Remember when it came out that Jeffrey Epstein and his billionaire rapist pals had deliberately manufactured modern movement transphobia to make us easier to exploit sexually and no one but us cared?

Bugs, Yaoist@bugsmaytrix.bsky.social · 3mo ago

all of contemporary transphobia feels so manufactured and fake and it's hard to explain how and why to people who haven't felt it happen at them but like people used to not like Really Care; there were shitty people but like no one built their life around being transphobic

In my lifetime I don’t think anything has made me want to give up on this broken country like the mass shared delusion about something that happened just a few years ago. So many brains are just completely gone and they’re not coming back.

Tuberville: "I'll be the governor of Alabama and I promise you we will find out if there's a possibility that we can bring him to Alabama to put him in front of a court and a jury to see if we can put this guy in prison. He killed millions of people, folks."

Israel is giving Trump's former campaign manager millions of dollars to fill the internet with pro-Israel articles written by AI, not so that anyone will actually read them, but so that *LLMs will train on them* & regurgitate their perspective. This is the future of the information environment.

Israel Is Paying Millions to Train AI Chatbots How to Talk About Gaza. It's Working.

We’re pushing a month since Elon Musk was quoting from The Turner Diaries, and every single mainstream news and political figure has maintained an active account on his platform, enriching him.

X owner Elon Musk indicates he would prioritise political violence (assassination of pro-migration politicians is the common sense meaning) over violence against "invaders" (refugees, asylum seekers, maybe ethnic minorities generally) while endorsing call for violence (killing) against both groups

Not only is ICE back at airports, they are making workers help them, even tricking them into helping. The unions need to take action and support their members. Posted this a week ago.

Gillian Brockell @gillianbrockell.com I saw video this week from another major airport of a woman being taken by plainclothes ICE after an airline worker paged them to the ticket counter. Worker clearly didn't know it was ICE asking them to page and was upset. They follow, asking ICE for a warrant & woman who they can call for her.Gillian Brockell @gillianbrockell.com I have permission from the person who took the video to talk about it, but I can't share it, because they are afraid it will make them identifiable and they'll be retaliated against. 8:29 AM • Jul 17, 2026

Last year, TSA began sharing passenger manifests with ICE, and ICE began arresting people at airports. After some initial arrests led to backlash, ICE pulled back a bit. But with the pressure on from the White House right now, we're seeing a lot more arrests at airports recently.

hmmmm almost like toothless national security resolutions help Congress give the illusion of resistance to obscure its lack of desire to take any high-leverage actions that would meainingfully alter the status quo of US foreign policy
