Could you even imagine if President Obama made the troops sit through a a doc about Michelle??

Hegseth, whose preferred pronoun is "Secretary of War", continues war crimes.

“A few days ago, sunspot 4366 didn't exist. Now it is a behemoth almost half the size of the great Carrington sunspot. Rapid growth is making the sunspot unstable. It has unleashed dozens of solar flares in past 24 hours, including a powerful X8-class flare” www.spaceweather.com

It is a notable ruling, but the situation is dire if we have to hold what remains of democratic norms together with duct tape and a few judges with integrity.

This video covers the controversy. I think the bakery owner has a strong civil case. As for Dr. Oz, Armenian is not a dialect of Russian, you fuckwit. Have you no judgement or decency? youtu.be/Dst3EkXzdCE?...

That's from an official channel from a government agency created in response to the September 11th attacks. The creation of the DHS was the largest reorganization in 50 years. The bill that created it passed with huge bipartisan support, 90-9-1 in the Senate. Now it's run by douchebags.

multiple trump-created crises converging with deadly results.

Both the murders of Alex Pretti and Renée Good should be investigated properly by the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice and the State of Minnesota, just like the George Floyd murder was. We need to demand our representatives act and not let the DHS bury it.

This argument isn't the win they think it is. It demonstrates motive for the murder of Alex Pretti, especially if the same agents were involved in the earlier video.

Again, weaponizing the FBI to chase ghosts and cast doubt on the 2020 elections.

I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work. I don’t let bullies win. Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.

"ICE will leave Minnesota if you hand over your voter rolls" tells you everything you need to know. This was never about immigration or fraud. It was always about rigging elections.

Bondi is just acting like a mob leader at this point. "Hey, Minnesota. Shame that there's violence in your streets. If only there were some way to stop this."

There are many similar cases. US Citizens, arrested, detained abused, and then released without charges. The last part doesn't make the previous actions okay. It's unlawful action systemically conducted by the federal government in violation of the 4th Amendment. It's state terror.

So researchers are going to communicate with Signal chat now? Or just meet in dark alleys? ("Psst...have you seen the latest results on antibiotic-resistant Mycobacterium leprae mutations? // Shit, no! MAHA is sort of pro-leprosy now.")

Just showed up at the San Antonio immigration court. I’m here as an observer. People are coming here for their required appearances; people following the law. It’s 8:15am and the place is already swarming with armed ICE officers, waiting to arrest peaceful, legal immigrants.

Researchers found evidence that common vampire bats living along Peru’s coast were exposed to H5N1 during a massive outbreak of the virus that started in late 2022. https://scim.ag/4pyxuob

This article provides more data showing how easy it is to manipulate humans on social media. These researchers rerouted the algorithm on Twitter to push some users toward “antidemocratic attitudes and partisan animosity”. It only took 1 week to elicit changes that used to take 3 years.

Sitting on top of my pile of old Nokia cables like Smaug.

There is a significant fraction of the voting population that does not have positive views of the Kremlin. Democratic strategists undervalue this fact. I think it's because of McCarthyism. But today we can just say "Kremlin bad" without guilt, and it is a powerful tool.

At least Wise's article mentions stochastic parrots, but I think it should be earlier and covered in more depth. Chalmers and Searle are philosophers, not scientists. That doesn't mean they are wrong but it muddies the claim. Searle lost his emeritus status for sexual harassment.

I don't think we're going to have a successful Amazon boycott till we break their monopoly on indie books. They have a clever strategy to build their monopoly, which any functional government would have banned: if you want your indie book listed in Kindle Unlimited, you have to be exclusive. 🧵

“Please, please don’t mention the 10,000 litres of fossil fuels I’m transporting, let’s talk instead about how ‘green’ the 100 litres of HVO that fuels this lorry is”.

NEW — I spoke to DoorDash about the White House claiming the company's report shows "inflation has been tamed" and whether that's an interpretation one should make. An economist also weighed in, pointing out dictatorships use data obfuscation as a tool, and right now they're "grasping at straws."

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

As SNAP hangs in the balance for nearly 42 million people, misinformation is rampant. Myths of laziness and fraud persist when we should be talking about too low wages for workers, income inequality, and our threadbare social safety net. In this guest post, Adam Chandler sorts fact from fiction:

It's not in this article but the government asserts that the sandwich was thrown at "point blank range", which implies subway sandwiches have defined effective weapon ranges of varying lethality, and I would like to see the government's chart of these ranges.
