Military families on day 9 of the shutdown lining up at the food bank

Reminder that RFK Jr is a raging antisemite (remember his assertion that covid was somehow genetically engineered to not affect Ashkenazi Jews?). There is no aspect of him that isn't absolute poison

What Thiel is saying about tax havens = what Altman is saying about copyright:

"I can't be rich unless you let me steal from you."

This is how Broligarchs differ from oligarchs of yore: the latter tried to hide their thievery; the Broligarchs trumpet their entitlement to steal as a natural right.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

It’s considered impolite to use language like this, but “evil” is the best word for what these folks are doing. It’s bad enough to screw over workers to attack political enemies. But here, doing so will literally kill people and lead to avoidable disease.

Read the Prospect, get the news first.

I wish people in Cedar Rapids would see this.

Hot new item. Flying off the shelves.

“I’m worried about my community… I’m out here in a frog costume to show how ridiculous the notion that we’re violent terrorists is, and showcase how that narrative is wrong…”

Serious Q: is it too late to give this dude the Nobel Peace Prize? 🐸 🏆

Counterpoint:

You absolutely do not have to hand it to enslavers

Alexie Navalny was charged with and found guilty on trumped-up charges in 2013, 2014, 2021, and more until he was eventually killed in prison. This is the playbook that Trump and his thugs are desperate to emulate.

Portland is doing well making clear the ridiculousness of the military takeover.

For those who missed it in 2015: Lenovo intentionally installed malware *in the BIOS* which would inject a rootkit into your OS and MITM all your traffic.

Even if you reinstalled the OS from scratch, the malware was in the BIOS, so it would just reinfect the freshly-installed OS too.

Things are happening at Portland's ICE facility tonight.

"Wealthy New Yorkers who take the bus" might be the most astounding seven words any NYC mayoral candidate has ever spoken.

As a protest optics nerd love about the inflatables is how much they visually disrupt and pull focus from the fascist shock imagery Noem & Miller are trying to create.

So many of these photos now look like the world's silliest dance party, backgrounded by a bunch of guys in uniform looking awkward

Since the beginning of our known history, the war has been against women. Sometimes we forget because progress is such a good illusion.

This is why I think the next Democratic president needs to use the EXACT tools that SCOTUS has handed Trump. Don't leave room for any distinctions.
