Thursday is a paid holiday. Because Flavor Flav said so.

announcement 1.1

I don't know that there is a definitive line to cross that makes you say, "I live in a police state now" but when masked gunmen can routinely brutalize the public, citizen or immigrant alike, with impunity, you have reached that point.

Something I spoke about before was how transphobia is often an expression of misogyny, it gives people who hate women an outlet and sets trans women up as a class of women it's socially okay to be misogynistic towards, while also providing an ideological justification for that misogyny.

This is one good example of how appropriations hardball can work if you're willing to not blink first. Another: take your pick for demands and restrictions on funding Executive Office of the President. Yes, literally defund the White House. EOP is the central hub of the assault on the Constitution.

That’s it. If your core value and top concern isn’t the right to be safe for ALL people, please just get out of the way.

Something I wish more people would realize.

josh turek sucks, there is no reason whatsoever to be doing this other than a truly unacceptable level of personal bigotry

Small note: Josh Turek's wording in this ad is the same language the GOP uses to include puberty blockers & hormones. This ad isn't just him agreeing with Marjorie Taylor Greene and Dan Crenshaw's bills to ban Medicare for youth trans health, it's him saying the bills didn't go far enough.

there’s no such thing as “strategic bigotry.” I know this because there is no amount of money you could pay me to become a bigot. the democrats who do this agree to do it because they’re bigots

I still think AI systems should be paying me 150k per copyright violation. People keep asking me 'what laws do we need for AI?' and I keep saying 'enforce the fucking ones we already have!' There are copyright laws that should be being enforced right now that just... aren't. B/c it's billionaires.

Once mass spam texts were made legal, younger donors vanished, leaving a grassroots fundraising machine that subsists on squeezing vulnerable seniors, some of whom give hundreds of times a day. It’s a horrific model. Consultants get generationally wealthy, and the party hollows out its future.

There was a fucking hole in our planet’s *atmosphere* Like a legit, no joke, “this will unravel our entire ecosystem” hole in the world, and then we fixed it by working together across national and political lines As a species we decided, “we will survive” Let’s do that some more

we should all be pissed off at this btw. if not because sex work is legitimate work and should be treated with respect, then because you should be concerned at attempts to gentrify online spaces as pretext to court investors and force out minorities so those spaces can become part of a portfolio.

Democrats don’t just need to win, they need to win by margins that make Republican ratfucking ineffective and pundits‘ efforts to downplay a mandate laughable. Pour it on. Do not let up.

The DFL (and Amy Klobuchar) should consider hiring someone versed in reproductive justice. Are the people running their social media ok with banning abortion for the most common reasons people have one?

If you gave a nickel to a crow that crow would have made more, by billions, than Anthropic

eBay users! Don't ignore today's email, even though it looks like a boring standard update to the User Privacy Notice. They want to use your data to train AI models. If you click the link over the words "the right to object", it takes you to a page with a toggle button letting you opt out.

Your Harry Potter dollars funded this.

Now is the time to care about everyone, not “once we win” The time to care about everyone is always always always now

Don't let billionaires convince you slop is the future. They're used to managing & directing, not making things themselves. Of course they can't see the difference. They don't understand your love for the craft. Keep making personal, beautiful games. You've got my support 💖

washington dc is not trump’s personal property and must be given statehood to prevent this kind of abuse in the future

A career Supreme Court reporter revels in a Christian nationalist attack from a Republican politico portraying himself as just some guy asking questions

You’re going to think you’ve seen the full clip when it ends with him asking Tommy if he’s disavowed the Muslim Brotherhood, but Dr El-Sayed takes it somewhere really smart and interesting two more times after that.

Hey remember when Joe Biden went way out of his way to make sure that Larry Ellison owned TikTok

Meta took down the No Kings instagram; TikTok banned the Musk documentary account for supposedly violating its political posting policies. A reminder that platforms are owned by the wealthiest of people, control the means of media distribution, & put their thumbs on the democracy scale as they wish

Unfriendly reminder that there IS no middle ground between "I should be allowed to exist with rights and protections" AND "I don't agree with that".

LOON FACTS

"I was in a mixed sex ward and was worried my mother would be bigoted to trans people in a mixed ward. The problem is trans people." The position is incoherent. Labour has a bigotry problem.

This is not beautiful to see. This is the most racist democracy on planet earth, and people just expect Black people to sing negro spirituals and "overcome." It's not working. This still happens for one reason and one reason only: white US folk don't hold each other accountable for this racism.

i’m just so fucking sorry that my muslim friends have to be hit with this despicable racism every single day. it’s not ok and you should not have to tolerate it. this country belongs to all of us.

I know people will vote based on gas prices or fraud charges or a thousand other things. As a Minnesotan, there is only this issue. Tafoya says this. Flanagan wants to abolish ICE and build a system that is lawful and humane. Peggy is a Minnesotan. Michele is not.
