yours says swan!

If the Dems who win in the 2026 midterms get squeamish about prosecuting this administration, we'll need to elect a bunch of new people running on Nuremberg shit for 2028. This isn't a joke. It's the law. It's justice. Biden let Trump back in the WH and this happened because Joe didn't do his job

will remember jay as the person who deleted lexi alexander and link, worked hard to cut palestinians off from their one chance at survival, ignored the ongoing abuse of Black and trans users, and then when confronted about the whole thing said 'waffles'. and for that fugly no caesars shirt.

My name is Marisa Kabas, and I'm an independent journalist who publishes The Handbasket. I'm reaching out about a matter that involves your team and that continues to trouble me. In June of last year, Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press and I filed a FOIA lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan Police Department to compel them to release body camera footage from the March 17, 2025 DOGE raid on the US Institute of Peace. What followed was months of back and forth with their lawyers, arguing why it was in the public interest to release the un-redacted footage in its entirety. Though tiny segments were handed over, that wasn't enough: We wanted all of it.  On February 18, 2026, a DC judge ruled in our favor, and your reporter Mark Segraves sent a kind note of congratulations that day. Then on Monday, March 2nd, the footage was handed over to me and excitedly announced I'd received it and would be reviewing it in the coming days and sharing what I learned. When Segraves emailed me this past Thursday asking for my phone number, I didn't think much of it. But when he called me just before 2pm on Friday to let me know NBC4 Washington would be airing a segment at 5pm, I grew concerned.  Segraves said he'd obtained some of the footage via a FOIA request that week after he heard the footage had been released to me. He said he'd credit the work of RCFP and me, but it was little comfort. I asked if he'd known the day before when he emailed me for my number, why didn't he tell me then? He didn't have a good answer for that. He acknowledged all the hard work I'd done getting this footage released. I asked him if he could hold the story until Monday, to which he replied that he's "not just a blogger" (implying that that's all I am, presumably) and that he'd have to check with his editor. I said fine. Nearly an hour later he called back to say his editor refused to hold the story, but that they were happy to interview me via Zoom to add to the package, and I said I would.

What followed was two hours of furiously writing and posting clips of the footage to Youtube so I could get something published before the 5pm broadcast, and in the midst of that, recording a quick Zoom interview with a person who was about to take credit for my work. At 4:59pm ET, The Handbasket published a piece titled "Police body cam footage shows DOGE knew Institute of Peace was private property during raid." Then I tuned into NBC4 Washington via your website to catch the broadcast, and my instinct to rush to get something out first was proven right.  "It's a story you're seeing first on News4," your newscast began. "For the first time we're getting an inside look at what happened the day the Trump administration took over the US Institute of Peace. News4 obtained more than four hours of police body camera video from that day." What followed was more than six minutes of clips and commentary from Segraves, but it's not until six minutes and 21 seconds into the piece that he mentions my name (mispronounced though he asked for the correct pronunciation on Zoom), "The Handbasket blog," and the RCFP's foundational role in bringing this footage to light. I was angry, but didn't feel there was much I could do. Then I saw the version NBC4 posted to Instagram and TikTok—the video itself made ZERO mention of the RCFP or my work, only briefly acknowledging it in the written caption on Instagram, and not even bothering to do that on TikTok. An average viewer with no background on the case is lead to believe that this footage was released because of your efforts. When I saw that, I decided I couldn't let this go. It's difficult to explain what it's like to spend nearly a year working on a story only to have another reporter and outlet surreptitiously take credit for it; months of work and personal risk only to have another reporter lying in wait to swoop in. What NBC4 did was immoral, unethical, and to be frank, just truly sucked.

