had such a lovely time hearing from @fieldsmeyer.com and @juliaangwin.com last night—considering taking all headshots from now on at Onion HQ because the evening lighting is NOT like this in my home office

perhaps we should view nazi tattoos as disqualifying from here on out. i kind of assumed we'd already view them as disqualifying but was unpleasantly surprised so maybe from here we could all agree not to downplay nazi tattoos since they seem pretty indicative of broad disregard for human dignity

there wasn't a lot left to ruin but my brain is currently fully broken that people with power let a man hold the entire world hostage for like 9 hours with an existential threat. insane country. broken.

Why do you think the oligarchs took direct control of social media and manipulated it towards the far right? 2020 scared the shit out of them and they spent the last 5 years making sure it couldn't happen again.

Since the early 2010s, social media has been identified with protesters. In the early days, social media was an effective tool for activists to organize and communicate with one another and directly with the public, providing counternarratives to the ones laid out in popular coverage.

I gave up trying to reform it. We've gotta build something bigger and better. The propaganda, the copaganda, the immigrant panic is too thoroughly embedded in institutional journalism. It's part of why it's dying. I stopped mourning this and started seeing opportunity. We can build something better.

A herring is a fish. When a herring is preserved by salting and smoking, it turns red and smells. It's so pungent that it's a great diversion to distract hunting dogs from their trail. Now, a ‘red herring’ refers to anything that diverts attention from the issue at hand.

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple. Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

Jonathan Joss--voice actor of John Redcorn from King of the Hill, and Ken Hotate from Parks and Rec--was killed in a homophobic hate crime today. I'm so angry.

Statement from Tristan Kern de Gonzales Husband of Jonathan Joss My husband Jonathan Joss and I were involved in a shooting while checking the mail at the site of our former home. That home was burned down after over two years of threats from people in the area who repeatedly told us they would set it on fire. We reported these threats to law enforcement multiple times and nothing was done. Throughout that time we were harassed regularly by individuals who made it clear they did not accept our relationship. Much of the harassment was openly homophobic. When we returned to the site to check our mail we discovered the skull of one of our dogs and its harness placed in clear view. This caused both of us severe emotional distress. We began yelling and crying in response to the pain of what we saw. While we were doing this a man approached us. He started yelling violent homophobic slurs at us. He then raised a gun from his lap and fired. Jonathan and I had no weapons. We were not threatening anyone. We were grieving. We were standing side by side. When the man fired Jonathan pushed me out of the way. He saved my life. Jonathan is my husband. He gave me more love in our time together than most people ever get. We were newlyweds. We picked Valentines Day. We were in the process of looking for a trailer and planning our future. He was murdered by someone who could not stand the sight of two men loving each other. I was with him when he passed. I told him how much he was loved. To everyone who supported him, his fans, his friends, know that he valued you deeply. He saw you as family. My focus now is on protecting Jonathan’s legacy and honoring the life we built together. If your concern is how someone coped with trauma or how loudly they speak when recounting injustice and being ignored by authorities then you never truly cared about my husband. Jonathan saved my life. I will carry that forward. I will protect what he built. Tristan Kern de Gonzales

Palestinians gunned down while trying to reach food aid site in Gaza, hospital says

Palestinians gunned down while trying to reach food aid site in Gaza, hospital says

Witnesses say Israeli forces opened fire on people near distribution point run by Israel-backed foundation More than 20 people were killed on Sunday as they went to receive food at an aid distribution point set up by an Israeli-backed foundation in the Gaza Strip, according to a hospital run by the Red Cross that received the bodies. Witnesses told the Associated Press that Israeli forces had opened fire on people as they headed toward the aid distribution site run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF). “There were many martyrs, including women,” the 40-year-old resident said. “We were about 300 metres away from the military.” Continue reading...

I'm just Jeff, your friend who cares@leffjakin.bsky.social · last yr.

Regardless of how you feel about her as a candidate, @katmabu.bsky.social is breaking down how campaign business as usual is leaving people disconnected, jaded, and alienated from the political process, and imagining how things might be done differently. I think that's worthwhile!

🧵 Let's talk about campaign emails! Misleading emails like this one from my opponent are exactly what’s wrong with Democratic fundraising. In reality, there’s no May 31 FEC deadline (the next one is June 30) and these fake deadlines are used to create a false sense of urgency. Why?

BISS FOR CONGRESS We set a big fundraising goal for May, and thanks to supporters like you, we're nearly three-quarters of the way there. [BAR GRAPH WITH 0% to 100%, filled at 73%] Now we've just got a few days left to close the gap. These early milestones matter -- it determines what kind of campaign we're running and what we can build next as we plan our strategy for the summer and beyond. We can't fall short now. Can you chip in today before our deadline and help us finish the month strong?

If I were a scammer, I would immediately use this data to impersonate brands/businesses to con consumers into handing over their credit card details. The guardrails are gone.

NEW: Russell Vought, acting head of CFPB and director of OMB, just killed a rule to protect US residents' personal information from predatory data brokers. @dell.bsky.social and @dmehro.bsky.social have the scoop: www.wired.com/story/cfbp-q...
