Google is hosting a CBP app that uses facial recognition to identify immigrants, while simultaneously removing apps that report the location of ICE officials because Google sees ICE as a vulnerable group.

Having to watch a bootlegged copy of a video from another country because my country censored it is making me feel as if I'm living in 1980s Eastern Germany.

People missing an important point about folks getting fired for whatever they said about Charlie Kirk: Americans are being conditioned to be snitches on their fellow citizens who don’t toe a party line on what is “allowed” to be expressed. And employers are going along. It’s the new secret police

This is simply untenable. There is no way forward with media and political classes captured by the right. Every time someone commits a crime you have to pray it's not an undesirable or it's purge time, then when it turns out to be themselves again they just shrug and wait for the next one.

reposting with alt text because this feels incredibly significant. the right-wing disinfo machine means a lot of the people grieving Charlie Kirk never heard any of the things he said that would have tarnished his brand as Guy Who Just Wants to Have Dialogue Across the Aisle

A sea turtle surfacing by a MASSIVE school of rays near Clearwater, Florida a couple days ago. Another post into the BluSky void. Maybe 2 or 3 people will see this one and my time won't have been wasted. I'll keep trying a little longer. #nature #animals #amazing #wildlife #awesome #ocean

Of course.

So Texas Republicans have now set up a TIP LINE to rat out the Texas Democrats

So PLEASE, for the sake of the public, DO NOT FLOOD THIS NUMBER with tips on Bigfoot sightings, UFO sightings, or asking why Trump is on “the list”

Thank you!

Truth-tellers, not rioters. Protect these two men at all costs.

The essence of fascism is government by emergencies. Dictatorship by first resort instead of a last resort. Creation of permanent crises instead of resolving them.

Trump told reporters at the White House that the protesters in Los Angeles “are insurrectionists.” That’s false. January 6 was an insurrection, this is a protest. But by using that language, he may be laying the groundwork to invoke the 1807 Insurrection Act.

Hello. I live in Los Angeles. The president is lying.

“Tasted a little tear gas— tasted like fascism”

Sec Def threatening to deploy the military against American civilians has us checking to make sure we are still living in the United States. To our troops risking their lives to protect us and our republic - we support you. Do not accept illegal orders. Call the GI rights hotline 1-877-447-4487.

And I've seen several people on here mention the hole in the ozone layer. Same thing. Real problem that was solved by regulation (this time as part of an international agreement).

Millions of you, around the world, have put the lessons I wrote in #OnTyranny in late 2016 to good use. It has been humbling to learn how from courageous and creative dissenters, protestors, and oppositionists. I was honored when John Lithgow volunteered to read them aloud.

Both sides the same tho huh

This is blood-boiling. Charles Rogers was awarded the Medal of Honor in Vietnam after being wounded three times leading the defense of a position.

Google his name and the entry below comes up. When you click, you'll see the page has been deleted and the URL changed to include "DEI medal."

The NYT, WaPo, LAT, CNN, etc etc have shifted to the right. Fox & the Post et al have always been hard right. Twitter & Meta are controlled by right wingers. On a daily basis, millions of Americans - probably the majority - see nothing but sanitized, accomodationist, right wing coverage of Trump.

re the previous repost: if they can disappear permanent residents they can disappear citizens

DOGE recommends cuts to the FAA.

Hundreds of workers get fired, including those tasked with producing air traffic navigation maps.

Now Starlink is reportedly in line to take over a $2 billion contract to upgrade the nation's air traffic control systems.

See how this works?

The GOP passed a budget resolution tonight that will gut Medicaid, SNAP, and other vital programs — as 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.

Why? To finance more tax cuts for the top 1%.

We have socialism in this country for the rich, harsh capitalism for everyone else.

California's mountain towns crushed as Trump guts Forest Service Calif. mountain towns are surrounded by public lands. They're already dealing with the fallout of cuts to the U.S. Forest Service and land management agencies.

The good news is that reactionary centrists are engaging in some self-reflection on the excesses of the right-wing backlash to 'wokeness.'

The bad news is that they are saying it is woke people's fault.

I saw the Kanye ad yesterday (it aired in the Philly market, where we were) but didn't click on the link.

Today I found out it went to a website selling swastika T-shirts.

This was a Superbowl ad.

And it was to a website selling swastika T-shirts.

I feel like I'm losing my mind.
