According to the article, all she's been doing is TAPING articles onto the walls. TAPING. Not spraypainting, not carving, not damaging. Just TAPING.

And they're calling that vandalism.

This too is fascism.

Abraham Gutman @abgutman.bsky.social

Park rangers fined Sandra Shachar for vandalism this morning at the President’s House, hours after the Trump admin installed its version of history. The 72 year old has been posting news articles on the site’s walls since the slavery exhibit was removed. If she does it again, she’ll be arrested.

I do not believe democracy is compatible with billionaires being able to spend unlimited amounts of money on politics.

Honestly think it should be illegal to conceal the death or incapacity of an elected official.

Republicans may be running out the clock on disclosing whether McConnell is even alive, purely so a filing deadline slides past and Thomas Massie can't grab the seat. A man's actual mortality reduced to a procedural loophole for gatekeeping power.

Journalists float astonishing theory around silence surrounding Mitch McConnell’s health

With Sen. Mitch McConnell's (R-KY) health status still unclear after his latest medical incident, multiple journalists have offered a stunning theory for why his office and fellow Republicans have remained largely silent.McConnell was rushed to the hospital in mid-June for an undisclosed medical rea...

Real. People LOVED this dog.

They also cheered when the aliens blew up the White House and when they blew up the new age people on the rooftop in Los Angeles.

dave wagner @davewagner.bsky.social

i saw "independence day" in the theater in 1996, and friends, i will never forget the way the entire audience literally and ecstatically CHEERED when the dog escaped from the explosion. that dog could have won an election for president with like 95% of the vote in july, 1996.

a dog is escaping from an explosion in a tunnel in "independence day." he is a good boy

I know that most of our digital tools are controlled by awful billionaires and it's almost impossible for us to divest ourselves of all of them.

But I think that X and Substack are so horribly toxic that everyone should avoid them as much as possible.

And as a commenter welcomes, guess who just welcomed Andrew Tate onboard? Yep, Substack.

FUN MOVIE FACT: your eyes did not deceive you if thought a key location from MASTER AND COMMANDER: THE FAR SIDE OF THE WORLD (2003) looked familiar! It's appeared in many classic Hollywood films for decades. True fans of cinema recognize it immediately as: "The Ocean."

"A.i." is a tool pushed by racist, fascist billionaires for racist, fascist purposes.

The Breach @breachmedia.ca

Ontario jails are using an AI tool that claims to predict prisoners’ behaviour. And it’s disproportionately placing Black prisoners in maximum security. An investigation by @desmondcole.bsky.social reveals the province knew the tool would discriminate against Black people—and used it anyway.

The Politico article itself notes that there is ZERO actual evidence for the DHS claims.

The Politico headline is inexcusable.

Never forget that Politico is owned by Alex Springer.

www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Politico’s parent company Axel Springer CEO Mathias Döpfner emailed his top executives shortly before the 2020 election to ask if any of them would “want to get together for an hour in the morning on November 3 and pray that Donald Trump will again become President of the United States of America,” according to an email obtained by The Washington Post.

Politico @politico.com

DHS says it found thousands of non-citizens on voter rolls in four states

A draft press release viewed by POLITICO said non-citizens were registered in California, Nevada, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

oh hey turns out the debate’s over - LeBron wins

Acyn @acyn.bsky.social

DOOCY: Where do you stand on LeBron versus Michael Jordan as the best ever? TRUMP: Michael Jordan's a friend of mine, play golf with him. He's a really good guy. and I think LeBron is maybe he's a racist but maybe he doesn't like Trump. I only like people who like me.

Fresh off of endorsing Chris Rufo —by name—and his vision to destroy higher education, Yale is rushing to help the Trump admin resegregate education. An absolute disgrace.

If you care about retaking the Senate, Platner's given us extra work:

If Maine falls short, we need to hold MI and GA and take NC -- and then we have to pick out 3/4 out of AK, IA, OH, and TX.

Please pick a race you care about and donate/volunteer if you have the capacity. Some links to follow...

The entire consumer-facing "A.i." industry is a fucking scam. Ban it from all your businesses and institutions.

Summer Brennan @summerbrennan.bsky.social

I ran an absolutely 100% human, zero AI-involvement at any stage passage of my writing through an "AI detector," curious if it could really tell human from AI work, and it said my own writing was "84% AI written" then asked I wanted to pay to have it "humanized." So there's that to keep in mind.

so in the absence of platner, we get to have AOC hammering Collins for a while?

that's very good!

Eric Michael Garcia @ericmgarcia.bsky.social

AOC on Susan Collins touting the money she got for body cameras and ICE training in the DHS bill. “Senator Collins wrote the blank check to allow these officers to conduct themselves in the way that they have in Maine in the first place, and she's the one who's poured resources into it.”

Now you can't "loiter" on the National Mall, the most public of all public land in the United States.

amanda moore 🐢 @noturtlesoup17.bsky.social

“Loitering is not permitted in this area. Please proceed to a designated location. Thank you for your cooperation,” a surveillance machine tells a small cluster of National Guard members as they patrol the fenced off Reflecting Pool in the rain.

maybe we should consider that it's too soon to praise them, given the suffering that they inflicted on so many?
