I like reading, listening to music, long walks through the valley of death, and pineapple and coriander pizza. Dislike fascist pathological liar billionaires, long walks through the valley of death, and pineapple and coriander pizza.

I live in a rural town and, like, I don't know how to tell you this, but the girls play on the boys team and vice versa all the time because otherwise we don't have enough players for a game and it's literally always fine so stop being weirdos about kids sports and just let trans kids play.

Lula has won a fourth term in spite of Meta, after Brazil’s electoral court had to order platforms to stop throttling his reach while they boosted his Trump-backed opponent. Big Tech tried to rig this but the Brazilian people had the final say ✊

The full story here needs told globally In 2024, students began protests. In 2025, the movement evolved into sustained, civil disobedience - from road blockades to mass demos. In 2026, the protesters formed their own political party. Weeks later, they turfed an authoritarian from office. Resist.

"A.i." is a tool of extraction, not liberation. These fucking products are designed to fuck you over, not help you.

You asked AI for the cheapest flight. It dug through your emails, decided you could afford more, and suggested a ticket costing $100–$200 extra. Lindsay Owens explains ⬇️

"Australia is facing a truly frightening moment. We see the Silencing Squad all around us. Will we allow the Make Muslims Hated Mob do to Australia what they have done to the UK?" One key Silencing Squad protagonist is Jillian Segal, the PM's Special Envoy for the Israel Lobby. #auspol

“Far right supporters of Israel have two main strategies: one is the Silencing Squad seen recently with Macklemore; the other is the Make Muslims Hated Mob. The far right of any community is always far wrong.” Read on here: theshot.net.au/uncategorize... #Auspol

Haaretz reports Hegseth went to Israel, met with Netanyahu, and now we’re gonna strike Iran again... (Right before elections in both countries)🤔 How long are Republicans going to run cover for this destructive, deadly nonsense that is costing us all so much? @MarshaBlackburn

By moving to the “center,” Democrats have failed to fight the forces that led us to Donald Trump: widening inequality, economic insecurity, and the unchecked political power of corporations and the rich. Political centrism is nonsense. There is no middle ground between democracy and oligarchy.

The largest donor in the history of the GOP uses his massive social media platform to promote far-right, eliminationist, pro-Putin, and sometimes even pro-Hitler propaganda. Now here's another article about how Democrats must distance themselves from Hasan Piker.

Never forget that, at the end of the day, the people who would undermine our democracy and thwart our rights are nothing more than utter cowards.

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

This man👇 (who harbours white supremacist views) could switch off communication to large parts of Australia at any moment. Just like he did to Ukraine this week. #auspol

I see we're having a debate about whether it's okay to go back to "X," the site owned by a trillionaire fascist who is currently bankrolling the GOP's midterm, throttled Ukraine's war effort, and still winkingly allows vast amounts of CSAM on his service Answer: No, what the fuck is wrong with you

The NHS Guidance on trans people in hospital will protect zero women but will badly harm trans people. What a hateful disgrace and will be remembered by future generations as a stain on us all.

So we are clear, "Russia Russia Russia" was *never* a hoax.

(Reuters) - The order to limit a satellite system used by Ukraine for battlefield communications and drone operations came from inside the White House, according to two US officials and a Western official briefed on the matter. @reuters.com 🇺🇦 www.reuters.com/world/europe...

Absolutely stunning that in the NYT’s latest major story on Elon Musk single-handedly trying to save the GOP there is NOT ONE WORD about how he is the world’s most vocal white supremacist and advocate of ethnic cleansing.

presswatchers.orgThe world’s most vocal racist will be the Republican Party’s biggest donor again. But don’t mention it. | Press WatchOur top news organizations are covering up Elon Musk’s white supremacist propaganda

I double-checked this on a couple of Xitter stat sites and it's true. Average views of the main AfD account dropped 90% and average engagement dropped by 60%. This is commercial social media for you: bots, damn bots and Russian bots.

We’ve been talking about this for years. None of these far-right movements are organic.

Dear tv and radio producers. Thankyou for the invitation. But, no, I do not want to appear on your show to defend the idea that I am English, after 50 years of living and working here, because the increasingly feral right want to turn this into a "debate" and you cannot see how you're being played

Using AI to do a crime does not absolve you of criminality. AI is just a computer program. It's already illegal to use computers to do crimes. Even other people's computers. Furthermore, AI is unnecessarily unsafe; using it to "accidentally" commit a crime should add charges of criminal negligence.

I am in Cap Haitien interviewing people deported from the United States. I have been doing this kind of work for almost a decade and it literally does not get more dire than this. People have lost everything they built in the U.S. and are terrified and have no place to go or way to live.

America is in that part of the historical cycle where words and books are banned but executions are good clean entertainment and everyone is pretending not to notice the national leader eating his own poo. If only history offered a guide for where this all leads.

One Nation let a neo-Nazi into its campaign launch but chucked out the ABC and SBS and threatened to jail political rivals. None of our news outlets condemned it. NOTE TO MEDIA: VIOLENT AUTHORITARIANISM IS NOT “A POLICY LAUNCH” “Truth Lies & Media” is live!⚡️ Promo Match Frame Editing #auspol
