A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.
We mustn’t let this war do so.
This is so cool! So happy for you @wilwheaton.net 😃
The top post on the NASCAR Memes subreddit right now:
per the story, the “Abolish ICE is bad” dude is also a “former Department of Homeland Security and Customs and Border Protection official”
After ICE agents shot people in Minneapolis tonight, a crowd faced them down and eventually chased them away, despite federal mercenaries and police shooting a tremendous amount of tear gas.
ICE agents abandoned vehicles in the area, containing IDs, paperwork, license plates, and operational plans.

Fantastic piece.
lotta bad stuff coming out of SCOTUS today but one of the worst: they denied cert in Little v. Llano County, which means that TX/LA/MS are now full-on censorship states.

It's no coincidence that the Department of Education removing many majors as being 'professional degrees' mostly affect fields dominated by women. Take another look at Project 2025. Women not getting federal funding for these degrees forces them out of the workforce - which is their ultimate aim.
Degrees no longer considered professional by the Department of Education, including teaching, nursing, social work, counseling, business, and engineering.
🧵 Let’s be so effing for real right now. The Department of Education saying these jobs are no longer PROFESSIONAL is dumb as hell and insulting as fuck. It takes YEARS of post-graduate training, including passing certifying exams, to earn degrees in these fields. #fdt #momsky
Once again I am asking people to understand that a university is not a debate club.
Turn every Target into affordable housing. I don't think they'll be needing those buildings much longer.
We gotta focus on political consequences at the moment, since we don’t hold the criminal consequences cards yet.
Let me be clear about what this case is & why its cover up is so disturbing. The President is engaged in a direct cover up of crimes.
What I take from his efforts is a desperate attempt to bend the law & the truth—even if that means turning on other members of his own party.
Release the files.
She followed+taunted David Hogg
School shooting
Survivor
Had a film crew+
Trolled him while he walked
To the Capitol
Yelled that he should admit
That the school shooting was fake
And that he was an actor
Told him she had a gun
Called him little Hitler
He was 19

As far as I’m concerned “the enrollment cliff is coming” translates to “WHERE ARE THE WHITE STUDENTS”
🤣 I thought the same.
Yeah, mmhmm. Go ahead and keep fucking working people over. I'm sure that'll work out well for your party's claim that you care about working people.
Our entire working life is an exercise of "Are you producing enough capital to justify keeping alive?"
It's dehumanizing, exhausting, and traps people in abusive employment situations
all my enemies are fucking morons, which really makes things feel so much worse
It is embarassing that only a news outlet from the UK has an accurate headline while our local papers keep saying "reports" without specifying a liar made that report.

"i asked grok" "i asked chatgpt" yeah well i asked carl sagan and he said the greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance but the illusion of knowledge 🧪
It's 20 years since @seanphillips.bsky.social and I exchanged a sketchbook back and forth in the mail, a drawn &painted call and response. INTERSECTIONS may be out of print but here is a flip through that sketchbook. You can still find the book out there :)
People: you know what not to do.
one thing that other candidates need to learn from mamdani is how to deliver the most cold blooded attacks on an opponent with a smile on your face
