As once-extinct diseases sweep through America, sickening, maiming and killing, the wild lunacy of anti-vax superstition grows ever more difficult to excuse.

I knew that Carney Davos speech was too good to be true. Doctorow explains why
"Third Way" liberal politics involves *saying* things that working people love, but *doing* things that sociopathic plutocrats love. It works ...right up until voters notice that you're not *doing* the things. That realisation breeds cynicism and fury and paves the way for fascist strongmen.

Convicted drug dealing Honduran expresident, pardoned by Trump, caught on tape saying “The pardon money didn’t even come from you. It came from a group of rabbis and people who supported Israel.” Now attempting to destabilize progressive governments in Latin America
This story is WILD. Juan Orlando Hernandez, the Honduran ex-president pardoned by Trump for narcotrafficking, seemingly caught on tape in dozens of conversations (if true), discussing plans with GOP and other figures to attack left-wing governments, and saying Israel paid for his pardon from Trump.

A leaked audio recording points to former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández, Javier Milei, and Donald Trump as attempting to create a platform to spread fake news about the administrations of ...

Mamdani is the best exampje of this right now. Fixing potholes, listening to constituents, fulfilling promises so that we can believe in promises. This would get people to go out and vote and protect other people voting.
> They want an electoral *choice*, something better than a return to the pre-Trump status quo. If you want giant crowds at every polling place, rising up against ICE and DHS voter-suppression, then you have to promise people that their vote will *mean* something.

I'm rewatching the Chernobyl series on HBO, and the opening voiceover from Legasov resonates: "What is the cost of lies? It's not that we'll mistake them for the truth. The real danger is that if we hear enough lies, then we no longer recognize the truth at all."

I love how Trump’s stupidity is backfiring on him and benefiting the rest of us
There aren't a lot of things I agree with Mark Carney about, but there's one area where he and I are in *total* accord: the old, US-dominated, "rules-based international order" was total bullshit:

I compost almost everything, but not squash seeds: those I save for the birds, who really like them

Poso pràcticament tot al compost, menys la grana de la carabassa, que guardo per les mallerengues!

Thank you, @bencollins.bsky.social , I don't need your totebag and you probably won't deliver it to me here in Catalonia anyway, but I totally needed you to buy Inf🧅Wars and especially, draw that line.
Sorry to be overly sincere for a second, but here's why we decided to persevere through all of the bullshit and take over InfoWars.

There's just gotta be a line somewhere.

Thank you @pablo.show for letting me talk so openly about this.

Read this (“We live in the stupidest timeline”)
After Bush v Gore, I got involved in a bunch of ugly tech policy fights over voting machines. The hanging chad debacle prompted Congress to appropriate funds for states to purchase new touchscreen voting machines based on a robust, open standard. Problem was, those machines didn't exist.

Despite promising to tell users before giving their data to law enforcement, Google handed Amandla Thomas-Johnson's data to ICE in 2025 without giving him the chance to challenge the government's invalid subpoena.

My friend @rokhanna.bsky.social is absolutely right.

When the President of the United States threatens genocide against millions of innocent people, Democratic leadership should stand in clear moral opposition — not hide behind procedure.
