These people need to be in a jail and locked away from civil society!

some people's hate is an addiction they need to break. they'd get a lot more out of life.

As an internet culture journalist, I think it’s important for me to continue to observe the depravity that goes viral on X, but one of the reasons I’m glad I stopped posting there is because I think it helps me avoid normalizing the rhetoric celebrating the political brutality in America right now

He’s foaming at the mouth to go full Gestapo.

None of it was in pursuit of justice, but all of it was in pursuit of social media videos.

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

“A media empire is being built that could decide what you get to see and what you don’t.”

@premthakker.bsky.social breaks down the MAGA media empire being built in plain sight and how billionaire Republicans are trying to push for more pro-Israel media.

Are yall ever just sitting around and out of the blue you remember — again — that all of this is because of ONE Black President?!!

Just the one!!

the people who told us to calm down because Roe was settled law are the same people now telling us to calm down because the military would never open fire on Americans

A federal judge has blocked Donald Trump’s administration from deploying the National Guard in Portland.

‘The Life Of A Showgirl’ by Taylor Swift sold 2.7 MILLION copies in its first day in the US.

Trump has not been seen in public since Tuesday and has no public events on his calendar today

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

I'm sorry but this actually made me laugh. Honestly, once someone says, "I actually do not care, please leave." Then what?

reminder that the initial “posters strike” was about how bsky was letting people name themselves @niggers.bsky.social

Apparently there's a lot of drama going on here on Bluesky and people are leaving?? I don't understand everything that happened but it must have been bad if people are deciding to leave.

The top 1% in the US have now a record $52 trillion in wealth.

Are we great yet?

1/5 Elon Musk and David Sacks are attacking Wikipedia again.

They say they will replace it with “Grokipedia.”

Why? Because quick, free, independent fact-checking is their enemy.

They cannot control it. And that terrifies them

Let's be clear a what's happening here: the "censorship" and "bias" narrative is being extended to Wikipedia bc the far right knows that getting bullshit into LLMs is how to shape reality as "answer engines" replace search engines.

Wikipedia is core to that fight so the grievance blitz is here.

Priorities.

So in order to "create Grokipedia" I assume Musk will have his AI trashbot scrape Wikipedia itself, apply a "make this racist and sexist and all-around hateful" filter, and then serve it back to users. Should be really useful!

Donating to NPR to support my local WABE radio station is one of the easiest decisions I make every year. The added value public radio brings to communities cannot be overstated. Transparent independent reporting is so vital especially in the current climate.
