After months of internal discussions, federal agencies began posting on the left-friendly social network. Within days, they dominated a list of the most-blocked accounts.

Surveillance and propaganda reign supreme in the fictional world of “1984”—for which generations have found real-life parallels, again and again. The new film “Orwell: 2+2=5” argues that noting such similarities isn’t enough, writes Shirley Li:

Happy Indigenous People's day!

Al-Qaeda was a harbinger of the anti-liberal politics and virulent nationalism that would soon reach around the world, even to America, George Packer argues. In 2021, Packer reflected on the lessons of 9/11. https://theatln.tc/zn0Aw68n

Really sad to see so many "Americans" crying over a dead Nazi. We used to celebrate things like this. #freedomofspeech

A partnership between Elon Musk's xAI and the US government fell apart earlier this summer after Grok praised Hitler. Then the White House apparently got involved, per documents obtained by WIRED. www.wired.com/story/white-...

Turns out the "good times create weak men" mantra right-wingers was true all along, but they wound up being the weak men

There’s renewable energy ads and there’s mother**cking wind farm ads. This, blissfully, is the latter.

“If the Epstein scandal teaches us anything, it is that America needs a dedicated and decently funded group of people whose job is not just to ask questions, but to find answers,” @helenlewis.bsky.social writes. “Let’s call them journalists.”

Capitalism is not compatible with Democracy. We the People deserve better representation.

"It might seem obvious that a botched disaster would implicate Trump. And yet, for some 50 years, Republicans have been trying to convince people that government only harms and never helps." www.publicnotice.co/p/guadalupe-...

Pretending that Capitalism isn't gaslighting us for the corporations is bad life practice. Capitalism isn't compatible with Democracy. Even Adam Smith knew that.

America is a nation at ideological war, which means-to MAGA-that anyone who opposes Trump must be given no quarter "[US Senator Mike] Lee’s second tweet was even more vile: he shared two images of the killer (who in fact is a staunch Trump supporter) with the caption, 'Nightmare on Waltz street.'"

Former Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board members said the Trump administration usurped their authority by denying awards to "a substantial number" of the individuals it had selected for the program.

A lesson on privatization...

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.
