I just donated to SPLC because the work it does makes the world a safer and more just place. Please do the same if able.

NAPOLEON (returning from the dead after 200 years): You can prevent soldiers from getting WHAT????????????????
I want to put something in perspective for you all. I'm an American, born and raised. There are some states in this "free" country where I just can't go. If I do, I could be charged with a crime for the simple act of using the bathroom. Driving a car or, in some cases, being seen in public.
What the fuck
Record profits are unpaid wages and unpaid taxes.
Cenk’s smart enough to know that “Patriots versus Israelis” is just Die Volk versus Die Juden rephrased and that makes doing it unforgivable. It’s a play for the Fuentes set, and that he feels the need to go after that group to make money and gain followers should tell you something’s rotten.
One of the few great things about DFW

Linda Yaccarino replies to a Zohran Mamdani tweet to say that taxing rich people's penthouses is "actually one of the scariest things I have ever seen"
Zohran Mamdani said he's going to start taxing rich people who buy luxury housing in NYC but don't actually live in there, and the former CEO of Twitter/X called it "actually one of the scariest things I have ever seen."
It’s been overshadowed by Venezuela and especially Iran, but the deadly boat bombing campaign is still going, even though:
-There’s no war
-The US wasn’t attacked or under threat
-Drug traffickers aren’t terrorists
-These may not be traffickers
-It’s blatantly illegal
-With no clear strategy either
the fact that legislators are trying to say that computers are devices that require id verification and tracking to use should put fear into EVERYONE. FIGHT AGAINST THIS.
The thing about AI replacing analysts that I think is implicit to a lot of people who understand AI, but not at all clear to the people doing layoffs is this: adversaries use AI for automation and as a force multiplier too. Humans are the deciding difference in who wins, beyond equal automation.
More murder. Still no evidence ... just "trust me bro."
An administration that lies as much as this one does not deserve the benefit of the doubt.
This is the way.
People say we can't compare this to the Third Reich because of the atrocities but we only found out about the atrocities after the fact when it was all said and done and we're not done with this yet so I am sure the worst stomach churning shit has yet to be revealed.
The thing where voters don't believe republican policies could be as evil as they are apparently extends to the republicans actually in charge of the government just mindlessly implementing them
The same week the NYTimes was devoting its significant resources to producing this ridiculous piece about Lauren Sanchez Bezos's call for rich people to not worry and be happy, Ryan Hass, an independent journalist in Oregon, was investigating this horrifying story about a death in an Amazon plant.

“The threat was overcome after 16 years with massive concerted effort, therefore there was never a threat” is just bizarre logic.
Def not
A photo from behind the scenes on filming Revenge of the Sith. Against a bluescreen backdrop, George Lucas snarls and raises his hands to the sky, as Ian McDiarmid in full costume as Palpatine, does similarly in the background.
can't believe we're really getting the taxation of trade routes being in dispute *and* a blockade of deadly battleships
Idiocracy but make it more stupid
I'm one of those trans women. I worked ground ops for Artemis I.
I am torn between celebrating the success of my friends and peers and grieving how my dream of working for NASA was shattered by hateful assholes in Tallahassee
I’m very proud of my wife for sharing the details she did. I’m disgusted by all of it. She found herself in one of those moments where she didn’t care what she lost if it helped one other person. The reality is the truth don’t care who tells it, but she told it. Love you @allysammarco.bsky.social
A thought here: whisper networks exist because people need to be kept safe, but without enough corroboration to take an allegation to print, anybody saying this stuff in the open could catch a libel suit.
People are saying what they know, at last, because this is the first day that’s been safe.
I think a lot of people here are way underestimating how difficult it is to break a sexual abuse story *even when everybody kind of knows it* unless you can get victims on record. it is very, very hard.
oh my god is she on cameo
