The decision to repeatedly deploy 250+ cops armed with PAVA spray, tasers, batons, horses, and dogs to force through a group of 30-40 fascists against hundreds of counterprotestors has to be understood not just as the cops "protecting" the fash but actively behaving as their enforcers.

The military shot down flight 93 because it was going to hit the white house and made up the heroic passengers thing to cover it up

First of all… I would NEVER try to stop Hibari-kun

Always sad when students learn about the secret list of all their flaws we professors keep whenever we notice the inadequacies they're trying to hide. You want to shield them from that, you know? But, just like their deep seated failings, in the end it always comes out.

That happens in real life tho. People can think you’re being sarcastic if you say something “out of character.”

Today is Duodi the Second of Floréal in the year 234. Today is the day of the Oak Tree.

Little known fact: Ahmed Al Sharaa wants you to forget about the massacres of the Druze and Kurds and focus on how well he bounces a ball and hates Iran.

He is an American idol.

Supreme Court takes up Catholic objection to Colorado's preschool program The Archdiocese of Denver says church-run preschools should be eligible to participate in a state-funded program without having to abide by nondiscrimination rules.

Supreme Court takes up another religious rights case over Catholic objection to a Colorado preschool program's nondiscrimination provision:

Actually kind of incredible how far Starmer tries to stretch “i wasnt told“ as an excuse for all his failings. Why u governing like shit? I wasnt told how. Is America committing war crimes? Ive not been told. Are we at war with Iran? Ive not been told

I'm not reading the Palantir Manifesto for the same reason I wouldn't read the Nestle Bill of Rights.

I saw someone on here arguing the other day that you don’t own a book, you only own a license to the book and the book itself is a token of the license. I assure you, I own my books. I can lend them out. I can read them aloud to my child. I can sell them to other people. I can hit you with them

Watching Palantir do Sephiroth posting about multiculturalism and I would like to remind everyone that they were doing corporate fake woke shit just like every other company.

kinda feel like this pope is helping set a template of an image of progressive anti-fascism that doesn't extend to trans people - an opportunity for any time you point out that basically to make you be ostracized as a whiny outsider for a niche cause and a representative of Our Side Gone Too Far

Misusing your influence
Sometimes I did the same
Abusing my power, full of resentment
Resentment that turned into a deep depression

We get told power is being "abused", but first, power is just used--if ppl have the power to ethnically cleanse a continent (ICE) they might use it--and second, if power can be used in ways you don't want it to, constitutions and rights don't stop it and don't protect you.

I’ve had the same editor since 1967. Many times he has said to me over the years or asked me, Why would you use a semicolon instead of a colon? And many times over the years I have said to him things like: I will never speak to you again. Forever. Goodbye. That is it. Thank you very much. And I leave. Then I read the piece and I think of his suggestions. I send him a telegram that says, OK, so you’re right. So what? Don’t ever mention this to me again. If you do, I will never speak to you again

Families left reeling after hospitals in blue states drop transgender care for youth Massachusetts passed laws and joined lawsuits to protect access to gender-affirming care for minors. But faced with the Trump administration's threats, some hospitals voluntarily stopped care.

"It just felt like the floor had fallen out. Like all the support that I thought we had was gone. Maybe this is naive, but I didn't think that would happen in Massachusetts."

there is functionally a conspiracy to gaslight you into believing that, so it's understandable
www.npr.org/2026/04/17/n...

it sounds & is bad, but a more accurate heuristic than trusting what elites say about their commitment to trans lives is:

is there a risk that truly defending trans people could inconvenience a cis person or cost anyone money?

if so, they won't do it.

that will be right more often than promises.

parents and trans youth cannot be expected to know they are being lied to. your governor and attorney general and mayor all say they've got your back. your mainstream lgbtq orgs are silent. your cis friends repeat it to reassure you. the truth barely gets coverage, and rarely fully when it does.

In his “most notorious [job] interview,” Karp met Louis Mosley, an Oxford graduate whose grandfather Oswald Mosley was the British fascist leader during World War II and once named “worst Briton of the twentieth century.” As soon as Mosley sat down, Karp began reciting from memory, for several minutes, one of Oswald’s 1939 speeches demanding Britain seek peace with Nazi Germany. When finished, Karp executed tai chi moves and walked out without saying goodbye. Mosley sat stunned, convinced his family’s past had torpedoed him. Instead, he was hired and now runs Palantir’s UK business.

Crazy? Would a crazy guy do this?!?

By conceding that our ideas are repugnant and have to be hidden from a populace that has to be tricked into agreeing with us?
