This is exactly how Putin became one of the wealthiest men in the world. He got a cut of every major industry. That's exactly what is going on here.

No joke, I think this might be one of the most important roles for tech-savvy Millennials/Gen Xers.
We caught a glimpse of an amazing world, one that was almost entirely free of corporate or political influence because the suits hadnβt caught on yet. We could talk with ANYONE in an age of landlines
Brand new letter campaign! π¨
Tell your representatives: Impeach Pam Bondi!
Ready? Go!
VANITY FAIR Last weekend, Iran, one of the world's oldest, most storied civilizations, was attacked by two countries: the US, which adorably is about celebrate its 250th anniversary; and Israel, which is younger than Liza Minnelli.
Oof
The SAVE America Act is a voter suppression scam. It would take away the rights of working people to make their voices heard at the ballot box.
The Senate must reject this bill.
This was also a nightly observation in Chicago during Operation Midway Blitz. Iβm so glad some reporting is out on it now.

I hate this man so much, Just everything about him is such bumbling movie villain energy, but he's real and holds actual power. Fucking baffling the world is like this.
Call Ford to say, "NO!" to his latest move to avoid accountability. I did and got right thru.

Trump Opens the Door for ICE to Target Anyone Suspected of Being Trans
Under a new rule, the State Dept will be able to revoke trans people's visas over "misrepresentation." It'll give ICE grounds to suspect all trans people of being in the US illegally. transitics.substack.com/p/trump-admi...
TRANS. IMMIGRANTS. TRANS IMMIGRANTS ARE AT RISK. PUT THAT IN THE FUCKING HEADLINE. TRANS FUCKING IMMIGRANTS ARE AT RISK. PUT US IN THE FUCKING HEADLINE.

Art is a mirror, not a courtroom. If art makes you uncomfortable, it is not a moral failing of you or the creator, it is a challenging conversation to have with yourself.
People need to get used to having uncomfortable feelings instead of lashing out at others because of them.

Mega thread on who is behind these age verification laws, spoiler alert itβs Meta.
Jesus christ. Facebook sees internet regulation coming -- rather than stop it, they create organizations that will hold data for all of these companies to offload responsibility onto them, then lobby their already-bought politicians to pass policy that gives their new business a use.
Hegseth: "We will keep pushing, keep advancing. No quarter, no mercy for our enemies."
No quarter is the refusal to take prisoners and instead just execute everyone. It's been considered a war crime for over a century.
As long as they know why you called and that you're furious, that's enough. You are not a lawyer or government official or whatever, it doesn't have to be done in corpospeak or a formal speech. Call and scream if you have to.
"Make Porn Expensive Again" is part of a long tradition β from the Catholic Church to Jeffrey Epstein β of separate sexual ethics for the elite.
Stunning, though I guess not shocking, to see it rise again.

1. Horrifying ruling out of the 4th Circuit.
An all-Republican 4th Circuit panel has just ruled that states can compel trans adults to "appreciate their sex" by enacting care bans.
It even directly says that trans adult care bans are legal in the ruling.

I love the idea that *this* US government, which has been nabbing landscapers and five year olds knows where Iranian sleeper cells are but just hasnβt gotten around to doing anything about it yet.
If you are canadian, please spread and sign this petition!
This is really important. The FRB is soliciting feedback on a proposal that would require banks to accept any legal transaction. Please leave a comment in support of this. It's simple, takes like a minute and you can do it anonymously. There just needs to be more feedback on this issue.
I met with AI data labelers in Kenya who are organizing their colleagues to fight the brutal working conditions and horrible pay given to the workers at the "bottom of the AI supply chain." They believe the NDAs they've signed are unenforceable so are speaking out:
