When the President decides photojournalists can’t take pictures at Sec’y Hegseth’s Iran briefings, it’s not a small thing. We’re connecting the dots to the larger efforts to erode our 1st Amendment rights, just when we need them the most. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
Dungeness crab nachos served in a minature ferry boat is the most Seattle thing to ever Seattle.
I don’t think we talk enough about how the foundational, most aspirational premise of the AI industry is “what if there was a human-level intelligence that didn’t have human rights.” Like. Exploitation is literally the whole point! Of COURSE they hold human life, intelligence and labour in contempt!
In movements like this, which have no need for authority or even leadership, I would be extremely wary of anyone who calls themselves a leader and then ends the movement.
The idea had been brewing for a bit, and Moto Hooligan Firearms has come in hot with its first Trans-focused, two-day firearms safety course in Seattle.

The same company behind Alligator Alcatraz was just paid $313 million to build another one in Surprise, Arizona.
I’m fighting to get the answers the community deserves.
I am so pissed at that lying f
Trans people predicted this shit would be coming down the pike, but were dismissed as alarmist and hysterical
I can't raise a red enough flag for the way states are attacking trans people in this moment. It is extremely bad, and escalating quickly (and relatively quietly)
The regime is taking over media.
“The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

"The American people can accept honest mistakes. They can accept fog-of-war judgment calls. What we as a nation should not accept is moral drift at the top of the chain of command."
Lying liars who lie
I don’t think unconditional surrender is imminent.
Covering sessions daily at the Commission on the Status of Women this week, one question keeps coming up for me: How can responsible media better amplify the institutions trying to address global crises? Too often we are not meeting the moment — we are being entertained by it. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus & @DrTed...• 6h Global military expenditure just hit $2.7 trillion - in a single year. According to @UN estimates, ending world hunger by 2030 would require $93 billion annually. That means we spend almost 30 times more every year on killing each other than on making sure everyone eats.
This is Director of WHO. And that’s exactly the point I’m trying to make all day every day this week.
After a series of fatal strikes involving civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan, Congress directed the Pentagon to reduce civilian casualties as part of a 2019 law. During the Biden administration, the Defense Department created the Civilian Harm Mitigation and Response initiative. The civilian mitigation teams – cut by 90% by Hegseth – work with military commanders on target planning, and making sure that targets are actually military sites. The teams help come up with "no strike" lists, including religious and cultural sites and schools
I knew that the Department of War shot a missile into a school & killed 175 civilians, mostly children.
This is learned today:
Secretary of War Hegseth had cut the teams assigned to prevent such tragedies by 90%.

Into the garbage bin they go, right next to Target.
We don’t need your shitty brands! You’re expendable but trans people are not.
Whether it's Democrat John Kerry asking for Swiss on his cheesesteak or Republican Donald Trump demanding a list of Jews at the University of Pennsylvania, both sides have made controversial requests in the city of Philadelphia.
Yup!
I would need a full, public reversal of their DEI policy
Trump: "We did a little excursion. We had to take this little couple week excursion. But it's been incredible. Our military has been unbelievable. I would say to put it mildly way ahead of schedule."
Holy fucking cow
This is such evil bullshit
by this dumb ass logic, bans on prescription eyeglasses should be legalized so the state can compel people to appreciate their natural ability to see stuff
This administration is beyond ridiculous.
Hate how he goes back and forth calling it a war or an “excursion”.
How many people are dead in this “excursion”?
Disrespectful liar.
A real American president -- as opposed to a poseur who plays one on TV -- would take responsibility for this tragedy and express our nation's regrets.
The guy who claims to know everything (including that Iran used a Tomahawk missile on the school) never knows anything when it comes to being accountable.
