NafNaf (& NAFO)

love when a paywall sounds like it’s drawing a gun on you

Oh yeah nice one kid hook that hope for humanity right into my veins

ILLINOIS… Gov. Pritzker…

Gabbard’s pick to run a counterterrorism center aided the start of a right-wing paramilitary group Joe Kent, a promoter of conspiracy theories, has long associated with extremists.

They are stacking these shit birds deep.

I feel as if we're capable of acknowledging that a one-day boycott is mostly symbolic without becoming contemptuous and dismissive of people finding a little meaning and comfort in such a symbol. The scorn seems petty.

If you would’ve told me the next FBI director nominee would be a guy on Kremlin payroll , I’d say it’s too cheap of a plot .

Oh wait

Big protests against the AfD in Munich today.

Fuck Elon Musk.

We Germans know, NEVER again!

a good part of me thinks that in addition to everything else, the reason they are scrubbing these stories is they do not want disadvantaged kids to believe they can aspire to anything other than their designated “black” or “hispanic” or “woman” job

Politico helped Trump launder lies during the campaign and he’s been on a week-long rampage against them anyway ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

A photo from tonight, day 73 non-stop. We want free and fair elections for four reasons: electoral fraud, a U-turn in foreign policy, systemic torture of protesters, and endless crisis that will only deepen. And the release of the political prisoners. #GeorgiaProtests

Musk isn’t making government smaller.

He’s shutting down the parts of the government that have been investigating his companies for safety violations and ties to Russia.

If we had enforced laws against white collar crime this stupid shit would not be happening. There has been countless opportunities to use the state against Musk and the VC class because they have been openly committing crimes for a long fucking time.

Precise analysis in this thread

Yessss! An affinity for the kind of racial politics that permitted his wealth, but a cosmopolitan (Anglo) aspiration rather than one committed to white native betterment (Afrikaner), to speak in generalizations.

This is fascinating. Also makes me think about the slippages in Musk's identity, a white guy raised in a Pretoria mining family surrounded by Afrikaans culture but not actually Afrikaner.

Big ups to @signal.org @meredithmeredith.bsky.social for allowing usernames instead of phone numbers last year (signal.org/blog/phone-n...).

Washington basically runs on Signal right now and that one change has made reporting and whistleblowing way more private and secure.

The people I am most interested in hearing from right now are exvangelicals who have thoughts about how to challenge the chokehold evangelicalism has on so many of our fellow humans

It's an intriguing part of Congress acquiescing to this coup. The GOP spent 45 years making the federal gov't subsidize red states and rural areas. E.g., if some greasy incel uses "fraud detection AI" to cut unusually high proportions of SSI/SSDI recipients, that'd be West Virginia (9.6%).

It's also not true. White maternal death rates are also not great when compared to other countries. The downside of using the people you systematically opress as your benchmark is you fail to recognize how your own policies are killing you.

Subscriptions not doing what you hoped, huh

@teewatterss on threads posted: watching the final season it felt so ridiculous that Daenerys could go mad within a two episode arc but 40 days into 2025 and like I get it now

what we need around here are more dragons

I feel so, so sorry for my colleagues in the US. How can someone destroy the decades-long lighthouse of science in less than 2 weeks? The US used to be the place to go to do great science and/or learn state-of-the-art medicine. It's just pure madness.

UPDATE: Children’s Wisconsin hospital reinstates gender-affirming care for trans teen after canceling in wake of Trump’s executive order The order is being challenged in court as illegal and unconstitutional.

Incredible news. After immense pressure and threats of protest, Children's Wisconsin has reinstated treatment for at least one trans teen under its care.

Several hospitals across the country determined their fear of Trump's illegal EO was more important than their trans patients.

Happening now: Hospital staff and community members are currently protesting outside of the Seattle Children’s Hospital demanding the reinstatement of gender affirming surgeries for trans youth.

#NAFO is dead. Long live NAFO! 🤭

I just wanna see more of this happening
