  How can the F.C.C. sell the idea of axing funding for schools and libraries to connect to the internet? You guessed it! Protecting the children from too much screen time! https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2026/06/fcc-may-kill-2b-program-that-connects-schools-and-libraries-to-internet The F.C.C. will ask the public to comment on the proposed funding cuts https://www.fcc.gov/ecfs/search/search-filings/results?q=(proceedings.name:(%2226-133%22)) #uspol #FCC #internet #libraries #schools #erat...

  I.C.E. executions never stopped. They continue to shoot folks in they're cars and then attempt to justify the murders with predictable and contradictory lies. According to one official statement, I.C.E. shot dead a 25 year old father because he was attempting to use his car as a weapon, according to a different official statement I.C.E. shot him because he was attempting to flee the scene https://theintercept.com/2026/07/14/ice-shootings-maine-houston #fuckice #ICE #DHS #policebrutalit...

  A few weeks before I.C.E. murdered Renee Good, Israeli soldiers ordered a teenager to stop his car. He stopped and then they shot him dead anyway. "ICE and the Israeli army are using the same playbook because they are born of the same system of state violence and white-supremacy – the same machinery of racialized control that has been refined in Palestine and imported to American cities" @palestine@fedibird.com https://mondoweiss.net/2026/01/from-palestine-to-minneapolis-ice-and-isr...

  Israel casually committing yet another ecocidal health and environmental crime designed to threaten food security in Lebanon and destroy Lebanese livelihoods just because it can. Samples of the cancer-causing herbicide which Israel sprayed over Lebanese farmland were at concentrations 20 and 30 times higher than normal use https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/feb/05/israel-accused-of-spraying-cancer-linked-herbicide-on-farms-in-southern-lebanon #lebanon #ecocide

  Somebody remind me why E.U. taxpayers are subsidizing the most climate wrecking, cruel, and resource intensive types of agriculture hundreds of times more then they subsidize sustainable types of agriculture? "The EU’s common agricultural policy (CAP) provides “unfair” levels of support to meat-heavy diets that doctors consider unhealthy and climate scientists consider environmentally destructive" https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/feb/19/beef-lamb-legumes-eu-subsid...

  Behind the grift: "Sam learned when he created a short-lived liberal counterpart for Emily on Instagram: “Democrats know that it’s AI slop, so they don’t engage as much [but] the MAGA crowd is made up of dumb people—like, super dumb people.” "The algorithm also favors controversial views [and] even though liberals would flock to the page to leave irate comments, they were still clicking [so] "your content will go viral” https://www.wired.com/story/ai-generated-maga-...

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@randahl/116421045860997788 Israel has established a pattern of murdering journalists then mounting fake news operations to smear them as "terrorists". Last year they bombed the Palestinian journalist Anas al-Sharif and his colleagues, then shared fake Telegram messages as "evidence" that al-Sharif was a terrorist: https://skwawkbox.org/2025/08/11/israel-caught-faking-messages-to-smear-gaza-journalist-anas-al-sharif-after-murderi...

  “We can tell people that we're living in an authoritarian state. They won't believe us, but we can show them” ... “The government’s refusal to accept the judgment of the High Court, coupled with inconsistent and opaque policing decisions, signals a troubling disregard for the rule of law. “These are not the actions of institutions committed to protecting citizens, but of a state prioritising its own authority.” https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/over-arrested-hundreds-gather-...

  RE: https://social.freedom.press/@freedomofpress/116296222397275085 According to the department of justice, journalists who ask government officials the "wrong" questions are committing a crime. "What was once a fringe, failed legal theory concocted by some local cops in one Texas border city is now the official position of the federal government’s lawyers ...

  An undercover cop who infiltrated leftist and anti-capitalist activist groups blew his cover in 2004 when he accidentally dialed one of the activists during a secret police meeting and recorded himself answering questions about the activists. When the cops realized his mistake, they debated if they should "mount a destructive operation" against the activist groups https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026/mar/22/undercover-police-officer-exposed-by-his-own-blunder-spycops-inqu...
