Minneapolis mayor is "demanding ICE to leave the city immediately."

losing my mind at the "she should have followed directions" people really? really? you're cool with "if you don't follow directions, they get to kill you"? that seems like a good state of affairs to you? that seems like how law enforcement ought to work: instant obeisance or death?

In an ideal world, there would not be any fascist thugs kidnapping and killing people. But in a less than ideal world, surely leadership of the opposition would at minimum be speaking loudly and clearly about exactly what is happening here

Fuck Bari Weiss, fuck bootlicking regime propaganda

As far as I know, in most democracies the penalty for not obeying a traffic order is not death

Do this. It works.

“The plagiarism generator community is rife with plagiarism!” Damn that’s crazy, wonder who else might be annoyed that their original work is being plagiarized. Guess there’s no lessons to be learned ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The Spanish version is “the left liberates, the right oppresses” and once I learned that, both screws and politics made more sense

we are going to hear a lot from rahm because “serious” washington pundits like him

My parents are divorced so we have two January 6ths

In a nation ruled by supremacy and all its many sabotages of the public good, every act of repair is a defiant act. *Every* act of repair is a defiant act.

Anybody who gives money to these Lincoln Project assholes should have their wallet locked away like you have to do when someone calls grandma saying they are with the IRS

So, hear me out on this, I want my taxpayer dollars going to feeding, hungry people, educating kids, and building better roads. I have no desire to buy Donald Trump an island, & last time I checked, the power of the purse, still belonged to Congress.

Bloomberg's X account has more than 800k followers. Their most recent post was shared five times It would basically come at close to zero cost for outlets like Bloomberg to delete their X accounts, and "We don't want to use a non-consensual deepfake abuse app as a comms platform" is a fine excuse

The Wyoming Supreme Court just ruled to protect abortion rights! They struck down the state's two abortion bans (yes, two). I'm so thrilled for the people of Wyoming, but also for all of us—because the decision could actually help abortion rights everywhere. jessica.substack.com/p/breaking-w...

grok can't do or say shit. The child porn sexual harassment machine was built by people. is used by people. and is allowed to do so by people. most of them have names!

It really is exhausting to beat the drum on this, but we need blue state leaders to grow a spine and point out they, largely, pay far more in than they get out, and red states largely do the opposite. Make the case that conservative government is a failed experiment propped up by federal subsidy

thrilled to say i dunno who this particular man is but ive found in general that people who talk like this in public tend to be people who are like incapable of doing their laundry on their own

Is it strong or weak to throw trans people under the bus? Is it strong or weak to target and destroy homeless encampments? Is it strong or weak to adopt your nominal enemy's platform rather than stand on principles? Gtfoh.

Imagine gettin’ got by Rob Schneider

It’s such an impressively lucrative grift to make a celebrity endorsed product that people can buy to “own the libs” & then just take their money & bail. Even more impressive is that people continue to fall for it. We’re a country run & owned by conmen & there are so many people looking to be conned

They're doing this so they can call any government program that isn't ICE or the military "rife with fraud" and thus illegitimate. They are trying to manufacture consent to say any entitlement — from Medicare to social security — must be canceled because of extreme edge cases. Don't fall for it.

A touching tribute to Mike F

this is how every outlet should refer to X

"GenAI is the futu--

He’s just not a good dude. And I truly believe that, hadn’t we sounded the alarm on Saturday night about the possibility, not enough people would have heard he was even a possibility until he was on that stage Wednesday.

This is what real fucking men do

Microsoft CEO said stop calling AI “slop” so to make people follow that guidance, they’re just rebranding Office as Copilot to make AI seem more useful than it really is

Same, Bob. Same.

If kidnapping a foreign president isn’t enough to get him out of office, why would the Epstein files be a silver bullet?

Compare and contrast how the media covered the Minnesota daycare story to how they covered the estimated $64B of fraud in Trump's PPP program

This Langston Hughes poem is relevant af.

it's so weird that there are still people who defend chuck schumer on here so many "we don't have any power, what do you expect him to do" and "we've tried absolutely nothing strategically unique and are all out of ideas" type of folks who seem extremely happy to wallow in powerlessness

TIRED: a reviewer savages your book as a tired mix of banal guy lit clichés and paint-by-numbers sex scenes WIRED: a juror in your securities fraud trial savages your book as a tired mix of banal guy lit clichés and paint-by-numbers sex scenes

Always interesting to see the types of people who will try to drum up sympathy for their own stupidity by appealing to the anti-govt crowd. Made a bad investment 13 years ago & now your business is underwater? Just blame “politics” even when it’s the only reason you were able to recoup anything

I promise you, you'll never guess which "politics" they're referring to

100%. These whiny fake tough-guy babies couldn't last a single shift in an Amazon warehouse or a busy Starbucks.

From the surveillance dystopia to tech overlords, here's a 🧵 of stories where we saw our reporting lead to change, thanks to your support. First: A databroker that sold hundreds of millions of your flight records to the government shut down following months-long 404 Media reporting:

people were furious at establishment dems in pa endorsing lamb. many cases to criticize the dems but fetterman is on the base (me included)

Consumer protection needs bigger teeth and product labeling needs to be standardized across industries, also heavy enforcement for a ban on undisclosed sponsorships. Not sexy or exciting but will likely prevent thousands of injuries, deaths, not to mention lost time.

So many in media are ill-equipped to interview officials about what’s happening because they begin with the presumption of legitimacy and don’t know enough about history or U.S. foreign policy to foment intelligent pushback and hold officials accountable.

"If you don't call me cool and give me my lil award I'll kill as many people as possible out of spite" really does appear to be the driving animus of everyone in this administration and its adjacent oligarchy.

Calling public benefits “entitlements” is just the most contemptible right-wing trash.

We’ll scrutinize every penny of benefits to make sure no one gets more than the bare minimum, but the DoD gets a blank check.

I think the AI angle of this is obscurant. It doesn’t matter that grok is “an AI” whatever you take that to mean. Suppose X hired a team of guys to photoshop the clothes off of women and children whenever anyone asks. That’s functionally identical what happening here. It’s not complicated.

Like lmao wow People really mad at this 100% correct take?

Everyone at the party was hyped when I showed up and it felt good but later I found out the bene gesserit had already been here for thousands of years seeding the myth of the “crazy ass white boy “
