Yep. I think it's pretty likely we're close to an AI crash. Bear Stearns starting the 2008 crash was poetic enough (especially, looking back, the Epstein ties). But if Palantir was the Bear Stearns of the AI crash, it'd be such poetic justice.

The Dallas City Council will not reconsider joining the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement 287(g) program following Thursday's unanimous joint committee vote to postpone the item indefinitely. www.keranews.org/government/2...

Right-wing accounts on X have been spreading a baseless conspiracy theory accusing a former Capitol Police officer of planting the J6 pipe bombs. Amid all that, Ed Martin posted a thread that spelled out “P I P E ?” He later deleted some of the tweets and then posted this on his DOJ account:

lmao

NEW: Inside the Biden administration debates in late 2024 that could have changed the course of the Gaza war -top intel official sought to cut support for Israel but Brett McGurk pushed back -talk of "very likely" US liability -Blinken spoke of "ethnic cleansing" www.huffpost.com/entry/biden-...

Imagine being this ignorant in the year 2025. An entire thread of nonsense. Mamdani got a third of the Jewish vote in New York because he doesn't conflate Judaism with Zionism and neither do they. But American evangelicals can't help themselves

NEW: @govpritzker.illinois.gov's office says 3 masked ICE agents stopped & questioned an IL Department of Transportation employee working in Park Ridge about his immigration status & whether he had traveled to New York and his awareness of NYC Mayor-elect @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social before leaving.

you won't be surprised to learn New Jersey is pretty similar

in the Virginia governor race exit poll:

Legal groups sue Trump administration over use of Israeli spyware on immigrant communities, @alexmar.bsky.social reports. Civil rights attorneys are seeking documents disclosing details on the extent of ICE’s use of invasive Israeli spyware to track, monitor, & target immigrants & activists.

HE'S APPEALING TO THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES THAT HE BE ALLOWED TO STARVE AMERICANS

When the president gets ordered, multiple times, to pay out federal food benefits as the law requires:

BREAKING: A federal jury in Brooklyn awarded our clients — 674 immigrants unlawfully jailed by the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office — $112 million. Could not be more proud to work at @latinojustice.bsky.social and to partner with the talent of Winston & Strawn.

"Donald Trump would suffer far more harm if he had to feed poor people as Congress ordered him to do than if small children did without."

JUST IN: Katie Wilson cuts Bruce Harrell's lead by more than half with today's ballot drop, cutting her deficit from 9908 votes to 4300 votes. She won today's batch of 55,952 ballots by 10%; that's *more* than she needed to win the outstanding ballots by. Over 50K ballots left to count in Seattle.

Mamdani is already cleaning up the NYPD!

Somehow Ben Shapiro arrives at the correct conclusion about Twitter before nearly all elected Democrats (even if he doesn't act on that conclusion)

HAPPY FOUR SEASONS TOTAL LANDSCAPING DAY TO ALL WHO CELEBRATE

I know this is pedantic, but Kim Davis was not "jailed for refusing to issue same-sex marriage licenses." She was jailed for contempt of court because she refused to follow a court order (she had stopped issuing all marriage licenses). NYT makes it sound like the Woke Police broke down her door.

Who cares about supreme courts? Michigan —Dems swept 2 seats in 2024, went from 4-3 to 5-2. A GOP justice retired this yr, so now 6-1. Wisconsin —Dems flipped court, 3-4 to 4-3, in 2023. Defended edge last April. Can expand it next April. Pennsylvania —Dems defended 5-2 majority on Tuesday. via

Rosalind Franklin died at 37 of ovarian cancer attributed to radiation exposure from the methods she & her assistant used to photograph a cross-section of the DNA double helix. Meanwhile, Watson won a Nobel off that work & survived to the ripe old age of 97 by simply: stealing those notes!

American: “I’m paying more at the grocery store.” Trump: “No you’re not.” American: “I mean…I am. I have the receipt right here.” Trump: “Prices are WAY down.” American: “They’re just…not.” Trump: “Are too!” American: “…” Trump: “…” American: “…” Trump: “I’ve ended 22 wars!”

