At first glance, the Anne Frank line is dark humor the kind that makes you snort before your brain has time to register the horror underneath. But the second it sinks in, the laugh dies fast. It curdles. Because the joke only works when the reality behind it is already too damn close for comfort.

It's not just social media. Looks like visitors to the US from Europe and other countries that are part of the visa waiver program will have to submit an enormous amount of data about themselves and their families, including DNA, if proposed new rules are accepted

Buttigieg on Indiana: "The big part of how Trumpism works is to make you feel totally disempowered. To make him feel inevitable. And yet the clear takeaway from this is he is not unstoppable and you are not without power."

Who else agrees with Amanda Seyfried?
I absolutely agree that she has a right to free speech. Plus, most of what she’s saying is factual.

Just heard Fetterman has written a letter urging a pardon for Netanyahu.
WTF is wrong with that guy? Are all leaders supposed to be able to commit crimes with impunity now?

CNN is already Fox's little sibling. Although I agree that the Paramount takeover would make things even worse.
New at Fight the Fire: Trump may try to put CNN in the hands of MAGA cronies. What good's the media if it's not saying what he wants, right?

Congratulations.
That looks like those lopsided votes against apartheid in the 1980s. Once again, the U.S. is one of a small group of ugly actors. At least the UK got its act together this time around.

Ukraine accomplished to pass a UN resolution that recognizes the tragedy of Chornobyl - NOT as RU spells is “Chernobyl”; and Russia’s fault. For years, they’ve claimed their narrative passing THEIR resolutions. For the first time Ukraine accomplished to recognize the truth.

Not really a tough choice unless you're beholden to corporate interests
so we can choose between more oil and gas in Canada, and unprecendented societal and ecological collapse, or trying to mitigate the climate crisis with an emphasis on renewable energy and energy efficiency.
Tough choice Carney. Your move.

The Nazis took control of German media. We're not quite so far down that road, but really really close, and the Paramount attempt to take over Warner Bros is a big step down that road to totalitarianism.
X has taken the concept of the Volksempfänger* and modernized it.
*Introduced in 1933, a radio that the German masses could afford. Cheaply produced, it could only receive local (German and later Austrian) radio stations unless someone rigged up an antenna, which was illegal.
