So SCOTUS, with its fabricated-out-of-thin-air immunity doctrine, has actually made American presidents less accountable than LITERAL royalty.

Just gonna point out again (and again and again) that Grok and X and other apps that create this kind of sexual imagery are still available on the Apple App Store by Apple, the safest place on Earth (citation: Apple marketing materials).

Just gifted another filament spool, and it looks like it's going to someone pretty local to me! WOOT. :)

Any Republican or Democrat who continues to support Palantir, takes money from them, or refuses to hold them accountable is not your friend and should not be supported.

BREAKING — WE WON! DC Superior Court Judge Darlene Soltys ordered the DC Metropolitan Police to produce ALL body cam footage of the March 2025 DOGE raid on the US Institute of Peace within 14 days. Thanks to my @rcfp.org lawyers for their tireless work. Details on thehandbasket.co later today!

Your ego is gonna show you every time where you haven’t done the work, and that fucking stings I know, but each time choose curiosity over defensiveness and you’ll be growing in leaps and bounds

This guy (@glutelord.bsky.social) is correct about a lot of the discourse around "looksmaxxing" and so much of guys' ideas of what men should look like, and he should keep saying it.

Wow.

‘The kids don’t get days off. Nor should you’: my secret life as a paedophile hunter on the dark web

last month the US secretly deported nine asylum seekers to cameroon where they’ve been trapped at a local government-owned compound until they agree to return to their home countries where they face persecution and death. none have history of violence.

I just heard someone say on TV that use of the term "concentration camps" to describe ICE facilities was "very strong language." I think ICE's concentration camps are very strong abuses of human rights.

There is no way this is a coincidence. I worked with David at @npr.org, and NotebookLM sounds *precisely* like him, including his conversational cadence.

So I carved off a lean chunk of the steak before cooking it, And made sure to set it on the edge of my plate, after I was done. And then to look the other way. To let her steal it. I got her her favorite thing, for her birthday - Crime.

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

Leonard Leo is a lawyer, but he's never argued a case in court. He's never held elected office. But for years he rebuilt the American legal system, resulting in the Supreme Court's right-wing supermajority. (Published Oct. 2023)

mods on vacation. time to deep fry a turkey inside the house

Hey I'm back! As some of you know, I experienced some scary harassment here last month when a user threatened me and the sanctuary I work for and I was shocked when they received only a 3-day suspension for that. I have now been assured that the offending account is permanently suspended, and

Vaguely recall how Biden admin emails to Twitter were the biggest attack on free speech ever. There was a whole twitter files thing about that. Curious where are Elon, Taibbi, Bari and crew on this?

there’s a longer version here in which our hero follows up by telling him “you can go peacefully fuck yourself” after he claims to be “peacefully standing for my beliefs”

IT'S HAPPENING! @nora.zone is setting up a Gavin's Priors bot and we need YOUR HELP to populate it. Email or DM me for spreadsheet access so you can contribute!

CURLING BEEF! CURLING BEEF! CURLING BEEF! CURLING BEEF! (I never post Olympic videos bc the IOC will hunt you down but I am taking that risk so that you can hear the Canadian curling cursing)

Old enough to remember when Republicans thought armed agents pointing a gun at a scared little Latino boy was an outrage. "Stormtroopers," they said. "Jackbooted thugs."

You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

a reminder that it's free to be kind

Over 1,000 Ubisoft workers around the world have walked off the job. In response to a return-to-office mandate, layoffs, and the cancellation of several games, workers launched a three-day strike. The workers walked out in response to five French unions issuing the strike call.

This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.

what I most appreciate about this update: when I first heard of this story I *do* recall thinking "no this isn't dumb enough" bsky.app/profile/tyle...

Over on threads someone just use ai;dr and we all need to adopt that right quick

PASSED: the House just passed the resolution to end Trump's tariffs on Canada. Not many crosses from Republicans, a lot of vulnerable incumbents took a dumb vote here to stick with Trump and GOP leadership. Goes to the Senate, which is likely to pass it. Will share the vote sheet when I have it!

UM @info.radio-canada.ca AND @patriceroy.bsky.social YOU PUT THE WRONG WOMAN ON SCREEN AS THE MASS SHOOTER OFF THE TOP OF YOUR SHOW!!!!! My GOD. You need to retract and apologize NOW!!!

I'm a Gallup pollster. You can contact them at [email protected] to let them know what you think of this.

At the urging of my office, the FAA is rightfully lifting the Temporary Restricted Airspace. I will again reiterate there is no threat to El Paso or the surrounding areas.

The FAA is closing the airspace around El Paso International Airport in Texas for 10 days, grounding all flights to and from the airport, for “special security reasons." The FAA's notice did not provide additional details.

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

The FAA has issued a separate security NOTAM for Santa Teresa, New Mexico, banning all flight operations in the affected area for the same time window and altitude limits as the El Paso airspace closure, citing “special security reasons.”

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

A dresser inside a museum in New York City has been discovered as a secret stop on the Underground Railroad — the first of its kind discovered in Manhattan in over 100 years

HOOOOOO boy. Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-N.J.): "Do you consider yourself a religious man?" Lyons: "Yes ma'am." McIver: "How do you think Judgement Day will work for you with so much blood on your hands?" "Do you think you're going to hell, Mr. Lyons?"

The last year has aged me in overt ways none of the previous years ever did. I'm weary. I look weary. I know I'm not alone in this. But we have to press on.

Her community rallied so fast and so diligently. This is a victory to uphold and celebrate. Reminds everyone that it's worth fighting back.

When I asked people why the whistles matter, I got inspiring answers. I'm going to thread (🧵) a few, starting with @mostlybree.kitrocha.com:

Disappointed to learn Bad Bunny wore Zara, effectively promoting the brand to millions. Although Zara has made admirable strides to address labor conditions, fast fashion can never be ethical because it depends on rapid production and cheap prices, which results in worker exploitation.

Epic. A Ukrainian Air Force F-16 takes out a Russian-Iranian Shahed-136 at a close distance. The witnesses are extremely happy and supportive 😀

Lemme tell you, getting unmarked ziploc bags of 200 whistles in my mailbox made me feel like I was a freaking spy.
