Welcome to America, where the convicted sex offender president is about to pardon the convicted child sex trafficker whose client he was.
“We’re focused on the wrong one percent.”

@jamestalarico just flipped the script on anti-trans attacks:

As a child, I was taken from my home and imprisoned without cause. Today, in Florida, it’s happening again. People are being held in cruel conditions, denied dignity and due process. We can’t look away. We can’t wait for things to get better on their own.

Please join me in calling for the immediate closure of Alligator Alcatraz by signing the petition below. Your voice could help bring this injustice to an end. 

https://www.thepetitionsite.com/983/564/587/?TAP=2430&source_id=AlligatorAlcatraz

Sign Petition: 'Alligator Alcatraz' Is the Newest Site of Human Rights Abuses Against Immigrants. Shut It Down!

Maggots in their food, sweltering conditions, overflowing toilets, and being locked inside cages in tents: these are the condition (49736 signatures on petition)

@gwynnion So long as the people responsible for the abuses are also responsible for punishing the abusers nothing will ever change.

Patriarchy, capitalism, imperialism, etc. all need to go so we can make a world that is safer for women and girls.

This is what it's like publishing research in 2025. I write an extremely popular blog post on EDR bypasses and Google just comes along and steals my search traffic in the most brazen way possible.

Many awful forces have seemed inevitable, insurmountable, impossible to defeat—until they weren't. But for resistance to be possible, one must first believe it to be possible.

Do not go gently. Fight. Back.

March 2020: My video exposing the Escobar Fold went live on YouTube. Turned out some guy was scamming people with fake phones (https://youtu.be/O8FJSjy3bXA)

June 2020: FBI visits the studio, collects my Escobar phone as evidence, promises they'll get back to me (https://youtu.be/_9prH7NFmLI)

July 2025: Guy pleads guilty to fraud, faces millions in fines and 20+ years in federal prison (https://www.techspot.com/news/108761-escobar-phone-creator-pleads-guilty-scamming-buyers-never.html)

The Truth About the Escobar Folding Phone!

One of my cats loves Doritos. It will try to climb in the bag to get more if you aren’t fast enough with the offerings. Makes me laugh and is totally worth the mess she makes eating them.

They've arrested the student advocates.
They've arrested the farm workers, builders and day laborers.
They’ve canceled the journalists.
They’ve silenced the comedians.
They’ve come for the networks that educate our kids and inform our people.

All under the shadow of a man who’s terrified of truth and allergic to accountability. A would-be dictator, voices of reason are vanishing from our screens. By design.

One by one, voices of reason, humor, humanity, pushed out or punished for daring to speak. Not because they lied, but because they told the truth.

This is not democracy.
This is suppression. Fascism.
This is Trump’s grip tightening around the throat of free speech, and too many are still pretending it’s business as usual.

I stand with every truth teller they’ve tried to silence. Because if we don’t speak now, there might be no one left to hear us later.

Because silence is complicity. 💙 ✊🏽

I just don't understand how there is an entire class of tech influencers that think LLMs, or the more vague term "AI", will be beneficial to society. They say things like AI taking over tasks will free humans from mundane work to pursue more meaningful activities. When has that ever happened? Workers are many, many times more productive today than ever before. The impacts of these improvements have been consistently funneled to a small number of very rich. That is the reality that has played out through history. Why will the benefits in productivity from "AI" not be funneled to the rich at the expense of the rest of society the same way the benefits of offshoring jobs to low cost geographies did, as an example?

Interference is not collusion. We used to be able to keep these concepts separate in our head. But as the years went on, partisan hacks & Substack cranks began retconning "Russiagate" -- and an intelligence committee assessment released in Jan 2017 -- to imply that even interference was a "hoax".
That effort has now reached the office of the Director of the CIA. A Tradecraft Review released last week reassessed a confidence level of their Jan 2017 opinion. That's fine; it's important to review things. But Ratcliffe's spin on a procedural review ignores all the findings that came out after.
So I wrote this as a reminder. Political appointees shouldn't be rewriting history. Intelligence shouldn't be politicized. The 5-volume Senate Report - partly issued under the chairmanship of Sec State Marco Rubio! - stands as an authoritative read. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/retc...

Retconning ‘Russiagate’
Retconning ‘Russiagate’

The CIA director encourages the rewriting of history.
