Ahead of launching a war on Venezuela, the US would like to announce that no one in Venezuela should help US forces, it'd be stupid to do so, the US will denigrate you and screw you over no matter how much you help, and blame you if even one Venezuelan who also helped the US ever does something bad.

I need everybody to read this and understand what’s going on. These are spouses of US citizens in the country legally. They have entry clearance and green cards, they’ve passed background checks and have no criminal records. ICE is taking them anyway.

A roundtrip LAX-JFK flight in the late 60s was around $3K in today’s dollars. The people who wore suits on those flights were the people who regularly wore suits. Complaining about informally-dressed fliers is complaining that the wrong sorts of people are flying today.

There are 50,000 food insecure children in Maine and 2 trans athletes. Every single candidate running for office who can drum up concern about the latter but has nothing to say about the former is telling on themselves. They don’t care about children. Only power. And they’ll hurt kids for it.
25 Nov 2025 @rikiwilchins.bsky.social -- In unusual move, Sen Susan Collins (R-ME) signs petition for referendum on the 2026 ballot that would bar trans students from sports teams, locker-rooms and bathrooms. She's in a hotly contested election & this is pbly one way to increase Rep turnout.

DOGE was always a very thinly disguised con to dress up data theft and extraction class destruction of federal corporate oversight as innovative, and it's important to remember that part of the reason it worked so well is that the press helped legitimize it
hey don't be so hard on yourselves; it delivered oceans of sensitive government and citizen data to billionaires

The whole "natural birth natural life no medicine" crowd is actually more unfathomable to me than even nazis, like I understand what drives a nazi, I cannot wrap my head around the thought process that argues that the best plan is to embrace the methods that historically led to a lifespan of 27 yrs

I first learned about free-birthing because the anti-vax and free-birth movements are part of the same "natural" death cult. It is so important to understand who these people really are. The mothers deserve compassion. The grifting leaders deserve to be in jail.

when people talk about the excesses of MeToo-era feminism, I do think it's important to keep in mind the culture that it was responding to.

He already sent a lynch mob to chase Congress out of the Capitol and it was a skin-of-their-teeth miracle they didn't manage to get their hands on any of them.

It's a big deal, but shouldn't be framed as shockingly new. It is his longtime position that murdering his political opponents is good.

This is a fucking DISGRACE. The Republicans of the United States Congress are permitting a man to spew dangerous and harmful disinformation to the public.

Whenever people discuss if ChatGPT should be used in education, it should be noted that OpenAI's board includes a a professor who sought advice from a pedophile on how to manipulate one of his mentees into having sex with him, and in those conversations they substituted her name with a racial slur.
OpenAI is among the handful of the most powerful non-governmental institutions in the world.

Larry Summers could get fully jettisoned from Harvard (hasn't yet happened!) and yet still be fine so long as he is helping determine the future of AI.
