Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

It was bad enough when government officials claimed that journalists incite violence by reporting. But now, they’re accusing reporters of actually committing violence. The supposed violence by reporters? Recording videos.
freedom.press
Recording police is ‘violence’? Absolutely not.
Now the Trump administration is trying to destroy the right to document police by labeling it as an attack

Clinton might be a former rockstar president to some, but his reminiscing tour is tiring. He helped pass the legislation allowing tech giants to become robber barons of creative content, as well as the deregulation of media markets that allowed conglomerates to gut regional media diversity.

There is nothing comforting about “I’m just as scared as you” coming from the legislative branch that’s supposed to keep checks and balances on the executive. While she thought it was relatable, it is actually mortifying.

YouTube quietly removed “gender identity” from its hate speech policy, @taylorlorenz.bsky.social reports. This is a major radical shift away from best practices in the field of trust and safety and content moderation — and will harm creators and users alike.

Pretty simple rule of thumb when wondering why the Trump administration does anything is to ask two questions: 1) is it racist? Or 2) are they stupid? Tends to cover most Trump administration stuff.

The Trump regime has put a 10% tariff on the Heard Island and McDonald which is inhabited only by Penguins. The majestic Penguin has become the first nonhuman in history to enter a trade war with the United States.

So, which is it? If this info wasn’t classified, that in itself would be a scandalous screw-up that must be explained. And if it was classified, then the Trump administration lied to Congress and to the American people.
