Today I woke up and did some foods then looked at my feed before I read the news from my usual sites. News order in my mind today -Serbia protest movement is something I don’t know enough about -RIP Walter Koenig -Lula held off the Jair sperm Usually I start with local news and move outward

So shocking misogynistic assholes are misogynists who coulda fucking guessed, oh yeah anyone who can recognize the reality that trans women are women, and we are a more socially acceptable woman to punch down on including by other women. Its demeaning women as inherently weak after all.

The entertainment giant hopes to get trust and safety tech, among other IP, from a startup whose chatbots dozens of states allege encouraged minors to self-harm and kill their parents.

NEW: Ingram, Texas, was just rebuilding from a devastating flood when its tiny police department enrolled in ICE’s 287(g) deportation program. Within a year, cops would hand over the equivalent of 10% of the town. with @nytimes.com

Sports are a foot in the door, intentionally so by the anti-trans organizations that push it. They know that if they can get you to accept an asterisk on who we are in one arena, they can get you to accept it everywhere.

People will blame every nation but the one that is responsible. The USA made Trump because that's what the USA does, they produce selfish, violent, bigoted, greedy people and when those people become President, they let those home grown traits show.

Sickness as a moral failing. We are adding some Outer Worlds flavor to our fascism apparently?

also a good reminder that no law can give you freedom, they can only take it away

Finns, go Winter War on these fucks, please. Snipe from the snow, sneak explosives in with food deliveries, drag their managerial and executive class into the snow and lose them

"But Democrats are better. They're the lesser evil!" How? Everything Republicans do, Democrats do to. Record deportations under the last three Dem presidents, record anti-trans bills under Biden. How are they the lesser evil? "They won't kill you as fast?" So you don't value life. Fuck off.

The issue that matters most.

In case anyone else particularly enjoys camping shoulder seasons and is looking for vegan camping food, freeze dried refried beans and rice with imitation bacon bits is very good. Also the peak refuel dal is incredible (I normally add tvp), and lmnt chocolate is shockingly good in oatmeal.

@besttrousers.bsky.social give me 30k you arrogant piece of shit. It won’t be life changing so just give it to me fucker

Wow they’re just openly using them as surveillance devices now b

Obama deported more immigrants than W. Bush, and Biden deported more than Trump's first term. The bans on trans healthcare and bathrooms and shit happened under a Democrat president, not a Republican. Trump ramping up the bipartisan agenda doesn't mean Democrats are somehow better.

I'm gonna have to disagree. If the last three Democratic presidencies are anything to go by, the Democrat that wins in 2028 is going to ramp shit up to prove they're willing to "compromise" with their fellow fascists.

NEW: After wildfires scarred the Sacramento Mountains above Ruidoso, New Mexico, the community was under heightened threat of catastrophic flooding. Officials were aware but continued to promote the town to tourists who were oblivious to the danger.

"Today, Google's function is to plunder all the works on the internet and chop them up and arrange them in an unimaginably vast, multidimensional array for the explicit purpose of preventing audiences from connecting with those works."

"'They told me they are getting to keep me in prison forever,' the retired Anglican priest [Rev. Edward Nalwamba] said. 'So, I was ready for whatever.'"

Just dropping this here, cause its good & relevant to the current discourse. Really grateful to @vickyacab.bsky.social for this one, while the US isn't my context or where I live, the arguments contained are broadly applicable.

NEW: The Trump administration committed the U.S. to taking a large stake in a Venezuelan company, some of whose owners and investors are shielded from public view. The exact details of the agreement over oil fields had remained unclear — until now.

Defund was always the compromise because centrists balked at "abolish". No more compromises because thet sure as fuck aren't willing to.

In the USA, shoplifting allegations are punishable by the murder of any infant near you.

the only way to save humanity is for nazis to be fully eradicated and that's just all there is to it

Finally we're fighting back! This ad goes so fucking hard youtu.be/Gt_IZoM9KuQ?...

Key findings: this is what @lucympowell.bsky.social is doing to trans children. She is a bully who is deliberately and needlessly harming CHILDREN. She should be removed, she is unfit to be Education Secretary or to work with any children.

Ysabel Yates'... I mean Cookie Monster's superb takedown of why GenAI in the workplace sucks.

In the past 48 hours, Israeli terrorist settlers: — Nearly kill Palestinian-American man on his own olive grove — Nearly kill Jewish American journalist; the "IDF" responds by shooting a Palestinian man & threatening his medics — Attack diplomats from France, Belgium and Poland

"Anyone who is concerned about Flock safety and license plate readers should be equally concerned with Axon and Fusus." "The software's distinction is its ability to integrate privately owned cameras from individuals, organizations, and businesses." #USA #AI #Surveillance #Technology #Policing

The question "Is this condition overdiagnosed" is actually asking "Have we found an exceptional case of a medical issue where healthcare is too easy to get?" and the answer to that is always no. There has never, at any point, been a situation where it was too easy to get healthcare.

The headquarters of the mobile gendarmerie in Brest, France was burglarized in the middle of last night. Five people "reportedly made off with canisters of tear gas, shields, protective helmets, and a battering ram." www.ouest-france.fr/societe/fait...

Our own fault

NEW: ICE is trying to deport a mother of 4 while her husband is at Fort Benning in Army basic training. When she went to pick up the family's military IDs, Navy personnel turned her over to ICE. She's been in the US since age six. With @nancyayoussef.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

No matter where you shop, you're getting screwed by Amazon. Amazon has found a way to make everything you buy - at Target, at a mom-and-pop shop, even direct from the manufacturer - more expensive. And they're not the only one: Expedia's done the same thing, but for hotel rooms.

The "is AI slavery" discourse is exactly what the tech bros want. It doesn't end with fancy autocompletes having human rights. Its logic ends with you having fewer rights. If you believe AI is sentient (it's not) & are down with enslaving it (it's not slavery), then why do human labor rights matter?
