This is not going to be as easy as it looks. But what the heck...
"don't make enough money" is a fig leaf All those degree programs--social work, art, etc.--have disproportionately female student bodies. This is designed to make it harder for women to attend college--college education being a key factor in women's autonomy from men & left-leaning voting pattern.
The New Republic@newrepublic.com · 3d agoPresident Trump is banning students majoring in degrees that don’t make enough money from taking out college loans. Degrees for social work, art, religious studies, teaching aides, and music will be hit the hardest. trib.al/aaAEu6v
Anne Frank was arrested on this day in 1944. History rarely returns wearing the same uniform, it returns asking the same thing of ordinary people: Will you sit down and look away? Or will you stand up and fight? #Resist
The other day somebody said liberals will choose fascism before socialism. I thought it was too cynical. Then I see this.

When they told us that food was nothing more fuel, and that it was fine, better actually, to have the TV on when we ate. We should have realized that they were fascists.
Someone tell Costco to cut this supplier.

jessamyn@librarian.bsky.social · 5d agoI work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

Eeeew do you suppose covid destroyed musk's sense of smell?? Or do they both smell the same. Maybe that's just how lizard people smell, like pancake makeup, feces, and death.

In Part 5 of our series, we cover some good news, which is: the fight against #Flock is WINNABLE. Stay tuned for part 6, the final part of our series, where we explain that even winning the city council vote and getting the contract cancelled doesn't actually stop the #surveillance.
Went out last night with a woman half my age I was telling her about the 90s and what fun we had. She says "Yea, you had hope" Suddenly remembered when I was young & the old heads told us how lit the 70s were Ask me what happened and I'll tell you about capitalism and how hope can be commodified.
"Freedom of movement, freedom of speech, and freedom to call your city your own are all being attacked in Washington DC, as residents coexist with the armed reminders that there is a would-be authoritarian in the White House." Read Annie's powerful essay below: zurl.co/HmaxJ
Ignore the second bit, let noone tell you you've lost while there are still good people fighting. But do mind The Story is now too big to be ignored.
The New Republic@newrepublic.com · 7d agoThe MAGA assault on free speech is unlike anything we’ve seen since at least the McCarthy era, but it’s also so slow-building that we easily lose track of it amid the daily chaos of the Trump administration. The story is now too big to be ignored. trib.al/eKvitTT
Corporations are not moral entities. Their priority is profit not ethics not democracy not lawfulness. Profit.
The Tennessee Holler @thetnholler.bsky.social · 7d ago😕🤷🏼
Republicans are trying to make the news cycle about anything other than Donald Trump and his incredibly unpopular domestic and foreign policy agenda. That’s why they set up this Fauci hearing. And everyone is taking the bait
Yes this is egregious. but also, get ALL socials off your phone. If you can, get a flip phone. If you can't, keep you "smart" phone as dumb as possible.
Wendy the Woke@nomorex61.bsky.social · last wk.“border authorities believe that they have the right to search and seize incoming travelers’ digital devices without a search warrant or court order because travelers are not on U.S. soil until they’re authorized to enter” Just life in a police state. #Shshed www.nytimes.com/2026/07/28/u...
This is what ai was for all along. Manchurian candidate indeed.
David Roberts@volts.wtf · last wk.Israel is giving Trump's former campaign manager millions of dollars to fill the internet with pro-Israel articles written by AI, not so that anyone will actually read them, but so that *LLMs will train on them* & regurgitate their perspective. This is the future of the information environment.
tbh, I'd rather smell skunk in the air, on the breeze, than smell your dryer sheets. The sickly sweet smell of "product" is nauseating.
