🔥 TEXAS: “Registered voters in Tarrant County has increased 30% — to be closing polling stations is blatant voter suppression… when I joined the Navy, I swore an oath to defend the Constitution from enemies foreign and domestic…Talking to you, Comrades."

If it looks like an Amazon delivery and drives like an Amazon delivery, then it's an Amazon delivery, right? Not according to Amazon. Big companies like Amazon have built a vast network of subcontractors who deliver their packages while shielding them from accountability.

This is totally on brand for Repugnants. They LOOOOOOVE gametes and the potential for life, but once you're living and breathing in the world??? You can fuck off and die miserably and in pain. So instead of traumatizing babies ONCE, you want parents to do this five times??? Fuck off.

Trump: "At one year, you should have 5 separate visits for vaccines rather than getting them all in the same day. I've seen proof of where they have a vaccination thing that looks like the size of a bottle of soda and pour it into a little child's body."

We know why!

NEW: Rep. Ilhan Omar is demanding answers from DHS after local police discovered an ICE agent sitting outside of her latest town hall in a car with mismatched license plates, a violation of Minnesota law. www.huffpost.com/entry/ilhan-...

The NY Post is garbaggio and should be ignored. Hillary Clinton and all of the people who didn't for her share in the blame for all of this. Also, why are Republicans so nihilistic?? They're a ghoulish death cult amassing immoral amounts of wealth for what reason exactly?

The absolute best way to keep the fascists strong is to run in terror from the lazy, completely predictable shit they say instead of mocking them then punching back 10x harder. nypost.com/2026/08/07/m...

"Republican" is an intensely foul word in the year 2026. But for serious, that's immediately what my brain thought the "R-word" was. I abhor these people with the heat of 10,000 suns.

Don Moynihan@donmoyn.bsky.social · 2d ago

R word use has tripled on X. Thank Musk & Trump: “Trump’s championing of the R-word seems almost strategic. Our bully-in-chief is signaling who counts & who can be mocked freely - clearing the cultural ground so that the suffering to come will be easier to stomach” www.notus.org/perspectives...

NOPE.

Libraries make us a harder target for authoritarianism. Equal access to info, ideas, and space that doesn’t require a purchase to belong. Also: using the library means money stays in your community instead of streaming out to Amazon. 📚 What’s checked out on your card right now?

Tech Policy Press fellow Jake Laperruque opens a three-part series on AI in policing by asking an underexamined question: if AI systems are trained to tell users what they want to hear, what happens when those users are cops and prosecutors?

AI sycophancy in high risk domains like law enforcement are under-analyzed, argues Tech Policy Press fellow Jake Laperruque.

Tales of everyday corruption. Pete Hegseth cancelled the $400,000 contract for making uniforms for the Blue Angels on the grounds that the contract with "The Sewing Box" was DEI since the firm is Black-owned. Instead, he awarded it to a Trump donor for $1,690,000, a 325% price increase!

OMFG. I do love that they namedrop Ghibli.

“'The best way I can describe it is it looked like a Studio Ghibli movie,' Correa said. 'It was their boat, and they were all out and about roaming around on it.' ... 'No arrests have been made yet since the primary goal right now is to rescue the cats,' Correa said. An investigation is ongoing."

Is this heartbreaking? It sucks for her kids, but she did this to them.

Standing by her minivan with Trump stickers on the windows, tears up in a gas station in Rittman... "I hoped it was going to be so much better,” she replied with her voice cracking. "You know, you can't do anything with gas prices and you just can't -- you can't afford to breathe at this point."

Wow! She's so tall!!

Who are these people finding random animals places?! I can't even get a raccoon friend in our neighborhood! Or possums!

Bay Area friends: would you consider opening your home to these two cuddly cats? A friend found them behind a gas station. Their sibling, a black cat, got adopted, but it appears no one likes orange cats. They are being kept in a bathroom for the time being and need a home.
