i dont think many people understand these motherfuckers need to be hung in the streets. like actually.

you ever talk to someone and realize if this was a 300 years ago they'd definitely own slaves. idk why i keep doing that thought experiment. it's unintentional, but i can't help but see it. it scares me, how people think about one another, how they talk about other people.

this entire system must collapse. everything. did you guys hear northwestern university is shutting down their african studies program, and they have the largest library in the entire US. all capitulating to trump. all in the name of antiblackness...in the name of slavery.

democrats and republicans...it doesn't matter. haha it does not matter.

flock, data centers, AI, all down our throats with no one's consent. it's rapey because AI is made by the most misogynistic men on the planet who have sold their humanity for $$$

Without real consequences for police abuse, Flock Safety's reforms are "just a fig leaf for Flock,” EFF’s @cooperq.com told @techcrunch.com. "The best way to ensure accountability is to pass laws constraining the use of this technology and requiring a warrant for its use.”

the plan is to crash the economy and make you lose everything. the plan is billionaires buying everything for pennies on the dollar. if you step out of line for being too desperate for $18/day, the palantir flock surveillance system will flag you and ICE will hide you in a concentration camp

we are literally being priced out of existence

NEW: I wrote for MSNBC about how Madison Square Garden turning off their facial recognition cameras for Taylor Swift is a perfect encapsulation of our dystopian present: where the wealthy can use surveillance to consolidate power, and the rest of us live in a privately owned panopticon.

‘His legacy is cringe’: how Charlie Kirk became a meme among the young – even his supporters

Guys I can’t keep doing this independently. I need a job. If you know of a place—advocacy, OSINT org, think tank, left media, etc—where I could take this work in-house, pls let me know. I admire the folks making independent work for them, but I am collapsing under the weight and the lack of impact.

Dems' "Project 2029" first major policy proposal: an online child safety plan — narrowing Sec. 230, banning social media for kids under 16, promoting phone-free childhoods and more. Already backed by Cory Booker, Mikie Sherrill, Randi Weingarten + Jonathan Haidt. LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

This is horrifying. People getting sentenced to decades in prison for distributing zines, organizing mutual aid efforts, public protest.

🚨🚨🚨 Punchbowl News reports a bipartisan deal on KIDS Act, which includes KOSA 🚨🚨🚨 The House vote could come as soon as next week. Meanwhile, Sen. Blackburn is working with the White House on linking KOSA with AI regulation, and Senate markup is expected in July. FYI @omarsbigsister.bsky.social

My nine year old asked for a Rosetta Stone cake for his birthday

If i dont leave the midwestern suburbs im going to kill myself

Unless they nailed it this time, I don’t wanna hear it.

lowkey like idrc this time

the people on this site are sooo corny

This is a sick civilization. An open call to genocide. It is clear that Gaza is how we got here- tolerating genocide in one space begets another. Generations of our ancestors have worked to build something different, toward the preservation of earthly life. I hope I live to see this re-orientation.

Tucker Carlson: "It's vile. It begins w/ a promise to use the US military to commit a war crime. Those people who are in direct contact w/ the president need to say 'No. I'll resign. I'll do whatever I can do legally to stop this, bc this is insane. And if given the order, I'm not carrying it out'"

everything we are seeing now is the consequence of having a political environment in which indifference to the deaths and suffering of other people - even by the state whose supposed responsibility is to safeguard their welfare - is a superpower rather than a political liability

Democrats truly do need to use moral language to condemn republicans The right is the side of moral evil. No other group in the country is more objectively evil than right wing evangelical christians Do not let evangelicals own the concept of “morality”. Use moral language and people will respond

Theres no point voting for Democrats anymore because they don't even do anything

All I can think about is that aerial shot of the White House surrounded by No Kings protestors who did nothing but stand there with signs for a few hours.

Is it inevitable? Were we always going to end up here?

Wow this is insane. The BBC posted a story yesterday with a supposed quote from an Iranian citizen saying he is okay with the US dropping an atomic bomb on Iran. After pushback, without public acknowledgment, they just changed the quote in the story to something completely different.

If you’ve never called your congressional reps before, do it right now.

If the world knows that the President of the United States is about to commit war crimes by bombing the infrastructure of another country, isn’t it imperative that he be prevented from doing so rather than simply watch it happen

"A whole civilization will die tonight" is something that should be followed by a swift military couple and unseating of this mad man at the least and international emergency stops put in place to stop this. Instead the entire western world is sitting back while Trump might launch a nuke.

Israeli soldiers are detonating entire villages in South Lebanon while taking selfies. Ancient mosques, churches, cemeteries, schools, hospitals - all being obliterated by the genocidal regime www.instagram.com/reel/DWrg5xi...

Republicans are using kids as a smokescreen for what Big Tech lobbyists want: a national surveillance program to harvest our data with zero protections for people and their privacy. We must fight this dangerous expansion of surveillance technology.

Oh my God fuck this Haidt figure who has pretty much controlled this entire conversation and no one will bring up the fact he's a transphobe who's whole goal is to kill the internet by killing Section 230. He DOES NOT CARE about children. AT ALL!!!

Trigun stargaze was a massive disappointment. There's a lot to say but I'm just extremely upset at how they handled the story.

Women with an advanced degree are paid the same as men with just a bachelor's. And at every education level, women's hourly wages are about 20% lower than men's

This is an incredibly important piece by @masnick.com about the verdicts against Meta and I really hope you read it, because I think very few people understand the situation. Two things can be true...Meta and Zuckerberg are terrible, but so are these verdicts. www.techdirt.com/2026/03/26/e...

It’s shocking how the motivation behind almost every single bad tech bill is about hating LGBTQ people and specifically trans people
