THREAD: Whenever imperialist governments go to war, they become more authoritarian at home.
That makes censorship bills like KOSA, ID checks, and attacks on Section 230 even more dangerous.
Online protest, documenting war crimes, even news articles could be suppressed.

We devoted few! Were you also part of the Operation Haverchuck-style website that appealed the cancellation? SaveWonderfalls.com, I think it was. Might have been another one too. I still don't understand how the show hasn't been packaged with the other Fullerverse shows for streaming. Music rights?
I was one of the 15 people who watched Wonderfalls when it aired, & it was EVERYTHING to me. The world and premise were so unusual and fun. Creative writing and direction. Excellent performances from absolutely everyone. A show about human connection & how our smallest acts can effect others' lives.
I'm seeing a trend of people beginning to hate/give up on social media & the internet in general. I'm asking you to consider that it's by design bc we get so much collective power here, too.
One of the things in The Files is how they turned many of these spaces into right-wing cesspools on purpose.
I haven't watched the doc yet, but I just watched Shandi's season for the first time a couple of weeks ago and I am sick to have my fears confirmed. Hearing about all the shirking of responsibility, I'm not sure whether I'll end up watching the doc at all. Is it worth it, or is it basically PR?
If you're a fan of Austen adaptations, do yourself a 12-minute favor and check out my friend Julia's hilarious, Oscar-nominated short "Jane Austen's Period Drama." Emma Thompson loved it so much she is now credited as its Executive Menstrual Advisor.

I really appreciated when my favorite Netflix show resolved the love triangle with a throuple. First time I'd ever seen it done and it worked.
Feels like taking my first look at myself in opera production stills
Anti-Semitism linked to “Zio” can be traced back to the late 1980s, according a 2006 Philologos column in Mosaic magazine, when a student at SUNY Binghamton scrawled “Zionazi racist” and “Kill Kikes” near the campus’ Jewish Student Union — on the 50th anniversary of Kristallnacht. “Zio,” however, didn’t become a common anti-Semitic slur until Duke made it famous over the past decade. A search of Duke’s radio archives reveals that “Zio” has been used 359 times in episode descriptions since January 2012, with 17 mentions in 2017. A search of “Zio” on Duke’s website yields 264 pages of results since 2002. Following the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in December 2012, Duke posted that “lead bullets are not murderers.The real murders are not the bullets, but the Bullies of the Zio Media …. Guns did not create the horror in that little school in Sandy Hook, Connecticut. The Zio masters of the media did. They have devoured the real America. The masters of the media continue to take us down the path of human depravity.”
this has come up in my life a few times this week so figured everyone may benefit from a reminder that the abbreviation z-i-o was popularized by david duke; you can surely make your point without vernacular coined by him and similarly hateful duke-types.

Glad we staked our city coffers on all that sweet, sweet tourist revenue
1/29: San Fernando Valley today, be on alert!
Confirmed seen in Panorama City, Van Nuys, and one other unconfirmed report of a sighting in Tujunga Canyon.
And the feds will be here & in charge of “security” over the city for the next 2+ years due to Olympics.
Abolish ICE = No Olympics nolympicsla.com/pick-a-side-...
Oh no! If you're on any kind of blood thinning meds you should definitely get checked out. I hope the only thing hurt was your ego!
THE TIME TO BECOME PUBLIC ARCHIVISTS IS NOW!
download videos off of social media! write in your journals! take photographs & develop film! make backups of hard drives! take voice notes!
they will try to erase everything if they can, they can't take information from all of us
Truly, HOW?? Magic hands or favored by the gods or something.
I can still feel that silky Muppet texture on my skin
Just got a call from my daughter’s school here in north Hollywood that ICE has been seen near the campus. Heading over there now, hoping that’s not the case. But word is they’ve been all around NoHo and Burbank today so everyone stay safe and watch out for your neighbors.
Want to help Minnesotans currently under siege? Friends on the ground say this food bank is delivering to folks who are having to stay inside to avoid ICE harassment. www.2harvest.org
"Many are criminals without borders who have moved from hijacking businesses to hijacking nations."
I hope that you feel as safe and cared for as possible, escape infection, and get some actionable information to help your condition when all is said and done!!
I’m seeing increased use of this word and I just want to gently suggest that if there’s one word you can manage to remove from your vocabulary it should be this one.
It was coined by a eugenicist who used it as a diagnosis to forcibly institutionalize and sterilize mentally disabled people.
Don't read into it. Newsom is a Republican sympathizer and it wouldn't surprise me at all if he went the Eric Johnson route, positioning himself as a moderate, post-Trump Republican in 2028 to challenge JD Vance.
Whether he does or not, he is not our friend and should be handled with caution.
Californians are NOT going to vote for Gavin Newsom. They're telling you now, with YEARS to go before the election. Fair warning. Please support better candidates, there will be many to choose from.
Don’t you dare ask me to vote for this soulless bottle of hair gel
