The dildo store is racking up the wins!

bluesky: the headline

a whole lot of businesspeople learning in real time that a predictable and stable regulatory state - even if you don’t like some of the regulations - is vastly preferable to “boss man doesn’t like you so you’re fucked now”

So anyway I guess this is what it feels like to be one of the tiny humans running through the streets while the giant supervillain monsters are fighting by throwing passengers trains and apartment buildings at each other

ICE took their papers—and won’t give them back Immigrants are being released from detention without documents proving their status.

After a judge ordered Isabel be released from detention in MN with her belongings, ICE sent her home—but didn't return her work permit, ID, checks worth $700, or her daughter’s US passport.

Isabel is one of many now missing key immigration and identity documents

I mean, you’re not wrong! Shows my friends worked on for years were canceled and then used as tax write-offs.

Umm, near 20% of the world's most populous country go on strike and barely a word about it in the press?

It's time.

Colin, the comrade running the shelter-in-place food program I'm working at, told me that this week he's had to turn down asks from schools to supply food directly to their sheltering families. The reason? There's not enough money coming in for that amount of food.

Let's change that.

I have really come to dread Friday nights

that’s when the Trump administration always tries to slide their most illegal shit under the radar when they think no one is watching and they can get away with it

Two women convicted of stalking ICE agent during Los Angeles immigration protests Two protesters were convicted of stalking a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent in a case that could test the limits of furious protests against the Trump administration's immigration raids...

In a very important case in LA, Bill Essayli managed to convict 2 women on stalking, but not conspiracy to dox, charges, with a third entirely acquitted.

It's the first guilty verdict in any case against protestors Essayli has brought to trial, but ...

The Trump Admin Arrested an Antifascist for Shit-Talking a Fascist A supposed ‘antifa domestic terrorist’ was arrested for ‘cyberstalking’ a controversial right-wing agitator who showed up at a reporter’s home to threaten him.

But the stalking conviction is problematic; DOJ has charged stalking in an even more problematic case where this guy was charged with stalking a rabid Trump troll.

love to bomb iran just for the hell of it and claim it was “preventative” and then rip the air raid sirens in anticipation of a response which we will act as if it came out of nowhere and is the most egregious act of spontaneous violence to ever happen

How America Chose Not to Hold the Powerful to Account Our national project of elite impunity

After the arrests of powerful men across the world, you might be asking why the US has so much trouble holding its leaders accountable for lawbreaking. Since Nixon, all three branches of government have worked hard to ensure they can break the law with impunity www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

I think the thing that offends me most about this regime is how obvious they are about how unimportant our consent to government is to anything they do

A male friend chastised me today after I told him I am pursuing taking my maiden name back. He told me not to submit to news-driven hysteria - my voting rights were secure, and I need to go out and touch grass.

All I could think was women have different takeaways from The Handmaid's Tale.

And it has happened: Hegseth and Trump declare Anthropic a supply chain risk.

Every company that has government contracts will be barred from using Claude code.

It is an attempt to outright destroy the company because they did not consent to mass surveillance of Americans and AI kill bots.

Wow.

QUITE LITERALLY if they had spent, like, fifteen minutes creating a script IN SPANISH and forgone the AI Agent entirely, this NEVER would have happened. JAWS would have read the script perfectly in totally understandable and accurate Spanish and this wouldn't be a story.

In my utopian vision of the future, instead of offloading all the pointless, annoying work tasks (like reports that none one will read and needlessly opaque forms) to robots, we restructure work and society so that the pointless tasks don't happen at all.

"But chiropractic and homeopathy can be cheaper"

Yes that's correct, sugar pills and magic tricks are indeed cheaper than actual healthcare.

I Have Tourette Syndrome and I Have the N-Word Thrown at Me. I Have Thoughts on BAFTA. As New York City Public Advocate, I’m in a very visible space with a very visible disability. Here's what I've learned.

This is a good read. I'm also thinking about how almost all disability organizations, including ones for Tourette's, have very white leadership, which means many fail to approach situations like this with intersectional nuance. www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/politic...

I want to be clear on this chain of events.

Trump admin: "we want to use anthropic ai models for autonomous weapons and surveillance"

Anthropic: "no."

Trump admin: "Stop trying to control us with your woke ideology!!!!!"

Uncle gets nose, nation stunned

Just out in the open and people still pretend we have a federal government. Lol
