When journalists asked me "where we will see the effects of DOGE on outcomes?" one of my responses was "during crises...as long as media connect the dots." Well, dots connected: www.wired.com/story/cdc-cy...

I wonder why you turned replies off

New State Department report on foreign "subversion" is a virtual government blacklist that names 43 Americans + domestic orgs, including: - Mamdani - DSA - Hasan Piker - Amy Goodman Full list: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/after-poli...

State Department’s new report on Cuban influence focuses on various American citizens like Hasan Piker, Christian Smalls and Isra Hirsi (daughter of Ilhan Omar) - as well as American orgs like DSA

Preventing some Iranian villagers from getting drinking water does nothing to prevent the IRGC from firing missiles and drones. Water is a red line. I know those of you who hate the US military and US foreign policy won’t care about the difference, but it’s significant, with very bad implications.

reminding everyone that Elon Musk has basically no expertise in business or finance or science or engineering — the thing he's actually an expert on are these Trump-style aggressive legal shenanigans that have let him break the law and violate contracts

This is footage of ICE handcuffing a 26 year old father after murdering him in broad daylight. We cannot look away. Abolish ICE. Abolish qualified immunity. Hold these murderous thugs accountable.

26-year-old Joan Sebastian Guerrero was shot and killed by ICE agents in Maine. #EndGunViolence #ICEViolenceIsGunViolence

Michael Fanone's take on Lindsey Graham is one of the most powerful I've read:

Here is Graham gloating about "killing all the right people." Just in case you see anyone try to do the whole "we should have decency for the dead" nonsense.

Didn’t seem like a foul to me

I love how this makes it seem like they stopped monitoring RFK Jr

Man this song sucks

what they learned from minneapolis was not “don’t do this again” but “keep it quiet next time”

Given debates in the US on who truly represents the working class, I'll point out that in Brazil a movement to give workers a 5-day workweek - arguably the biggest worker gains in the 21st c - is led by a Black trans woman (Rep. Erika Hilton) & a Black gay man (City Council leader Rick Azevedo).

We can see this in the ICE flight data. Domestic “round-up” flights are spiking, and some activist flight watchers report the flights are getting fuller. But deportation and removal flights remain steady. This means the concentration camps are getting packed to the brim. It’s awful to comprehend.

Trump’s ICE shot Houston construction worker Lorenzo Salgado Araujo from an unmarked car on his way to work, then blamed him. His son only knew it was his dad from the voice on Facebook, crying for help as he bled out in the street. This is regime terror. #StopICE

I think I am going to delete my Instagram account. Nothing over there for me. It was a good idea to delete my X account at the right time. This is going the same way.

The next step will be for Republicans to force students to take courses at this indoctrination center, which is what they had to do in Iowa, because nobody actually wants to take courses at these centers.

Mayo Clinic’s former director of research operations alleges she was sidelined, then terminated, for raising objections over lax standards of studies involving AI.

NEW: He was picking up a work crew to take them to construction site at 6 a.m. on Tuesday morning. ICE showed up. And now this small business owner, the father of three American citizens, is dead. www.thebulwark.com/p/he-lived-h...

As much as I hate to say it because it’s cheap webforum meta discourse, the strongest correlation to Platner support wasn’t ideology, it was if you still frequently use X, The Everything App. I would hope that would lead to some introspection about what remaining on there does to your judgement.

If roughing up a girlfriend and locking her in a room was a virile, authentic a rejection of “smoothgroined” “HR lady” politics, but a rape is too far, then what’s at stake is not a principled rejection of violence against women but a cynical assessment of how much violence a man can get away with.

A man who publicly was doing something which, when done wrong, can cause graft-vs-host disease, an autoimmune disease which can attack, among other things, your GI tract, now has an autoimmune disease which is attacking his GI tract. What a coincidence.

Nevertheless, Meta has informed Wynn-Williams that her silent, motionless appearance on a stage constitutes a further breach of her "agreement" and that they are going to seek even *more* damages from her. 31/

Arriving in Washington DC on July 4th and immediately seeing a bunch of Nazis marching with confederate flags feels like something you’d see in the pre credits scene of a an episode of Sliders/Star Trek, so the writers can quickly establish something has gone terribly awry on this timeline.

Patriot front marching from Union Station right now. White supremacist and neo-fascist organization. Cowards.

I assumed everyone knew this was predicted to occur when they sacked 50% of the NOAA staff and started canceling weather balloons that collect data last year; but if not. 👇

In front of fans and kids taking photos, a Dallas police officer starts shoving staff members of the Egyptian national team here for the World Cup. At one point, he even reaches for his handcuffs. The video is already being shared internationally by news outlets.

SCOTUS reform won't just simply happen if Dems take Congress & the White House. A case has to be made for it—to a skeptical public, to reluctant politicians, to a hostile media. The blowback from the right will be intense and terrify a lot of weak-willed pols. The case has to be made starting *now*

Clarence Thomas's concurring opinion in the trans sports ban case in West Virginia contains some of the ugliest transphobic stuff I have ever seen in a legal opinion. Straight-up gleeful. Vile man. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

"mRNA bad, peptides good" is the new "two legs bad, four legs good" insurrectionist slogan from Animal Farm

The husband of one of the demonstrators did not participate in the protest but was sentenced to 30 years in prison anyway, convicted of moving boxes with leftwing zines and other materials after a prison phone call from his wife.
