So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

"When I picked up my granddaughter from the federal agents, she had a dirty diaper, a bruise on her face, and was developing a rash. She was exhausted and cried… My heart aches knowing this could happen to others, to my kids, or even me, despite being U.S. citizens.”

Gonna repost this every time I come across it on socials. 💚

I've reported on Flock for awhile now. Early on, people seemed indifferent about the cameras, saying what most people do about surveillance tech, "I'm not doing anything wrong, so who cares?" Now, the public opinion has shifted entirely. People hate the cameras.

once you start answering those questions, nuclear energy feels less like a solution and more like a fix for our energy addiction.

how are the resources extracted and where? how much cool water will be available in the next several years due to climate collapse? how is spent fuel rods handled? how are existing superfund sites managed?

nuclear energy has had great propaganda. people heard "low carbon energy" and were sold. can't tell them about all the other ways in which it is an awful source of energy.

DHS Wants a Fleet of AI-Powered Surveillance Trucks US border patrol is asking companies to submit plans to turn standard 4x4 trucks into AI-powered watchtowers—combining radar, cameras, and autonomous tracking to extend surveillance on demand.

by me @ wired:

obama ramped up the use of drone strikes (10x more than bush!) and deported a record number of immigrants. he helped maintain and expand the systems trump is now using to do his crimes

“No Kings is Antifa”
or is it
“No Kings will be infiltrated by Antifa”

The logic isn’t there, the argument doesn’t matter, the goal is internal division and outsourcing police labor to establishment-aligned vigilantes.

Don’t do the work for the Trump admin.
If you see something, no you didn’t.

"If a fire occurs in the cabin, if we land on water, don't check on the immigrants. Just make sure that ... the guards and the people that work for the government get off."

The audacity of people who pretend that everything that's going on now came down to a vote is astonishing. It ignores the culpability of BOTH parties in setting the precedents currently being weaponized by fascism. It's like nothing ever happened, and all was well with the world before 2025.

tis the season of me stopping for leaves crossing the road thinking they're little critters

Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

liberals are still stuck on the idea that we live in a "law-based" society despite the long winding trail of evidence that proves otherwise. laws only exist to keep the people obedient. the ruling class have always done as they pleased.

Finland ends homelessness and provides shelter for all in need - scoop.me In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

It costs a lot less to house people.

I know everyone is consumed with other news, but this is a big fucking deal: The Trump administration says that IUDs and the Pill are actually abortions.

Here's what USAID told the NYT about the $10m in birth control they plan to destroy.

‘Radicalized’ Evergreen High School shooter appeared to hold antisemitic, violent views in online accounts Armed with a revolver, the 16-year-old shooter systematically reloaded and fired as he wandered the school, trying to find new targets, police say.

“[His] accounts also include references to Holocaust denial, and the name of one of the accounts appeared to end with a reference to a prominent white supremacist slogan.”

Political violence is the kidnapping of Mahmoud Khalil and hundreds of thousands of other immigrants.

Political violence is the murder of at least tens of thousands of Palestinians and the displacement and intentional starvation of millions.

Political violence is what the police do every day.

A social media post from Sean Davis (@seanmdav) reading: The Democrat party is a domestic terrorist organization whose most fanatics will not hesitate to murder their political opponents. This was not a one-off event. A Bernie bro tried to murder an entire park full of Republican lawmakers. A deranged left-winger attempted a mass shooting at the Family Research Council building. They tried to assassinate Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett before the Dobbs decision. Their demonic trans foot soldiers murdered Christian children while they worshipped at church and studied at their desks. They tried to blow Trump’s head off on live TV after failing to bankrupt him and have him thrown in prison for life. Their race warriors spent an entire summer burning cities to the ground. Antifa will ambush and kill cops without remorse. They’ll watch one of their own plow a vehicle into a Christmas parade and shrug and then tell you to calm down about it. CNN and MSNBC and deranged left-wing personalities on BlueSky deliberately incite violence, and when it happens, they take the psychopath’s route of mocking and gaslighting the victims. Terrorist Democrats will not stop. Just look at their reactions right now. They are either laughing about it or lying about it. But deep down they’re fine with it. And until they are stopped—until every single nutjob inciting this madness and cheering it on is held accountable and removed from civil society—it will not stop.

Centrist democrats must understand that any support or leeway that they offer the Trump administration or the police in the wake of the death of Charlie Kirk will not make them safer. The entire apparatus of "law and order" will be turned against them as well as against those it has always harmed.

Support lil nas x even if he's innocent

Because banning social media for kids is not about protecting kids or making their lives better. It flies in the face of research, data, and what kids are telling us. It’s about controlling them, isolating them, and keeping them uninformed. It’s part of the fascist playbook.

super interesting that bsky has suspended the accounts of two prominent trans women this week, both of whom were critical of known transphobes and used fairly tame language.

it's probably nothing.

Minnesota teen says server forced her to prove her gender in restaurant bathroom The 18-year-old high school student said she unzipped her hoodie to show she had breasts after a Buffalo Wild Wings server didn't believe she is a woman.

This breaks my heart. This is sexual harassment. This is traumatizing. TERFs and transphobes and everyone “just asking questions” for “women’s safety” (this happened to a cis teenager) should be ashamed for the rest of their lives.

Anas al-Sharif, prominent Al Jazeera correspondent, among five journalists killed in Israeli airstrike on Gaza Israel admits deliberate attack on the journalist, known for frontline coverage, in a strike on a tent outside al-Shifa hospital

I have studied the targeting of journalists for many years, but the scale and public display of these killings is truly shocking: “Israel admits deliberate attack on the journalist, known for frontline coverage, in a strike on a tent outside al-Shifa hospital“

"Agents stormed our restaurants in a show of force that went beyond anything reasonable or humane. They raided the heart of our business, tore through our spaces, and left behind a trail of fear, confusion, destruction. Our kitchens were flipped. Our walk-ins emptied. Food trashed. Doors broken."

A government-sanctioned "truth arbiter" will soon arrive at CBS. Their role will be to ensure that journalists do not criticize this Administration or express views that conflict with its agenda.

This is a betrayal—not just of journalistic independence, but of the public trust. 🧵

Border Patrol agents raided a Home Depot in Los Angeles today, kidnapping over a dozen people in what they called "Operation Trojan Horse."

They borrowed this tactic from Patriot Front, a neo-Nazi group that rents box trucks to transport its members to marches.

Now the fascists hold state power.
