Did a new one
Government style ad in watercolour. Image of a burglar stealing a painting from the wall of a home. Tagline: "It's not theft... if you say you're using it to train your AI algorithm". Body text: "Theft is now legal, so we can boost the economy by eliminating jobs. If that doesn't make any sense, ask a chatbot to explain it to you." HM government logo in the corner.

“You’re making everyone here uncomfortable.”

“I’m Andrew Cuomo. That’s my brand!”😆

More epic Cuomo trolling here. (H/T @climatedefiance.bsky.social )

How about if New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont, Maine & Pennsylvania join together and create a Universal Healthcare system, eliminating for-profit insurance profiteers.
Come on, let’s get creative. Let’s innovate. I appoint you chair of this effort, Congress member Goldman.

“the first American-born pope urged them to “speak strongly” on behalf of migrants and refugees affected by Trump’s deportation drive.”

Sure hope—and honestly kind of assume— that’s coded language for “take action, hide people,” etc.

Nice that we’re having a drought so people can look down and remember this is what we want. (I also loved that people were careful to walk around this so it wouldn’t smudge.)

And that's why Prime Day is the perfect time to stop clicking "add to cart" and support the workers organizing Amazon instead... bit.ly/primetimetoo...

Your Prime Day reminder that Amazon...

-Provides cloud services that help fuel ICE's deportation machine
-Donated $1 million to Trump's inauguration fund
-Scrapped plans to display tariff costs after pressure from Trump
-Shelled out $40M for a documentary about Melania Trump

NYT Editors set the standards for attention and framing.

Multiple NYT pieces today covering this calamity as a routine/normal event. It was not.

The President threatening war on war on the citizens of the United States using the US military to do so.
This is tyrannical.

FrontPage NYT graf
2/n
Opening graf NYT. This article is by Helene Cooper, Eric Schmitt and Shawn McCreesh. WASHINGTON - In the end, it was just another campaign-style presentation. President Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Heg-seth recited a familiar litany of partisan culture war talking talking points in their highly anticipated call-up of several hundred military officers on Tuesday.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

Well no wonder! Reagan was a dipshitty figurehead for Dark Forces brewing, -and- Bill has no eyes!
No wonder we’re now in this hellacious situation. A prescient metaphorical photo.
