It is very clear the gutting of Teen Vogue is about silencing their excellent political coverage. Corporations want you uninformed and shut off from meaningful journalism. And they’re staggeringly successful at it so far.

Over 10,000 killed within three days.

Pools of blood around a hospital so large they could be seen from space.

An absolute nightmare.

House Speaker Matt Hall, R-Richland Township, signaled he will be blocking the Senate’s $71 million plan to help feed families amid a pause in federal food assistance, saying Thursday the plan is “fake,” “performative” and “political.” (Devin Anderson-Torrez | MLive.com) Michigan House speaker rejects Senate’s $71M food aid bill ahead of SNAP pause Michigan House Speaker Matt Hall, R-Richland Township signaled he will be blocking the Senate’s $71 million plan to help feed families amid a pause in federal food assistance, saying Thursday the plan is “fake,” “performative” and “political.” One reason the bill is “performative,” Hall said, is that the House can’t immediately take up the Senate bill for consideration and get it to the governor’s desk to sign into law due to a five-day layover rule.

Republicans want the people they are elected to serve to starve, and they can't even be bothered to give an excuse for it that doesn't make it sound like their brains have melted.

Image of the mechanical ladder outside the Louvre Text below says WENN'S MAL WIEDER SCHNELL GEHEN MUSS (When you need to move fast) Underneath is more German text which translates as "The Böcker Agilo transports your treasures weighing up to 400kg at 42m/min - quiet as a whisper."

The German company that makes the mechanical ladder used in the Louvre heist has used the image to advertise, with the text 'When you need to move fast'

It certainly appears the United States murdered an innocent fisherman who was a husband and father to four children, claimed he was a "narco-terrorist," posted a video of the execution, and then made jokes about it

Autistic and neurodivergent people deserve far better than a government looking to prevent their existence, let alone one that will invent fictitious ways to do so that puts everyone in danger

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...

Disney+ is still on the BDS list, BTW.

Don't restart your subscription just because they brought back Kimmel. They only did that because they lost so much money anyway; they learned nothing. If Disney or ABC wants your money, make them divest from Israel first.

Calling peoples' employers in a rage because their tributes to Robert Redford weren't horny enough

What happened to Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez Immigration agents shot and killed an unarmed 38-year-old father outside Chicago on Friday—and their initial narrative of events was quickly disproven by videos captured by witnesses.

New, w/ @mulchy.bsky.social & @djbyrnes1.bsky.social:

ICE shot & killed an immigrant in the Chicago suburbs yesterday.

Then they immediately gave a misleading account of events.

Chicago erupted in chaos and a father who lived here for decades is dead. This is what really happened:

You should say what the alternatives are so people understand what you mean by this.

Not that they should go back to X, but that they can migrate to PDS.witchcraft.systems, selfhosted.social, blacksky.app, @transrights.northsky.social

They can use zeppelin.social, blacksky.community, deer.social

Gretchen Felker Martin getting her comic pulled over some breezy comments over a nazi's death while said nazi and also other writers and editors at DC have said far worse about others.

Political violence has no place in a civil liberal society!?!?

What the fuck is ICE?
What the fuck is the US-funded GENOCIDE of the Palestinians?
What the fuck is the systemic POLICE killing of unarmed Black people?
What the fuck is brutal arrest of ANTIWAR college students?

Search LibGen, the Pirated-Books Database That Meta Used to Train AI Millions of books and scientific papers are captured in the collection’s current iteration.

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.

OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

while smiling!

Gavin Newsom literally dressed up in his best Bad Boy™️ attire, invited the press, and smiled as he destroyed everything these constituents had in the world.

Gavin Newsom is not a bad candidate;

Gavin Newsom is truly, at his core, a bad and despicable human being.

For context that's a third the price the RIAA expected a single human to pay for just downloading 24 songs a decade ago (after cutting the ruling down from $1.5m, or $62,000 per song), and that's not adjusting for inflation:

We built a calculator that doesn't work, but don't worry, it's also a plagiarism machine that will tell you to kill yourself. It runs on the world's oceans and costs 10 trillion dollars.

Yes we deliberately kill journalists and aid workers and yes we deliberately bomb hospitals and yes we recently bombed a hospital specifically TO kill a journalist but this time we bombed the hospital and killed journalists and aid workers it was a mishap, both the first bomb and then the follow-up

It is absolutely ridiculous that Adrienne Villa's death has basically gone unreported in local & national media

An anti-ICE protester being held on $1.3 million bail found dead in a courtroom jail cell & crickets from media. Should make you question why they want this kept quiet!

Bluesky moderation suspending trans people for wishing ill on the members of a hate group who are actively working to eradicate us shows us what a morally bankrupt crock of shit civility is and how it only serves to punish victims and protect victimizers. Bluesky should be ashamed of themselves.

personally I think Andrew Cuomo should give his apartment back to the person who really needed it: his adult daughter whom he turfed out of an $8000+/month midtown Manhattan apt bc he actually lives in Westchester but needed to claim residency for psychosexual reasons (running for mayor)

hey @bsky.app why was @scumbelievable.bsky.social suspended? considering the timing (she just put a new book out) it feels like someone is weaponizing your safety features in a targeted manner

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages

miyazaki pegged this all correctly: it is an insult to life itself. and these people do not deserve the biological miracle of life. they hate being alive and all that entails.

No I don't want "humane" deportations, for the same reason I don't want "friendly" cops in schools or "understanding" genital inspectors at sporting events.

The problem is the fascism, not that the fascism is rude.

agrowingculture 3 hours ago 2/5 This morning, Israeli forces raided and demolished the Seed Multiplication Unit of the Union of Agricultural Work Committees' (UAWC) national seed bank in Hebron. Using bulldozers and heavy machinery, the Israeli army destroyed the storage warehouses and infrastructure where essential equipment, seed materials, and tools for indigenous seed reproduction were kept. This is not just an attack on a building-its an attack on Palestinian food sovereignty, biodiversity and cultural memory.

Israel destroyed a Palestinian seed bank today. This is such a specific kind of evil, targeting literal hope for the future. Attempting to further alienate Palestinians from their home and land. So much destroyed just for the sake of destroying. It's awful.

It is an extraordinary loss of intellectual expertise that the American people invested millions in developing

Every scientist who earns a graduate degree in the US is the product of an investment by the public

This is like setting money on fire
