Good analysis of what's been happening so far, but I think it all hinges on the midterms now, and to what degree they will still be a free and fair election. youtu.be/jLwHQIiL6gU?...

They want to wipe out almost a third of the country. It’s got nothing to do with illegal immigration. It’s white nationalism pure and simple. They’re fascists, and there’s no reason to doubt it.

I remember visiting Bulgaria in 2013 and being annoyed at having to deal with a different currency. Next time will be easier!

Dated August 2019, so referring to Trump.

Please.

Woman comes to US at age 6. Graduates nursing school. Work permit. No criminal record. Snatched and imprisoned by ICE for 6 months now. About to be forced back to Honduras. A life destroyed and one less nurse. Merry Christmas. www.nola.com/news/educati...

This is the worst case scenario that everybody was worried about

I take off my robe and wizard hat

It's hard for me to understand how React's Suspense functionality can remain so needlessly broken for over a year now. Apps that could show data *instantly* now always show a loader for at least 300ms, and there's no way to configure this minimum delay. github.com/facebook/rea...

Some of these redactions are almost like modern art

Putin chastising people who disagree with him to “read the new US National Security Strategy” highlights how “collusion or not?” doesn’t really matter when there’s so much convergence. The Trump regime’s goals in Europe heavily overlap with Russia’s. Anti-democracy, anti-freedom, anti-EU, anti-NATO.

Christ, what an asshole.

It’s revealing that many MAGA people responding to this simply don’t believe it’s true. This defilement of the White House and the Presidency is too much for even his fans. Can anyone now deny that his mental health is declining scary fast?

BREAKING on MS NOW: Jack Smith, in his opening statement to House Judiciary, says: "Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election and to prevent the lawful transfer of power."

The RFK, jr effect.

Apparently we’ve established that if the US can seize the largest tanker off Venezuela, it can just as easily seize a small, alleged drug boat without murdering the occupants.

First Russia, now AfD

There's no war, they were not combatants, and there was no trial either. And if there had been a trial (once they had left international waters and entered the US!) and they had been found guilty of trafficking drugs, there's no death penalty for that either. Just first-degree murder.

Are you using target relabeling rules in @prometheus.io? I wrote a short blog post about the new relabeling rule visualizer I built that just got released with Prometheus v3.8.0, and which can help you make sense of your rules: prometheus.io/blog/2025/12...

Prime Minister Mark Carney's government announces that Canada is realigning Canada's economy away from the United States.

No one will stop me from defending our freedoms.

If they ever get around to building this thing, it should be bulldozed on Day 1 of a new administration. No messing around, no hemming and hawing about procedure or costs. Order heavy equipment in and start knocking it down immediately, as surely as an overthrown tyrant's statues would be torn down.

“What is remigration, which the Department of Homeland Security is calling for?” It’s this:

Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

This is a non-political department ostensibly staffed by careerists and they are putting out anti-vax propaganda. It’s hard to tell someone that this can happen, but economic data would never get altered…

My theories on why libertarians often admire dictators: * Unbridled libertarianism is also just the right of the strongest. * Libertarians hate bureaucracy and rules. Dictatorships can be fast, and if you manage to be on the side of the dictator, they will let you do anything. * Shared sociopathy.

It's Friday, and apparently bluesky is ready for this fun revelation: Dinosaurs lived on the other side the Galaxy.

In Trump's "peace plan" for Ukraine, which seems to have been literally dictated by the Russians and then translated badly to English (see newrepublic.com/post/203517/...), I guess the only point that is still missing from it is that Ukraine needs to apologize for defending itself.

Anyone in Berlin interested in an old rad1obadge from Chaos Communication Camp 2015? (otherwise 🗑️)

mr president sir theres a story coming about how you intervened to help a sex criminal. no sir, not that sex criminal you helped….no not that one either…sir, please stop guessing sex criminals that you helped. ill give you a hint sir, hes a trafficker. no sir, not that trafficker a different one

I think I just found the best explainer video on YouTube youtu.be/eKUEZY3R3cI?...

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer. He is a computer safety researcher. And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine. In under 1600 words. aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...

Ever had trouble understanding / debugging your target relabeling rules in @prometheus.io? I just added a visualizer to the Prometheus server that allows you to see how each rule is applied to a discovered target and what the outcome is: github.com/prometheus/p...

"Let them eat cake" 👑

Fuck, man… 😐😐 For comparison, looks like it looked this way before. The whole right side building and the passage between it and the main one is gone… you couldn't ask for a better symbol of what he's doing :|

Amazing PromCon EU 2025 edition in Munich 🇩🇪, ending up meeting the @juliusv.com & the Prometheus maintainers and contributors. Looking forward to the next edition👏

America is being run by people whose social media presence would see them getting fired from a part time job stacking shelves. If you worked at Aldi and posted a video of you pouring shit all over Aldi customers, you wouldn't work at Aldi.

(1/4) I'm soft launching nooki.me to get some early traction and feedback on what to improve. Excited to see how this platform grows!

I will not back down. Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power. What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

This would explain so much

Surreal moment for America. Needless to say, if the normal police ever pulled something like this — pulling every single person out of an apartment building and handcuffing them to run warrant checks — they would be sued into oblivion. Yet ICE is going to get away with it entirely.

TIL there's a "For You" feed on here at bsky.app/profile/did:...

MADELEINE DEAN: The president is unhinged. He's unwell JOHNSON: A lot of folks on your side are too D: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals? J: I didn't see it D: It's so dangerous! Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing. You have a POTUS who's unwell.

As a resident of #Portland it is impossible to capture how unhinged this is. We are a low crime city and the ICE protest "siege" consists of one auxiliary ICE office that normally has at most a dozen weirdos debating what performance art they should use to block a single driveway

Currently in Portland and I can assure you the city is not "at war" or even mildly disrupted. I had no idea any protests were even happening until news of this troop deployment. Personal reporting but o not believe their pretexts, it's just not true.

How long until the Trump administration just illegally seizes or blocks domains that critics use for their internet identity (website, AT Protocol, etc.)? Either by forcing ISPs into adopting DNS or IP-level blocks or actually seizing the domains for TLDs that it can somehow get control over?
