Watching these Grammys, you have to wonder if perhaps the Silicon Valley bros made a classic VC mistake and went all-in on reactionary politics right before the bottom dropped out.

It's pretty amazing to me the amount of shit that apparently you can Just Do as an NYC mayor. It makes basically every other American politician look like an incompetent loser.

What do you mean there was just a button that reversed wage theft? Why wasn't and isn't everyone hitting it all the time??

The problem is that elections rarely change the office over the long-term; they quickly return to the mean. (Hence why I take a defund/ remove powers/ abolish approach)

When I saw that Animaniacs clip I thought it was going to be about all the coups the US staged or something and then he started talking about Optimus Prime and Wolverine like oh my god dude are you serious lol

Kidnapping people to another state without any process and then just leaving them to find their way home

people say there's no evidence that AI has actually found widespread adoption among devs because there's been no boom in apps being developed.

From Powerlessness to Power We will not achieve any of our ultimate goals without exercising state power, and the most effective way to take state power is through nonviolent but confrontational resistance.

"We must ready ourselves for more extreme measures. They may attempt to physically block us from voting. We will stop them. In extremis they may try to destroy ballots. We must be ready, with citizens actively following federal agents and monitoring election facilities.”

Press statement From Islip Forward: At approximately 9:30 a.m. this morning, federal agents were documented using infrastructure located on the property of the Central Islip Fire Department Station 2, at 110 Wheeler Road-without prior authorization to be on or use that space. When a volunteer with Islip Forward approached to document the activity, federal agents threatened the volunteer with arrest for alleged trespassing, despite the agents themselves operating in an area where no prior permission had been granted. Immediately following this interaction, the Central Islip Fire Department took swift action to protect its property and the public. Temporary restrictions were implemented, including closing the gate to the area being used and preventing external access. The use of municipal fire department property for federal enforcement activity—without authorization-and the subsequent threat directed at a community volunteer raise serious concerns about transparency, overreach, and respect for local institutions. We are deeply grateful to the volunteer firefighters of the Central Islip Fire Department for their decisive and responsible response.

ICE was stealing equipment from the Islip Long Island fire department and a Islip Forward member documented it. ICE tried to arrest the community member but the firemen said “I don’t think so” www.islipforward.org

1) the source of discontent with SCOTUS is not the leaks per se but the substance of recent rulings

And

2) the fewer & less people know about the Court’s rulings the less the public can disagree with them

DOJ Released Unredacted Nude Images in Epstein Files A note from investigators in the files said some images Epstein had were "POSSIBLE CSAM."

no better summation of America's unrepentant rape culture than that one of the biggest stories of the last decade is about the abuse of women and girls and every single stakeholder working on it couldn't give less of a shit about the actual victims of the story

You're not broken - the job market is. : It's Been a Minute Job seekers are sending out hundreds of applications. Here’s why they’re not hearing back.The unemployment rate has been climbing over the past few years, but historically, it isn’t that high… Even so, some people have been talking about having a really, really rough time finding work.

Where are ICE and Border Patrol agents coming from? The duty stations of nearly every ICE and CBP officer is redacted in OPM data.

I was curious where ICE and CBP agents in Minnesota were deploying from, so I looked at OPM data. What I found is that their duty stations are almost universally redacted from the public data. www.pbump.net/o/where-are-...

“we’re releasing a PDF of the zine for FREE to everyone, because we think the information contained within it is important & should be shared as widely as possible. We’ve also paid to have the zine translated into Spanish by human translators, tks in part to a donation from one of our subscribers.”

I can smell the fear from here. They're starting to realize that their party is calling up something it cannot put down, and it will fall on *all* of their heads.

“It may seem confused or confusing to say that two non-white men enforced white supremacy by murdering a white person. But whiteness itself is confused and confusing. It’s not an existential truth; it’s a way to organize violence, hierarchy, and hate.”

“…it’s also important to remember that, just as people can choose whiteness, they can also choose to oppose whiteness.”

if you think their business model is based on finding lost puppies, boy do I have an authoritarian military industrial state apparatus to upsell you
