Is there an english version of your article? 😇

The image is a screenshot of a post on X by a user named Mike Levin (@MikeLevin ). The post reads: "Let’s get this straight. Musk called Social Security the biggest Ponzi scheme of all time. Now, he wants to end phone services for those who need help with their benefits. Meaning they will turn to field offices. But he wants to close many of those, too. This is insane."

This is deliberate and is following a playbook.

Trump is now sending LEGAL immigrants with no criminal records who already passed background checks to a foreign prison known for starvation and torture. This is our country now." Aaron Reichlin-Melnick's reply reads: "NEW: @MiamiHerald reveals that one of the people imprisoned in El Salvador HAD LEGAL REFUGEE STATUS. He entered the country legally in January and was detained because of his tattoos, EVEN THOUGH he had passed a full background check. Without warning, he was sent to El Salvador."

Our national shame knows few bounds these days.

Please stop using ChatGPT in general, but also, please, please stop using it and then taking what it says to you as fact. It's usually wrong! It doesn't fact check itself. It just creates approximations of information based on other text! It's basically magnetic poetry that sets the world ablaze.

There's always a tweet

"The result of a lack of true skepticism and criticism is that the tech industry has become captured by people that are able to create their own phony and comfortable realities"

The image is a screenshot of a post on X by the account Benjy Sarlin (@BenjySarlin ). The post includes an image of an opinion article headline from Michelle Cottle, dated July 18, 2023. The headline reads: "Is the Cure to Male Loneliness starting a group text to bomb the houthis?" Below the headline, there is an illustration by Benjamin Morsa (credited at the bottom left as "imgflip.com"). The illustration depicts a surreal scene: on the left side, a group of boys is playing a game on a field with a net, possibly tennis or volleyball, under a bright sky with rays of light and butterflies flying around. There are also flowers, including tulips, in the foreground. On the right side, there is a close-up of a boy with short hair, crying with tears streaming down his face, looking toward the scene on the field.

The most obvious lesson to draw from the leaked Signal chat is that these people really are morons. It's not a public act, it's not a schtick, there's not some secret back room where they drop the facade. They are genuinely stupid, incompetent people.

This is the danger of memes. This right here.

Not trying to stan for banks, obviously, and it's not like banking is easily *accessible* to everyone but lord almighty where the heck are people getting the idea that bank accounts are "expensive"

So many free options. Plus credit unions!

A tweet from Tim Walz (@Tim_Walz) reads, "Pete Hegseth texting out war plans like invites to a frat party." Below is a screenshot of a tweet from The Atlantic (@TheAtlantic) stating that American war planning usually takes place in secure facilities, but the Trump administration planned strikes on the Houthis using a group chat—and accidentally included The Atlantic’s editor.

Yet Republicans lost their minds over Hillary’s emails.

The image is a screenshot of a post on X by the account Robert Reich (@RBReich ). The post reads: "Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy. Slaveholders stopped the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Dictators censor media. That’s why Trump is attacking education, science, museums, and the arts. Ignorance is the handmaiden of tyranny."

The Nonviolent Movement That's Hitting Elon Musk Where It Hurts Most Here's how to get involved with #TeslaTakedown events around the country

"We know from history that lots of people speaking up together—peacefully and bravely—is the best way to resist authoritarian regimes that want to take away our freedom." Thanks for inviting us to The Big Picture, @toddbeeton.bsky.social! #teslatakedown thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/tesla-take...

Hey, it's almost like these abortion restrictions aren't actually pro-life after all!

Still too early to call it fascism?

“I’m doing good things,” I tell myself as I delete the military service of a dead woman. “I’m still a good person.”

Jesse Watters Dragged After Adding Another Mind-Boggling Rule For 'Real Men' "Real men" don't fixate on other people's masculinity.

Real men don't fixate on other people's masculinity.

The stupidest thing you can do to try to be masculine is hating women. That's not what masculinity is, my dudes.

When our fathers and grandfathers said things to us like "be a man", posting on internet forums about how much feminists are ruining your video games isn't what they had in mind.

If the word "inclusion" makes your ass mad, I'm sorry for you. Go relearn that shit at your nearest Kindergarten, if it hasn't already been defunded and whatnot.

No one who's trying to destroy the Department of Education has ever spent three minutes in a public school, and neither have their children or their grandchildren. None of the people destroying any of our valued public services have ever relied on them.

The guy whose daddy bought his way into Wharton, the guy whose grades were so shitty he's never disclosed them – that guy just destroyed the Department of Education. This is what dystopia looks like. This is what Fascism looks like.

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women.

More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications.

I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

Post on X by Shannon Watts (@shannonrwatts ) posted 1 day ago: "Would rather the man in my life eat soup in public or drink a milkshake out of a straw than leave me and our newborn twins for a twenty-something coworker, but maybe that’s just me." Below, a reply from Acyn (@Acyn ) posted 1 day ago quotes: "WATTERS: I have rules for men. Like you don’t eat soup in public. You don’t cross your legs. And you don’t drink from a straw. His excuse was I was drinking a milk shake. Again, you shouldn’t be drinking a milk shake. Milk shakes are for kids." The reply includes an image of a man in a suit on a Fox News set, with the chyron: "WALZ: HE SCARES MAGA MEN WITH HIS MASCULINITY" and the show title "THE FIVE."

No mercy for this bozo.

When you removed populations from the category of human rights, are you removing them from the category of human?

When you assume bad things are always done in secret, it can take much too long to realize proclamations of ill intent are serious.

I think this is the hang-up.

A screenshot of a social media post from the account "GET A GRIP" (@docrussjackson ), timestamped 1 day ago, with a blue checkmark. The post quotes a previous post by "Martha Kelly" (@MarthaKelly3 ), which reads: "Under capitalism, it’s normal to let children go hungry, let banks force people out of their homes, let sick people die for lack of access to healthcare. But the idea that billionaires could just be less rich – not poor, not struggling, just less rich, is considered insane." The quoted post is followed by a reply from "techsiren" (@techhsiren

Just less rich. That’s all we’re asking.

👍

The only fair way to handle this is to appoint a team of teenagers to tear this company limb from limb until we find out what kind of financial damage they are hiding and where
