How many thousands of people are gonna get charged $70 a month because they didn't read to the third paragraph of this fucking email

Discord lied. they’re now sending scanned IDs to persona, a third party company. “facial scans will never leave your device” -discord lmao.

Using reading and crafting and gardening and gaming to cope with The World is all well and good… until you faint and get a major concussion. How am I supposed to rest my brain and body and not spiral into existential dread?

Don’t let this White House lie to you. Believe what you see. Alex Pretti was trying to help a woman off the ground. Then immigration agents tackled, shot, and killed him. It’s time for them to get the hell out of MN.

Also, my father’s final words to me were to continue to fight the good fight. He would be honored in Alex’s sacrifice, and ashamed of this current administration. In my dad’s words, I encourage you all to continue to “fight the good fight.”

Last night with no warning, RFK Jr. cancelled up to $2 billion in funding for mental health and substance abuse research and programs administered through SAMHSA. He and his minions did so because “they no longer believe the defunded programs align with the Trump administration's priorities”.

Trump administration sends letter wiping out addiction, mental health grants

The Trump administration sent hundreds of letters Tuesday terminating federal grants supporting mental health and drug addiction services.

It goes without saying that in the US you’re not supposed to have a masked secret police that snatches people off the streets without knowing if they’ve committed a crime. That’s about as basic a requirement for a democracy as exists.

Having seen several abductions up close, it is really hard to convey how much the thing they’re doing is roaming in military convoys until they see someone who is alone and isn’t white, and then jumping out in large numbers, pulling them into a van, and screeching off, all in 90 seconds or so.

This is Minneapolis: -drop the kids off for a day with their grandparents -go to brunch with your wife -get a text from neighbors who don’t have enough food & can’t leave home or they might be abducted by fed govt -get groceries as helicopters roar overhead -deliver food & this vehicle passes you

Now that Trump and Vance and unapologetically murdering US citizens you don’t hear about the Epstein files anymore.

"how you treat people is who are are" is a WORD this evening.

If being disrespectful to black women is a means to your supposed antifascist end, fuck you and your revolution. How you treat people is who you are.

A Black man named Keith Porter was shot and killed by an ICE officer on New Year’s Eve. Marimar Martinez was shot five times by an ICE officer in Chicago who went on to brag about leaving seven holes in her body. This is not new but it is expanding.

Elad Nehorai@eladn.bsky.social · 9mo ago

Your reminder that what happened to Renee Nicole Good is something that happens regularly in America. This is not new, but it is an expanded version of militarized people targeting Black people in particular. From ICE detention to murder with impunity, we've been doing it. Now it's broadened.

For me it was The Good Place. I have never seen a show end so beautifully and so perfect.

a tie between His Dark Materials and Andor. Both absolutely gorgeous. Both bittersweet and devastating, but in a way that feels correct.

Any article observing that the AI bubble is about to burst *but then suggesting AI is too important to our financial systems to be allowed to fail* is missing the point. Generative AI is a massive fraud and a brain drain on humanity, even leaving theft and resource issues aside.

welcome home to your parents’ house, the channels are Yellowstone, masterpiece mystery, and Jimmy fallon, btw someone from your high school died in a real weird way

this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous this is worth sharing and educating people about

Video of a daycare raid in Chicago went viral last week, showing armed federal agents dragging a teacher from Rayito de Sol Spanish Immersion Early Learning Center as children watched in terror. To the families at the daycare, the scene was a show of force that shattered their sense of safety.

“They dragged her out in front of the kids”: Inside Chicago’s ICE raid at a bilingual daycare

When armed agents stormed Rayito de Sol, a Spanish-immersion daycare, parents like Maria Guzman say their children witnessed terror—not justice.

Having a very anxiety ridden, overstimulated night and cannot sleep. Which wouldn’t be such an issue except I have a dr. appointment in 6 hours. Which means after I will be dead for the rest of the day.

I don’t care who you are, the one thing that links all of the -isms and bigotries together and sets them on fire is eugenics and ableism. They’ve been playing you all the entire time. There is no progress in this country for ANYTHING without equity for disabled people.

If we as a country cared about disability and therefore healthcare and access, they would not be building AI centers in Black neighborhoods.

Make it good, make it bad, make it with your own mind, heart, and soul. I want to read it the way YOU wrote it. I want to see it the way YOU’D draw it. I want to hear it the way YOU’D play it. Participate in the act of creation.

Yuuuuuuuuup.

Did you ever wonder what you would have done as a citizen in historical times of incredible cruelty: slavery, the holocaust, etc.? You don't have to wonder anymore! You're doing it!

I called Ossoff about this yday, but I may call again today tbh. He's worried about reelection but he has to know that if he screws this up he's gonna lose us. (If your senator is one of the few listed here, please call!)

Sarah Taber@sarahtaber.bsky.social · 11mo ago

Readers in Arizona, Michigan, & Georgia! Your senators have been getting a LOT of dedicated pressure to end the shutdown, without fixing healthcare. If you have a minute, go ahead & give them a call! Their job is to respond to constituents & they're mostly hearing from GOP voters rn.

Teen Vogue changed my life and their politics team was doing incredible journalism comparable to very little other publications. I can't say I'm not disappointed with this decision. Sending y'all love❤️

Lex McMenamin (they/them)@lexmcmenamin.com · 11mo ago

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day. certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

Last night was my 13th time seeing Murder by Death. They have been my favorite band for over 20 years and my heart will be missing a piece after they retire. #AlasIMustGo

Good Boy was a great movie! That dig acted better than most humans I have watched!

You ever eat a nice warm meal of nice comforting chicken noodle soup but then that cozy sleepy feeling turns into outright fainting because your body decided blood for digestion was more important than blood for brain? Anyways vasovagal syncope is a bitch.
