Epitaphs in their eyes. Something cherished, neglected and quietus.

Demise of amour-propre illusoire.

If you’re curious about examining power, reflection, and consented self-confrontation, you can engage further here:
Hard questions, totally worth it.

Horrifying firsthand account. Israel did this to an American journalist.

Who is Jewish.

With a Jewish publication.

I'm of Jewish descent. Family escaped pogroms. Survived Nazis. Fought Nazis.

This is what we were taught to "never forget."

"Never again" means Israel too.

We should restructure American journalism so that the second sentence stops being true.

That second sentence is also probably one of the most important themes of the last few years.

Your system repetitively struggles to differentiate between sexual and artistic nudity, I do not trust it to effectively see the difference between non consensual and consensual. You are therefore enadgering all adult content creators.

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

Whether you are Ezra Klein or some dude with a large audience flipping his lid because of a warning to not put names on a protest sheet. All of it is the need for emotional processing. And with many middle and high income men make that processing the job of the general public.

Ugh, the timeliness. This made me cry today

It’s not lazy to rest.

It’s not wrong to prioritize your health and well being.

Capitalism and ableism have trained us to view slowing down as a failure.

We treat disabled people, children and the elderly as expendable.

We assign worth based on productivity.

It’s wrong. We all have value.

Defense Secretary Hegseth requires new 'pledge' for reporters at the Pentagon The Pentagon is implementing new guidelines that will require journalists to sign a pledge and agree to report only approved and officially released information.

Pete "SignalMan" Hegseth wants you to know that if the first amendment isn't good enough for Disney, it isn't good enough for the Defense Dept either! 👊🇺🇸🔥

Thank you Rep Crockett!

LMAO he's embarrassing

I thought they were so very concerned about antisemitism.

(No, not really)

Sorry I was late to your wedding, my flight was canceled because my pilot posted a Charlie Kirk quote verbatim in the comments of an Instagram Reel.

THOSE LOOK DELICIOUS!

Happy birthday 🥰 miss you

Not to show my age, but does anyone else remember when you bought things and then they worked?

Stanford Research Finds That "Therapist" Chatbots Are Encouraging Users' Schizophrenic Delusions and Suicidal Thoughts A new pre-print study from Stanford researchers finds that AI chatbots used for therapy routinely fail at providing safe, ethical care.

"Per the study, one glaring safety gap is the bots' inability to respond appropriately to users clearly at risk of self-harm or suicide."

Trump's budget bill, currently in the Senate, would impose a 10-year moritorium on AI regulation. They have so little regard for human life.

i adore how creatively malicious this is. if it’s only a cap gun then i don’t even think it is illegal 🤔

"[Shari Redstone, the billionaire heiress who is the controlling shareholder of Paramount, the CBS TV network's parent company] was particularly upset with a 'Face the Nation' broadcast last spring in which the show was critical of Israel after seven aid workers were killed during a strike in Gaza."

Dozens of Palestinians starved to death under Israel’s blockade of Gaza As trucks carrying vital supplies pile up at border with Egypt, hungry children look through rubbish for food.

The youth are not going to save us. Black people are not going to save us. Women are not going to save us. You don't get to sit back and let marginalized groups "save you" just because they are fighting for their existence. We save us. That's the only way this works.

This isn’t hard.

Everyone gets due process. EVERYONE GETS DUE PROCESS. Everyone. Gets. Due. Process.

Gridlock, massive flight delays at one of the busiest U.S. airports Travelers at Newark Airport this week faced hours-long delays and disruptions. Tom Costello reports.

"MSNBC's Tom Costello claimed Friday that an air traffic controller who works at Newark airport said, ‘It is not safe. It is not a safe situation right now for the flying public. Don't fly into Newark. Avoid Newark at all costs.’”

Employees at the Kennedy Center are no longer allowed to wear masks at work but if you’re a jacked-up ICE officer looking to snatch innocent people off the streets it’s all good. ‘Merica, y’all. I don’t have words to adequately express my contempt for MAGA.

The article also goes into detail about more kinds of religious books that are also exempt, so tariffing other books is only a "freedom of the press" violation, not also an "establishment of religion" violation, but it's still bad.

People really need to get hip to the fact that family dynamics aren’t relegated to the home but scale to communities and the national political environment.

Anyone with experience can tell you exactly why Trump and MAGA function the way they do and why so many people enable them to be worse.

STRENGTHENING AND UNLEASHING AMERICA’S LAW ENFORCEMENT TO PURSUE CRIMINALS AND PROTECT INNOCENT CITIZENS Executive Orders April 28, 2025

Section 1. Purpose and Policy. Safe communities rely on the backbone and heroism of a tough and well-equipped police force. My Administration is steadfastly committed to empowering State and local law enforcement to firmly police dangerous criminal behavior and protect innocent citizens. When local leaders demonize law enforcement and impose legal and political handcuffs that make aggressively enforcing the law impossible, crime thrives and innocent citizens and small business owners suffer. My Administration will therefore: establish best practices at the State and local level for cities to unleash high-impact local police forces; protect and defend law enforcement officers wrongly accused and abused by State or local officials; and surge resources to officers in need.

Making it easier for cops to brutalize us:

“… to create a mechanism to provide legal resources and indemnification to law enforcement officers who unjustly incur expenses and liabilities for actions taken during the performance of their official duties to enforce the law.”

I need to say something on using ai imagery in resistance posting and visuals.
The exact same mindset that tech bros bring to justify using gen ai instead of supporting human creators is being used to carelessly dismantle the United States federal infrastructure and social support right now.

I will literally never forget the winemoms who got kettled & teargassed in Portland 2020 just trying to protect people.

So many of them were pregnant & not only did PPD use *random expired pesticides* as teargas, regular teargas is a known abortifacient. can't imagine that left them unradicalized.

one of the Cuban Revolutions core leaders was a woman the US dismissed as “Castro’s Secretary”.

they fixated most of their assassination attempts on Fidel because of this, which gave her cover to travel between rural towns building out mutual aid networks & supply lines.
