Google organized business owners against California legislation to force its Chrome web browser to safeguard personal data.

There are at least 10,000 Amcits in Qatar alone, and the US government is saying we are on our own

He also introduced a bill that would codify Bivens (i.e., let you sue federal agents who violate your rights) and it’s gotten surprisingly little press

This is good for several reasons. It shows the terms of the debate have changed—not just in NY-10, but across the Dem caucus. It gives us something to hold Goldman to and something to shove in the faces of fence-sitting conservadems. And there’s more: 3/

I can see I’ll have to (as Billy Wilder once advised) make my subtleties obvious. I’ve lived in this district most of my life. I’ve never been a Goldman fan. I’ve long been 👍 Lander. I’m glad Brad is running. I’d like to see Brad win. But even if he doesn’t, Dan is now on record using “Abolish.” 2/

Public pressure means something. Primaries can change policies. In NY-10, Dan Goldman has been running ads for months. Primaried from his left by @bradlander.bsky.social, Goldman’s ads have gone from “Agents should have to carry ID” in January, to big bold graphics this month that say “Abolish ICE.”

It's not that I had fond feelings about Neera Tanden before but I think her retweeting Nick Fuentes is pretty good evidence that twitter is a gamma radiation field for your brain

They're telling me - listen to this - they're telling me to not... to not, to never get involved in a land war in Asia! I don't know. That's what they say but I don't know. Should I do it? They're telling me it's one of the "classic blunders" but I might do it. Should I do it?... I'm going to do it

Replies to any post about generative AI being bad: I wholeheartedly agree. Though I did use it to make fliers for my dogcer league (dog soccer). I wanted my designer friend to do it, but he had just fallen down. I only used the fliers once and even deleted the file. I hope my friend can get back up

@rikiwilchins.bsky.social [CA schools con't] To clarify, the Supreme Court decision does NOT mandate parental notification, but it does allow conservative CA school districts to now pass their own "Parental Notification" policies and voids the law that prevented them.

Jack Mazurek, who was facing a decade in prison for his association with Defend the Forest / Stop Cop City movement, is getting time served + ten years probation. Pretty amazing outcome, all things considered.

this one fucked me up so much. guy turns his life around after a drug conviction, becomes a happy, beloved, pet rescuing houseboat dad who undersells his mechanic services so poor folks can afford them. ICE grabs him one day out of the hospital for heart problems which then kill him. horrifying

Why is everyone talking about her like she isn’t willingly married to a pedophile

BREAKING: Credible whistleblower discloses that FBI forensic experts were ordered to stand down from processing the scene where Renee Good was killed, because Kash Patel did not want Good referenced as a “victim” in the warrant.

As the laid off Middle East News Editor, I concur. Management eliminated the positions of every single staff correspondent and bureau chief in the Middle East.

people love to say "you should read conservative opinion pieces too" and every conservative opinion piece is like "corporations should have the right to vote but minorities shouldn't. source: I made it up"

look i know people have their own things going on, but i find the whole "food is just fuel to be consumed as efficiently as possible" mindset infinitely depressing

The liberal centre is very explicit about this when it comes to trans lives, that they don't have any place in public life. I doubt the liberal centre has the backbone to push back against this.

My galaxy brain take is that if Dems were serious about aggressively countering GOP fuckery, they’d host this in DC as part of an aggressive push for statehood.

Going to see more and more non-leftist Democrats talking like this from now on

States have started proposing steep reductions in disability services to cope with Medicaid cuts in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Idaho is the first to suggest scrapping home care altogether — An action with a high human cost. My latest @19thnews.org.

FYI for fellow narrative designers/game writers: the studio in question is Sentona Games and it’s my understanding they are currently interviewing to replace me. Be very careful with them. They were very nice to me and easy to work with right up until I needed the money I was promised.

“I’d probably have to quit my job. I need to make sure she can spend time with friends and her boyfriend, but she would still be more socially isolated,” Walters said. @slooterman.bsky.social reports for @19thnews.org.

civilian deaths are up for bets and if you’re wondering how america got here, @jasonkoebler.bsky.social breaks it down. (personal note: so happy to be working with the team @404media.co that says shit like it is)

found out today that noah segan voiced henry on kablam

That podcaster never apologized, never corrected, never invited him back to another discussion. But he has had Amit Segal, who is Netanyahu's closest de facto media advisor, on an additional four times since then. He's berated Coates about the West Bank. He's praised Charlie Kirk.

When Tareq Baconi was given the rarest of rare opportunities to write an op ed for the New York Times in which he denounced the two-state solution as a political fiction designed to cover up the consolidation of apartheid, the NYT's premier podcast host decided to obliquely compare him to Nazis.

can u imagine the flavors they're brewing up in there???

what's remarkable about jill is not that she's an ignorant white, but the amount of effort people have taken up across the world to try to remedy that by pointing out things and educating her, and her stubbornness and allergic reactions toward learning and internalizing anything.

That Kansas law invalidating trans ppl’s licenses? It also allows trans residents sue trans ppl who use public bathrooms—for money. Texas created this kind of bounty hunter law to punish abortion patients, but you can trace the origins back to “fugitive slave” laws, writes @queenmab.bsky.social.

Gallego is a big crypto supporter. If he's endorsing Platner, I have strong doubts about Platner's ultimate commitment to breaking the power of tech billionaires. prospect.org/2025/03/10/2...

"but the luddites weren't against technology they were against the abuse of it" yeah nobody on the other side of that argument gives a shit and no onlooker is going to sit still long enough for you to explain the fine distinction

It's interesting how the default stance of our mainstream society toward technology is *newfanglism*, and anything other than that is seen as an unreasonable position

I lived a few streets down from the site where the Philadelphia Police Department firebombed an entire city block in 1985, and when I mention it in lecture most of my students seem absolutely incredulous

They've been talking like that about trans people for awhile now.

They said "sir you're decomposing" and I said wow that's a beautiful word. You've never heard anything like it
