Interesting this kids cutting off abusive parents is an epidemic worthy of endless press coverage, but I've never seen hand-wringing op-eds about parents disowning their kids for being gay, transitioning, or having different religious beliefs.

This is a quietly metastasizing moral panic

Nobody is trying to argue that purchase of a game copy entitles them to anything more than ownership over their individual copy of the game. Sony is working with absurdly broad definitions with the intent of avoiding accountability. What a greedy bunch of monsters.

Dexerto@dexerto.bsky.social

Sony has responded to a digital games lawsuit by arguing that players don't actually own the games they buy Its lawyers say they are licensed rather than sold

This is absolutely true. Most people don't seem to realize it, but corporations don't care about morality. They care only for power. I personally wouldn't be surprised to see an outright act of corporate warfare in my lifetime. Companies see us as slaves and that won't change until we take action.

What’s pathetic isn’t Google changing the name of Lake Ontario to Lake America. What’s pathetic is that some of us genuinely believed Google wouldn’t do it.

If the job market doesn't improve soon I'm gonna snap. I've been out of a job since December and I've had to choose between food and rent every month since then. No matter how much I apply and call, there is no relief in sight. This country is a shithole and I've lost faith in improvement.

Neutrogena fired Hayden Panettiere because she spoke out about her struggles with post partum depression. Women who share their disability and mental health issues are almost always silenced. There’s always consequences. It’s why sharing our stories is so important.

I'm not queer, just someone who experienced quite a bit of violence and abuse at a very young age. Cutting off my father was the best alternative to taking his life, which I started to consider around the age of 10. But yeah sure I'm in the wrong, not the guy who threatened a kid every day.

lol come the fuck on

Exactly this: they want you consuming more than you make. They want you to accrue more and more debt, and I fear it's all leading up to making debt a criminal offense in order to add to the pool of prison slave labor.

Brian Thompson got exactly what he deserved. He prioritized his own bank account over numerous lives. His family benefited from the deaths of others, yet somehow they're the victims? Those who profit on our pain and our deaths must be punished.

As a man, men are most of the problem in our society. I've met very few with any signs of intelligence or empathy. I have no sympathy for the "male loneliness epidemic" because they've brought this on themselves. If you treat women like shit, don't be surprised when they don't want you around.

“The manosphere routinely sells a model of hyper-masculinity that capitalizes on young men's insecurities. Many of the terms we now hear — looksmaxxing and mogging — are traditionally from the incel community and used by them to reinforce misogynistic beliefs.” An editorial by @mtltoula.bsky.social

It's because Democrats are controlled opposition. This was illustrated pretty clearly back in 2016 when they screwed Bernie Sanders out of the nomination.

Sarah Wood@sarahwood.bsky.social

Why aren’t Democrats doing more to stop Flock and Flock alternatives. They are literally setting up a surveillance state around us. WTF? DO SOMETHING!!

Sounds like a great reason to bring back the guillotine!

SCOOP: 404 Media placed a tracking device in a shipment of rare books to see which AI company was buying it. What did we find? It ended up at an Amazon facility where Amazon scans and destroys books. Yes. This is literally the logo outside the Amazon warehouse door. Read now:

He’ll never step down. He will have to be toppled. His people won’t stop it. If we know anything about his republican backers, it is that they are cowards. They already are freaking out, they know this won’t last. They will all pretend they were unaware of the corruption and violence.

I'm pretty sure this is the reason cost of living has gotten so far out of control, too. If Republicans could enslave everyone on the planet, they would gladly do so.

Chris B-Eeeeek!-ler 👻@cwbuecheler.com

Important to understand that the purpose of these laws is to convert unhoused people into slave labor for the prison system. That's not a side effect, or an unintended consequence. It's the main reason these laws exist.

It won't be enough. I personally won't be satisfied until the company is shut down and treason charges are handed out. Not just Flock, but any and all corporations producing these devices.

One of the nation’s largest providers of automated license plate readers is making changes to its platform intended to quell privacy concerns and address documented abuses of its system by some members of law enforcement.

This shouldn't be considered a crime in my opinion. Insurance CEOs run capitalist death machines. Mangione did us a huge favor and I hope there's more like him to come.

It’s weird how the “young” Republicans are actually full-grown men and JD Vance treats them as children who shouldn’t face consequences for their racism, misogyny, or xenophobia. But pregnant 12-year-old little girls are treated as adults and must literally bear the consequences of rape and incest.

I'm almost 27 and it's so wild to me that I can't remember a single year I haven't been afraid of what the next year holds. The sad thing is it was simpler when I was just worried about navigating an abusive household. These days I worry about the intentions of those who abuse us all from afar.

All I saw when escaping my childhood home was a transfer of power from all the horrid adults who hurt me to those who systemically oppress and abuse. They're the same to me.

We need to talk about Trump’s threat to defund universities unless they arrest and expel protesters. We’re watching classic fascistic institutional capture in real time and if this continues unabated we’re going to look up and live in a world without escape. The time to fight is now.

Gabe Rulo reposted

No. Now is not the time to play dead. The Democrats have already played dead for too many years. 60% of our people are living paycheck to paycheck. Millions of seniors are going hungry. Now is the time to stand up for the working class of this country.

In a leaked recording, State Senator Elena Parent (D-42) said she’d vote for Republican transgender healthcare bans because trans rights are too “unpopular." "You can go right to heck. I don’t think I will lose re-election based on you screaming at me"

I found out at 23 that I had ADHD. For years I had suicidal thoughts daily, and that stopped the moment I got on ADHD medication. Cigarettes and caffeine helped some with focus, but I still wanted to die. Why choose something that's less effective and a know carcinogen? Disgusting

This is a bigger issue than people realize. Not just jobs lost. But their families losing benefits. Landlords losing tenants. Cities and towns losing revenue. This is how recessions start Ready Fire Aim is no way to govern.

A Siegel@asiegel.bsky.social

More accurate, fewer words; "There are plenty of contractors going under". A friend furloughed 75% of staff (furlough w/paying for health insurance for three months), 50% exec pay cut, 25% rest of staff to keep as many people w/salary. PS: Wasn't 18F a government office, not a contractor.

Musk’s status as a “special government employee” limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working daily—documented by his own X posts—they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congress—please share.

Donald Trump is embarrassing the United States on the world stage. We are a country that stands up to dictators and fights for democracy. Minnesota stands firmly with our allies in Ukraine.

During Trump's CFPB Director nomination hearing, it broke that the agency is dropping lawsuits against companies accused of cheating American families out of their money. This wasn't a coincidence. It shows exactly who is in charge right now: Elon Musk.

I saw somebody suggest Dem reps hold town halls in Republican districts. That is the way. Clean out those rotten boroughs and hear the People out.

Adam Kinzinger@adamkinzinger.substack.com

If your representative is dodging in-person town halls, call them out! Tag them and demand they face their constituents.

The Capitol Police arrested a group of peaceful protesters who demonstrated today in the Cannon House Office Building against the Trump’s decision to freeze foreign aid and lay off thousands of USAID workers. The president has made his message clear: disagree with them, and they will come after you.

Exactly this.

Bezos isn’t “bending the knee.” Corporate media isn’t either. The oligarchs aren’t scared or capitulating, they’re part of a coup in the middle of an aggressive class war. The longer we keep framing it otherwise the worse it’s going to get. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/the-birth-...
