The guys that run this site are galaxy-brained meatballs who only enforce their TOS against Palestinians and trans people so that’s all for me! I’ll leave my profile up for posterity.

User safety is supposed to be tedious my man! That’s the “work” portion of operating a site whose only value is user interaction! You just decided that being irritated by user complaints is more material than the complaints themselves, because you’re two shitheads with a clubhouse.

“Lorenzo D’Agostino, a journalist and another flotilla participant, said after returning to Istanbul that Thunberg was “wrapped in the Israeli flag and paraded like a trophy” – a scene described with disbelief and anger by those who witnessed it.”

A cop pinned this crash on Lacy with a negligent homicide charge despite their footage showing Lacy a football field behind the accident. He actually slows down and drives around the crash in the footage, b/c it has already happened. Flagrantly false charges on a 24 year old kid & he killed himself.

a tweet by Dana Gould @danagould that says:

Thinking about Rush Limbaugh and how, now that he's dead, you never, ever hear about him. No one mentions anything he did.
Because what he did had no value.
It contributed nothing worthwhile to the culture. Nothing of lasting value.
He just made anger. Every day.
Rising, blooming & fading like a fart.
Then he died & was instantly replaced by a fleet of little replicas, farting fake fury five days a week.
Creating nothing of interest or artistic value to anyone.
Seriously, what an awful way to make a living.

I feel bad about this so let me clarify - this Daily Beast piece isn’t A.I. just because it made a weird stylistic choice in the headline. It probably isn’t! But including a subject’s age when you introduce them rather than when you quote them is an “error” that generative text routinely makes.

Oh yes, this is clearly now.

A post on X by Mehdi Hasan (@mehdirhasan
) expresses frustration, asking how anyone can read a definition of fascism and not be alarmed, emphasizing that it is happening now. The post includes a quote from Cody Johnston (@drmistercody
) from one day ago, defining fascism as a form of political behavior marked by an obsessive preoccupation with community decline, humiliation, or victimhood, and compensatory cults of unity, energy, and purity. The definition describes a mass-based party of nationalist militants working with traditional elites, abandoning democratic liberties, and pursuing redemptive violence for internal cleansing and external expansion without ethical or legal restraints.

If precedent doesn’t determine cases there is no reason for higher courts to exist. You’re essentially appealing your case to the king.

My good friend Barbara has been disappeared by ICE. Looking for any contacts or resources to help find her. @laist.com @latimes.com @lataco.bsky.social @aclusocal.bsky.social @nlg.la

My name is Tucker May. In April I married the love of my life, Barbara Marques. Right now I fear for her life.

A week and a half ago she was taken by ICE at our properly scheduled green card meeting at the Federal Building downtown. At the end of what we were told was a successful meeting, the officer used the excuse of a broken copier to trick her into walking away from our lawyer. Once separated from her legal counsel, she was arrested. The reason for her detention was a missed court date from 2019 which my wife was never notified about.

We have been working with lawyers since that time to correct the situation. The Adelanto detention center has actively been keeping my wife from correspondence with her lawyer by delaying in giving her documents that were mailed to the facility.

Last night, she was taken from the Adelanto facility to an undisclosed destination despite our lawyer having filed a temporary restraining order to stop this from happening. They could be sending her anywhere in the world and we have no way of knowing.

I'm asking for help in bringing to the attention of media and authorities these multiple lapses in due process and proper procedure through the unwarranted deportation of a woman whose legal marriage has been duly recognized as legitimate by immigration through the 1130 petition process.

Please, if you have any contacts who could help, send them this information.

“Today President Donald J Trump signed a comprehensive strategy to investigate, disrupt and dismantle all stages of domestic terrorism. Common threads … include hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on family, religion and morality. Priorities include … civil disorder.”

There’s a looming showdown over the budget so the president is threatening to lay off his White House staff, because he thinks the country is a business and thinks firing people will get His Country The Business into the black for the 4th quarter.

Trump support accounted for roughly 30% of eligible voters. We don’t need to convince those people of anything, we need to dismantle the mechanisms of power that allowed one third of the country to plunge us into Nazism.

Critics of this reporting have gone from “you guys need to read 😏😏, it doesn’t label every trans person terrorist” to acknowledging that “it creates the machinery” for crackdowns and surveillance, which is the exact same thing. It’s the Patriot Act, it givens them the *ability* to label “terrorists”
