This is truly heartbreaking. Dolly Parton was an extraordinary person and an irreplaceable champion of the working class. We are a better country because of her.

In a country so deeply divided, isn't it nice to have something we can ALL agree on? #ReleaseTheFiles-BeginTheTrials ⚖️

Make illegal now thank you

Bluesky should go back to invites, continue aggressive bot bans, create a Craigslist-style marketplace (since you’re more likely to buy/get services from a educated or good person on here than any other social network), and market this place like a walled garden protected from enshittification.

Absolutely insane that Cape Verde — a country of 500,000 — played Spain, Uruguay and Argentina…and lost to none of them in regulation. Easily one of the greatest performances in World Cup history.

Francis Towne (British 1739-1816) “Ambleside” (1786) Watercolour Pen & ink over graphite on laid paper. Francis Towne was a British watercolour painter of landscapes.

Coming from the most corrupt Administration in American history, this is an honor I'll treasure forever.

Good news — CalPrivacy‑sponsored bill SB 923, the Expanding Privacy Rights Act by @SenJoshBecker, has passed out of CA Senate Appropriations! It now heads to the Senate floor. It would strengthen consumer privacy by expanding the CCPA’s deletion rights. leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNa...

Deep Space Nine art by Kristele Pelland. [1/2] This would be the perfect style for a DS9 animated show or film, IMO!

Now that CNN and WBD are set to become state media in a sale to Paramount/Oracle/TikTok, it is especially important to support independent media. Off the top of my head: www.thehandbasket.co 404media.co www.garbageday.email Add your favorites in the replies. Fuck state-backed media monopolies.

NEW: A hobbyist has created Nearby Glasses, an app that warns you if someone close by is wearing smart glasses. 404 Media spoke to the creator who said he was inspired by our coverage that uncovers how men are wearing Meta's Ray-Bans to covertly film massage parlor workers.

The average household lost more than $1,000 to Trump's tariffs. Now the Court has spoken: this was unlawful all along. The President owes you an apology - and a refund.

200,000+ Californians have used DROP to delete their personal information from data brokers a meaningful step in taking control of privacy. Privacy works when people use it. 🔐 privacy.ca.gov/DROP

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives. We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

Very pleased that DROP has been officially announced! www.gov.ca.gov/2026/01/20/g...

Civil liberties are under attack in the USA like never before. It’s scary, it’s real — and that’s why I hope to raise $100,000 this week to empower the American Civil Liberties Union (@aclu.org). But I’ll need your help. 🧵

Donald Trump is breaching the Constitution and breaking the law. A show of force so he can militarize our cities because of the 2026 elections. We need to stand up together and speak up.

It seems clear—I think to everyone, now—that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.

I can’t not believe how hard it is to sleep when you’re watching your country, be dismantled by the dumbest people.

We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe. signal.org/blog/pdfs/ge...

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens. Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.
