Meta’s internal memo said the political tumult in the United States was good timing for the feature’s release. “We will launch during a dynamic political environment where many civil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns,” according to the document from Meta’s Reality Labs, which works on hardware including smart glasses.

this is comically evil. brazenly anti-social. just absolute black-pilled nihilism. we will not have a republic, we will not be free, until we regulate these companies to the point where — at a bare minimum — they're too afraid to put stuff like this down on paper.

Reminder: The national guard occupation in DC has cost over $330 million in taxpayer money so far and they're set to remain here for the rest of the year.

one of the things that’s harder to see while we are in it, but will jump off the page at future historians, is how deeply corrupt *the entire trump family* is, and how they abused and and manipulated every lever of the federal government they could grab to steal everything that isn’t nailed down

The Senate is voting on this bill *right now* but it's dead on arrival. Their window of opportunity ended yesterday and they are too late.

All today's vote will do is show us which Senators are willing to sacrifice children and families to Trump's fascist administration.

tom homan is a bitch

it really can't be said enough that this is a person who has dined with the president of the united states

america is truly a land of contrasts, a capital sector completely dominated by trying to build the God Brain For Human Instrumentality and a labor market propped up by changing old people's diapers

ICE to begin detaining immigrants inside Social Circle warehouse in April Homeland Security plans to build warehouse detention facilities in other cities being met with opposition.

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.

If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

No son, they are not "magically delicious." The workers made them delicious. This is a slogan meant to mystify the social conditions of labor

It’s 1853 & people are in hiding from slave catchers. It’s 2026 & people are in hiding from slave catchers.

Israel used weapons in Gaza that made thousands of Palestinians evaporate US-made thermal weapons burning at 3,500C caused 2,842 people to "evaporate" in Gaza, Al Jazeera investigation finds.

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?”

There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.

i think this more than anything is what miller wants. vast detention camps with all of the suffering and death that means.

This kind of smart, walkable, mixed-use urbanism is illegal to build in most American cities.

The truth about ICE and the New England Patriots jets (Go Seahawks) The best reason to hate the New England Patriots is where their team planes have been.

LIKE I SAID

GO SEAHAWKS

OK "god bless america" and then naming every country in the americas from south to north is absolute king shit

I of course feel for Nancy Guthrie and her family, but there is something really grim about days of breathless CNN headlines about the kidnapping of one celebrity-related white woman, even as armed agents of our government are systematically kidnapping huge numbers of families every single day.

RIP Fred Smith of Television — one of the coolest bassists of all time.

Maybe it’s just me, but I suspect lots of women are not as shocked by the Epstein story as men because we’ve been dealing with and living in rape culture since we were children. A thing to think about if you are a man policing women’s responses to this story for appropriate levels of outrage

4. I’m not sure even the Obama piñata can give his core followers the hit it used to give. Not only does the racism dopamine have a killer half life, Obama has been mostly gone from public discourse. I guess we will see.

Three thoughts.

1. It’s always been about the white nationalism

2. He is returning to the old favorites because his support is waning

3. He dabbled with this trope before but would always leave a hair of deniability. Going straight there also seems like a sign of weakness

The entire anti wokeness nonsense of the past decade was about making this kind of gutter racism broadly acceptable again bsky.app/profile/adam...

“Trump truly is something new—the first president whose entire political existence hinges on the fact of a black president.”

“Moreover, to accept that whiteness brought us Donald Trump is to accept whiteness as an existential danger to the country and the world.”

i am trying not to joke about the Epstein stuff because it's so horrible but there's also this ridiculous element where it's like... discovering Dracula is real, he's taken over human society at the highest levels, he's involved in tons of evil and also he's a huge dipshit

Ron Wyden Only Talks Like This When The Spies Do Something *Real* Bad No, I don't know what they did. But I have a lot of experience with the senator

@wyden.senate.gov's record of warning that there is deep and constitutionally-serious dirt being done by the intelligence agencies in secret is unblemished. The vaguer he is, the filthier the dirt is. This is the vaguest I've ever seen him

NEW: since last year, a pair of "highly trained" feds have been involved in an array of incidents attacking crowds with chemical weapons.

We used public records and open source analysis to identify Edgar Vazquez and Michael Sveum, alongside some other members of their tactical team.
