zeldawilliams 20m From Create Mode •• Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want. To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough, , just so other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it. Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

there’s no other way to put this other than full military invasion into america

ICE detained the partner of an acquaintance of mine from college during her green card interview. If this happens to people trying to follow the legal process, in what kind of country are we living?

800 detainees are missing after being held in Alligator Alcatraz in July, showing no record of their location in ICE’s database.

Other detainees have been mistakenly deported or sent to detention centers thousands of miles away.

The cruelty is the point.

i have to say, as a trans journalist who has covered the "trans debate" for about a decade now, there is no daylight between how the trump administration and conservatives lie about tylenol and autism and how they've lied about youth trans care.

in addition to being scientific garbage, RFK identifying Tylenol as a cause of autism insidiously shifts the blame to pregnant moms, extending his overarching idea that if you get sick, it's because you did something wrong (Blame and sickness are also not concepts that should even be in play here)

its just not defensible in 2025 for democratic candidates and officeholders not to have a clear position on asserting the equal rights of transgender americans. if you're unwilling, step aside and let a patriot take your place.

Remember that MLK said America suffers not just from "the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people."

the hysteria has gone off the rails so far that the average american thinks 1 in 5 people are transgender. pure absolute insanity that is driving the current lavender scare

pointing out the rights hypocrisy about freedom of speech doesn’t really do too much but i honestly am just stunned how blatantly and quickly they reversed on pretty much every constitutional freedom the moment they gained full power

The fact that Matthew Dowd lost his job for pointing out Charlie Kirk’s hate speech, while Brian Kilmeade openly suggests we should euthanize the homeless and there is zero outrage, shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

what we’ve seen from the right is the most insane case of cancel culture i’ve ever witnessed. the left has never even done close to a fraction of a fraction of what they want to do now

I have written and deleted a lot of posts but I keep thinking about how the brutal assassination of Minnesota State senator Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark, and their beloved dog Gilbert in June did not prompt this same level of calls for empathy, sympathy, and flags at half-mast.

"Political violence" is a term that exists to suggest a moral distinction between "violence against politicians" and "violence by politicians" - so that one can be condemned while the other can be normalized. Obviously, no such distinction exists in reality: violence is violence.

Anti-vaxxers aren’t questioning the science, they’re questioning who deserves to live

this is exactly what the 2nd amendment was written for and yet all the gun fuckers are nowhere to be seen

I find that when you're focused on one or two ACTIONS, you find yourself consuming less ambient news. Instead you are focused on news about the one or two actions you are taking. It's a good way to manage news overwhelm.

I live in NYC so it doesn't matter but I won't be voting for Newsom if he's the Democratic nominee. He continues to be transphobic in the most pathetic way possible. He's not anti-fascist.

We deserve much better.

The GOP governors of South Carolina, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee have all sent their states' National Guard troops to assist Trump's occupation of DC.

All four of those states have cities with crime rates higher than DC.

This was never about "fighting crime."

Firing and demoralizing feminized jobs as enemies of the state while brazenly bribing men with violent jobs that almost instantly puts them into the middle of middle class is very basic gendered warfare. Fulfilling the manosphere’s promise.

really feels like housing affordability is one of the most important political issues of our time, affecting nearly every aspect of our lives, and everyday our mainstream political discourse is about whether sour cream is woke or not

I can't believe Chappell Roan invented Saskatchewan

Lemme get this straight. Males that have been gobbling down and regurgitating Jordan Peterson and other “alpha-male” talking heads are now complaining about being lonely and calling it an epidemic. 🤔Do you also complain about being wet because you jumped in an ocean?

Wow. Who could’ve guessed the party that’s led to country to a recession every time they’ve been in charge in the last 40 years would lead the country to a recession again?

A bed in a psych ward is not housing, or even healing. A bed in a psych ward is where you sleep while incarcerated, without the freedom to move beyond narrow walls & under the command of staff. So the amount of beds in the psych wards can't be society's answer to as many things as it wants.

WGA statement on Paramount’s decision to cancel the Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

The core problem appears to be that the NYT decided to double down on "we must be perceived as objective" rather than "we must report the truth."

It's a losing game! The only way to be perceived as credible by the right is to amplify their lies and moral panics.

Among other things, I'm just so pissed that a country that once made winning WWII its whole personality is now building concentration camps

MEDIA: Are you a communist?

MAMDANI: I am not ... I call myself a democratic socialist in many ways inspired by the words of Dr. King from decades ago, who said: 'Call it democracy or call it democratic socialism, there has to be a better distribution of wealth for all of God's children'
