The world right now feels like when I went down to LA to deal with my childhood bedroom after the earthquake. Everything formerly meaningful is in a pile on the floor and it's, OK, what's neither shameful nor broken beyond repair, and worth taking into the future, except it's every institution.

if Elon is spending millions of dollars of his own money to push this message with paid media, what do you think he does to the black box algorithm on his platform that chooses which posts you see and which of your posts are shown to others?

Elon Musk’s PAC is running anti-lgbtq+ midterm ads on X. Not surprising but incredibly unsubtle

“Elon Musk destroyed USAID as a mechanism for killing off as many of the global poor and non-white as he can before they kill him first (as he, insanely, believes)” is not a conspiracy theory. In truth, it’s very hard to conclude anything else.

For a certain kind of white man, there is no fear more primal than the fear that the people they have abused will gain power and treat them the same way.

This is the natural evolution of Zuckerberg’s first project, harassing college girls by putting their faces next to each other and having the campus rate who was hotter.

NEW: Teen boys are using smart glasses — mainly Meta's AI Glasses — to film themselves harassing classmates at school, following girls around and "rizzing" them or "ragebaiting" them w/ insults. In several videos we reviewed, girls plead w/ the poster to stop filming. futurism.com/artificial-i...

It’s important to understand “age verification” and “kick the kids off social media” laws as a gift to Big Tech. These policies allow surveillance capitalism to chug along full steam ahead and let Silicon Valley giants off the hook. Instead of regulating their biz model, we just put up age gates

Sure sounds like Trump is trying to make the White House into a fortress for when he refuses to leave office.

Trump: "Between the drone-proofing, missile-proofing, & drone capacity, we can have all sorts of military -- I hate to use the word snipers -- but we have great sniper capacity. It's built for our snipers, not enemy's snipers. And bc of the height we get a very clear view of everything all over DC."

There's been a lot of debate within the Democratic establishment about what rhetoric to use via ICE. Well, an incumbent doesn't lose by 48 percentage points very often—and her vote on collaborating with ICE was the defining issue here.

Taniel@taniel.bsky.social

JUST IN: North Carolina's Dem lawmaker Carla Cunningham gave the GOP the decisive vote to pass a law forcing police to comply with ICE. She said "all cultures are not equal." She just lost reelection BIG in the Dem primary to a progressive pastor & activist, Rodney Sadler. 70% to 22%! Context:

While the McDonald’s CEO gets roasted for his awkward burger taste test... McDonald’s is among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps. And McDonald's CEO recently raked in $18.2M — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay. That should leave a bad taste in your mouth.

This is it. Way past time for everyone in this country - literally everyone - to find practical ways to support trans people and immigrants, this regime's primary targets. Starting right now, find something practical to do to actually help people.

look I know being an engaged citizen IS the work of democracy but it is also the work of elected officials not to create situations where everyone has to be mobilized all the time to prevent them from allowing some kind of Dickensian horror on a Sunday night while you're in between loads of laundry

What an emblem of the billionaire class—descending on a peaceful city in a private jet on the horn to NYT asking for the place to be invaded by federal authorities because the rent-a-cops you employ for a week to harass a few junkies outside the convention center cost too much.

Last week Jesse Watters spoke to man named Eric who claimed he was formerly a member of antifa. Two years ago Watters interviewed Ramon "Mundo" Mendoza, a former Mexican Mafia member. Some folks thought the men looked similar. This is a side by side comparison. 🤷‍♀️

No, I noticed that everyone taking care of me was a highly competent professional who had emigrated here from another country to fill our vast need for healthcare workers. Why were you asking fellow patients for their papers, you invasive weirdo

Vance: "If you're an American citizen & you've been to the hospital in the last few years, you've probably noticed wait times are especially large & very often somebody who's there in the ER is an illegal alien. Why do those people get healthcare benefits at hospitals paid for by American citizens?"

Today’s shameful shadow docket decision from the Supreme Court—allowing Trump to unilaterally cancel $4 billion in aid—is not behavior that any healthy democracy tolerates of its judiciary. It is a sign of constitutional rot that precedes the rule of law’s collapse. slate.com/news-and-pol...

The level of anger and violent rhetoric spewing forth from Trump, Vance & particularly Stephen Miller is profoundly irresponsible. There’s a reason societies depend on responsible public servants to model decent and ethical behavior—so that they don’t devolve and fracture into violence & hate.

Everybody gamely says “Vance hosted Kirk’s podcast” instead of “the regime officially turned the major channel into state-controlled media just as it began its violent crackdown on any opposition or dissident messages.”

If you’re not white, or you have friends or loved ones who aren’t white, or you’re not a total sociopath and therefore care about fellow humans who aren’t white, you need to understand this regime thinks not being white is inherently suspect, and lots of your fellow Americans are fine with that.

Getting a lot of the doomers here on the 4th of July. Just a reminder that on the original 4th of July, a king had already sent an army to occupy Boston, the signers of the Declaration had good reason to believe they would be hanged, and it would be another five years before Americans won the war.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy. I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

Hitler started with deportations and then quickly realized they were too expensive and moved to gas chambers. I want you all to keep that in the front of your minds.

These numbers for ice are insane

Aaron Reichlin-Melnick@reichlinmelnick.bsky.social

If the GOP reconciliation bill passes, ICE gets through FY2029: - $45 billion for detention, on top of the current annual budget of $3.4 billion - $14.4 billion for transportation and removal, on top of the current annual budget of $750 million - $8 billion for hiring/retention - Billions more.

The suggestion that a doctor’s motivations for supporting trans youth care is “substantial resources by big pharma for pushing these medicines” is monstrous
