Millions of people rely on the information they obtain via a search engine corporation which just proved it would alter digital reality if instructed to do so by those in political power. That’s some crazy shit, Google.
I'm beyond this: if you aren't actively opposing MAGA and this regime...we have serious moral differences and I'm done with you.
Andrea Junker@strandjunker.com · 4d agoIf you still support Trump and his administration, we don’t have political differences — we have moral ones. Because racism, hatred, and incitement are not opinions. They are a character test. And you are failing it.
you know how I know the midterms are coming up? Georgia just purged my voter registration again waheyyyyyy
Unpopular opinion: The world would be better off if we all took professional sports far less seriously.
In Israeli PR English, "ties to Hamas" means "opposed to the Israeli genocide of the Palestinians." Since WCK was trying to feed the Palestinians when the IDF was trying to starve them to death, that's sufficiently "Hamas" to justify blowing them to hell. If you're a genocidal monster, that is.
#StupidSuez@diplomatofnight.com · 5d agoThe Israeli commander who personally ordered the airstrikes on seven World Central Kitchen workers who were murdered in cold blood says that he is not sorry and falsely claims that the WCK has ties to Hamas. WCK is "not really an organisation you can say is innocent."
It is rather remarkable to see people quibbling about "genocide". No, no, no. It's just lots of dead people, marauding irregular fifth column supported by troops, torture, denial of water and means of survival, dehumanizing terms...
Atrios@eschatonblog.com · 6d agoWorth reminding yourselves what europe and the US fairly uncontroversially considered to be genocide then, especially when your favorites have regular meltdowns over the use of the term today
As with American culture, Dolly sought to represent the best of what southern culture can be, in defiance of the no-good peckerwood assholes who try to define it at its worst
NOW can we declare Israel a terrorist organization?
Resist 🕎🍉@antizionistjew.bsky.social · 2w agoNo, this was not recorded in Auschwitz, or at the Odessa Pogroms This is happening RIGHT NOW in the West Bank ‼️‼️ Settlers are burning homes, Palestinian families are burning ALIVE inside of them!! STOP ISRAEL - NOW !!!!
The president is now an indisputably adjudicated sexual abuser….
Headlines: Such-and-such technology may someday be as smart as human brains! Reminder: *We already have human brains.* Billions of them. Most of them living in poverty and being exploited for the obscene benefit of a tiny number of the worst people in the world.
These gloves don't cause neuromuscular incapacitation the way that a taser does. In fact, they only work when applied directly to bare skin. These aren't made for apprehending anyone. These have one and only one use: causing extreme pain to already-restrained captives. In plain language: torture.
Carl T. Bergstrom@carlbergstrom.com · 3w agoZero surprise that these are explicitly designed to cause pain without leaving a mark, not to incapacitate. Yes, we're spending $20M to buy ICE agents torture devices.
Trump voters who are regretting their vote ARE NOT SORRY.. They're upset that what they voted for is affecting THEM. They're still racists, homophobic, transphobic bigots... And people don't have to forgive nor accept them!! You got what you voted for!!!

Andy “Homegrown” Smith 📎@butterwise.bsky.social · last mo.Arresting people who are peacefully protesting the murderous actions of ICE but pardoning the violent mob that attacked the capitol and killed police officers is the definition of fascism.
they did it for a TREASON. Ron, the joke was right there!
RIP the iconic John Lewis, died this day 2020. "Get in good trouble, necessary trouble, and help redeem the soul of America." "The vote is precious. It is almost sacred. It is the most powerful non-violent tool we have in a democracy."
It is not a great look that some senior Democratic leaders have had time to put out statements on social media about how much they'll miss Lindsey Graham but haven't had time to talk about these latest executions carried out by Trump's gestapo in American streets.

Hayduke@hayduk3.bsky.social · 7mo agoYou mean the guy with the Nazi tattoo that he only decided to cover when it became a public liability while running for high public office? If nothing else, he has no common sense. Didn't anyone learn from the Fetterman situation? Aren't there other folks in the race?
I really hate to have been right about the lobsterman...but this shit was knowable last year *without any info* on his behavior with women. But it's not surprising, it's just not. bsky.app/profile/hayd...
Hayduke@hayduk3.bsky.social · 10mo agoExactly. It's not negotiable. He may be great and it all might be overreaction, but it's a Nazi tattoo. Get it removed, run for a smaller office, do good work there. Can't run for freaking Senator with a Nazi tattoo. And if you don't recognize the problem, that's 1 more reason you can't run.
Every time you see BS from WaPo (or elsewhere) circulating is an opportunity to remind people to subscribe to @propublica.org or otherwise support awesome independent media. Countering the absurdity with positive action is better for the spirit.
