Jaron Lanier said that social media is "continuous behavior modification on a titanic scale," designed to make money by favouring negative emotional content to maximize engagement. Ergo a left social media community will go just as insane as a right one.
Horrifying. Jesus Lord in heaven.
Aliya Rahman, woman who was dragged out of car by ICE in Minneapolis: "I've spent the last month learning the names of the tendons in my shoulder, because both of my shoulders are torn -- cartilage and tendons. But what I haven't learned is the names of the people who did this to me."
We’re getting a blizzard warning just as the snow was starting to go away
My universe revolves around you. Happy Valentine’s Day, Gabby.
Trump justifies his brutal immigration tactics by painting illegal immigrants as criminals. But in reality, they commit fewer crimes than native-born Americans.
My @morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social Chart
there’s been an assumption that when Dems take power again they will keep ICE funded at these ridiculous levels forever and they are now on record voting to end that
they’ll need to go much further than that but it’s a start - and I sure don’t see the politics of ICE improving between now and then
Carney: "American hegemony in particular helped provide public goods, a stable financial system... this bargain no longer works. Let me be direct. We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition... recently, great powers have begun using economic integration as a weapon. Tariffs as leverage ... "
This is the guy who accidentally let slip he pretends to be a tradwife online, presumably on another account
I can't believe I'm posting this video - but we actually have to have a conversation about the real world implications of America going to war over Greenland.
Let me walk you through it. It doesn't turn out well for us.
Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "We owe it to this woman, to her family, and to the American public to ensure that an investigation does occur and follows all the available evidence to its logical conclusion."
Screenshot of a post by Tulsi Gabbard on X dated January 24, 2019. The post states that the United States should stay out of Venezuela and allow the Venezuelan people to determine their own future, arguing that the U.S. should not choose other countries’ leaders. The image shows text only, along with Gabbard’s profile photo and verification badge.
Paging Tulsi Gabbard circa 2019.
How many people must suffer and die because Trump is all over the Epstein files?
Merry Christmas, from our family to yours!

We went all out to let our kids know that Santa swung by 🎅 Merry Christmas, folks!
Perhaps I can help this research effort.
1. Origins of TDS lie in revulsion at a dangerous bigot coming to power.
2. Manifestations of TDS include joining others to resist Trump’s authoritarian efforts.
3. Effects of TDS are an enlivening of the intellect snd a sharpening of the conscience.
Screenshot of a post on X (Twitter) by Michael M. Grynbaum (@grynbaum). The text reads: “Here is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her ‘60 Minutes’ colleagues in full:” with the X.com branding visible in the corner and a small profile photo of the author.
Screenshot of the beginning of an email on a white background addressed to “News Team,”. The email apologizes for not reaching out earlier and states that the writer learned Bari Weiss spiked the story “INSIDE CECOT,” which was supposed to air that night. It says the story was screened five times and cleared by CBS attorneys and Standards and Practices, calls it factually correct, and argues that pulling it is a political rather than editorial decision.
Screenshot of the middle portion of the email. It states that requests for responses or interviews were made to DHS, the White House, and the State Department, and that government silence should not function as a veto. It warns that allowing refusal to participate to spike stories gives the government a “kill switch” over reporting and would turn 60 Minutes from an investigative program into a “stenographer for the state.”
Screenshot of the concluding portion of the email. It emphasizes a moral and professional obligation to sources who risked their lives, references CBS spiking the Jeffrey Wigand interview and the damage to credibility, and warns that failing to air the story after promoting it will be seen as corporate censorship. The email ends by stating concern for the future of the broadcast and is signed “Sharyn.”
CBS under Bari Weiss is bowing to Trump.
Apparently if you think social media companies should ban trolls and engage in conduct moderation, you’re pining for the return of the Red Scare
Leavitt lies: "Every economic metric does in fact show that the economy is improving"

🚨BREAKING: Donald Trump has formally pardoned former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández, who was convicted last year for trafficking massive quantities of cocaine into the United States and sentenced to 45 years in prison.
6 years today the first COVID case was identified in a man in Wuhan marking the beginning of a global pandemic that changed the world. We are way less prepared today to face another pandemic than we were back then. This fact makes me sad.
There is no bottom for Trump. Or, it seems, for those who still support him.
May your blessings be more than your problems today. Happy Thanksgiving.
Funny thing, most of us on the left have been saying this for years 🤣
