"Yes, superb human film made for human consumption. But this night you speak of, is it Saturday? And will it be live?" But spoken through a mouthful of chewed pills.

I'm starting to think the Trumpist mastery of propaganda is failing them. The DHS agents posing this way makes it look like they're ashamed of themselves.

Be the kind of Secretary of Homeland Security and/or Homeland Security Advisor that *doesn't* get name dropped in a Springsteen anthem.

I was just listening to Chimes of Freedom and Trapped and, hey look at that.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

This is your regular reminder that the data broker industry must be destroyed.

If you're a barred attorney and you think the text messages a guy on the ground sent in the days prior has any bearing on whether its justifiable to shoot him in the back, you should be disbarred. You are unfit to draft a memo.

"You can’t fund a policy vision on ideas alone, and you can’t fund universal childcare and infrastructure renewal only budgeting for periods of boom. Hochul’s budget may dodge some political pain today, but it leaves the state vulnerable tomorrow." news.bloombergtax.com/tax-insights...

Thus begins the backpedaling. Required to cooperate — or else what? Says who? CBP is literally just moved to where future victims will be less visible and drawn from more precarious populations? When the body cam footage goes missing and the churches and schools are violated, what happens?

I bet he calls it a “tactical haircut.”

Greg Bovino sadly filling one steamer trunk after another with elaborate fashy overcoats, the teargas canisters he always has bouncing around on him like labubus, and dozens of "chest-belts." They will be shipped ahead of him as he prepares to return to his home, which is a men's size 10 boot.

This is the hack to never suffer from age-related memory loss. If you first forget the very act of forgetting, you're unshippable.

Heard an ad for the Melania move in the preroll for NYT The Daily and immediately unsubscribed. Should have done so some time ago.

Huge distinction to be made between your dingaling uncle that has come around and some political ghoul now looking to protect their own political future by wrapping themselves in outrage. Orders of magnitude differences in moral culpability.

this is a fake problem. no one is saying this to regular, offline people who are coming around. they’re saying it to people who are engaged in professional political analysis who committed professional malpractice by scolding people who saw what was coming. no, those people shouldn’t get a break.

Obviously incredibly frivolous utter nonsense in light of ... everything. But, nonetheless, this one was fun to do. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/l...

Opinion: If the federal government is abandoning partnership enforcement, states—especially high-income states—have every reason to step in, as a pool of trained, experienced partnership auditors are suddenly available.

If I woke up from a coma to this I’d go right back in.

I hope someone somewhere is keeping a list of all the specific things that need to be undone.

That sounds like its worth more like a year of free haircuts ... and a comb!

This was the point in the bus thread where I started to wonder if it was a metaphor for this present moment in time.

Aww hell yeah man. What if the dog isn't dead, it's just resting? What if tomorrow remembers us better than today ever could? What if the dream didn't die, it just changed its name? What if I'm stronger now because I broke back then? What if letting go is another form of holding on?

When all the accounts are called in and accounted for, I have to imagine it'll be an order of magnitude more than this. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

We're playing a lot of one-time-use cards in economic policy and getting essentially no returns.

One thing most people don't understand is that we in the US enjoy greater wealth funded by other countries because they assume we are a stable and relatively friendly hegemon.

For California and other states that want to support EV adoption, a modest rebate program won’t cut it. They’ll need lawyers, coordinated strategies among states, and a willingness to fight a legal and regulatory war of attrition. news.bloombergtax.com/tax-insights...

When beef tallow ruins MAHA’s cardiovascular system we are going to have some odd bedfellows in the Medicare for all space.

Is it SOP to film these kinds of interactions? Why are supposed LEOs treating the population they're ostensibly there to serve and protect like exhibits at a human zoo?

Today in my Law, Tech, and Reg class we’re following up on a student question about copyrights and video game gameplay videos. Super interesting stuff I’ve never directly considered.

If a website appeared overnight that gave hundreds of millions of users the opportunity to create CSAM you'd expect governments to shut it down quickly, so the question is why X gets a pass when it's done just that? www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Starting to reckon the frogs do know the water is moving towards a boil, there is just nothing they can do about it.

The realistic part of me will say that you should not assume this is some sort of open and shut case against the officer, either in civil court or in criminal court (if any kind of charges were brought, which I doubt).

I would say even for those of us who spend a lot of time reading police shooting cases from the courts of appeals and watching the related videos - and that is a shocking and dismaying experience, I promise you - that one is pretty shocking.
