"hand-to-hand combat with antifa every night"

history teacher in 50 years: So in September, that’s when the president signed an executive order criminalizing anti-fascism and saying all resistance would be crushed

student: oh so that’s when the whole country realized they were living under fascism

teacher: haha what? oh no lol not at all. no.

The Sora AI thing is proof of something very important: The technology itself is useless without the ability to use the likenesses of real, living, unpredictable people, and the art they create. And the only way to get those likenesses or that art is to summarily steal it.

US farmers are saying they "just need temporary help, until things get better."

Here's the thing. US farm exports- which are mostly soy- CANNOT get better.

Other countries expanded their soy industries to fill China's demand.

We've walled ourselves out of the global market, folks. This is it.

If any other president in all of history said the military should use American cities as a training ground he would be removed from office that same day. The hardest thing to tolerate in all this is how relatively silent elected democrats are. It’s ridiculous.

We probably should, as a society, spend more time talking about how the president has zero connection to objective reality and no ability to discern real things that are happening from propaganda produced by his own movement’s most extreme weirdos

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens.

Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.

Would love to see this at a theater in New Albany, OH. No particular reason.

It rocks that this sort of thing is just playing with the sound on in every waiting room in the country once you get 50 miles outside a major city. Two people with stuffed animal eyes shaking their heads sadly over footage of the president being inconvenienced briefly.

KASH PATEL: you falsify that evidence with messages that are anti-ICE in nature yet?

LOW LEVEL FBI AGENT: sure did, boss. wrote the words "ANTI-ICE" on them nice and big, just like you asked

KASH PATEL: what

MARY JANE: sorry about your uncle dan

PETER PARKER: it’s ben

MARY JANE: 🎵one week since you looked at me

@meganpiont.bsky.social I've been calling around Ohio all week looking for a rapid response network and it would appear we don't have one. Would it still be helpful to make a zine or handout that details what and where to report ICE abuses but clearly outline this is not for rapid response?

the kimmel thing is bad but as long as they arent rounding people up indiscriminately based on race, building concentration camps and talking about eradicating those they deem sexual deviants, i think we’ll be ok

Call me radical, but I think we *don't* need to have polite chats with racists who are spewing conspiracy theories that keep motivating white supremacists to massacre our fellow citizens, and we *don't* need to have bipartisan deals with fascists trying to destroy our democracy and our government.

Have to imagine employment lawsuits are getting drafted by the thousands at this point. If you're fired for posting direct quotes of his or even for criticizing his views there's no way these companies can point to their HR manual and show that this violates social media or moral clauses.

We appease and empower stupid people. This is so pathetic. You not understanding science is why you are who you are and we are who we are. So stay over there away from the adults who are working to protect you from jamming your own fingers in a light socket

US President back-pedalling furiously after his administration treated some innocent hard-working Koreans like they were innocent hard-working Latinos.

The real issue isn’t left vs right.

It’s not white vs black.

It’s not citizen vs immigrant.

It’s not gay vs straight.

The real issue is that a lot of powerful people have a vested interest — and a lot of money invested — in dividing us, and it’s working.

Update: Civil War cancelled due to shooter being demographically uncooperative

There are very, VERY few people who are equipped to talk about this shooter correctly given the brainrot written on the shell casing. You have to understand so much of online culture to get it and also understand how that culture is both connected to and separate from real world ideological spaces

He's not going anywhere anytime soon.

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) on the shooting of Charlie Kirk:

"Political violence, unfortunately, has ramped up in this country ... I think there are people who are fomenting it in this country. I think the president's rhetoric often foments it."

Absolutely could see this. However, MAGA nuts running around with "I'm a pedophile" on their shirt won't calm the demand for the Epstein Files. It'll likely increase it.

what a humiliating way for don jr. to find out his dad sends birthday cards.

Why is Cam Newton on my TV dressed like he's about to announce a reward for information about the whereabouts of Robin Hood

Personally I'd add Beavers to that list. He should be their leadoff hitter next season.

We can't have nice things.

The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.
