Something interesting you can find when scrolling replies, is how occasionally you’ll get a cluster of the same basic reaction.

Some of it is probably people repeating what they saw in a quote post, or something.

Two replies back to back that mention the Washington Post’s motto “democracy dies in darkness”

Close. Amoroso means something like “with love” (amor) or “tenderly”, and it’s a brand name.

also I get it the Palestinian side has seen the disproportionate majority of the bloodshed and suffering at this point but if you didn't shed the same tears for innocent Israeli civilians I think you at best have an agenda and at worst are an unrepentant antisemite but that's a whole can o worms

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

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.

What drives me nuts about this dialogue: diversity and inclusion training was a corporate response to the statutory requirements civil rights laws. None of these laws have been repealed by Congress. Congress can pass the laws under Section 5 of the 14th Amendment, which has also not been repealed.

guards ignore—but are trained—that withdrawal is a life threatening condition, and ignoring someone in withdrawal is both deliberate and indifferent

the fact that they were *wrong* about this person’s emergency doesn’t make their conduct any less deliberate or indifferent

i’ve seen enough. and by that i mean lots of evidence. If you’re running an account that uses phrases like “antifascist,” or anything in the vicinity, the FBI, the NYPD, it doesn’t really matter, it’s all the same thing now, you’re on a watchlist.

I can’t find a good app that works off of the official site, so I’m using the web and the experience leaves something to be desired.

Bottom navigation bar isn’t attached to the bottom of the screen, so when you scroll up, it leaves a gap.

I never paid much attention to him, but whenever I saw him in the news it was for stuff like, relocating his employees out of hostile states.

I guess the billionaire part is what I should have paid attention to.

What an emblem of the billionaire class—descending on a peaceful city in a private jet on the horn to NYT asking for the place to be invaded by federal authorities because the rent-a-cops you employ for a week to harass a few junkies outside the convention center cost too much.

Mr. Benioff spoke as his annual Dreamforce conference is set to begin Tuesday in downtown San Francisco, bringing 50,000 visitors to the city. He is scheduled to deliver a keynote address about the benefits of "agentic enterprise," a business model in which humans and artificial intelligence bots work together.
Speaking by telephone from his private plane en route to San Francisco, he lamented that he has to pay for nundreds of off-duty law enforcement officers to help patrol the convention area and said that San Francisco needed to "re-fund" the police.
The city never actually "defunded" its police force, and San Francisco's violent crime rates are below those in many other U.S. cities.
But San Francisco has struggled to recruit and keep officers, and it still has problems with lower-level crimes and open-air drug use, especially in neighborhoods like the Tenderloin near City Hall. It has about 1,500 police officers, and Mr. Benioff says it ne → another thousand.