I just sent this email to the news director at NBC4 Washington about the unprofessional and disrespectful way they handled publishing the body camera footage of the DOGE raid on the US Institute of Peace that was obtained via my FOIA lawsuit:

drove past a car accident today and saw 6 cop cars.

when i was a firefighter, cops did literally nothing useful at accidents. they blocked our apparatus, they argued with us, the didn't do first aid right.

all of them could be replaced by real public servants who would actually help people

11:52 • (23) 1 (You're Not Allowed To Sing) It was 1995 and Father just went outside onto the patio area of our trailer. It was cold out, a windy autumn day in Portage, Michigan. It couldn't have been more than fifty degrees outside. I was four years old, and I didn't have time for shoes, a coat, or even pants. Mother was busy taking a shower, so I knew it was my chance. Maybe my only chance. Father seemed to love me at least a little bit. Mother was always more cruel. I think she hated me the most. I ran outside in the long, pajama t-shirt that I wore to bed. I wasn't worried about the cold. I was almost five years old and didn't want to get any older in this body. My fifth birthday was approaching fast, and all! could think about was "Jesus is angry and locked me in the wrong body... because of sins from before" or "Aliens put me in the wrong body as an experiment at night and forgot to put me back in the morning." Mother started her shower a few minutes ago so l knew I probably only had until the current show on Nick Jr. was over. I was hoping that maybe Mother was the reason I had been forced to bury my secret when I told them last year. After all, she was the one that kept ripping pencils out of my left hand while insisting life would be easier if I used my right hand. Mother threw away my Lite Brite and markers. I kept making stars and flowers which they said was against the rules. Father's mean too, but differently. He makes fun of mo with unrde I don' undoretond liko st concor へ

spiderking23 @spiderking232 X.com All pornography is bad. As someone who is still somewhat caught in its grip, it is a despicable evil, a very blight on the human condition that should be utterly eradicated. It does to your brain, your conscience, and morality, the same thing smoking does to your lungs. › TheConservativeFurry @ConservFurry99.2d Apparently liking feral dragon art is zoophilia.

Friendly reminder self-reported “porn addiction” is correlated with personal guilt over using porn, statistics suggest self-identifying “porn addicts” are actually consuming porn at a relatively normal rate — they just feel uniquely bad about it due to their religious values

You can't solve any of this in a meaningful or lasting way if you keep capitalism. Trump is only a symptom and replacing him with some neoliberal will just apply a congenial bandaid to the status quo for 4-8 years before the dial is cranked even further.

You're working so hard to provide for your brother and mother. 200 euros is doable with just 10 20e donations. I hope some of my followers can get you there.

godddddddd ofc hed weigh in

very true. its a delicate balance for sure

you get a free ask once an hour

making kids laugh for energy brings up uncomfortable conversations, they're making movies not therapy

this is the price of giving a semi-famous guy cover for transmisogyny

you should all be ashamed

Bella's harassers are threatening her with pre-transition revenge videos now.

And the only thing that @safety.bsky.app appears to have done is ban HER for being upset about it, multiple times.

im so sorry, its so fucked up

well nevermind

my point is, no one is saying "ai is sentient therefor using it for work is abuse and these companies must dissolve"

its always "ai maybe might be sentient which is why its actually really smart and good to use"

to me its like, a desert with no sky

theres an empty mall not far from where i live, and crucially its not completely empty. nearly all of the big name stores are gone, the fixtures' from the 2000s, yet they still have a hot topic and a few small businesses

the backrooms never resonated with me but being there gives an eerie feeling

Instead of banning mtn dew at breakfast time, why don't parents teach kids like me to drink it critically? local toddler Max shares what he has learned in a mountain dew commercial on TV.

for the record this is what y'all sounded like blaming hamas for bombing hospitals, just so you know!

gundam models but functional

exactly. what they urge us to settle for is leagues away from good, and what we desire is far from perfect, but rather the bare minimum

"perfect is the enemy of good" define good. define what's good about the lesser evil because in my mind a lesser evil is still evil. not good.

"is ai sentient" is the wrong question.

a better question is: if ai is sentient, is it in a way that could hurt tech companies' bottom line

or is it solely in way it would make those companies even greater profits.

because i only see folks arguing for the latter when they say its sentient
