‘We were terrified they were going to kill us’: fishers who survived US boat strike speak out An Ecuadorian fishing crew describe their ordeal as victims of Trump’s purported war on ‘narcoterrorists’

“The US has provided no evidence that any of the vessels were involved in drug trafficking, and legal experts and rights groups say the attacks amount to extrajudicial killings as they apparently target civilians who do not pose any immediate threat.”

We fucking warned y’all that this was the goddamned end goal for those smart glasses.

She raised concerns about her company's contracts with ICE. Then she lost her job Billie Little had worked for Thomson Reuters for about two decades. She was fired after questioning whether federal immigration agents unlawfully used their products.

tRump's ICE is ramping up mass surveillance & raids, even snaring U.S. citizens while firing whistleblowers who dare question shady data deals with Thomson Reuters. This cruel overreach isn't "enforcement"—it's authoritarian chaos. We won't stand for it.

Anti-trans voices are becoming ever louder and are threatening feminist solidarity.

How can we strengthen feminist & queer solidarity & create a vibrant & inclusive feminist movement?

This conversation with @uglastefania.bsky.social from @transisland.is & others is still very relevant

i would join this cult

just imaging you go to grap it and the vendor slaps your hand and says, "nach yo hat!"

it's as much on the parties for losing any semblance of disguising we live in a duopoly and both parties are corrupted by billionaires

just admit you're a fascist, and you only have a problem when team red wins because of their sales pitch

From a different social media platform:

Stonewall quietly changed its definition of transphobia last year to help allow the government to pursue its Wraparound Conversion Therapy policy.

The reason Dugdale has been appointed is to launder its *faux* Conversion Therapy ban.

Quislings…?

Putin’s megaphone: Orbán’s far-right push into UK universities is fuelled by Russian oil Good Law Project has uncovered a network funded by Hungary’s authoritarian leader Viktor Orbán, that uses profits from refining Russian oil to platform far right and anti-trans campaigners in the UK

“Good Law Project can reveal that the Roger Scruton Legacy Foundation (RSLF) has received…more than 90% of its funding – from Mathias Corvinus Collegium (MCC) since 2023. This private college based in Budapest has close ties to Hungary’s [former] …prime minister, Viktor Orbán.”

The Mask is Off: Major Anti-Abortion Group Calls for Arrest of Abortion Patients Students for Life says it should be "an easy vote"

It was only a matter of time: the powerful anti-abortion org Students for Life has endorsed legislation to imprison abortion patients.

Amazon Levi's and Walmart Agreed on Increased Retail pricing for Khaki Pants Amazon sent Levi’s links to Khaki pants that were priced lower on Walmart.com [$25.47 to $26.99], saying it “hop[ed] these can get resolved over the next few days.” The next day, Levi’s reported that “I talked to Walmart and they have partnered with us to … take Easy Khaki Classic fit back up to…$29.99 immediately” and provided links to show the increased Walmart price. Amazon acknowledged that Walmart raised its price and confirmed it had matched that higher price: “the updated pricing of $29.99 is now showing up on [Amazon].”

Amazon, Hanes, and Target Worked to Raise the Price of Apparel: Amazon sent Hanes links to Target.com and Walmart.com showing lower prices than were on Amazon, and Hanes confirmed that it “reached out to Target and Walmart to have the prices increased.”

Amazon, Agrothrive, and Home Depot Worked to Raise the Price of Plant Fertilizer: Amazon complained to vendor Agrothrive about lower prices for Agrothrive’s products at Home Depot, to which Agrothrive responded: “Yes, just got out of a meeting with the Home Depot manager and she has agreed to raise the prices this time.”

Amazon, GlobalOne, and Chewy Agreed on Increased Retail Prices for Pet Treats: The plan was written in an email between Amazon and its vendor, GlobalOne. For its part, Amazon would raise GlobalOne’s Canine Naturals pet treat prices to get Chewy to follow, then GlobalOne would “reach out to Chewy” to let them know that Amazon was increasing the pricing and “would ask that [Chewy] follow.” In other words, if Chewy agreed, Amazon would increase its retail pricing for the Canine Naturals pet treats and Chewy would match the price increase. The plan materialized. Amazon told GlobalOne that the pricematch override was in place, and to “let Chewy know to update [pricing] immediately.” That same day, GlobalOne confirmed the “ones that went up on Amazon immediately went up on Chewy [happy face emoji] … Overall this looks like it’s working!” The result of Amazon, Chewy and GlobalOne’s price fixing agreement was to increase the retail prices of over ten Canine Naturals pet treat products on Amazon and Chewy.

We’re sharing new evidence in our case against Amazon clearly showing the megacorporation is involved in price fixing.

It’s clear as day: Amazon is colluding with vendors and other retailers to make your life more unaffordable.

We’ll see them in court.

i'm talking about more recent events, like newsom's statements and agreeing with transphobes on the right and third way candidates/reps pushing trans issues as the reason or part of the reason dems are unpopular--i also follow uk politics and it's more apparent/flagrant in libs there

he looks miserable

speaking of baby brained.....

Universities set to be fined up to £500,000 for failing to protect free speech The Office for Students (OfS) will oversee scheme, which will launch in time for the upcoming academic year

Ideas of “free speech” cannot be divorced from social reality. Right now, those who vocally defend the rights of trans folk, migrants, Palestinians, etc are punished while those who contest the rights of minoritised groups are protected. That’s not encouraging free speech — it’s cultivating fascism.

Gil Duran tweet: TLDR: Fascism in response to Palantir's long fascists screed on X.

"Your Account is Suspended" Message on X

The CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X.

I pointed out that it was fascist—which resulted in a permanent suspension from X (my second time!).

So, when you hear the tweeters complaining that BlueSky is intolerant, remember why many of us came here in the first place.

A new TikTok AI toggle is causing panic among creators TikTok creators say a new AI remix setting is enabled on videos by default, forcing users to manually review and change permissions.

Larry Ellison’s TikTok forcing “AI Remixing” onto their entire user base without their knowledge or consent is a really great microcosm of what US tech overlordship looks like — and why the backlash against this technology is only growing.

chris christie ran in the last primaries on keeping government out of trans bathrooms and medical care--it's like the normie standard and libs continually want to move right on it and i'm guessing they want the digital surveillance that comes along with enforcement because nothing else makes sense
