This is, and I say this kindly, an incredibly white people question.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but the proper sequence of events is:

Is it still a paywall if it's just a pop-up window that can't be closed that demands I turn off my ad blocker? Or do we have a different name for that kind of nonsense?

Thank you. That was more of me thinking out loud about making that list to keep on the post it than a request for you to do that labor but I do deeply appreciate it. Just so long as Colin Firth and Emma Thompson steer clear I think I can be okay.

Same playbook for the last 50 years and still people act brand new. Not you but those who didn’t vote with us and even some who did vote with us

So many similarities to GOP candidate Nixon dispatching Kissinger to sabotage LBJ's Vietnam talks, initiating a horrendous Cambodian bombing campaign after winning the 1968 election - only to sign essentially the same deal in 1973 that LBJ had put together 5 years earlier.

So, Łink is still banned? All the accounts we see catch bans and come back, and all the ones that mysteriously never get banned, but the one that stays banned is Łink?

Free Łink.

I'm tangling with a pro AI person who is demanding to know which AI program is generating those muddy cartoonish illustrations with the brown overtones that everyone who is normal about AI recognizes immediately as slop, because he thinks it's not slop. Is it ChatGPT? I don't touch the things.

Look, I get that we all want to like that frog pretending to be Obama “Hop” poster, but you all understand it’s obviously AI, right?

It has that pissbrown sheen suffusing the entire thing that’s even more obvious when you compare it to the original.

I’m not alone in seeing this, right?

These are mostly indigenous communities in Alaska that have been slammed by the storm.

The local manager of a small airline fleet says he is the only one doing evacuations right now!

Defund FEMA and people are abandoned. Defund public media and no-one knows.

FYI, today is Indigenous Peoples Day.

Trump took office with a Israel-Hamas ceasefire in place, then announced a vision for Gaza as a US-owned resort, with most Palestinians living there gone. Israel restarted military ops in March and imposed famine. Thousands of dead Palestinians later, the Trump admin helped broker another ceasefire.

Opinion | Trump’s Nobel peace prize campaign is the least important part of the Gaza deal

If the ceasefire holds, the administration deserves much credit. But the fixation on Trump getting a prize distracts from things that actually matter.

Christopher Columbus himself was a monster, but Columbus Day was instituted in 1892 to combat rising anti-immigrant, anti-Catholic bigotry after the lynching of eleven Italian-Americans. The same revanchists defending Columbus Day as "part of our US heritage" in 2025 would have opposed it in 1892.

When someone is not in office then they are not an elected official anymore. It is not a lifetime vow like joining a monastery. They do the job, then they go do other things.

Honestly, it needs to go further than this.

We need to confront the fact that democracy and wealth hoarding cannot coexist. Allowing people to amass the resources of a small state/country allows them to act as such, which is inimical to a shared society of “one person, one vote.”

John Rogers @johnrogers.bsky.social · 1d

“No Kings” is great , but we really don't get a functioning democracy back until we internalize, bone deep, the instinctive response to this and every other statement like it: “I don’t care what that rich guy thinks.”

Make it your morning affirmation. Say it ten times at the top of every hour.

As usual, Tennessee Holler lifts video without crediting creator. No location or date. No ID of person shot in the head w/less lethals. All findable!

By removing context, Tennessee Holler damages activism and makes misinfo more likely.

Also from Ofer Cassif:
"Only once Israel became too insane, chaotic & unstable to serve Trump’s imperialist interests that he decided to put an end to the bloodshed. A man who sends troops to invade his own cities and arrest and harass his own people, on top of his imperialist moves, >

Two MKs (one Jewish, one Palestinian) disrupted 45/47's "Victory" lap in the Israeli parliament. All they did was hold a sign that read: "Recognize Palestine!"

They were swiftly removed.

Grateful for a ceasefire. But this isn't justice. It isn't a "peace process" of any kind.

The Crime of Human Virtue by A. R. Moxon

"Why do this? I'd argue it's because human progress exposes the truth, which is that when you open up the ledger and start the historical audit, that supremacists, fascists, Nazis, Republicans—whatever you want to call them—actually have contributed nothing of value. The best they can claim is that they enslaved those who built it for them as they watched, and now possess the booty that they stole from somebody else's safe. Certainly it's true of these modern fascists. Contra Miller, they build nothing except concentration camps of enslavement and other engines of punishment and oppression and false narratives of self-justification and premeditated violence. What has been built of value has been built from human virtue, and human virtue, like human progress, exposes the Republican project like it exposes any supremacist project, as a project void of virtue, opposed to human progress, and even to humanity, and even to humans."
