I got the complaint in the horrific OpenAI self harm case the the NY Times reported today This is way way worse even than the NYT article makes it out to be OpenAI absolutely deserves to be run out of business

the people who made this thing should be treated like dealers who mix fent into drugs.

ICE just posted this video taking down the sign in Mount Pleasant on Twitter.

HSI on 14th Street in DC just asked reporters to let them do their jobs and not record them for the privacy of the arrestees. Meanwhile the White House posted enough to dox the sandwich guy!

Police have set up a checkpoint and appear to be stopping every single car on 14th st NW, between W+V, here in northwest DC. Some cars are being pulled over after being stopped. Some police are wearing “HSI police” vests (Homeland Security Investigations)

what's going on with kilmar abrego garcia really reminds me of when israel struck the al-ahli hospital in 2023. they spent so long rtying to deny it, conconting evidence and manipulating information. now they've bombed every hospital in gaza. in a year the govt won't care enough to even pretend

I’m out here in downtown Los Angeles for the 24-community stoppage events—currently following a blocks-long car caravan that started its journey out in MacArthur Park and is headed into downtown. As usual, it’s a party

Wow man, if only there was an entity which could have secured residents the relative safety of statehood at any time in the last century or so.

Israel has killed 240+ journalists. People who'd cover a strike that killed their kids and go on to cover the next strike, in the pursuit of convincing the world to act, of the hope of tomorrow being different. How many more murders will it take for the mainstream media's cowardly fever to break?

Cuomo has proposed a new law to means-test rent-controlled and rent-stabilized housing, which make up half the apartments in NYC. It's a ludicrous idea – you can't bar the middle class or the rich from half of the city's apartments – but it's part of Cuomo's larger attack on rent stabilization.

Good morning. Some thoughts about last night: It’s a shocking thing when media get brutalized by the state, for a number of reasons, but it often shifts the spotlight off the thing we were out there to cover in the first place. My evening started like this yesterday: a lively, fun march thru DTLA

Quick little fact check here: Israel has armed the Burmese military for decades, including during the Rohingya Genocide. Protesting Israel’s genocidal regime directly and materially benefits the people of Myanmar.

Absolutely brutal and unwarranted arrest by DHS in front of the detention center just now

Some video from earlier, multiple journalists bloodied in the scrum. This is just 90 seconds of over 10 minutes of extremely aggressive LAPD response tonight

Here’s the moment LAPD ordered media along with protestors against the wall, despite requests for a supervisor as well as reminders that PC409.7(b) specifically exempts media from dispersal orders. Never made contact with a PIO. didn’t speak with a supervisor for a very long time after being cuffed.

This has devolved into LAPD insanity again. An anti ICE protest has turned LAPD army. TikTok is managing only a couple lives under the guise again as a concert so it doesn’t get pulled. They’d every right to protest as DHS and ICE have begun ignoring the restraining order. /

my friend’s arabic teacher knows 3 sisters (19, 16, & 8) in gaza, their home recently buried under rubble. my friend is trying to raise funds to send for them to buy some recent aid. i offered to help collect funds since they don’t have a campaign up yet. @/taliajane on venmo - note ‘art’

The White House has a preferred alternative to PBS: PragerU, a nonprofit organization that specializes in creating right-leaning educational short videos for adults and children. . It may already be in countless classrooms. www.vox.com/today-explai...

This is the most infuriatingly witless talking point. No history is “erased” by the removal of a monument. What he means is “we want to celebrate and honor racism,” but that sounds bad, so we’re supposed to pretend this illiterate goon has some deep interest in the study of history.

once again, it is a core belief of people on the american right that it should be illegal for you not to like them or want to be around them or work with them

Oh my god the New York Times just discovered bad faith right wing culture war tactics.

Happening now: protesters in Chicago are interrupting a hiring fair at the Congress Hotel, where U.S. Customs and Border protection is recruiting today. Banner reads, "stop kidnapping our neighbors!" It's quite the scene in here, and the DHS table has been blocked for several minutes already.

