The Senate may choose to vote together on the DHS and LHHS bills. Thus, a filibuster on DHS may mean no funding for NIH. What my colleagues are saying: “Shut it down, public health will understand. I’ll work without pay again.” - anonymous NIHer

One of the reasons why Elon Musk and other folks on the right want to shut down Wikipedia (or "compete" with it). It's a good platform for regular folks to accumulate data, even keep track of all of this administration's atrocities in real time. Great work

Trump administration: “Alex Pretti was a demotic terrorist who planned to massacre as many immigration officers as he could.” Alex Pretti’s last words: “Are you okay?”

Since July, I've tracked at least 2,300 cases in which federal judges have ruled ICE has illegally detained people without bond or due process. This is one that stands out: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

YouGov is out with a new poll after ICE killed another person in Minnesota today. Abolishing ICE is now +5 among all adults, and **+12 among independents** substack.com/@gelliottmor...

Alex Pretti was murdered while trying to protect a woman from being assaulted by federal agents

“Federal agents briefly detained our reporter at the scene, who says he was tackled to the ground and had a gun put in his face.”

Anyone solve this?

That’s “below-zero temperatures” in Fahrenheit. -22 in degrees Celsius. Minneapolis, you’re amazing.

Watching shows nowadays with the remote in hand so I can turn the volume up and down as it jumps between screaming and a faint whisper.

ICE detained a 2-year-old girl in Minneapolis and put the child on a flight to a detention center in Texas, despite a court ordering her release: www.startribune.com/agents-detai...

Police have arrived. Arrests seem imminent. The crowd chants “let them pray” and “Minnesota nice means prosecute ICE”

The 5-year-old arrested by ICE In Minnesota is detained at Dilley. We reported on conditions there in the below article. Parents said the food was contaminated with mold and worms & that children were so under so much stress that they were hitting their own faces & wetting themselves.

I'll say yet again: Trump & his party do something virtually every day that constitutes a more violent & alarming suppression of speech than anything that happened during the entire alleged tyranny of woke. Every day. Yet the entire Free Spech army has just vanished into mist.

I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life.

Seems like politicians should be able to win on the "using children as bait" issue... Like, what politician wants to defend this?

"An agent came to my side and said, "You are under arrest." I just held my hands in the air and I waited for instruction... At one point, one said to my friend: “You need to stop. You need to stop obstructing us. That's why that lesbian bitch is dead.” www.wired.com/story/how-ic...

Just had a $42 Uber ride. The driver said he gets $17 (drivers don't see the total paid.) That's an insane cut going to Uber, who pays nothing for gas, maintenance, training, etc...

The U.S. auto export market is going to collapse as countries get sick of Trump's nonsense and open up to China. insideevs.com/news/784657/...

A separate video shows Nick Fuentes, Tristan Tate, Sneako, and Clavicular rolling up to the club in a party van singing along to "Heil Hitler" and doing sieg heils.

This is nuts. World leaders are trying to do diplomacy. Trump is screenshotting and posting private messages from heads of state like it’s a gossip session.

hey, a reminder that space is fucking cool and Webb is taking cool pictures of it science.nasa.gov/missions/web...

New from 404 Media: ICE's facial recognition app, which the agency is using to decide who to detain and deport, misidentified a woman. Twice. ICE says results of the app are definitive and override a birth certificate; obviously this case shows the app is inaccurate www.404media.co/ices-facial-...

If we didn't have it before, this should cement the U.S.'s reputation as the dumbest country in the world.

The thing every expert said would happen happened.

So in the end, what does this article amount to? Republicans are telling the same lie about welfare that they've told for 40 years despite consistent efforts — including many led by Democrats — to restrict and police it. And in response, Democrats should restrict and police it even more.

"All attorneys ABC News spoke to called the DHS denial a blatant lie, citing their own personal experiences as proof." this gov't lies and lies and lies and then lies some more

Minneapolis and Saint Paul have basically mobilized into a war economy of mutual aid and non-violent defense. I’ve never seen anything like it, even during Covid. People who barely vote are guarding their schools from ICE and doing the shopping for neighbors in hiding.

I saw this take on TikTok a few days ago and wanted to share it here. I had to truncate it because it's a bit longer than 3 minutes. Her central argument is the US govt has a problem in that decades of stochastic terrorism from gun culture has made us less scared of guns.

The problem with running solely on typical "normie" economic issues and downplaying the authoritarianism is that if the economy doesn't immediately improve (and it won't...), the "normies" will just switch right back to voting for the authoritarians.

hard not to notice that as trump's polls crater and gop gets crushed in election after election, news orgs are not racing around hiring progressive commenters and boasting about how they're reaching out to real americans by following the will of the volk.

Between Mamdani and Spanberger, the establishment of "instantly repeal all the bullshit the last pig put in place" as Democratic priority #1 for both democratic socialists and ex-CIA types is an extremely heartening development.

ICE and MAGA really did bet the farm on all of Minneapolis’s white people going “oh yes, please take away our disgusting, evil non-white-foreigner neighbors, oh thank you so much.” it’s beautiful that they’ve been proven incredibly wrong about that - may the rest of the country do the same.

If we attack a NATO ally, that's the end of the United States as a world power, no? The dollar gets dropped, our military bases across the globe are shut down, our companies shut out of a significant percentage of the world. Am I being hyperbolic here?

How much more in your face can it be? "Why are you asking me for my paperwork?" "Because of your accent." "You have an accent too." "Where were you born sir?" "Where were you born at?" "Put your hands behind your back."

Sometimes I still wonder if day one of financial reporting class is just "Post hoc ergo propter hoc" written on the blackboard.

The Republican Party is a crime ring, exhibit #4,632.

DC statehood now. Puerto Rico statehood now. VI statehood now. Guam statehood now. It is ridiculous that American democracy fails its citizens at such a basic level.

🚨WHOA. The El Paso Medical Examiner says it will rule the death of a 55-year-old Cuban man at ICE's "Camp East Montana" tent camp as a homicide. He was allegedly choked to death by a guard during a "struggle" after he refused to enter a housing unit without his medications.

Psychophysics is a human-facing science with interventions arguably more robust than medicine.

I started reading up on the whole "loneliness pandemic" narrative because this seems like a literature where the age-period-cohort problem may be relevant (or maybe it isn't?). Here's data from Australia (HILDA), average agreement with the statement "I often feel very lonely" (SD of ca. 1.8).>

A gross generalization maybe, but even on Bluesky, the reward structure encourages outrage baiting and punishes politeness and assuming good intentions. We're all in our cars, calling the other drivers around us dumbasses for being stuck in the same traffic jam we are in.

That is what was relayed

The Supreme Court only cleared the way for Kavanaugh Stops four months ago and ICE now openly engages in violent racial profiling, snatching anyone who looks non-white and treating them as presumptively guilty of a crime. Remarkable how quickly our liberties can be crushed when courts go along.

What were the main causes behind the collapse of the United States back in the mid- to late 2020s? Here's my overview: www.internationalaffairsfornormalpeople.eu/why-the-us-c...

Too many significance tests!! Made this little graphic for my #stats class, showing the various kinds of (N)HST and how interpreting confidence intervals can replace all of them. Made with #rstats #ggplot (duh)

My wife struggled with Afib during pregnancy and we live in NC. It is super scary, and makes pregnancy miserable. We were lucky to live near good hospitals. This is infuriating. Politicians sticking their grubby little ideologies in places they don't belong. "First in Freedom", my ass...
