This is fu*king outrageous! The federal government on Saturday dismissed charges against a Utah plastic surgeon accused of throwing away COVID-19 vaccines, giving children saline shots instead of the vaccine and selling faked vaccination cards. apnews.com/article/utah...

no sorry you’re right this technology is absolutely worth depleting our water supply

“I have had to parse AI and real images for over a year now as this tech grows, but even I was almost sold on those season 5 images. If I didn’t know Nano Banana Pro had just launched, I probably would have 100% assumed they were real.”

Everyone should have the right to speak up against injustice without ending up in a database. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Court permanently blocks Trump's executive order to dismantle federal agency for America's libraries IMLS librarytechnology.org/pr/31973

I spoke with people role-playing ICE raids in video games to help educate people on their rights and what to do in real-life situations. Tonight, they're holding an event in Fortnite www.wired.com/story/activi...

This image. A government agent in camouflage using a gun to shatter the glass of a car window to abduct the people in it. Daylight. Public. Not some other country — right here in the United States. We shouldn’t become numb to the horror of what this is.

speaking as a virginia beach native if these kind of dudes are plotting against ICE then there is wide runway in public opinion for straight up abolishing the agency under a dem presidency

Success Freedom Prosperity and then Connection

“Even if fossil fuel emissions were eliminated immediately, emissions from the global food system alone would make it impossible to limit warming to 1.5°C and difficult even to realize the 2°C target…major changes in how food is produced [and consumed] are needed…”

This is some scary shit you guys. Two pillars of the community—middle aged white guys no less—arrested because some off duty cop bastard sitting several booths away in a restaurant claims to have heard them “plotting against law enforcement.” We’re in the “ears everywhere, trust no one” stage of it.

The Guardian points out that the document Trump is forcing Ukraine to sign was highly likely to have been written in Russian by a Russian. Then translated in a way not natural for a native English speaker. Agent Orange is literally on the verge of doing Putin's work and killing a free nation.

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Zohran flip your hair again we need healthcare get him to give us healthcare.

"His determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy" sounds awfully heroic and noble -- like Galileo

Did we accidentally invade Mexico, before trump even had the chance to on purpose invade Mexico

Good day to readers; Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands. Still. But we are back in a reality where Ukraine is being pushed toward capitulation. Myroslava wants her son to live in a free world. She voiced The Counteroffensive's stance: Trump's peace plan is a roadmap to more war.

NEW: FDA review staff was excluded from voting on whether to approve first priority voucher drug. Top leaders like Vinay Prasad, George Tidmarsh, and Tracy Høeg led the vote instead. Read for the full list, and expert reaction from @hollylynchez.bsky.social: www.statnews.com/2025/11/21/t...

The entire Tiffany Aching series collection by Terry Pratchett is currently just $1.99 for U.S. Kindle. These are among my favorite books ever. 💙📚

Every detail that leaks just makes it worse and worse. Meanwhile, Fox is covering the mayor of NYC's visit to the White House and CNN is talking about goddamn giant pandas!

New from me: I talked to CDC staffers about the new vaccines and autism page. They said things like: “The best way I can put it is it feels like we’re on a hijacked airplane.” “I think people are starting to see that we can’t fulfill our mission here.”

All of our new titles are up, along with a load of Lackadaisy books! Let's get that holiday shopping outta the way now, eh?

security isn't a technical problem, it's a social one

Oh boy. Ok. Time to stretch our alt text muscles. This one’s gonna be a doozy but let’s give it a shot.

Everywhere ICE operates, it’s the exact same story.

Cheers to the person who leaked the initial changes www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

You ever clean 9,000 free-response entries of where someone went to college? Ghastly stuff. I'm shoving a ton into an international bucket before I experience the joy of finding typos ( I hate you "univeristy wiscnosn") with some sort of levenshtein distance. (Still not a data scientist.)

WHOA. The FBI was/is spying on a Signal chat for a New York immigration court watch group, claiming they were “anarchist violent extremist actors.” Your reminder that the government is watching and don’t say anything in a big group chat you wouldn’t say on TV. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.

This thread freaked me out in part because I recognized it as a real social phenomenon in my own life. A member of our extended circle is writing a book because ChatGPT told him it was a brilliant and novel idea. Friends, it is neither but he is absolutely convinced and nobody knows what to do.

When Border Patrol showed up across Charlotte, parents and neighbors rushed to Berryhill to meet kids at the bus stop. They stood watch, linked arms, and made one thing clear: if the city gets targeted, its children will not face it alone. This is what community looks like.💙

"..federal agents used chemical weapons on protesters at least 49 times in 18 incidents across Chicago and the suburbs since Oct. 1. Federal agents have used chemical irritants at least 30 times since a judge placed restrictions on their use of tear gas and pepper spray."

I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit — all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution. Trump doesn’t understand the Constitution, and we're all less safe for it.

This is an amazing fact

ever since i was a little boy i always knew i wanted to be 38 years old writing short sentences on a website

Is this a joke??? “A deportation judge”??? Judge Judy is now the model for the US justice system. join.justice.gov

THREAD: Judge Ellis is the first federal judge to review extensive body cam video of DHS's actions in Chicago. She finds that DHS *repeatedly* misled the public and made claims that were disproven by agents' own videos. I'll go through some of the most egregious ones here.

Dang - how bad was the Border Patrol invasion in North Carolina? None other than Thom Tillis himself is blasting DHS for gross overreach, and demanding lists of those detained, property damage caused by CBP agents, and their plan for restitution. www.charlotteobserver.com/news/politic...

WTF

It’s fun to think about the surgeon who will botch your surgery 20 years from now and what he’s doing at this moment. He just ran all his homework through ChatGPT. He just read that article about vaccines and autism at the CDC website. He just watched an Instagram video about the moon landing hoax.

J: you don't know? why sent to Atlanta. petitioner raises disturbing statistic. IJ has very high rate of denial for asylum claims. would mr. Molina know? E: dont know why it ended up there. happy to try to find out. J: if you start process over, where would it start? E: dont know. /112

2025 in a news alert

We've updated our Study. New stats (jaw-dropping imho): 1. DOJ noncompliance with court orders: 26 cases 2. Courts’ distrust of government information and representations: Over 60 cases 3. Court findings of arbitrary and capricious government conduct: 68 cases

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged. Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

The U.S. President has responded to a bipartisan video, one reminding service members & intelligence officials of their constitutional duty to disobey unlawful orders - with a public declaration that such actions constitute “seditious behavior… punishable by death.” & the media sleeps
