In his acceptance speech, Lula says he will work to regulate digital platforms in Brazil. “Digital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.” This comes after Meta directly interfered with the Brazilian elections, favouring Flávio Bolsonaro.
Walz: The president said it's a bunch of radicals. You're damn right we've been radicalized. Radicalized by compassion, radicalized by decency, radicalized by due process, radicalized by democracy.
it’s incredibly blackpilling to me that it takes rising gas prices and rising gas prices alone to have people turn against the war in iran, and not the american government murdering thousands of children and civilians in iran. americans are incredibly selfish
I woke to 25 new blocks after I posted a plea for people to vote, so let me be clear.
I don't give a fuck what ideology you claim...
If you are actively discouraging people from voting, telling them it won't matter, and that nothing will ever change...
You are an ally of fascism.
Full Fucking Stop.
Here’s roughly my top 12 game of all time. My top 30 are all roughly pretty close so I’m sure there are some games outside these 12 that might rotate in and out for me.

I was just denied entry to the Dilley detention facility while my constituent, seven-year-old Diana, remains inside.
What kind of sick, horrific conditions are children being forced to endure in there?
I will be back tomorrow. Accountability can’t wait.
In Printz v. United States, #SCOTUS held that the Constitution bars the federal government from forcing or otherwise compelling local or state governments to enforce federal law.
The liberal squish who wrote the majority opinion in that case? Justice Antonin Scalia:

It’s incredibly frustrating when you realize that Democrats do not seem to understand that they have directly contributed to the build up and the maintenance of the apparatuses that are now being turned against us. Our politicians must realize that we must dismantle them. They cannot be reformed.
I’m so tired of having to suffer fools in every facet of life. Personally, politically, professionally.
There are wonderful people out there, but goddamn. There aren’t enough of them.
The centrist plan on ICE would backfire spectacularly. Dont say, "abolish ICE, say reform ICE" will lead to money being given to ICE for them to spend at their discretion. Giving people money, even scornfully, is not punishment.
For years I have preached that the 2nd Amendment is not going to save anyone from real tyranny because it would involve going against the military, which has MUCH bigger and better weapons. And that is also my friends why I am not real keen on a revolution unless there is NO other choice.
rightwingers always call women “too emotional” but renee good states she’s not mad in a calm voice while the agitated emotional ICE agent unloads his gun umprompted and calls her a “fucking bitch” after she’s dead
Yes, JD. Let’s ask them if they think a stay at home mom, avowed Christian, and widow of a veteran deserved to be shot in the face and left to bleed out in her own car after dropping her 6-year-old off at school, for the crime of looking out for her neighbors. Let’s ask everyone running for office.
Stephen Miller and the GOP are pro murder of innocent American Citizens.
It’s time to go beyond calling them liars. It’s time to call them what they are. The GOP are murderous traitors that will put citizens in wanton danger for spectacle.
the most concerning thing about them justifying murdering an obviously completely innocent murder by ICE is if they can justify and defend this, there’s nothing that’s too far for them. anything you can imagine them doing is very likely something they’ll stand behind
"The next Democratic president has to be ruthless... [they] should run on a plan to prosecute Elon Musk... there has to be accountability... the [next] Democratic president has to put the fear of God into their Republican opponents"
My advice to the Dems.

This is one of the biggest things that will need to be addressed if we are ever able to wrestle power from these sickos. The absolute media domination of right wing propaganda is an insanely large obstacle to creating lasting change.
Welp. Looks like we’re going to war with Venezuela.
Every fucking clown that voted for this under the premises to say he would be a peace president should never be allowed to forget how completely full of shit they are when they say “I was always against this.”
is there a way to avoid the scourge of ai being forced on us? like is there a single consumer facing good that will actually stand up for its users, i’m just so sick of this
They speak of sacred light for hours
Then wrap themselves in gloom
They preach the beauty of the flowers
Then curse them as they bloom
They wear a blindfold to bury
They wеar a blindfold to bury the past
To bury the past
I saw their еyes roll until they
I saw their eyes roll until they turned black
