republicans are in charge of everything and they are getting everything theyve ever wanted and doing everything theyve ever wanted and the world is on fire and the global world order is collapsing. is there a correlation? who can say
Sometimes my students ask whether the APA’s bar on arbitrary & capricious decisionmaking really catches anything.
WELP. Yes, my dears, it certainly does.
I think we all need to reskeet this thread every day
Candidate-centered campaigns indeed!
Hasty redeployment of US missiles from South Korea to Middle East leaves Seoul rattled
When Nadia Reed refused to work while incarcerated in Colorado, she was punished.
She was put in solitary, not allowed to talk to her family, handcuffed, shackled, & moved to a more punitive part of the prison where she was sexually assaulted.
A judge ruled Colorado has to change its policies.
If a single person says "but how are you going to pay for it" about universal healthcare for the rest of my life, I am going to []
Your regular reminder that normal, mainstream, pro-democracy political parties do not make restricting suffrage the central pillar of their policy platform
don’t forget to destroy your clocks tonight, walk away from your mortgage, just start driving, you’re free
I hate that entire groups are being prevented from existing in mainstream art because of roughly 200 shrill lunatics who can't be normal about anything.
It implies that we are visitors in someone else’s country.
A standing reminder: a small handful of Republicans in Congress could stop this chaos tomorrow. They simply choose not to.
See, it's easy to denounce this straight up instead of politely asking the administration to pretty please give the American people an explanation when they have a sec
Social media created this nonsense idea that not exposing yourself to hatred is isolationist. Choosing to not spend your free time with bigots isn’t living in a bubble. I don’t need to know what’s going on at X. I won’t be smarter or more knowledgeable or empathic by being there. Neither will you.
The cool kids are saying…
@lataco.bsky.social has stepped up to keep us connected in so many ways
@shoton35mm.bsky.social & @joeyneverjoe.bsky.social have been OTG, on the front lines & reliably chasing stories Angelenos need to hear
Help make this or their other campaigns happen
SAVE Act is dead
imo the threat posed by CBS News and CNN getting absorbed by pro-regime billionaires isn't that they're going to produce right-wing slop that convinces people to be right-wing, it's the dismantling of newsrooms capable of doing investigative reporting on the administration. Fewer eyes on the street.
Gutting state capacity is bad
Richard Axel resigned from his post co-leading Columbia University’s Mortimer B. Zuckerman Mind Brain Behavior Institute over his long ties to Jeffrey Epstein
This is state violence.
The implications for black voters receiving their mail-in ballots is horrifying.
Finally!
What a burn! Just deconstructed their nonsense for all to see.
Again, this is why we need to fight!
This is why our institutions need to fight instead of complying in advance. Because sometimes we win.
Looking at you, universities! 👀 👀
Adults at ICE concentration camps also get punished for talking with people on the outside who can publicize their stories.
Based on what I've heard at the Otay Mesa camp in San Diego, they're punished with additional work duties, aren't allowed outside in the yard, and denied phone access.
One of the funniest things about all of this is that CBS lawyers thought the public would believe their version of what happened over Stephen Colbert’s. Boy they picked the wrong guy to compare credibility with. Especially since, as Colbert points out, CBS lawyers actually approve every show script!
Whole Foods AI stores were entirely Indians watching on video feeds and ringing you up. Waymos have live human support partially driving them. And the AI that has “Hollywood shaking in its boots” is…stock footage. With face replacement.
Yeah. We are sooooooo cooked, AI bros. Call me when it works.
It’s hard to describe to normal people the years and years of work that was scrapped over all of this.
I just can’t stop thinking abt federal agents raiding the cells of incarcerated children to confiscate their drawings & letters. This is Nazi shit.
