Right-wing politicians spent the past three years using age-verification to block access to legal adult sites that a) ban deepfakes b) require consent and c) verify performer age.
All while pushing AV exemptions for right-aligned platforms like 4chan and X.
"The woman’s central allegation, according to FBI summaries of her interviews with investigators, known as FBI 302s, is that Trump hit her after she bit his penis when he attempted to force her to perform oral sex."

Pokémon Company International said it did not grant permission to the White House to post “social content that includes imagery associated with our brand" after the administration shared a “Make America Great Again” meme to social media that looks like the cover of Nintendo's new game.

So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.
That's roughly $1 billion per day.
$41,666,667 per hour.
$11,574 per second.
People do not want this.
They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.
records from three additional interviews with a woman who accused Trump of sexual assault were "incorrectly coded as duplicative"? oh for sure, definitely passes the smell test
Sen. Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma, Trump’s next pick for Homeland Security secretary, consistently uses his social media to share anti-abortion and anti-trans content.
And his new role could grant him leeway to control how detained immigrants receive reproductive or gender-affirming healthcare.
Headline from UnHerd: "UK ban on extreme porn is not anti-freedom"
Labelling someone else's consensual sexuality "extreme" is a time-honored way of limiting sexual freedom and policing sexual practice.
It's been repeatedly used by the state to patrol sex workers, queers, trans people, people of color and kinksters.
Always in the name of protecting society.
By kidnapping bank employees and seizing a shipment of gold and cash, Viktor Orbán has resorted to acts of piracy against another European nation. www.wsj.com/world/europe...
No surprises. And remember, this is based on pre-Iran War data.
Once you deduct the healthcare sector, the jobs loss situation under Trump becomes far more grave.
Seems less than ideal.
I don’t remember Trump campaigning on Americans needing to make financial sacrifices for foreign wars. bsky.app/profile/atru...
I am frankly more concerned about the apathy of the American public and even more importantly the lack of leadership in the Democratic Party.
This is not a dress rehearsal. Every single American must speak out against this Facist administration.
MS NOW confirms Corey Lewandowski is also out at DHS.
Critical thread on Platner, who is becoming the Democrats' Roy Moore (i.e. a test of whether we have any boundaries at all).
How about the children in the Epstein files???
Why aren’t they a priority
Massie on Newsmax: "We're not getting the answers we need from Pam Bondi. I just spent 3 hours at the DOJ this week looking at the unredacted files. And I'm finding evidence of files they haven't released yet." (Note that the Newsmax anchor agrees with him!)
This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.

kristi noem lost her job and got sued by nintendo in the same week. rough
Wow did something happen in the US in January 2025?
The U.S. lost 92,000 jobs in February.
According to our polling, 24% of Americans say Trump has made the economy better since becoming president, vs 53% who say he's made things worse.
Voters say 2:1 Trump isn't focused enough on the things they care about.

Trump’s Iran War is not going to be ending anytime soon. And calling for a country to surrender unconditionally means it is unarguably a war that requires a declaration of war.
OPINION: "Decades of scholarship dating back to World War I on using air power to force political change has established a consistent finding: Bombing can degrade military capacity and destroy infrastructure, but it does not produce governments more cooperative with the attacker," Farah Jan writes.
We will bomb and tariff our way to prosperity! bsky.app/profile/atru...
They think, or at least pretend to think, that this doesn’t sound like obvious cope to everyone in the world
It’s an entire White House comms shop built on the premise of “my hot girlfriend lives in Canada” being believed by normal people
The cover of this week's Economist: War Without Strategy
it’s literally broken bc of one party rn tho
