Playing Diplomacy really reveals how bad people are at building community. Connection requires reciprocity. The proposals from other players all boil down to "it would really help me if you broke your alliance with that other player."

ICE agents were thwarted by a group of Chicagoans using the "Swiper no swiping!" technique. We're such a joke of a country, we're the laughing stock of democracies AND dictatorships. After going through the trouble of pissing everyone off, he just says "See!? I won!" That's not how it works

Heritage Foundation has released an absolutely insane policy proposal to label all trans people as domestic terrorists. It uses completely made up instances of terrorism and made up statistics but facts don't matter to them. They want us all eradicated.

Page 1:
Flyer from The Heritage Foundation Oversight Project titled “Transgender Ideology-Inspired Violent Extremism (TIVE): Background and FAQs on Need for an FBI Domestic Terrorism Designation.” The page defines “Transgender Ideology” and “TIVE,” outlining beliefs allegedly associated with them. It claims such ideology justifies violence against opponents or frames opposition as violence. The text references the alleged assassination of Charlie Kirk, urging the FBI to classify TIVE as domestic terrorism.

Page 2:
Continuation of flyer with a section titled “Recent Instances of TIVE-Motivated Acts of Domestic Terrorism.” Lists multiple violent events from 2018 to 2025, attributing them to transgender ideology. Includes mugshots of two alleged attackers. Followed by a “Frequently Asked Questions and Key Terms” section, addressing whether transgender people are terrorists, comparing TIVE with “Nihilistic Violent Extremism,” and discussing FBI designations.

Page 4:
Section titled “Terminology Used by TIVE.” Defines terms including cisgender, deadnaming, Gillick competence, misgendering, “Right to Exist,” “Trans genocide,” and a phrase “You either have a live boy or dead girl, you choose.” Each is presented as terminology used in or associated with TIVE. Page layout is text-heavy, no additional graphics.

White men saw the largest job increase - 365,000 - among groups.

Started watching Monty Python with my son and I noticed immediately how often they have skits with Nazis. It was a little jarring because we avoid the subject so much now. But I think part of the resurrection of Nazism is from a lack of media that mocks them, a lack of films with them as the enemy

When I got a bike fitting from a PT, she warned me that it would feel wrong for a while. I had conditioned my body to perform in a bad position, the muscles needed time to adapt to a proper one and it was going to be uncomfortable for a while. I think that applies to a lot of things in life.

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.

One of the quintessential features of our time is that companies, especially tech companies, insist on making things that they want but customers don't. Then having made a thing no one wants, their competitors rush to copy it and eventually the only options we have are all crap.

My only complaint is that while the name is hilarious, it isn't the sort of thing that could actually get Republicans to vote for. They need to write and promote the bill in such a way that it's really appealing to Republican voters, then blast the GOP for not supporting it.

The Iowa legislature just became the first in modern history to repeal a statutory civil rights law by removing protections for gender identity first passed in 2007. They have legalized discrimination against trans people in housing, healthcare, and employment. This is a campaign of eradication.

This needs simpler language: The GOP wants to kill people so that millionaires can be billionaires. People will lose their homes. People will turn to hard drugs when they can't get their prescriptions, and people will die. People will die because billionaires want even more money.

I think most people are intuitively aware of this but something like the official White House account posting an “ASMR” video of shackled immigrants is not just cruel for its own sake, it’s intentional envelope-pushing to ramp up to desensitization over inhumane detention, camps, and deaths

I think what's depressing about this situation to me, is that it would only take a few Republicans to stop it. But every last one of them is a fucking coward. In all of Congress, there aren't even 5 or 6 of them willing to say "this is out of control, we've got to do something." There's not even 1
