I am aware of and am watching/listening to stories on the reported ICE shooting in Minneapolis. From DC, I will hold off for a bit on posting as local reporters on the ground are able to do their essential work.

🚫🧊 MINNEAPOLIS MAYOR SAYS: ICE get out of town, immediately!

The phrase "Grok is undressing women" is incorrect. It's mostly men using Grok to undress women. And it's also manmade that Grok obeys to these prompts.

Current* conditions near Toronto, ON:

January 6 and Access Hollywood were the two moments when the GOP establishment's initial response was "it's finally over, thank God." And then they wound up walking it back because they'd so badly underestimated the depravity of their base and they weren't willing to stop him without base support.

If Trump is really stealing spending power from Congress then it would be insanity for Democrats to vote to fund the government later this month. Shut it down until the president stops wiping his ass with the Constitution.

Member of the ruling mafia party describes US as “dominant predator” in the Western hemisphere.

Nothing funny about a settler colonial nation threatening to invade an Indigenous People who have been "claimed" by a colonial nation. The ones who lose in this scenario are always going to be Indigenous.

Read the whole thread. Gregg is right. It’s NOT a question of “experts disagree.” I’ve been working in medicine, medical journalism or global health for 32 years & know a LOT of health professionals—I do not know a *single one* who supports RFK Jr’s dangerous dismantling of the US vaccine system.

So @tobymorton.bsky.social is a national treasure and Hilton is fucking up royally with this nonsense. www.hiltonice.com cc: @kenwhite.bsky.social

Trump & RFK Jr.'s coterie of bootlicking doctors are real pieces of shit, we argue in the British Medical Journal, essentially. Link: www.bmj.com/content/392/...

This is the kind of thing that the Founders explicitly designed our constitution to prevent; a president who has seized wealth for his own benefit without any intervention from Congress, which in our system is supposed to be the holder of the power of the purse.

“This Oil will be sold at its Market Price, and that money will be controlled by me, as President of the United States of America…”

Deep down America's allies know that only Americans can put a stop to the madness. The fact that they can't or won't is why the damage to our partnerships will last far beyond this President.

It pains me to say it, but if the US is serious about "taking over" Greenland, then it is at least as great as security threat to Western Europe as Russia is. And should be treated accordingly.

Every piece of reporting I've seen on this is drastically understating the scale. These are from Grok's replies within a single minute. Time-to-reply is degrading because it has such a backlog of NCII/CSAM requests to fulfill. Conservatively I estimate it is producing more than 5000 of these per day

Quick, what's he famous for again? Let's ask his biographer... wait, maybe not the best person to ask.

here are some less often seen photos i saved right after J6 to remind myself how bad it really was. 🧵

Might as well ask all your hinge matches where they were 5 years ago today.

*TRUMP AND TEAM DISCUSSING OPTIONS TO ACQUIRE GREENLAND: REUTERS Reuters heads: TRUMP AND HIS TEAM ARE DISCUSSING A RANGE OF OPTIONS FOR ACQUIRING GREENLAND AND 'UTILIZING THE US MILITARY IS ALWAYS AN OPTION'- WHITE HOUSE STATEMENT

Jared Kushner has somehow found a place at Coalition of the Willing press conference with Scholz, Zelensky, Macron, Starmer and Witkoff. Kushner has no official position in the US government.

First CES panel. Intuit CMO Thomas Ranese is proud of his company's integration with OpenAI, which involves giving AI read/write access to tax data. Since prompt injection attacks are unavoidable, I asked him who will be liable when customer data is exposed: Intuit, OpenAI, etc? He had no idea.

Good day to share one of my finer moments online.

He'll stop after Venezuala. He'll stop with Greenland. He'll respect the deal with Mexico He'll never try for Canada.

Reporter to Kushner & Witkoff during Ukraine summit: "I know there's a reluctance to talk about Greenland today, but what value do these commitments have on the very day that at the highest levels of govt in Washington they are talking about seizing the sovereign territory of a fellow NATO member?"

The FEDS drugged and shot Fred Hampton in bed. Philly cops blew up a building in the 1980s and most people don't even know the MOVE bombing happened. I think you're downplaying how normalized US death is.

Est-ce que les hétérosexuels vont bien ??

No, it was a successful coup. None of the people who led it were punished, and are in fact back in power, rewarded for their efforts to break the system by running it. Donald Trump is currently the dictator he attempted to become 5 years ago, and it’s because nobody treated trying as a crime.

Has the NYT written about this yet or when they called Trump 'The Jan 6th President' did they mean it in a complimentary fashion

there is a book out today which I am excited to read. it's an oral history of Jan 6 and importantly, it doesn't platform the insurrectionists in its account. clearly they have enough of of a platform already bookshop.org/p/books/24-h...

On the 5th anniversary of the Jan 6th attack, let's remember that Brazil formally sentenced Bolsonaro for the violent coup attempt after he lost re-election because Brazil has a better-functioning democracy than the US does.

I really recommend watching all 45 minutes of this. www.nytimes.com/video/us/pol...

The official position of the White House is that on January 6, "it was the Democrats who staged the real insurrection by certifying a fraud-ridden election."

In case you hadn't heard, The Narwhal is suing the RCMP for arresting photojournalist Amber Bracken on assignment in northern B.C. It’s an effort to protect press freedom — and the rights of all Canadians — and the trial begins next week. thenarwhal.ca/rcmp-trial-u...

I went from “I guess I will always stay in a Hilton from now on” to “I will never stay at a Hilton again” so freaking fast.

you can tell The Economy is doing Great when soup and tuna are under alarmed doors

i love how like the Reason crowd find this depressing despite the fact that even the Manhattan Institute polls finding that most young Republicans hold genuinely reprehensible beliefs

Canada should be first in line to sign such statements.

"Condemnations don't do anything" yes they absolutely do! For one thing, they send a message *to Americans* that much of the world does not accept or condone their regime's behaviour, that it will lead to isolation, instability and conflict of various kinds (not necessarily military or symmetrical)

5 years ago, there was a bloody, lawless, and deadly attack on our nation’s Capitol. A group of criminal thugs broke out in riots and stormed our Capitol in an attempt to overturn the results of a free and fair election at the direction of the President of the United States.

Art. The whole executive team as clowns. www.ft.com/content/ad94...

He's already testing the 'cancel the election' messaging.

Unsurprising but still disappointing. Fully expect corporate Hilton to go all pikachu face when their employees start getting rounded up by ICE.
