Every time they say “we need regulation” they are confessing that they want to regulate out competition and pull up the ladder behind them.

These ghouls should not be allowed within 100 miles of lawmakers.

Real clown shit.

So if AI succeeds loads of people lose their jobs as they're replaced by AI, and if AI fails, loads of people lose their jobs as the economy crashes?

Chris Murphy on possible military strikes on Venezuela: "It's pretty clear it's just an effort to distract people from the rising prices and the Epstein scandal. No one wants a war with Venezuela ... and by the way, it's wildly illegal."

The Epstein Saga Is Not a Game. It’s About Protecting Women. Donna Ladd reflects on her own story amid the still-unfolding Jeffrey Epstein saga of rape, retribution and the protection of sexual predators.

"We seethe over the betrayal by a supposedly democratic society that quickly averts its collective eyes and allows predators ... to get away with it and reinvent themselves right in front of our eyes as we’re punished if we speak out about our basic rights to survival and safety," Donna Ladd wrote.

All of our power structures, from politics to financing to education to the media, are rotten and corrupted, programmed by capitalism to incentivize and reward predation, exploitation, and dehumanization.

It’s not even hidden at this point and it demands wholesale change.

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

It literally never was. I suggested to some other NCMEC Board members when I was there that we should push back on the wrongful use of “groomer” to describe non-pedophiles. The answer, from Rich Kolodziej, NCMEC Board member: “we aren’t here to protect Democrats”.

This case -– perhaps the most important ever to fall within the jurisdiction of this district court –- squarely presents the issue whether non-citizens lawfully present here in United States actually have the same free speech rights as the rest of us. The Court answers this Constitutional question unequivocally “yes, they do.” “No law” means “no law.”

Judge Young—who has been on the bench for as long as I have been alive—calls it the most important case he has ever considered.

Motherfucking wind farms…

2, please

I can tell it’s photoshopped because the trees are fake

Your daily reminder that half of people are dumber than the average person

The position of the US is that they can send anyone to a concentration camp for life based on the equivalent of that Family Guy racism paint chit, and have no responsibility to get you out even if they admit you're a citizen who has done nothing wrong. This is bone chilling

There are trans Americans right now looking out at this world and wondering if anyone is going to stand up for them and for their simple right to exist.

Well, I am. We are. We will.

A reminder for this Transgender Day of Visibility:

Trans people have always existed, and we always will. 

No president, politician, or court can change that.

Seriously -- he's broadcasting plans to violate state and federal election laws, in support of his quest to sway a state Supreme Court election.

Arrest him.

Yes, even though he's really rich.

Arrest him.

Thank you so much for Mantracks. I remember being a little kid and my grandparents trying to indoctrinate me into it, but it made no sense and never took. 30+ years later today was my grandmother’s funeral and Mantracks made me feel close to her again.

Yeah it's real apparent when you see southern prison workforces and the notion we have nearly a quarter of the world's incarcerated.

Slavery was never fully abolished, just polished with *modernity*

Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.

They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

Does this mean the iPad app is going to be better soon??? It still does that thing where it’s just a zoomed iPhone app :(

If Hegseth is not fired, then Signal becomes an official platform for all TS and up comms. Neat!

SULLIVAN: “I do not care about the economy if the government claims it can break down anyone's doors, seize anyone with no due process, put them on a plane, and send them to a foreign jail… that is fundamental to this country.” 🇺🇸

I keep dwelling on just how effective ICE is not as a border control agency, but as a state-sponsored terrorist group. I’m a US born white middle aged dude, and even I’m increasingly nervous about my upcoming international trips. I can’t even imagine how hellish life is rn for their actual targets.
