You are MEMBERS OF CONGRESS.

If they threaten you with arrest for trying to access a site you are lawfully entitled to access, YOU MAKE THEM FUCKING ARREST YOU.

YOU MAKE THEM SLAP THE CUFFS ON A CONGRESSMAN LIVE ON TV, YOU MAKE THEM FUCKING DO IT.
Members of Congress say they were just denied entry to USAID headquarters on orders of Elon Musk and DOGE and were told to contact the State Department for any further information.

Something I think is worth commenting on is the shift away from the old school genteel traditionalist image of masculinity--they said they cared about sexual propriety, that they opposed harassment and rape, and so forth, and it was assumed that this was part of their ethics. Until Trump came along.

There are a few of these. Bad actors are assembling blocklists to trick people into blocking voices that they want to mute.

Readers, MAKE SURE YOU TRUST the author of a blocklist. They can keep people from you, and modify the blocklist after you subscribe.

very frustrating to watch the Dems continue their strategy of "sit back and wait for the Republicans to shoot themselves in the foot" while the Republicans execute their strategy of "exploit infinite health glitch triggered by pointing gun at foot and pulling trigger"

Xiaohongshu is supposed to be ~the spoooky communist app~, but Tiktok is still where Marxists are begging everyone to stay on-message about why they're moving there, so really who knows

is it weird to tell someone you met one time that the narrowing crossback on their sewing project gives a real sense of dynamism to the piece asking for a friend

Sometimes I choose to believe things that give me faith in humanity, like maybe all this time the people who make the blue painter's tape have just been refusing to sell to landlords

One thing it's taken people way too long to learn after the harassment campaigns of the 2010s is that someone can be the target of a horrific and undeserved torrent of abuse and also still be pretty annoying or even a pretty shitty person

this is not helpful for people in the northeast to hear rn so for everyone else: history is no longer a reliable indicator of what climate disasters are coming your way. if you don't already own a hepa filter air purifier and respirator/gas mask, I highly recommend you do