Literally the one place in the country where Democrats got their clock cleaned was in the home county of state chair who refused to endorse Mamdani and has generally overseen a string very poor democratic performances.

New: Pablo Moreno González and Felipe Agustin Zamacona, two men formerly held at the Broadview, IL ICE facility, and now the named plaintiffs in a federal class action alleging inhumane treatment at the facility, are being released from federal custody per a successful habeas petition.

This passed thanks to the efforts of a group of determined individuals in a small community in Massachusetts, led in part by one of my badass and fearless cousins. I couldn’t be more proud.

Free Game: anyone running for Congress that has a plan for Nuremburg-ing the whole fucking lot of these monsters will win with *historic* margins

🚨🚨🚨LOS ANGELES- This is a call for ALL HANDS ON DECK! Organize your neighborhood, patrol your block, & defend your neighbors! Feds are targeting LA more aggressively than ever. THREAD with updates from @latenantsunion.bsky.social on feds escalating + changing tactics & how we fight back:

My excitement over the elections was short lived because I knew - I just *knew* - @schumer.senate.gov was going to take the first opportunity to throw away his leverage *again*

Fall is here and many of you may be shopping for an overcoat. Let me show what you can get as you move up the price ladder. 🧵

This has not gotten much attention, but it should. Virginia under Youngkin returned to an insanely harsh system where people convicted of any felony lose their voting rights FOR LIFE. Dems' win this week mean they'll get to advance a constitutional amendment to end lifetime disenfranchisement.

if you didn’t catch my column this week you can now watch it

PERIODIC REMINDER THAT IN THE UNITED STATES YOUR *RIGHT* TO DISCUSS YOUR SALARY WITH YOUR COWORKERS IS PROTECTED BY FEDERAL LAW AND YOU SHOULD ALWAYS DO THAT

I can’t believe Zohran is transing the trains already www.mta.info/article/f-m-...

Israel has brutally tortured and killed so many Palestinians that countless families have been forced to endure the trauma of sorting through numerous images of brutalized bodies in an attempt to identify and bury their loved ones.

I hope people understand that the Israeli “yellow line” isn’t about security, it’s about cleaning up a crime scene and demolishing whatever they want without witnesses. No Gazans. No press. No one left except the perpetrators. Besides propaganda drivel, there is 0 news about that part of Gaza.

The federal government is putting its full weight behind purging Black people from public life and the press and opposition party is silent as it does so.

@schumer.senate.gov can't wait for any opportunity to turn a winning hand into a losing one. He must enjoy the humiliation he suffers and the pain and anguish he causes for the American people. He is unfit to serve.

so my town has been hosting an emergency food drive for snap recipients. the town, high school clubs, the Y, the churches (Episcopal, Presbyterians, Lutherans, Baptists, Unitarians, and the Catholics) & the synagogue, are involved. You know who isn't participating? the fucking evangelicals.

Throwing away all your political capital after a historic off year election for a 1 year continuation of ACA funding is absolutely pathetic.

This is why you're seeing (like in Indiana) sitting GOP electeds not being willing to push gerrymandering further; more GOP districts by the math means making the existing ones weaker. In this environment, it'll be hard to get an existing GOPer to willingly make his own election more competitive

We saw a turnover of 6 out of 9 park board members, ushering in a labor-endorsed majority. This is a big win for unions and the workers who make our treasured spaces work for all of us in Minneapolis.

Illinois State Police, commanded by a superintendent *this guy* appointed, protect the ICE black site in Broadview by intimidating, brutalizing & arresting protesters. they took 20 just now, today

A legend #N7Day #MassEffect

@governor.ny.gov betrays the planet.

The blacklist is back, HUAC will probably be next to return

I spit on the reputation of the U.S. Supreme Court, not that it can get much more degraded than it has already become by the repulsive actions of its disgusting GOP members. You can hear the transphobic sneer in these words.

Here is the bandage / wrap on Dominick Barlow's lacerated elbow. Barlow last played October 25th against the Hornets.

Haha yesss. Japanese copyright law doesn't fuck around. Since I get challenged on this a lot: U.S. and Japan are both Berne Convention signatories, meaning the copyright is recognized between countries. They CAN go after American companies. And they are. And I love it. variety.com/2025/digital...
