Screen shot of CNN site with a Saturday breaking news alert explaining that Trump launched a strike against Iran atop a CNN story from the same day headlined “Always a peacemaker”: How Trump decided to hold off on striking Iran

really sums up the media’s coverage of the Trump presidency

>be utah
>ban gender affirming care and commission a study to support the ban
>study comes out showing the care is safe and effective
>ignore the study and continue the ban anyways

what is fascinating to me is the number of people whose “knowledge” of government appears to just be an accumulation of cliches and stereotypes + an inchoate sense that if something is big and costly then it must necessarily be “wasteful”

It is frustrating when I see people who's perspectives I generally want to respect dunking on an article that would likely agree with if they actually read the damn thing. I expect more from the side that is supposed to be far more media literate compared to the other side.

"Hasan Has a MAGA Body" is a little misleading as a headline sure, but the article is obviously not about the fact that he is built like a republican but rather how his strong and fit body that matches manosphere values has been a part of what lets him have the reach he does in some instances.

It's kinda insane to me how many people on here react to article headlines and don't actually engage with content of the article itself sometimes. I'm pretty close to unfollowing some people for never actually checking what the content of an article is before taking a stance based on the headline.

I wake up every day depressed or angry but feel fine by mid day. Its so fucking weird feeling like I'm going through one of the best times of my life and yet the world around me has become even more cruel.

It looks more like it's on the border of steampunk and diesel punk too, rather than actually just steampunk.

Transgender Athletes Could Be At A Physical Disadvantage, New Research Shows An IOC-funded study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine earlier this month suggests transgender athletes could be at a physical disadvantage.

U.S. Park Service Strikes Transgender References From Stonewall Website The “T” was removed in references to L.G.B.T.Q.+ on the official site for the Greenwich Village monument, which marks a milestone in the fight for gay rights.

They literally removed the T from LGBTQ and erased any mention of trans people who were present at the Stonewall Riots. They're trying to erase us from history.

To Whom It May Concern, I'm writing this with a heavy heart and no small amount of fear. As a former X (formerly Twitter) employee on an H1B visa, I can't reveal my identity without risking everything, but I can't stay silent any longer about what I saw and was made to do. When Elon Musk took over, everything changed. What started as a social media company became something much darker. I was part of a team that was directly ordered to manipulate Twitter's systems to influence the 2024 US presidential election. It wasn't subtle, and it wasn't ethical. We completely changed how the algorithm worked, pushing pro-Trump and right-wing posts to the top of people's feeds. To make it look balanced, we also boosted some left-wing critics of Democrats, but it was all carefully calculated. These changes didn't just affect Americans - they impacted users worldwide. One of the most disturbing things we did was create thousands of fake accounts using advanced AI systems called Grok and Eliza. These accounts looked completely real and pushed political messages that spread like wildfire. Havn't you noticed they all disappeared? Like magic. We also knowingly allowed foreign governments to manipulate the platform. State-backed groups from Israel, Iran, and Russia were running their own influence campaigns, and because their goals aligned with ours, we looked the other way. Even when they clearly broke the rules, we didn't stop them.

Perhaps the most unethical part was how we manufactured news stories. One team would write completely fake articles, while another team would artificially boost their engagement metrics to make them go viral. We specifically targeted certain groups of people, knowing exactly how to manipulate their views and emotions. The moderation team became a tool for our agenda. We systematically silenced anyone who got in our way, enforcing the rules when it suited us and ignoring them when it didn't. Elon Musk himself was deeply involved in these decisions, often joking about being "Black Hat MAGA." What started as US election interference has now spread to other countries. We're currently doing the same thing in Germany and other European nations. The damage we've done is immeasurable, and I don't know if it can ever be fixed. People don't know what's real anymore, and that's exactly what we wanted. The pilot program for the Eliza AI Agent, was election interference. Eliza was release officially in October of 2024, but we had access to it before then thanks to Marc Andreessen. I'm terrified to be writing this, but I had to speak up. I just hope that someone with the power to do something about this sees this letter. You'll know what i’m saying is the truth by Elon's actions to the news someone spoke out. For more evidence look at the docs of Eliza AI Agent software. We left bread crumbs. Yours sincerely, A former employee who can't sleep at night.

Danielle Smith with over 16,000 likes on her post: It is a far wiser approach, and a much more Canadian one I might add, to diplomatically identify their concerns through face-to-face engagement and work with them on negotiating a win-win for both the U.S. and Canada. The U.S. President is clearly concerned about border security, achieving energy dominance and strengthening the shared defence of our continent. Our two countries clearly have shared interests in all of these areas. So let’s start there and move forward with a mature discussion as friends should. We need to lead with diplomacy rather than bravado, bluster and escalation. I will continue to do so.

The challenge posed by the tariff threat is also an opportunity to focus on growing our economy here at home."

Having read this and now seeing how pro-Trump politicians posts from foreigners fare against anti-Trump ones it's pretty crystal clear

Propaganda works better by presenting it in a non-political context. Audiences absorb the lies because they don't have their defenses up like they do when hearing explicitly political messages

First Guilty Gear Lab sesh since joining Bluesky! Here is a new Millia concept for a post HKD wallbreak safejump!

Hey! 👋🏽 I’m back. Is anyone still here or seeing this?

"Trump isn't going to do Project 2025"

You stupid idiot moron, if Trump told you a concentration camp was a 5 star hotel, you would excitedly walk in.

No.

Anyone saying trump will run the country like a business and therefore will be good for the economy needs to realize that him running it like a business means maximum profit for the shareholders (rich right wing capitalists) and maximum theft from the workers (the people).

I think the real thing we have to worry about is not just his influence of the position of president in the USA, but in other countries in the coming years. He is going to use his wealth and media to do the same sort of thing in Canada next.

Really really starting to think that while we have been so focused on Trump, Elon Musk has become the far far bigger evil. He is the new prime driver of the information environment favoring lies and facism. The amount of money and influence he has makes him the most powerful person in the world.

I’m pretty likely to stop using Twitter soon, but before I do, I wanted to share the size my blocklist got to without using any external programs or consulting any lists of people to block. This is my own homegrown blocklist.

Nearly every mass shooter is a registered republican and often explicitly praise right-wing figures in their manifestos. If people are voting based on which political party's supporters are more toxic Harris would have won by a landslide

can't move forward without addressing the "two realities" problem