Well, I’m gonna insist that you listen to this. Definition of terms: “these people” = Latino migrants “Inner city people” = Black people “We tried to get them [inner city people] to do it” = slavery & sharecropping

It's really weird to demand accountability from a NYC mayoral candidate for a deadly NYC shooting rather than the current NYC mayor, an ex-cop who campaigned on a "tough on crime" platform and promptly got indicted for crimes

Excuse my language but what fucking business is it of the united states government whether Brown undertakes this kind of medical care for parents and their kids who fully consent to it and desire it? Insanity! Pure discrimination in an agreement trollingly cloaked in preventing discrimination.

Then why did you just vote to fund it?

good thing it only took tens of thousands of people dying and over 3,000 students arrested off campuses and Dems losing the 2024 election for the party to consider that what they were doing was extremely unpopular

Setting aside the fact that you cannot effectively stop an armed person who moves quickly and does not care if he lives or dies, how on Earth is this the responsibility of a person who is not in office as opposed to the actual damn mayor who was a cop and who has given the cops everything they want?

Hello. Little fact check here, it’s already illegal to open carry an AR in NYC!

earlier this month at a talk, I mentioned the 186,000 death toll in Gaza that was estimated in June 2024 in the medical journal the Lancet. watching people who were complicit or supportive of the war on Gaza, particularly under Biden, suddenly horrified 13 months later... is really something to see

Elon Musk's Grok AI supercomputer plant in Memphis uses three gas turbines to power it, and they pump out illegal and harmful levels of toxic nitrogen oxides into one of the already most smog-polluted cities in the US. It is mostly harming a large black community. capitalbnews.org/musk-xai-mem...

Epstein is an unending onion of demonstration of just how thoroughly this country does not care about girls and women being sexually assaulted.

There are still outlets refusing to commission pieces because of “bias” on the part of the author. places won’t publish my work on the border because I engage in mutual aid. They’d rather publish someone who never goes there. If you can’t see how fucking stupid this is right now idk what to tell you

What the fuck Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

I wrote about how Brad Pitt has effectively albeit transparently used F1: The Movie and its press tour to rehabilitate his image, in order to obscure the violent allegations about abuse toward Angelina Jolie & his current estrangement from his six kids, @vulture.com. www.vulture.com/article/brad...

pretty wild that ICE ERO is currently hiring Directors for 21 of its 25 Field Offices. must be some pretty severe turnover! www.usajobs.gov/job/840604700

A chart didn't make it into the piece — ICE has arrested >1,000 toddlers since 2023

Reps Nydia Velazquez and Adriano Espaillat back at 26 Federal Plaza trying to get information about people being held on the 10th floor by ICE, including several constituents of theirs who've been detained in recent days.

Just came through my desk: Per Los Angeles District Attorney, an armed off-duty U.S. Border Patrol Officer was charged with assaulting a Long Beach police officer and resisting arrest in the Shoreline Village parking lot in the city of Long Beach on July 7.

As @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social considers whether he would keep NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch, the brother of Allan Feliz had this message for him: hellgatenyc.com/nypd-trial-j...

LA Taco doing great work covering the human aspect of this. Some in treating things to add that isn’t elsewhere: According to the company, “Glass House Farms were visited today by ICE Officials. The company fully complied with agent search warrants and will provide further updates if necessary”

This is the archetypal Brownshirt. Not even exaggerating. The literature describes them and the Stalhelm guys who preceded them in almost the exact same terms.

adam's substack is one of the most useful sources of Supreme Court analysis right now. it's refreshing to see someone enter the conversation with actual data.

Breaking: per FEMA sources Kristi Noem was responsible for THREE DAY DELAY in deploying search-and-rescue in Texas Fire her. Blood on her hands.

Every American should read this ACLU lawsuit about what is happening in Los Angeles and California. It is the stuff of dystopian nightmares. This is not immigration enforcement. It is positively stuffed with videos and articles documenting racial profiling on a scale unseen since Jim Crow.

This is a homophobic crackdown by the CCP entirely in line with its reactionary politics Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Not sure if this is something you could help with, but my friend in Austin posted this. An art gallery is collecting items to help people in Kerrville.

It's a function of the manipulation of the attention economy that everyone (including me!) is talking about a NYT article sourced from a Nazi and not the fucking concentration camps Moreover, ICE must be destroyed
