Why does this look familiar?

Mike Stabile@mikestabile.bsky.social · 10h agoThe MP who pushed the UK’s fetish ban is now proposing the government purchase explicitly Christian spyware to continuously monitor every internet livestream. Labour has lost its mind.
The voter suppression stories out of Mississippi are horrifying and contrary to every meaningful standard of law

I'll note this includes a massive number of works in the TTRPG industry, including 50+ of mine that don't have registered copyrights: They're in the "settlement database" as works Anthropic copied without consent, but aren't eligible for compensation.
Greg Pak@gregpak.net · 11h agoImportant to remember that Anthropic almost certainly stole millions more works than are accounted for in the settlement. They're only paying to folks who registered copyright. But they still are thieves who stole from thousands of people who own copyright but did not register.
The simple fact is one of the primary functions of government is to keep a large number of complex systems running as safely and efficiently as possible, and that kind of quiet competence is anathema to attention-seeking MAGA blowhards, especially when it exposes their "expertise" as mere opinion.

One of my USF colleagues, Dr Ann Lawani, has been kidnapped by ICE. Dr Lawani is the director of the university's master's entry program in nursing and a vital leader in our community. Her detainment is further evidence of the racism and brutality propped up by Republicans in power.
The San Francisco Standard@sfstandard.com · 3d agoA University of San Francisco nursing professor who was granted protection from deportation to her native Nigeria has spent the last eight weeks in ICE detention in Louisiana, thousands of miles from her family.
That no one died in the riverboat collision in New Orleans today isn't a "miracle," as Markwayne Mullin just claimed. It is the result of the diligence and aptitude of the human rescuers and the determination of the human passengers.
It’s worth noting that this story is passed down to us in part to show that the Roman Republic had ABANDONED REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNMENT and was moving headlong into dictatorship

It's time to destroy gerrymandering nationwide. Democrats should NOT unilaterally disarm, but rather use their Congress majority to attack gerrymandering in DC, then make it part of the 2028 Democratic platform regardless of who gets the presidential nomination.
The Fighting Liberal Texan🌈🌊💙🦋Congress Switchboard 202-224-3121@fightingliberal.bsky.social · yesterdayGerrymandering still worked for Republicans If every congressional map had been drawn fairly, Democrats might have come close to winning veto-proof two-thirds majority in House, with Dems winning nearly 20 additional districts in Texas, Florida and Georgia alone. www.nytimes.com/2026/11/13/u...
Provo, Utah was the epicenter of the Reagan-Bush Republican Party. It went Democratic. That is truly stunning. 2026 is such a huge vindication of Howard Dean's 50-state strategy and repudiation of Rahm Emanuel's regional party obsession. Ken Martin of the DNC rejected Emanuel's model as well.
Jacob S. Rugh@jakerugh.bsky.social · yesterdayFrom 2004-2024, no state in America swung left more than Utah (D +24), and no county swung left more than Utah County (D +37), and no city in Utah swung left more than Provo (D +54). 🟦 In 2026, down ballot realignment is happening in a major way as CD3 has swung 49 POINTS left in Provo since 2022.
This moment is an opening not for restoration, but for reformation.
“So, it is important to preserve the independence of the judiciary,” he added. “If that is eliminated, then the Constitution as adopted in 1789 will no longer be the same.” This bitc^H^H^H^H Supreme Court Justice doesn't know there were 17 Amendments after 1789. Scalito needs to lose his job.
Leopards Ate My Face@leopardfeasts.bsky.social · 2d agoJustice Alito, after making Americans live in fear of losing their rights, is afraid Americans will elect a Congress that will take away rights from the Supreme Court #leopardsatemyface #Politics #News
It’s good to know that, in a nationwide emergency when the public needs clear facts calmly laid out for us, we can count on the Trump administration to deliver incoherent political propaganda blaming everyone else.
Appeal to force. Complete disregard for the rule of law. Implied threats of violence. Textbook fascism.

📬 ALASKA SENATE RACE: Mail ballots postmarked by Election Day must arrive at election offices by TODAY. Though Democratic candidate Mary Peltola is projected to win, recent comments from Trump suggest the administration may still try to block certification: https://demdock.com/4t6OkxB
Multiple reports stated that when Trump received his second briefing about Jensen Huang's affair with a Chinese spy, he did nothing. Turns out that is not true. Trump dumped a HUGE stake in NVIDIA stock. He didn't warn Huang. He didn't order investigations into national security risks.
WHAT THE ACTUAL F- *ahem* I believe that would be called a "coup."

Use "Trump Crime Family" until Sean Hannity hears it in his sleep. It's the Platonic ideal of "every accusation is a confession."
