Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.

NEW: About 90,000 people living near larger chemical plants face an unacceptable risk of developing cancer, the EPA says.

New rules adopted last year could’ve cut that number to 3,000 residents — a drop of 97%.

But Trump has halted those efforts.

Let me get this right, fascist republicans say there’s no money to address the ongoing Healthcare crisis in the US but there is money for the orange felon’s $250M ballroom, $172M for racist dog murderer Kristi Noem’s two jets and a $40B giveaway to Argentina’s dictator. Got it.

Zohran runs an ad on Fox News to undercut their endless unhinged fearmongering and greed-fueled racism.

the democratic party’s basic problem is it has almost no control over how its message reaches the ears of voters, especially outside of presidential election years. but rather than devote serious time, attention and cash to that problem its consultants and pundits want to fight factional battles

Fentanyl and coke are the new “weapons of mass destruction” lie. It’s Iraq all over again, folks. It’s always about controlling the oil.

TRUMP: “my rich friends gave me a bunch of money so I’m giving them billions of dollars in tax cuts & building them a ballroom!! also I’m on record saying I think being a dictator would be great”

AOC: “we should regulate campaign donations guys this is bad”

Media: “WHY IS SHE SO MEAN TO HIM?!”

“AOC is low IQ” is the laziest-ass joke of an insult I’ve ever heard, anyone can disagree with her but no one with a functioning brain can believe she is dumb the woman is WHIP smart

Block fascists. There's no reasoning or arguing with them, you might as well debate with spoiled leftovers. Don't let them bait you. Block fast, block often, block fascists. Let their accounts mummify.

i imagine there’s about to be an influx of MAGA chuds spewing their bullshit but i really can’t stress enough that if we don’t give them oxygen, they’ll get bored and leave. block early and often.
i know the desire to fight with these sick freaks is strong but resist the urge and just block. it’s better for your brain.

the whole article could have just been ten pages of “Brilliant Things Eleanor O’Brien Said,” and some gold was left on the cutting room floor, but this is such a banger of a closer and it’s so very much the theme of today
