thread about X’s new TOS. tldr is musk can now sue users for any reason in a TX court he basically owns, so he’ll almost certainly win. and this is a platform politicians and journalists largely refuse to leave.

"Data doesn't mean shit unless it generates conversations that lead to action." ― Jared Correia on the importance of data. Lot of truth there. I've worked with a lot of firms that invested a lot of time/energy into collecting data they never looked at or thought about again.

Jens Spahn ist der Viktor Orban der deutschen Politik. Und so lange die CDU das nicht klärt, wird sie als Partei nicht deutsche und europäische Interessen in dieser kritischen Phase voll vertreten. Spahn ist keine Randfigur, sondern faktisch die Nummer 2 hinter Merz.

ICE agents at a hotel in St. Paul woke up this morning to news that they’re getting kicked out of their hotel today at noon.

I don't think Trump comes out at all well from a violent clash between a Dem Congress and MAGA White House leading to Bovino and Homan trying to re-enact Jan 6 2021 with guns. But I reckon Miller and others around Trump would be desperate and deluded enough to talk themselves into it.

Is that °C or ° F?

Not exactly shocking that a female scientist was not acknowledged for a key role in a breakthrough discovery (Google Matilda effect) but I hugely admire how she constantly fought back to get the recognition she deserved www.thetimes.com/article/92f2...

the Nordic light we're getting this week is incredible

it's crazy that there's isopod species spanning from the deep ocean to arid deserts while still looking basically the same. this is a message against fast fashion trend chasing. find a look that is truly timeless and for all locations, like the isopod body plan

Update: The admin is moving to quickly deport witnesses who saw ICE detainee die. They say the man was just trying to get his meds. ICE guards shackled him Then they choked him. The admin moved to deport the witnesses — right after they spoke to WaPo. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

Das Regime spricht von 5000 Toten, iranische Ärzte von rund 16.500 Toten und 330.000 Verletzten - das ist vermutlich das schrecklichste und größte Massaker an Demonstrierenden, das es jemals auf der Welt gegeben hat. Was macht die Bundesregierung? www.tagesspiegel.de/internationa...

I'm not saying Trump is a Russian asset, just that I can't think of anything he'd be doing differently if he were.

The Washington Post continues to be one of the best drivers of subscriptions to Democracy Docket. Every time it publishes shit like this, more people seek out independent, pro-democracy media that won't bend a knee to Trump. Sign-up now! hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

1. Yesterday I was fortunate enough to visit the Alfa Romeo museum in Milan. What a gorgeous museum of design. Over the next few days I'll be posting a thread of pictures from my visit. Here's a teaser.

Protesters clashed with federal agents for another night outside the Whipple Federal Building, which holds ICE detainees. Agents fired less-lethal munitions and deployed chemical irritants at the crowd. 📷️: Jeff Wheeler

American citizens denied phone calls; having to beg for water and bathroom access. Masses of despondent detainees of color packed into holding cells:

For the past year, Europeans have grudgingly endured the pains of Trump's foreign policy for the sake of guaranteeing America's engagement in Ukraine. Now the White House presents Europeans with an impossible choice: give up Greenland or give up Ukraine.

Fight and help win a world war. Establish a global order that cements your national power for 80 years. Blow it all up. What am I missing?

If the 11th airborne gets the go order, I hope they jump in. It would be beyond stupid, and for a deployment this fucking dumb just take it the whole way.

it's more or less impossible to find issues that poll this badly and he's decided to make it a major, public priority www.cbsnews.com/news/ice-tru...

BRENNAN: You said 'occupying force.' Don't you think that's a bit much? FREY: When you have 3,000 ICE agents and CBP come to your city, when you've got this supposed threat of 1,500 military coming to your city, that's very much what it feels like

Reading through the legal act of the EU's Anti-Coercion Instrument - and its definition on "coercion" reads like it was written for Trump's action: A third country threatening to apply trade measures (here tariffs) interfering in the sovereign choices of an EU member states (Denmark on Greenland).

It's interesting to watch analysts and officials shaped by a world in the 90s and 00s that assumed an inevitable onward march of free trade and benevolent US hegemony struggle to adapt to a US president willing to destroy its foundations Even though signs of these risks were already visible by 2003

Gallego: "I think ICE needs to be totally torn down. People want immigration enforcement that goes after criminals and focuses on criminals, not the goon squad that has come from Stephen Miller and Donald Trump."

With Americans now I think Europeans need to be as blunt about how bad the breakdown of relations between US and Europe has become to get US pro- as well as anti-Trump elites steeped in hubris of exceptionalism to understand how much work they will need to do to restore the trust an alliance needs

During the height of UK's Brexit crisis between 2016-2020 I arrived at the view that there was no point in being gentle when explaining the mess the UK was in towards the EU to a UK elite that whether pro- or anti-Brexit was steeped in illusions of national greatness. With Americans now...

Es sagt etwas über den Zustand der strategischen Debatte in 🇩🇪 aus, dass Positionen, die Trumps Faschismus verharmlosen, die rasche Erosion der US-Demokratie verschweigen und dem Imperialen Trumpismus Verständnis entgegenbringen, nicht als Skandal und inakzeptable intellektuelle Beleidigung gelten.

“Nazis are, to the last man, fucking cowards.”

This is a mobster telling a shop owner that the police can't protect them, only they can.

Friedrich Merz hat 20 Jahre des qualvollen Abwartens und einen würdevollen Ruhestand geopfert nur um die jeden Tag mitzuteilen, dass du nicht gut genug bist und er dich und deinen Lebensentwurf hasst. Ist doch auch eine beachtenswerte Leistung.

Hot like hell, I guess

Die Anzahl der Menschen, die ich mit dem zarten Klaps einer Dachlatte ins Moor schubsen möchte, steigt täglich.

Das iranische Regime lässt weibliche Gefangene vergewaltigen, um ihre Hinrichtung „rechtens“ zu machen. Es ist so unfassbar. Via @henmazzig.bsky.social auf 𝕏

Auch die Verbündeten von MAGAstan in Asien machen „gute Erfahrungen“ mit ihren „Freunden“.
