This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites.

Jack Posobiec explicitly says that "Antifa" dates back to the Weimar Republic, explicitly acknowledging that this administration is opposed to those who resisted the arrival of Adolf Hitler in Power.

I actually don’t think we should victim blame protestors for what the feds are going to do. We’ve seen them do it to perfectly peaceful protestors.
People need to be wise, use discretion, and center those most impacted, and I truly detest this rhetoric.

Some of the bottles of rice and formula and flour Egyptians threw into the sea have actually made it to Gaza - now people in Cyprus and Lebanon are joining the effort, with scientists from all over the world virtually assisting them in figuring the time and location to do so based on the currents. 💚

One reason the fascists are using terror tactics, bellowing draconian threats and demanding compliance so loudly is because they have real weaknesses around numbers and capacity. Their grip is weaker than it looks and the resistance they're already getting scares them.

There’s no reason to have a Democratic Party if it won’t go to the mat to save the Department of Education. It’s a fundamental belief that children in America deserve better futures. It’s tremendously simple. You cannot continue funding a government that would close this.
The Department of Education will begin sweeping layoffs tonight with about half of its 4,400 employees expected to be let go, sources tell CNN.

if you find yourself reluctant to support the guy at Columbia because you find some of the politics he espoused distasteful or even abhorrent, you should know that this is exactly the reaction that they hoped for in choosing him as a target for unlawful detention based on political speech.

The IRS Free File pilot program helped 140K taxpayers save $5.6M in tax filing costs in 2024.
Despite recent claims, the program is still running and is now available to 30M people in 2025.
Any attempt to dismantle it will enrich the tax prep industry at your expense.

the idea that these tech guys are opposed to "government waste" is so completely fucking ridiculous. they feast on government waste. DOD budgets are a bloated mess. the pentagon has failed 7 straight audits. the big beneficiaries are tech companies providing defense services.

This was, from the beginning, the second most obvious risk of our government sabotaging all electronic security in order to surveil us, right behind that of their using it to abuse us themselves.
"At the core of this panic are concerns that China was able to get into backdoors set up by the U.S. government for domestic surveillance."
huh, maybe if we didn't spy on our own citizens this simply wouldn't be an issue 🤔
