God if nothing else its nice to see -someone- in congress actually say the real facts on this shit rather than just spouting off the same heritage foundation talking points ad nauseum

when senior talent is laid off:

they knew they could get away with it because they practiced all those times on the “narco-terrorist” boats, where they also killed the survivors, and nobody sent them to The Hague about it so they are running completely unchecked right now with full use of the arsenal. I do not know how this ends

@lizkrueger.bsky.social and @annakelles.bsky.social have introduced a bill to impose a moratorium on data centers in NYS for at least 3 years 👏

They do not. A fundamental underlying problem.

Why We Must Fight to Stop HR 7661 Before It Destroys the Lives of American Children Lately I’ve been calling my House rep and screaming about one zillion things, and maybe you have too. But today I want to talk about one thing in particular you should add to your list: H.R. 7661 i…

I wrote about the first national book banning bill, which effectively seeks to erase trans people. At the end I include a link to let your reps know that you oppose this bill and all it stands for. lithub.com/why-we-must-...

House GOP Moves Ahead with Kids Online Safety Package as Democrats Balk House Republicans forged ahead on a child online safety package over the vocal opposition of committee Democrats.

House Republicans on Thursday advanced a package aimed at expanding protections for children online over vocal opposition from Democratic lawmakers, who said the package had been weakened and could actually put more kids at risk, Cristiano Lima-Strong (@viacristiano.bsky.social) reports.

oh shit! this is very cool

Going to publish this to the network this or early next week. Last chance to comment before it goes live!

Made a noise at this.

ICC ain't no Dark Horse, but all the same, you'd have to drag me out of here in a body bag. I can only imagine how Mike must feel, right now.

ICE detains reporter Estefany Rodríguez in Nashville - Nashville Banner Reporter Estefany Rodríguez, detained by ICE with no arrest warrant, may face deportation. Her attorneys seek immediate review of the legality of her case.

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.

They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

I do think the most insane part of the age gating laws is they absolutely won't fix anything whereas if you passed a law absolutely assigning liability in deaths to the AI companies with a nice fat minimum settlement all these problems would get fixed lickety-split.

Hey all, sorry to say this, as I think I have well-intentioned friends who signed, but this "declaration" means nothing. Because Steve Bannon signed it, and he wants my family dead. So if you can sign along side him? At best, you got played. He's the "humanity in control". humanstatement.org
