The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Regarding Lola's eyes in the dark, I thought about how we can open more eyes to what's going on with impact. Is there some kind of way to show a Google map of videos where these things are happening. A popup for each pin with which rights were violated in that spot and the news video to accompany.

fellas, it is "woke" to point out when the administration is violating most of the Bill of Rights

David Letterman is right: you can't appease a tyrant.

so many dead canaries and we just keep on mining

Whoa.

I have had this at work on more than one occasion by different people:
"We need Trump over here!"
"Trust me; we don't"
"Well, he's doing something about all the immigrants."

Baby needs a new pair of shoes.

Thank you for this article! I miss the trust we used to have in our media institutions to be the Fourth Estate for the sake of (at least in part) public good and not just for the venal attention economy.

It's so rare that I get to say this about one of your super-unique posts, but: I've swam in Jellyfish Lake 8 times! It's fun to watch the baby ones swim so fast going nowhere fast and the adults swim so slow without a care in the world.

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

this image of the FBI at the orders of the state to arrest an elected politician for just asking the DHS secretary a question needs to be spread for the next 4 years when talking about the fascism of this administration

As a father, I still get sad thinking about “I can’t swim”. Right in the feels.

@tychobrahe.bsky.social somehow I missed the Monster Train train. So the question is should I start with the first or is the second just a more perfect union?

Photopea.com may work.

The DOJ lawyer who made the mistake of answering the court's questions about Abrego-Garcia candidly (eg yes he was mistakenly deported, a fact the Administration already has acknowledged), which got him put on administrative leave, has now been fired, ending his 15-year DOJ career..

We've seen videos like this before, but usually when you see a tearful wife pleading with the kidnappers who have taken her husband, she's not talking to the U.S. president

Kilmar Abrego Garcia lived in Maryland with his wife and their three children, and has never been charged with any crime.

The Department of Homeland Security issued him a work permit, and he joined a union, working full time as a sheet metal apprentice.

So proud of American Resisters today!

I feel like even ChatGPT could have predicted these challenges if they'd bothered to ask. The amount of money going after something so buzzy is frustrating when they're cutting in so many other areas.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

On the left: Hegseth's message.

On the right: the applicable CENTCOM classification guide provisions.

This is all very plainly classified at the SECRET level.

They all lied. They should all lose their jobs.

@mattiadeiulis.bsky.social I had to look you up after viewing Absolute Wonder Woman. Phenomenal art! The blue-white off Hades as she removed her weapons felt so atmospheric. 😍

His greed sickens me

Sometimes I think we need some kind of documentary series that runs a profile on each major government org and shows the struggles and successes and humanizes the staff. Sounds boring to watch unless you get a genius director. PBS airs them periodically and they’re part of high school curriculum.
