60 minutes CECOT segment. Recorded through my browser. HD quality. Not phone. Spread it around. If you're press, it's yours. Go nuts.

It's streaming on a Canadian website, but there is no telling for how long.

Let's say Harris won last year and Vance was holding 10k-20k person rallies where he railed against left-wing "oligarchy."

Would the CW be that this was crazy and a waste of time? Or would we be seeing NYT op-eds and A1s about what "oligarchy" is and why the GOP base was on fire about it?

It's impossible to explain how radicalized I've been in the past month. There's no reason to vote for a Democrat as the lesser of two evils (something I've accepted as flawed but rational for a long time!) if they're just going to rubber stamp fascism.

Think about this and please make sure to "repost" it so that everybody understands what's really going on.

Don't just "like" it -- "repost" it -- this is important!

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.

We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

Every hyperscaler now has an LLM that's less efficient and more expensive and horribly unprofitable versus Deepseek's open source model which can now be adopted and turned into a competitor to GPT4 or o1 except it's cheaper and you know more about how it works. Maybe it's fine? But how?

I’ve spent most of my life steeped in anxiety, and one thing that made me feel less alone was knowing how unsurprisingly not new anxiety and related experiences are.

It’s in fragments, but this is one of many clay texts from ancient Mesopotamia that describes anxiety (possibly depression)

I am a former incarcerated firefighter. I served in a California fire camp from 2009 to 2012.

Misinformation is afire on the internet, so here are facts about the prison firefighter program, all in one place.

To everyone in a similar scenario: the tactic my doctor's office has taught me is to ask, in writing, for:

Fascism was strongest in countries that were late to colonialism and didn't have significant foreign possessions to directly exploit (Italy, Germany).

Just a reminder that Amazon workers are striking tomorrow through Monday, and that none of the “deals” are good enough to justify crossing the picket line.
