This will be coming to San Francisco and we should all be thinking about ways we can help our neighbors and make our feelings clear in a safe way.

ICE Wants to Build Out a 24/7 Social Media Surveillance Team Documents show ICE plans to hire dozens of contractors to scan X, Facebook, TikTok, and other platforms to target people for deportation.

NEW: ICE is planning to hire a team of nearly 30 people to surveil social media 24/7, build dossiers on people, and flag them for arrest and deportation. @dell.bsky.social has the scoop: www.wired.com/story/ice-so...

reject modernity (Sora), embrace tradition (JibJab)

This one made my head hurt, but like…you should read it.

Tech Billionaires Already Captured the White House. They Still Want to Be Kings From Montenegro to Northern California, the tech elite dream of building cities where they make the rules. Is this, finally, their moment?

“This is a colonial project, aimed at tech empire,” says Gil Duran, a former political consultant. “It sounds like colonization 2.0. When you go to another person's country and create your own country there, no matter your excuse, no matter your rationale.”

ICE has been arresting asylum-seekers in San Francisco for months now—targeting immigration court & sending people to far-flung detention centers.

It's a constant stream of news. Readers often tune out.

So here's a timeline recapping the most significant events so far.

I really, really, really hate this timeline

Things I could not have foreseen just months ago: me in 2025, defending Jimmy Kimmel and Tylenol (Tylenol!!) like my life depends on it. Like, is this actually some sort of conspiracy to return us to 2019-era mainstream corporate values worship?

This is breaking my brain.

neurodiversity is Good Actually. just want to say that

We are just deeply unserious as a nation. I mean, come on.

I am NOT loving all these earthquakes we’re getting in the bay

Brendan Carr Isn't Going to Stop Until Someone Makes Him In the wake of Jimmy Kimmel's suspension, experts say the FCC commissioner's conduct is flatly unconstitutional. They also expect him to keep going.

The Trump administration is “setting up this world where every election cycle ... the content of broadcast news might drastically shift depending on which political party controls the censorship office,” FPF's @seth-stern.bsky.social told @wired.com.

HARDEST PHOTO OF 2025 JUST DROPPED

We are so fucking cooked

Greg Gutfeld is performing late-night comedy the right way.

This is actually very funny because antifa is very much not an organization at all.

if Jimmy Kimmel's political humor is too hot for you to handle, I'm not sure "snowflake" even cuts it as a term of derision for the level of fragility you've achieved

Jimmy Kimmel triggers fascist free speech crackdown is a scattergories answer I never would have expected to come true.

I feel like I’m losing my mind

Meanwhile, "many in Maga-land are working very hard to capitalize on the murder of Charlie Kirk" On Monday, JD Vance, who once called Trump "America's Hitler", , hosted Kirk's podcast from the White House and blamed the left, without evidence. Said Vance: "While our side of the aisle certainly has its crazies, it is a statistical fact that most of the lunatics in American politics today are proud members of the far left." "And by 'statistical fact', ' he means 'complete bullshit'" Kimmel corrected. In fact, the Department of Justice removed from its website a study finding that violence from far-right groups is the greatest source of domestic terror and extremist violence in the US. "Here's a question JD Vance might be able to answer: who wanted to hang the guy who was vice president before you?" Kimmel said. "Was that the liberal left? Or the toothless army who stormed the Capitol on January 6." "The president and his henchmen are doing their best to tan the flames, so they can I guess attack people on the dangerous left," Kimmel added, noting the incongruence with the right's former vision of so-called "snowflake" liberals. "Which is it?" he wondered. "Are they a bunch of sissy pickleball players because they're too scared to get hit by tennis balls? Or are they a well-organized army of commandos? Because they can't be both."

This is all he said?! This is why ABC (in response to threats from Trump's FCC) is taking Kimmel off the air?!

It seems that the only trans person known to be in the orbit of this horrific Kirk assassination saga expressed shock and horror, and immediately cooperated fully with law enforcement.

he was a champion of free speech and if you disagree youre under arrest

Jollibee Watch, September 12, 2025: We have a door The soon-to-open Filipino fast food place on Market Street now has something for hungry fans to beat down

Each alleged mass shooter is even more On the Computer All the Time than the previous one. Probably nothing to worry about there

Charlie Kirk Was Shot and Killed in a Post-Content Moderation World Videos of the shooting spread across TikTok, Instagram, and X. Researchers say that in some cases the platforms are falling short on enforcing their own content moderation rules.

It's no coincidence that you couldn't escape the violent video yesterday. Social platforms like X, TikTok, Facebook, and Instagram have scaled back their content moderation efforts for long to get us where we are today. Really essential reporting by @laurengoode.bsky.social

“It should also be noted that ‘transgender ideology’ is a term coined for and used in anti-trans political messaging. Reporters should be careful about using this term.”

Charlie Kirk Helped Create an American Culture That Would Laugh at His Death It’s hard to take the outrage about this kind of dark humor seriously.
