NEW: ICE wants to spend up to $50M on a detention hub in Minnesota, one capable of moving detainees anywhere within a 400-mile radius across several U.S. states:

Underappreciated fact: The paths and positions of the cable damages around New Years 2026 were to most of Estonia's internet backbone routes. Had it fully succeeded/happened by accident (lol) Estonia would have been left with a crippled connectivity.

DHS employees entered our store this afternoon and served us a Notice of Inspection, demanding copies of I9 forms for each employee. In 27 years as shopkeepers, we have never been subjected to this type of investigation.

Thiel Fellowship co-founder Michael Gibson & American Moment co-founder Nick Solheim presented a talk at Peter Thiel’s 2024 “Hereticon” event titled, “Manifest Destiny: Greenland, Cuba, & the New American Colony.” Gibson & his colleagues have also been eyeing Venezuela, Honduras, & Nigeria. 1/

Ex-Mississippi welfare chief John Davis confessed to WWE wrestlers Ted DiBiase Jr. and Brett DiBiase that he "tried to buy your love" as he sent millions in Temporary Assistance for Needy Families funds to The Million Dollar Man's sons. While denying 99% of poor families who applied.

Aux USA, des scientifiques ont découvert que la maladie de Parkinson était en majorité provoquée par l'exposition au Trichloréthylène. De plus en plus d'études démontrent que l'environnement et l'épigénétique, sont autrement plus déterminants que nos gènes dans l'apparition de maladies chroniques.

This is a phenomenal conversation. Confused about tokens?, crypto?, venture capitalists?, Broligarchs?, this conversation puts the "exit" into the "holy fuck we need to do something-now" perspective we all should have. @gilduran.com once again with a grand slam episode w/ @ojutel.bsky.social

Hey so this seems like something more people should be talking about 🤔 🗳️ www.npr.org/2025/10/23/n...

"When I started speaking out about [Trump's] addictions in 2015, I was trying to warn people that it wasn’t the substances themselves that presented a problem, as much as it was the personality defects underneath them that we needed to fear the most." Read this:

If you happen to be looking for bad redactions in a large set of data files today for some reason, there's an open source tool for that.

The playbook ….

@theguardian.com reporting on Lib Dem calls for an investigation into hostile state interference to include the current US administration. Far right religious orgs like the Heritage Foundation & Turning Point UK are funding Farage &Robinson, their goals are bigger-to influence elections in Europe

I tried to explain this to some colleagues and they laughed at me. We're doomed

Update: DOJ haw now sued 18 states. My law firm has already filed to intervene to defend voters in 13 of the first 14 cases. We are working on the remains 5. This is an insane effort by DOJ and we are a small firm. But we are committed to protecting free and fair elections in 2026. More soon.

"there is little reason to doubt what the aim [of the massive investment in AI] is: to embed knowledge in machines—knowledge that previously belonged to the people working in these domains." 🧵

Peter Thiel, Sam Altman and Marc Andresson have a ton of money in Próspsra, an island off of Honduras that had the same basic setup, but was shut down after Hernandez was no longer the president. Number one reason Trump pardoned him..

What a great idea! We need to do this somehow.....

“The deskilling, denigration, and displacement of teachers and scholars have historically been central to fascist takeovers, since educators serve as bulwarks against propaganda, anti-intellectualism, and illiteracy.” — @olivia.science www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/a...

Brazil approves the first vaccine against dengue. The disease killed 6000 Brazilians in 2024. This is a really remarkable achievement. I got dengue in 2015, and even with the mild case I had, it was a really miserable experience.

Probably not ideal to publish a long piece on Wednesday night before Thanksgiving… Would you help me spread the word? I wrote about some persistent myths regarding what’s happening in American society and politics we desperately need to discard:

NEW: I wrote about Thermify's HeatHub technology, which acts as a mini data centre. Installed in sheds or outhouses, it gets hot enough to heat people's homes! www.thereengineer.pro/p/sheds-and-...

"Everyone knows data centers use a lot of water. What’s less known is how they can poison the drinking water that remains."

I really don’t think we can overstate the harm that the tech ethos of move fast and break things (followed by the unsaid “and then just move on”) has done beyond tech. Government, ngos, universities, public schools that have invited the folks who think like this in keep ending up gutted

This is so sketchy www.nytimes.com/2025/11/25/u...

Art. I of the Constitution gives Congress the power to make rules and regulations for the armed forces — including codes of discipline and strictures against following illegal orders. You can’t punish members of Congress for articulating those rules. Also protected by Speech and Debate Clause.

It does. It's a form of lying. And lying about lying. bsky.app/profile/oliv...

Alan Dershowitz is one of those claiming Epstein was not a pedophile because he pleaded guilty to one count of having sex for money with a 17-year-and-10-month-old person. "That’s not a pedophile." See this important response from Julia Brown, the brave reporter who broke the news on this

ICE ADMITTED they had mistakenly yanked them as they drove to school BUT CONTINUED TO HOLD THEM!

My assessment of where America stands, one year after the election. A fascistic movement controls the government; they are building an authoritarian state; but they have not been able yet to extend authoritarian rule across society. A democracy no more, but not a consolidated autocratic regime yet:

Elie Mystal on why the GOP needs the illusion of a Trump third term

Please do *not* circulate this story that the NC GOP does not want circulated. Please, they have threatened you nicely, please.

🚨BIG changes happening -- ICE leadership is being purged tonight. The old guard, which prioritized targeted enforcement operations aimed at people with criminal records, is being replaced with Border Patrol and Gregory Bovino's "Midway Blitz" style. Think things are bad now? It'll get worse.

In huge positive news, the Australian government just ruled out handing the work of their country’s creatives to AI companies for free 🙌 They resisted the well-funded tech lobby & shut down proposals to upend copyright law. Other governments should do the same! www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

'When someone says we can’t miss the boat, I ask: where is the boat going? What exactly will this technology improve? That’s rarely discussed. Since when did [universities] become Big Tech's free PR department?' — Nicky Dries, Future of Work Lab at the Catholic University of Leuven

I don't know how many more ways to say "you need to start fucking listening to the people who warned you that exactly this would happen." LLM/GPT-type "AI" recreate patterns in pursuit of matching statistical correlations on which they're trained. They make shit up. Do Not. Put this. In healthcare

Russia has built a secret surveillance net for tracking NATO submarines in the Arctic using Western technology, according to the Russian Secrets reporting project.
