At least 30 people have died in ICE custody in less than a year under the current administration. With the massive increase in detainments, conditions inside ICE detention facilities will only get worse, leading to even more deaths.

Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan's trial on federal charge began with prosecutors seeking to make the case that she knew what was at stake when she directed an immigrant to a courtroom's private door while immigrations agents were in the courthouse, reports @apnews.com.

New! We worked with the Public Interest Research Group to test a bunch of LLM-driven toys ahead of the Christmas. That sexual talking teddy bear wasn't a one-off; it turns out disturbing behavior is deeply built into these toys across the board.

A group of former federal leaders, many of whom served during the Biden administration, is launching a new organization to improve government operations and services. buff.ly/XCCxn7j

Weird situation. AI adoption in the work world is stagnating, while higher-ed institutions are rushing to embrace it so that students will be prepared for…the work world?

new: people across Wisconsin are increasingly standing up to AI data centers. at the old Foxconn site, citizens are thankful for Microsoft, but they said no to a new Microsoft data center 20 miles away. worries range from a loss of open land to meager tax payments www.cnbc.com/2025/11/25/m...

The thing about using AI is that once you learn about how not great it is (for the environment, for artists, for your brain, etc.), you can just stop using it. No shame. Just be done with it.

I hope folks realize that between Trump, Kushner, Hegseth, Witkoff, Noem, RFK, Jr., Kash Patel, and Tulsi Gabbard, this country is almost entirely undefended.

Former Waukesha County prosecutor and judge Brad Schimel has been appointed as the interim US Attorney for the Eastern District of Wisconsin, a position he secured in just 2.5 weeks.

NEWS: The UK is no longer sharing intelligence with the US about suspected drug trafficking vessels in the Caribbean because it does not want to be complicit in US military strikes and believes the attacks are illegal, sources familiar with the matter told CNN. edition.cnn.com/2025/11/11/p...

FACT CHECK: Donald Trump is lying, again.

JD Vance claims that diversity weakens unions, as people end up distrusting each other and not organizing. Let me tell you two menswear stories related to this claim. 🧵

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase. The President is building an army to attack his own country.

Frank Sinatra on what it means to be an American in 1945

It’s 2028. Everyone on the Bucks roster is an Antetokounmpo.

Rick Scott was forced to resign as CEO of the hospital company he is referencing here, and pay a then record breaking $1.7 billion fine to settle a Medicare fraud scam. Why would the GOP or cable have him on as a voice for delivery of affordable health care?

He uses this framing a lot. His boss clearly loves it. It also works for him because, in his own way, he is the minoritized Other in that little power cabal — he isn’t really one of them. He does this to show *his* gratitude which I suspect they demand frequently. But also such a smarmy so and so.

BREAKING: WE WON!!! 💥 💥 💥 Federal Judge William G. Young ruled today in our lawsuit against the Trump administration that the policy of arresting, detaining, & deporting noncitizen students & faculty members for their pro-Palestinian advocacy violates the 1st Amendment. Full ruling here:

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

I somewhat expected other departments to follow suit as shutdown time draws closer, but I'm not seeing that yet.

A lot of people think that every international student admitted means one fewer spot for domestic students, when the opposite is more likely true - the tuition revenue international students bring allows public universities to provide substantial discounts to domestic students, improving access.

Nothing says “land of the free” like armed agents of the state saying “show me your papers if you want your daughter back” bsky.app/profile/nbcb...

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

Christian Girl Autumn is canceled…it’s time for Fuck Fascists Fall

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

At least 15 people including journalists and teachers have been fired or suspended for criticising Charlie Kirk online, Reuters reports. Free speech for us, not for you. #NorthKoreaShit

Today, Senate Republicans refused to have RFK Jr. sworn in under oath to give his testimony. I find it telling that Republicans refuse to take even symbolic steps to show they care about transparency and truth from the man in charge of the agency tasked with America's health.

A terrorist targeted federal workers last week. There wasn’t much reporting on it. But I’m not finished thinking about it! 🧵 An anti-vaxxer fired more than 500 gunshots into CDC Atlanta, shattering 150 “blast-proof” windows on 6 buildings. Employees were pinned down in terror.

As someone who works in the computer field, I have to repost this because this is 100% accurate. "A.I." isn't doing any reasoning or any searching... all it's doing is making up a response that sounds like it would be a response to what you entered. It's statistically advanced autocomplete.

Extortion of Nobel Prize is Hall of Fame level abuse of office. Every single Democrat should be mocking this clown for being so fragile, so insecure, so weak, and so openly corrupt.
