every person in this is depraved, evil, needs to be put in prison for the rest of their lives and must suffer for these crimes against humanity

🚨 STOP SCROLLING. This is urgent. Odai is living in constant, unbearable pain. Every hour without surgery steals more of his chance to walk and live a normal life. Time is running out FAST. Please don’t scroll past — even $5 or a share could save him NOW.

I think you only admit that while in the Salesforce office

That's my fuckin boy

Perfect example of why everyone hates tech people. Perpetually aggrieved self righteous douchebags who cant even take the lightest ribbing of their unwarranted sense of self importance lol

We are currently outside the ICE Broadview concentration camp where Sunny Naqvi’s family believes her to be held after being detained in O’Hare by federal authorities.

WHAT. A. DAY in finance and geopolitics

(2) US jobs report saw economic deterioration over 2025 tariff war turn into outright losses of jobs
Heather Long: A dismal Feb jobs report. US economy LOST 92K jobs in Feb and the unemployment rate ticked back up to 4.4%.

what is the case for thinking that the duration of the conflict will be up to Trump?

This is a round table about college sports. This is what he thinks is more important and challenging than the war he started and has lost interest in

I hate these people

the Iranians are trying to inflict as much pain as possible to get the U.S. to back off, even at the cost of hurting themselves. *If* the U.S. backs off they have other needs!

This was a very hard piece to report out, but an important and urgent one. If you care about the safety of women and girls online, I hope you’ll read it and share it with others.

Another reminder that billionaires are not billionaires because they are smart.

They are rich because they are broken in a way that allows them to completely ignore morality in order to gather more wealth in a doomed attempt to fill the unfillable hole inside them.

With Tony Gonzales dropping out of the TX-23 primary, the path is wide open for Brandon Herrera to take the GOP nomination.

Herrera is a YouTuber and firearms manufacturer who has an unhealthy fascination with Hitler and Nazis and a total disregard for those who suffered during the Holocaust.

I served, you're absolutely full of shit. The poster or book with forbidden tattoos is older than either of us. And I was a combat medic, saw plenty of infantry with ink and none of it racist symbols. Because they wanted to stay in the military.

hey this take sucks ass

dudes rock

How the fuck is this thing gonna open its mouth and not only speak English but sound like a guy with FX dramedy voice

Can't tell you how much non-fiction books have saved me during this fascist chaos. Also fiction. Poetry too. Cosmology/physics books have been an escape for me since I was a kid. My dad loves paleontology books. Find your escape portal and refuel.

"The raid on La Catedral may not have made the national headlines that immigration sweeps in Minneapolis, Chicago and Los Angeles did, but it illustrated the depth and breadth of President Trump’s effort to find and rid the country of undocumented immigrants; 75 people rounded up that day have since been deported, according to local immigration lawyers. Beyond the economic impact, there is the social one — the profound sense of uncertainty and suspicion that has filtered down, even to a town like Wilder, Idaho. The raid “nearly destroyed” the community, said David Lincoln, a longtime Wilder resident and executive director of a nonprofit economic development agency serving rural towns in western Idaho. Wilder won’t really know the impact until planting season begins this spring."

And look at what comes after it. Not only does it accept the supposed purpose of the raid without any evidence or doubt. It then purports to move to the "social" impact -but while the top of the paragraph uses the word "community", it says the impact won't be clear until spring planting!

So many of these articles about people being kidnapped from their communities are written as though they're about people caring about each other equally, and when you read them critically they're actually about exploitable labor. Or about

"“We rely on Hispanic labor,” said Chris Gross, a second-generation farmer who grows sweet corn seed and mint in Wilder. She added, “Nobody thought something like this could happen here.”"

I've posted about this before but I just looked up this article for something I'm working on and I cannot deal with this - the quote, or the way it's presented without direct follow-up or context.
What does "Hispanic labor" mean?

Oh no, I can't believe all those slurs forced themselves into that defenseless group chat!

This shows the sort of data that Proton Mail, which prides itself both on end-to-end encryption and that it's only governed by Swiss privacy law, can provide to third parties. In this case, the FBI. @evystadium.bsky.social has more.
