1. The central claim in the indictment of SPLC is a lie.
The DOJ/FBI accuse SPLC of lying to donors about seeking to “dismantle” extremist groups while secretly funding them. But the funds were used to infiltrate & help law enforcement dismantle these groups. Kash Patel knows this is the truth…
Sincerely, someone who is at all times overtly opposed to the soul of America bc he still has old timey coal investments
People keep comparing Manchin to Fetterman but there's a big difference. As soon as Fetterman stroked out and lurched right progressives stopped supporting him. Centrists, meanwhile, insisted that we needed to play ball with Manchin for like 15 years
Hey all, it’s publishing day for my book “How to Sell a Genocide,” which is a data-driven account of centrist and liberal media’s role in creating the conditions of mass death in Gaza. 100% of royalties go to @mecaforpeace.bsky.social.

This connected with me and to another term I learned recently, Moral Injury. www.theguardian.com/global/2026/...
Very good: “This confederacy of goons think that their wealth and whiteness and maleness conveys automatic competence, so they never bothered to learn anything about anything, and they fired everyone who knew anything about anything, and dismantled all the programs that helped make anything work ….”
Your regular reminder that cops don't actually justify their existence or enormous budgets by solving much crime.
Approximately 11% of all serious crimes result in an arrest, and about 2% end in a conviction.
And then there's this...
everyone isnt going to entirely get that theyre literally doing the comic books on screen and the way they interconnect and overlap has been driving that kind of storytelling for decades, thats what made the MCU special to people
i mean i do also, i liked the MCU bc i read the comics my whole life and knew all the stories & characters it was based on, I still have the Infinity Gauntlet tpb from when I was 12, but even with all the big successful adaptations comic books are still kind of a niche
like i thought Thunderbolts was a good MCU movie but it relied on The Most combined knowledge of previous films and shows and didnt do as well as it should have, which might be true to comics but its A Lot
that can be true but theyre not all winners (like comic runs) and its also a whole lot of runtime to expect people to absorb between films to understand subplots and things, so i mean I get it, but i dont think the quoted post is quite the same thing as that.
it seems like the whole point is that theyre cutting out all of the homework and saying if you saw the last Avengers movie like everyone else did thats probably enough, and thats an excuse for another theatrical run of their most successful film
and at the time that Endgame was setting records no one was complaining about "homework" bc they needed to have seen other MCU movies to have the emotional investment in it, the payoff was the whole point. this is just reminding people that the upcoming movie functions as a sequel to that
tbf watching one (1) of the most watched movies in modern cinema history, now 7 years old, isnt exactly like being expected to have seen multiple just aired Disney Plus streaming shows in their entirety.
6.7M totally real reviews, none of which were produced by ChatGPT
lets make AI more like the least desirable human minds on the planet, so that a robot can micromanage a company and, absolute best case scenario, produce more ideas like the Metaverse, but on a regular day, normalize global fascism for profit
this is how you get closer to Skynet, you code machine learning to be more like the guy who made his platform more efficient for organizing genocides bc its profitable and the guy who sold the most important breaking news resource to an overt neo-Nazi
the literal last thing anyone needs AI for, to reproduce toxic narcissists that already exist
Defund the hostile domestic troops who wage war against the civilian population of the United States.
This is the money that four Big Tech companies -- Paramount, ABC, Meta and X -- paid out in settlements to Trump last year, after he sued them for various things.
Trump dissolved his library fund in Dec, and Dems say none of these companies can or will say where the money went.
Tens of millions of dollars in settlements that were supposed to go toward Trump's presidential library fund are now apparently missing.
"Deeply troubling," Dems wrote to Trump. "Particularly given the vast tide of corruption" that's happened during this admin. www.huffpost.com/entry/latest...
the vast tide of corruption should itself be troubling, not least of which bc it is all blatantly illegal based on laws that already exist
land in the middle of a huge battle? Time for the mask to dematerialize so RDJ and Tom Holland can say one line. Its not as if they didnt already solve this with 'in-helmet cameras' in the Iron Man movies
It should be enough for actors to perform the alter egos of superheroes, some mocap, and voice acting, but the MCU insists on showing their entire face like 10x in the middle of combat & shit and i hate it
It’s a huge problem that voters think the Democratic Party doesn’t stand for anything, but it’s almost worst that the Party Leadership has decided to make the *one thing* they keep publicly going to bat for over and again be something that’s thermonuclear levels of unpopular with their own base.
A lot of people are still in the denial about how much the median Democratic voter, the median Democratic volunteer, and the median Democratic activist has shifted on a variety of issues. Well here's the handpicked candidate of Chuck Schumer being booed, about Gaza, at the Dem convention.
Gaza genocide, the broligarchy, corruption, ICE, forever wars..
The DNC's leaders and donors will not change or adapt, folks. They're not made for this moment. They are too ideologically committed to restoring the old ways.
They must be culled and replaced with better leaders.
the most significant of them was the last Democratic president
Israeli forces have destroyed over 1,000 homes daily since March 2, according to Lebanon’s scientific research council.
this really is just centrist think tanks coming up with inconsequential things to be mad at (which is reactionary behavior) and telling Democrats they should be performatively mad about it. when some Democrat says it thats the first time like 99% of people will have ever heard it
