Were they ICE or were they Patriot Front? Because both like to pile in U-Hauls and I can't see much difference between them thetriibe.com/2025/09/feds...

This is why we fund scientists to study things like oyster slobber even if you don’t think it sounds important

Had a great chat with @kuow.org about antifa today - the history of the term, how MAGA made antifa into a bogeyman, & how far right militias occupied entire towns in the PNW in 2020 because of fake antifa rumors. Listen here: www.kuow.org/stories/what...

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

NEW: Sen. Tammy Duckworth is calling for Pete Hegseth to resign. "If this PR stunt proved anything, it's that the best thing Pete Hegseth can do to strengthen our military is resign in disgrace immediately."

Completely agree on this

NEW — An estimated 40 people were taken by federal agents in an overnight raid in South Shore, a predominantly-Black neighborhood on Chicago’s South Side. A couple who live nearby said they were shocked to see the enormous militarized raid in their community. thetriibe.com/2025/09/feds...

Powerful

Hillary Clinton referred to SOME Trump supporters as”deplorable,” and the political media had a meltdown. Trump refers to all Democrats as anti-American radical communists and “the enemy within,” and it’s no big deal. His reckless and dangerous demonization has been fully normalized.

Hi Donald!

If "AI" was as valuable as they say it is, they wouldn't be selling it to you. They'd be using it themselves in secret to make the next Minecraft, the next Avatar, the next Hello Kitty and then they'd sell that to you. They're trying to sell you a sick goose, while pretending it lays golden eggs.

I am seeing news that AI companies face “unexpected” obstacles in scaling up their AI systems. Not unexpected at all, of course. Completely predictable from the Ingenia theorem.

This reinforces one of my thoughts about Machine Learning. A good algorithm should work with a modicum of data. If you need to scrape all the written works in the English language to make a language model, your algorithm sucks, and you're a lazy developer.

The whole “it’s the left’s fault the right supports censorship” bullshit is rubes and propagandists trying to save face for being useful idiots or willing accomplices for the greatest censorship campaign since the red scare. Otherwise they’d have to admit to being wrong bsky.app/profile/jeff...

And it gets even stupider. The Trump admin is now about to shell out gazillions of our tax payer money in commodities bail outs to the farmers who are losing so much income & accruing debt bc the Trump admin willfully fucked them over with these dumb af policies!

VERY FUCKING STUPID. And harmful. Colossally so.

In other words, the gaggle of utter dipshits running the gov’t that is the Trump Admin caused a huge loss in trade revenue & US farmer income w/ a nonsensical trade war w/ our biggest soybean buyer (China), that just made a sweet ag deal w/ Argentina right after US bought billions in Argentine debt

Ask her abt soybeans, China, Argentina, & Trump’s trade war & how she, Treas Sec, & the admin are so nefariously stupid they fucked our country, esp the farmers they feign to care abt, by gifting billions in tax payer $ to Argentina & its nat’l bank while China did a sweet ag trade deal w/ Argentina

The Secretary of Leviticus has convinced me to plant some banana trees in our back yard so wish me luck!

There we are.

"How dare this former National Guard major" my god

Castro also says she believes children were taken. A nearby resident who witnessed the raid, but wished not to be named, corroborated he saw children brought out. "They were bringing babies out naked... that's kidnapping," the neighbor said.

I have yet to see a day-to-day AI use case for most average users that's worth the resource cost. And I say that as someone who likes long, scalding-hot showers and very cold AC.

"Republicans run the entire government but can't keep it open" That's it. That's the whole story.

We're going to see more of that because of what Hegseth announced today. You want to break the US military? This is how you break it. There aren't enough Hegseth types to actually field an Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, or Space Force. 7/

US farmers are saying they "just need temporary help, until things get better." Here's the thing. US farm exports- which are mostly soy- CANNOT get better. Other countries expanded their soy industries to fill China's demand. We've walled ourselves out of the global market, folks. This is it.

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

Two senior Republican appropriators agree it doesn't make any sense for Democrats to agree to a government funding deal unless Trump actually adheres to the deal. The Democratic alternative CR had language that would address this, but the White House came out strongly against.

Imagine under a Bernie Sanders admin, Congressional Rs and Ds agreed to give a 5% increase to DOD in exchange for big boosts to housing and nutrition. And then Bernie decided to just illegally ignore it and actually cut defense 10%. That’s what Trump is doing. How can you make a deal under that?

If you are a person interested in becoming a Democratic senator in Pennsylvania, Maine, or Nevada - I've got good news for you.

People are dying in ICE camps. They’re being disabled, mistreated and denied basic medical care. They’re being disappeared. Don’t let all the distractions make you forget the 1,000 people who’ve gone missing from Alligator Alcatraz. Or the thousands of others being kidnapped every single day.

I do not understand why they cannot get the headlines right. Just follow the gop playbook! “Repubs control it all! The shutdown is on them!” As nauseum. Don’t lead with the nuance.

Yes. (And still getting "standoff" BS and "who will blink first" and "who will voters blame" from news.) Trump and MAGA control the *entire* government. It's a simple fact: - White House - Senate - House - Scotus - OMB (to the hilt) - Every regulatory agency They're in command. It's on them.

And they just walk away like the criminals they are. Can you walk away from an assault like that? Nope. New York needs to arrest that agent.

More guns than people… Is it freedom or a national death cult that keeps growing?

I had the opportunity today to speak with @mehdirhasan.bsky.social about Gaza, AIPAC, and what Democrats need to do better. An easy first step? No AIPAC money. Ever. AIPAC is supporting my opponent but I’m on the right side of history.

The president said, in a televised speech, that he's sending his new, less restrained, more violent military into US cities to practice their brutality on immigrants and minorities, to better train them to apply that brutality to other countries. He said this out loud.

WOW. Remember this May video of a US citizen wrestled to the ground by ICE agents and detained for an hour despite having a valid REAL ID? It gets worse. Two weeks later, ICE did it AGAIN — handcuffed him and detained him for 20 minutes despite his REAL ID. Now the Institute for Justice is suing.

THEY CLOSED PUBLIC POOLS RATHER THAN SWIM WITH BLACK PEOPLE YOU ARE DEALING WITH THE SAME GROUP OF PEOPLE AS THE FOLKS WHO DID THIS PLEASE WAKE THE FUCK UP

/7 The decision to run those pictures — reflecting a sensibility that a picture of a perp walk is news but willingness to leak or stage the perp walk to humiliate the defendant is not news - is what I question.

/6 …but the DA had leaked the arrest to a certain local newspaper, which sent a reporter and photographer. But they were late. They complained they missed the perp walk. So the DA investigators took the politician out of the car and re-walked him from house to car for pictures.

/5 This is a long-time criticism of the media I’ve had, that its desire for access shapes its decision about what is or is not a story. The classic example I use is the local politician, the client of one of my partners, who was arrested early one morning at his home and perp-walked into his car….

/4 So for Yanping Chen, and before her Wen Ho Lee and Richard Jewell, one is left to wonder whether the media just treats any leak as inherently good and newsworthy, and whether it weighs at all the intent of the leaker and the interests of the leakee.

/3 There’s a tension between “leaking is good actually because we learn more about the operation of government” and “it’s not great for the government to attack and punish people through leaks,” and I don’t think the media has, as a culture, ever really figured out that tension.
