Over here looking for good people. LGBTQ+ ally and organized religion foe. Will try to curb my other wildly radical tendencies here--not sure if that will work.

We should acknowledge the likelyhood that this app will become an enormous echo chamber. Understand confirmation bias or you might believe things like "Harris will win in a landslide".

It seems like when you write a decision giving the President king-like powers, you shouldn't be indignant when he acts like a king.

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.
Wired is dropping paywalls for FOIA-based reporting. Others should follow
As the administration does its best to hide public records from the public, Wired magazine is stepping up to help stem the secrecy

We are fighting like hell to stop Musk’s staffers. They come into our buildings, forcibly removing us with the FBI, U.S. Marshals, and police. This coup must be stopped.

If true, far beyond absurd. Keep going
Unbelievable!
This is the pinnacle of absurdity from Trump & Trumpublicans.
Trump is one of the most vile human beings ever put on this earth, and because we recognize him for who & what he is, they want to call us deranged & declare us as mentally ill. He takes no responsibility for what he is!

On the subject of people traveling to the US right about now: Fuck, if I were from another country and I didn't need to come, I sure as hell wouldn't, the current administration has made it clear traveling here isn't safe, and why not take them at their word, there's a whole world to visit

So George, how did you get out of the internment camps? What do we do now? Make fun memes? Call our reps? Sing We Shall Overcome?
America hasn’t felt this upside down since I was a child in an internment camp.

Meanwhile over on the other place, rightwing free speech warriors (this guy is a former DeSantis campaign staffer) are calling for me to be denaturalized and deported because they don’t like my political speech. This is what fascism and racism looks like, folks.

If you let the executive deport people to a foreign gulag just by pronouncing the word “terrorism,” then expect to be called a “terrorist” soon yourself.
