Voting on spy powers at 2am will definitely help with trust in the government!

I would say that #2 needs to be not "have to be ready" but "have to demand" because if there are no consequences and people just reap multiple billions of dollars in personal profit this will happen again.

nonzero chance the FBI is plugging LLMs into wiretap data under the legal theory AI alone can’t implicate 4th amendment concerns (semi-known 702 issue). or the NSA has now hard coded wiretaps across all newly built US data centers due to expanded ECSP scope. or probably both.

Things that help calm the nervous system, quickly: - Box breathing (in for 4, hold for 4, out for 4, hold for 4, repeat) - Immerse your face in cold water (activates mammalian dive reflex) - Humming (stimulates vagus nerve) - Exercise (anything helps, outside even better) - Impeachment and removal

I'm the daughter of an Army paratrooper who refused orders during our illegal invasion of Vietnam back in the day. He went to LBJ military jail. Dad taught his girls this: "Just following orders" is NEVER any excuse for anyone who's complicit in war crimes. You MUST refuse heinous orders.

"ICE agents will be staking out Marine Corps graduation events to find undocumented immigrants in the recruits’ families." another feather in the cap of the "career incentives give the best ultimate explanation of right wing goon squads' behavior" school of thought newrepublic.com/post/208407/...

On Transgender Day of Visibility today, we uplift and celebrate transgender Washingtonians. I admire their resilience in the face of adversity. In Washington, we'll always stand up for the rights of transgender individuals. That won’t change as long as I am Governor.

Star Trek figured this out thirty years ago. It's not hard. Even an old, drunk Klingon got it.

She spoke out about Gaza. Now she can't use a credit card. The UN investigator for Palestinian territories is facing U.S. sanctions and accused of antisemitism by the State Department.

7-year-olds should not have easy access to guns.

So the April 2026 issue of the Illinois Bar Journal calls trans women "transgender males," and today the Supreme Court says conversion therapy is protected speech. Lovely. Great profession, this. We've come so far. 🫠

All of this is manufactured like this is so WILD …. Like Folks are volunteer joining the fascists for NOTHING

ICE has been banned from Seattle parks I guess.

On the 50th anniversary of Land Day, Palestinians remain unbroken in our struggle for liberation. This must not be a moment of resignation - it must be one of escalation. Channel your rage, frustration, and grief into effective, strategic BDS action and pressure. https://loom.ly/K1gdgOc

We have 2 cool shirts! I have to sell them out by early April for 2 reasons: 1) 5 of my family members are staying in the Skype a Scientist stockroom in mid-April 😅 2) I need to fund our mural project which starts the first week of April! They're soft! They're cute! Get a shirt! SquidFacts.net

In fairness it’s not like the consequences of having a mad king unilaterally take the country to war on a whim were so incredibly obvious that you could see it coming from the 18th and 19th centuries www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Somebody needs to yank the licenses of every medical professional involved in this statement: “based on the medical staff’s knowledge that the baby had a beating heart and was struggling to breathe”.

“The Phoenix Police Department will not discipline any officers for their roles in a massive city scandal where officials invented a fake gang and then falsely charged protesters as members back in 2020”

That’s why I live where the air hurts my face, and celebrate the fall when the bugs die.

Ohh ohh I know this one. Racism. The military actually buried a war game result that pretty much predicted this about 15 years ago because they couldn’t accept that brown people with less advanced weapons would cause this much trouble. White people still can’t figure out racism hurts them too.

Well

Over on X there is an information warfare campaign playing out in plain sight. Meet Amelia, a cutesy purple haired AI- animated sock puppet, who wants to end immigration in the UK. This is AI and it's going to kill us all. When slopaganda is used to call for action, we have jumped the shark.

You could say that Rock n Roll was born 111 years ago today in Arkansas, but probably not where you'd think. Before there was a Chuck Berry or Little Richard, there was those who wanted to be like her. Rosetta Nubin better known as Sister Rosetta Tharpe, the godmother of Rock was born on this day

Everything ICE does, regular cops do all the time. Including this.

I love this for all of us. deadline.com/2026/03/mist...
