i am much more concerned with falling behind the rest of the world in this than i am falling behind in chatbot technology

“They didn’t just walk in chasing one person, they went into multiple rooms asking and looking for teachers while children were present,” Ramirez said. “This is an agency that has gone rogue and it an agency that believes that as long as they can cover their face, they can get away with anything.”

Creating this masterpiece must have been a Herculean task.🫡 @emmatolk

If the sub didn’t split, you must acquit!

i can’t believe a good thing happened we should do this more often

ETA? @andrewcuomo

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video. I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children. But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

Federal agents pulling a woman out of Rayito Del Sol, a daycare by Lane Tech high school

Young people in NYC absolutely showed out and there should be 1000 articles and profiles about this. Because we have had to put up with 1000 MAGA diner stories for years now.

“I wish Andrew Cuomo only the best in private life”

The solution to the male loneliness epidemic is attending a local Democratic Party canvassing event.

we can chalk it up to youth and inexperience but the biggest mistake the mamdani campaign made was winning by 8.8% and not 1.5%, which is the margin needed for the media to say it’s a total mandate

I do think yesterday’s results reinforced the dynamic that while much of the American leadership class is chickenshit, most of the electorate is not

BREAKING: Colorado voters approved a ballot measure that would raise state income taxes on higher-earning households to fund free meals for all public school students. Follow AP for live updates.

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

Mamdani cracks 1M votes, the first NYC mayor to do so since John Lindsay in 1969

Looks like the Dems will pick up 12 seats in the VA House of Delegates, which will go from 51-49 to 63-37 D-R. That's an honestly shocking result.

Bill Ackman gotta be on the third draft of a tweet longer than Middlemarch right now

PLEASE

ATTN: if you’re on the sandwich guy jury, my Signal is in my bio. I’d love to talk after the trial. I’ll keep you anonymous. Please share widely.

They aren't afraid of Mamdani, they are worried about what he would unleash among VOTERS. That those voters would say: "actually, we're not buying this centrist bullshit you've been shoveling for decades, we want something else." That's what's being litigated in these Dem elites are worried essays.

one last observation: donald trump has never won a majority of the vote and yet the political press treats him like the embodied spirit of the american people. will be interesting to see how they discount mamdani as representing new york if he wins less than a majority.

the other thing about this is that there is no reason to pit these candidates against each other? each are good fits for their respective electorates and each shows the value of vigorous campaigns focused on the stated material problems of voters.

yeah why might it be harder for someone to break 50% in a three-way race versus a two-way race. obviously it has something to do with ideology.

I’m sorry, but "That sandwich hasn't exploded at all, HAS IT?" as a question in cross examination is fucking hilarious. I’ve been laughing about it all day.

In Memoriam: Cheney Haunted By People He Didn't Manage To Kill In Iraq War

"Do you recognize that sandwich?"

Big day at U.S. District Court in D.C. where Sean Dunn, the D.C. Sandwich Guy, is on trial for misdemeanor assault of a federal officer. Border Patrol agent Gregory Lairmore is on the stand narrating surveillance video of the sammie toss. 'Now he’s struck me with the sandwich,' Lairmore says.

BREAKING: World outside America exists. Global economy is global. Picking trade fights with everyone at once rather than rallying allies to pressure China together still very stupid.

rip dick cheney, you wouldve loved the illegal war in south america we’re about to start

If someone’s not mourning the death of Dick Cheney in a manner that’s consistent with your views, make sure you set up a database, call their employer, and get them fired.

In a way, I find the authoritarian takeover of our media system even more disturbing than the authoritarian takeover of our political system. Our political system has been failing basically my entire adult life. But, the media system provided accountability and sort of worked. Now it’s collapsing.

People fucking hate this guy. They fucking hate ICE. They fucking hate how much power he has. He is at 63% overall disapproval to 37% approval. That's lower than their poll after January 6th. And this poll was done before he started intentionally starving people. I wish our media would reflect this.

it is kinda funny how Zohran got all the worst people in the world just screamin cryin throwin up droppin to their knees in the lobby of McKinsey like how could this happen

Brett Kavanaugh's behavior during today's second oral arguments has been incredibly obnoxious and rude. He is so eager to kill a service member's lawsuit against a negligent government contractor that he keeps interrupting other justices, raising his voice, and getting emotional. Weird and erratic.

A New York prisoner accused corrections officers of assault and sexual abuse. State officials deemed his claims unfounded despite footage of the encounter.

For years people made fun of big tech for inventing things that already exist and they responded with their magnum opus: inventing fascism. Incredible work

people like this get security details to make themselves feel important

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions "Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

oh cool an extra hour of 2025, exactly what everyone wanted

Here’s a disturbing video from Evanston of a federal agent hitting a man on the ground as people yell that he can’t breathe.

I’ve been watching The Perfect Neighbor and Susan is a nightmare, but during every detective interview with her I’m screaming “STOP TALKING AND ASK FOR AN ATTORNEY YOU DUMBASS!”

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice. This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

Note: This is me — I asked this question. You’ll hear me say “yes you have” here — because Johnson was already *directly asked* about one of these instances (when the Presbyterian minister was shot in the head with a pepper ball) in one of earlier shutdown press conferences.

Ok; that does it. I’ve been asleep this whole time, right? All of this is definitely a nightmare and this clinches it, right?!

lmao

The government of Jamaica has set up a portal for contributing to official relief efforts. I will update this thread if anything analogous opens up for Haiti, Cuba, or the DR supportjamaica.gov.jm

👀 on the record even? let's go

It’s worth noting that if a parent took a minor child across state lines without the permission of the other parent, that would be considered kidnapping. But I guess that’s okay when it’s the federal government. A 13 year old abducted by ICE. What are we doing? open.substack.com/pub/ruthzaka...
