Sickening behavior by this agent. The fact that Mayor Adams has rolled out the red carpet for ICE is a stain on our city.

I'm a reporter not a political strategist, but one answer to the question of "What can the opposition do?" is "Use the extraordinary investigative powers members of Congress have even when in the minority to get new information courts and journalists can't get."

I’m definitely NOT thinking about the Dave Matthews tour bus incident and definitely NOT hoping for a repeat.

The vast majority of crimes that qualify as domestic terror crimes are committed by right wingers. The opens the door for democratic-led states to investigate the funding sources of right wing militias.

There’s another subplot of the “domestic terror” memo: it directs the JTTF to do its job against domestic terror offenses. JTTF offices are collaborations between federal, state, and local law enforcement. That means blue states can direct their state police to investigate Proud Boys.

Adding “prepare for imminent collapse” to the end of all of my to do lists just in case.

Much better.

Richard Dawkins, friend of Jeffrey Epstein, has contributed to a new book compiled by Lawrence Krauss, friend of Jeffrey Epstein who publicly supported him after his conviction for soliciting child prostitution, in which he argues that recognition of trans people are a threat to women’s rights

The next X years are going to be so tedious and dumb and painful.

"the menswear guy isn't fair and balanced." do you even hear yourself? "fork lady is eroding public confidence." "ladder baby is undermining the credibility of the field." "lemon raccoon is acting without transparency or accountability." that's what you sound like.

Indianapolis residents have shut down a proposed Google data center. The tech giant wanted to build a massive 500 acre facility, but people got organized and stopped them. The $1 billion data center would've used one million gallons of water a day. www.youtube.com/shorts/bhOHy...

I'm convinced they're trying to tank the housing market so 1) their corporate cronies can buy up & rent houses at outrageous rates and 2) force everyone into crappy jobs due to housing insecurity. Americans' financial futures are far too entangled in residential real estate and it's no good stuff.

Random internet trolls should not be able to get away with ruining a good person’s life simply because she (fully legally!) posted a joke about them on the internet. If you have anything to spare to help my friend fight back against this monster please donate.

The big news tonight is two-fold — Trump's "domestic terrorism" memorandum and James Comey's reported indictment — and both are signs that Trump's authoritarianism is here. Now. Both situations, though, show how weak Trump actually is. That will be coming tonight, at Law Dork: www.lawdork.com

So much energy and righteous anger here after the horrifying attack against a woman by an ICE thug earlier today. #ICEoutofNY

i maintain that heretics & apostates are much more useful terms than "not real christians"

do I know anyone who studies icebergs? I need to talk to icebergerians for an article! Please share and thank you! 🧪

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

SEEM like an asshole in the moment, especially if you don't have the context of the mental health issues going on... but it doesn't turn someone into an asshole. Same with alcohol. Kayne West is someone who's very sick. He's also a racist asshat.

Just on Kanye and others. People with mental health problems are people like anyone else. They are literally just like everyone else; some are parents, some are Christians, some are etc. Also, some are assholes. Mental health problems don't MAKE someone an asshole, though it can make someone

For #ClimateWeek, reminder that cars are the largest source of planet-cooking greenhouse gas emissions in California. CA needs to move faster on zero emissions electric rail to get cars off the road. Tell Metrolink by tomorrow to commit to electrification! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

But let’s be clear: every day, masked ICE agents are acting violently against our neighbors, illegally abducting them, holding them in cruel and inhumane conditions. Treating them as less-than-human, and not deserving due process.

Seconds earlier, her husband had been abducted by masked ICE agents who did not identify themselves, did not present a warrant, did not give any lawful grounds for his detention.

chotiner: u always order "...and fries for the table" me: sometimes people's meals do not come with fries chotiner: does your meal always come with fries me: ...yes chotiner: is there anyone else at the table me: chotiner: we can revisit this later

This made me laugh extra hard today

BREAKING: Starbucks just announced a $1 billion restructuring and will close 59 unionized stores — nearly 10% of union locations. It includes the Roastery in Seattle, one of its busiest shops. CEO Brian Niccol made $100 million in four months last year.

Gaza today.

The number of people burned alive inside a Tesla is now .. 148 Statistically that's ~2,5 times more per Tesla (!) than the world's 'most fire hazardous car' ever: the infamous '70s Ford Pinto (Taken out of production for 27 fire deaths After 3.2 million produced) docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Engraving two bullets with "this bullet only lies" and "this bullet only tells the truth" to really stump the FBI

You know what would be cool. If there was a news outlet that tracked the popular pundits and commentators and saw how often they were right.

A coalition of Disney investors has demanded board records explaining why ABC sidelined Jimmy Kimmel’s show under government pressure.

Izolde is an awesome part of our local trans community here in SF, and she regularly comes to Trans Nerd Meet Up. If you can spare any $$ to help her stay housed, please help! <3

What if Colbert ended up being our Churchill? What if the South Park Guys end up like two white American Nelson Mandelas? What if AOC ends up being our own personal Margaret Thatcher? What if Zohran becomes Mugabe? What if Eric Adams stepped into his destiny as America’s Nikita Khrushchev???

CHOTINER: And so your roommate, he buys the groceries? ME: Yes, and I cover the utilities. CHOTINER: But the plums, those were a gift. ME: Now, wait– CHOTINER: Which he was saving, for breakfast? ME: *slamming my fist on the kitchen island* PROBABLY!

CHOTINER: You consider yourself a man of faith. WARDEN NORTON: I believe in the good book; salvation lies within. CHOTINER: I appreciate that, but…if I can ask about lies. Andy Dufresne alleges that you’re involved in money laundering. NORTON: Oh so that was your angle? CHOTINER: Was it obtuse?

CHOTINER: Interesting. And did you in fact share the family-sized bag of Reese’s Pumpkins? ME: (biting into a cyanide pill) Nice try you sneaky motherfucker

CHOTINER: And when was that? MY CAT: I mean at least 14 hours ago CHOTINER: Well hold on. You're telling me you haven't been fed at all today but if I look in your bowl here I see a- MY CAT: An untouched serving, I know, but if you'd let me finish- CHOTINER: Yeah, of course.

but the real answer is that fascists hate expertise. yeah, they're ableist and eugenicist for sure, but they hate people who know things, who are experts, and who are confident and don't back down, and aren't easily bought.

1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it). But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

This is a reminder for those of you not around for the Bush admin James Comey is a bonkers super right-winger. There are so many stories of him meddling illegally to tip the scales toward the right while a US Attorney and FBI. Fascism no matter how right you are will in the end come for you too.

But seriously if anyone has a way to turn this off (already went thru the rigamarole of turning of Gemini) I’m all ears.

Won’t be the first white supremacist on a coin.

It is so funny that putting the release on hiatus probably made things worse for Apple than just letting it air with no fanfare (LIKE ALL APPLE TV SHOWS)

Not really loving this new "feature" on GCal that automatically turns a calendar event into Focus Time the minute you add the word focus in the description.
