-year-old trans student-athlete in Vermont, took her own life last week. Her friends, family and community mourn, and remember her as a bright young woman who spoke on behalf of her com...

The death of Lia Smith shook many in the trans community to their cores, while online it seemed like the top priority of non-trans people was to insist there's no proof that the 21-year-old's ban from her beloved swim team caused her suicide.

Re-sharing as it was one of our top stories this year.

Costco demands a refund from Trump The mega-retailer is suing to get its tariff money back.

"As with so much of what has gone wrong in the past 10 months (or years), this chaos can be laid squarely at feet of SCOTUS. Here, they’ve allowed him to continue collecting hundreds of billions of dollars in tariffs despite multiple lower courts ruling it's patently illegal." — @lizdye.bsky.social

Twitter (X) tries to "reprogram" its users.

The average user gets limited engagement for what they WANT to talk about, and more engagement for drama bait.

If you don't chase the algorithm, you get de-boosted—Your actual interests getting almost no attention at all.

I prefer quality over quantity.

This man may be the most racist president this country has ever had, and twelve presidents owned slaves

Rep. Ilhan Omar: "I hope he gets the help he needs. It sounds like he's trying to deflect from the failures that he's had as president ... he's fought to be the head of the pedophile protection party."

Somehow this is the worst part.

Yet again I'd like to thank the publishing industry, Hollywood, and Yale Law School for ensuring this bigot's rise to prominence.

he's gotta go

New from 404 Media: ChatGPT told a violent stalker to continue running his misogynistic and threat-filled podcast despite the “haters,” and to visit more gyms to find women. The man stalked women in multiple states, including touching and following from work

John Brown

Abolitionist John Brown was executed by the state of Virginia on December 2, 1859.

TN07 is a story about gerrymandering: the GOP cracked Nashville into 3 districts when it redrew the 2022 map, destroying the Dem seat there.

Fast-forward: a section of Nashville, which just 5 years ago had a Dem representative, is now voting Dem by huge margins but it's been designed to not matter.

Federal Government Announces Racial Profiling Campaign, Explains It’s Because of the President’s Personal Bigotry

This is an ethnic cleansing campaign

The official policy of the Trump Administration is ignorant bigotry. We’re asked, under principles including charity, to assume that people support the administration despite that policy, not specifically because of it. I am increasingly unwilling to extend that charity.

This is what frustrates me so much about these articles: Propagating the narrative that large numbers of kids are faking disabilities is just going to result in a world where disabled people are *even more* scrutinized when they ask for accommodations!

1 TON has ~907K grams. ~1 gram of cocaine can be fatal.

Over 20 yrs, former Honduran Pres Juan Orlando Hernández brought over 500 TONS of cocaine to the U.S. He was sentenced to 45 years in prison.

Trump has pardoned & released him from prison.

While mass murdering fisherman as "narcoterrorists."

ICE raids are cruel, inhumane, and do nothing to serve public safety.

My responsibility is to be the mayor to each and every person that calls this city their home. That includes millions of immigrants— of which I am one.

Trump on Somalis: "We're gonna go the wrong way if we keep taking in garbage into our country. Ilhan Omar is garbage. She's garbage. Her friends are garbage."

I know it's too easy to grow numb to the constant flood of bigotry that comes out of his mouth but it does seem morally important you don't allow yourself or anyone else to become desensitized to this vile racism as a normal part of our politics

Photo of Pete Hegseth sitting at a table. In front of him is a placard that reads "PETE HEGSETH SSECRETARY OF WAR." Yes, on the placard "secretary" begins with a double-S.

I'm like 90% sure that's an innocent typo.

What do the editors of this magazine think their job is?

"Too many kids are getting extra time on tests!" should immediately be followed by "how many kids are getting extra time on tests?" If you don't know, either find out or write about something you do know.

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

Target quietly adds ChatGPT to its cart Target’s ChatGPT experience rolls out in beta just before Thanksgiving.

Target quietly added ChatGPT in its app last week.

I have come to the idea that we have to collectively, brutally, ritualistically kill Target just to show capital that we truly aren’t fucking around.
