Terrifying numbers in latest annual survey of federal workers from @ourpublicservice.bsky.social. For example, DoD workers' trust in Hegseth is in the toilet. Only 11.5% of Army employees say their dept's political leaders "maintain high levels of integrity." Similar numbers for Navy, Air Force

And FYI from @techcrunch.com: "Bluesky raised a $100 million Series B round led by Bain Capital Crypto, with Anthos Capital, Bloomberg Beta, and Knight Foundation as well as previous investors Alumni Ventures and True Ventures also joining in."

"The reason to cancel this book is similar to the reason you cancel a traditionally plagiarized book. There are ethical reasons, sure, but also just plain business ones." @thelincoln.bsky.social on that cancelled AI slop book: countercraft.substack.com/p/what-it-me...

This puts me at 10 people released. I filed my 1st habeas petition 29 days ago. I am an incredibly small-time, nobody lawyer who knew nothing about immigration law the day I submitted that case. I barely know any more today. I had never sued the federal government and now I've beaten them 10 times.

Are electric vehicles denting oil demand? Yes. By how much? 1.5 million barrels of oil a day, according to EV Curve Futurist. Caveat: These estimates are hard, but the numbers are certainly adding up.

What’s happening with the US economy is not unlike how things happened in Atlantic City: the burden of any of Trump’s failures will fall on US citizens this time.

lol www.axios.com/2026/03/06/h...

Some days, for no particular reason, I reflect on how stupid the entry into World War One was

Who could have possibly predicted this

Never forget what this is all about

Some of the city's most experienced 911 dispatchers tell Gazetteer that the dispatch office is in dire straits due to poor management, broken equipment, flawed training, and low morale. The dispatchers fear it could get somebody killed. Exclusive: subtxt.to/2N6EaRr

NEW: ICE is leasing offices throughout the US as part of a secret, months-long expansion campaign. WIRED is publishing dozens of these locations.

Her community rallied so fast and so diligently. This is a victory to uphold and celebrate. Reminds everyone that it's worth fighting back.

Someone on Polymarket has just placed a $100k bet that the US will strike Iran today. $4m payout if true. More money than sense or insider information, you decide.

"Technology that exploits our need for relationships can lead not only to painful consequences in the lives of individuals, but also to damage in the social, cultural and political fabric of society." Pope Leo's message on AI is worth reading in full: www.vatican.va/content/leo-...

I'm at the Olympics and the entire stadium booed JD Vance. 😌

My story on Elon Musk cutting safeguards at xAI is on the front page of today's @washingtonpost.com. I’m also among 100’s of reporters laid off. I absolutely loved my job my brilliant coworkers & the thrill of reporting @ the center of forces upending the world: AI & Silicon Valley’s political power

Incredible chart from @jburnmurdoch.ft.com about the speed of the US's democratic and civil erosion, "the most rapid episode...in the recent history of the developed world": www.ft.com/content/b474...

TFW the Christmas Adventurers Club turns out to be nonfiction

This is surreal. 4 Oglala Lakota men kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis have finally been located. One of them was released but the other 3 are being held at Fort Snelling, a former concentration camp used to imprison Native people incl. the Dakota 38 during Dakota Wars. ictnews.org/news/north-c...

This is not a news outlet.

Quinnipiac gave me unpublished data from new poll and it finds huge, huge, huge percentages of young and working class voters have seen video of Minneapolis shooting. Majorities of both disapprove of ICE. Pundits are getting the working class/immigration wrong: newrepublic.com/article/2052...

More of this message please

Wow — New YouGov / Economist poll: 46% support abolishing ICE 43% oppose abolishing ICE This is the first time that abolishing ICE has received net positive support

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003 when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

This ends in higher inflation. Middle class households better buckle up

I certainly hope she has a primary challenger if this is the best she can do

Live updates: Around 200 people marched more than two miles from the scene of the shooting to Minneapolis City Hall, shouting “ICE out now!” after police hurried away from the scene Wednesday afternoon. The crowd of is continuing to snake its way through downtown.

Every second the murderer is not arrested is another second for feds to hide him in a place that would create a jurisdictional fight. He's on video killing a person. You have to arrest this guy an hour ago, but you might still have time now.

The shooting marks a dramatic escalation of the latest in a series of immigration enforcement operations in major American cities under the Trump administration. It’s at least the fifth person killed in a handful of states since 2024.

1/ In 2022, one year after Trump incited the seditious attack on the US Capitol, I posted a long thread of images on Twitter, because revisionist attempts to create a false narrative about that day were already well underway. Today, in 2025, I’m re-creating/re-posting that same thread here.👇

I spoke to people who are standing up to ICE - from a real estate appraiser chasing ICE on his bike to a fetish shop owner distributing whistles and an undocumented social worker putting money in detainees’ commissary accounts
