The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Trump confirms he is weaponizing hunger

how do i cancel my subscription to US Government

Five days ago, an ICE agent shoved a woman asking questions about the detention of her husband. Today they attacked two journalists. We cannot accept or normalize what has now become routine violence at 26 Federal Plaza. It has no place in our city.

SORKIN: You tell me if what Trump wrote sounds like coercion. 'We're gonna test ABC out. Last time I went after them they gave me $16m.' JORDAN: Well, I don't think you can say this is pressure from the govt because ABC put him back on S: But that does sound pressure, right? JJ: Um, maybe some

Full-blown militarized raid on horseback, military tactical vehicles, and soldiers on foot with a perimeter set around McArthur Park. Looks like a big show of force by ICE/Border Patrol.

um what the fuck

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave. Tell them: 1. Vote NO on Cloture AND 2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill. Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it. TODAY is the showdown. 🤳🏽: (202) 224-3121

I’m not a movie critic, but here’s a must-watch on PBS It tells the story of an 1890s #fusionvoting alliance between recently enfranchised Black voters & poor White farmers Together, they passed reforms, & built progress—until the Klan violently overthrew them This history needs to be remembered

Meta's top lawyer on AI will no longer be defending the company due to Zuckerberg's decent into "neo-Nazi madness." "Mark Zuckerberg is, of course, free to do whatever he wants to do," Mark Lemley says, "but I decided that that wasn't something I wanted to be associated with." Exclusive w/ WIRED:

Directive instructs federal agencies to suspend public communications until they can be cleared by a Trump appointee (though Senate hasn't confirmed most appointees yet)

Never had as many govt leakers reach out as I have today. Not even close

Part of fascism is a cultivation of ignorance. The art you consume is strictly censored.

Damn, we got fascism before we got GTA6

Exactly why @bsky.app is so important. Engaging on this platform is important. As is growing this platform. Which one of these men joins Tom Anderson and MySoace in the annals of history first ? Their greed is our opportunity.

A lot of people are explaining what Trump can and cannot do, based on the law and Constitution. The reality of the situation is that we're about to find out what legal walls and safeguards will hold and which will crumble. Right now, we don't fucking know.

In all seriousness: the last 2 weeks of TikTok posturing and Zuck grovelling, combined with the X insanity of the last year, should show you that an app with a feed that you don’t control serves *other people’s interests* - not yours.

“I'll show you light now. It burns bright forever. No more blue tomorrows. You on high now, love.” — David Lynch, RIP

"Lynchian" is a fully realized and instantly comprehensible adjective, as concrete a one-word summation of an artist's aesthetic and worldview as has ever been associated with any artist in any medium. Things will forever be Lynchian, but there was only one David Lynch. #RIP

Zuck is a fascist and not even a sincere one, which is worse.

open! network! users don't have to rebuild their following all over again each time they switch to a different app, so platforms can't lock them in developers can bootstrap new social apps off an existing social graph of 27M+ people win-win 🤝

Something about Tiktok getting banned for the potential of Chinese access to our data and then Americans banding together to make the direct Chinese version #1 on the app store the next day is poetic. What a weird chapter in this history books this will be

I don't know how many of y'all are watching the migration of American TikTokers to RedNote, but it's the most fascinating thing I've EVER SEEN HAPPEN ONLINE. 🧵
