Just as ICE and CBP have no legitimate role in "election security" neither does the head of DHS. The mere existence of this press conference should be a scandal, much less this tone-deaf comment.

All of my group chats are responding to Homan’s announcement by asking everyone to double down because: 1. ICE is still out there and abducting people today. We can’t trust the occupation is over until we actually see it. 2. People are going to be in an economic crisis for a very long time.

I do not wish to be mean, but if I hear you in the year 2026 claiming that Elon Musk "saved free speech" from "leftist censors" I am going to question your judgment on pretty much everything else, because you do not live in reality.

For people impressed by the 130k jobs added in January, I'd offer and alternative economic analysis that I think you'll find compelling. www.thebulwark.com/p/shock-poll...

You’ve got to FIGHT For your RIGHT To PARTY WITH PEOPLE WHO FUCK KIDS

This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here. (clip via MPR and @davidjbier.bsky.social on X)

Minneapolis should press its momentum and demand not only withdrawal but start talking about the need for immediate reparations, loudly, with the total certainty that only winners have. "You have wronged us terribly and must pay recompense" and let them argue the second part.

This is so unhinged

@techpolicypress.bsky.social was kind enough to host my reflections on just how far we’ve already come with AI-assisted content moderation. We’ve got a long way to go, but the difficulties that used to serve as (legitimate) excuses are fading fast. www.techpolicy.press/ai-is-removi...

Scrolling through the photos of Pam Bondi's "Minnesota rioters," it's just hero after hero. Every photo includes a cowardly DHS agent with their back to the camera. Bondi thinks she's going to win the propaganda war with this shit, but it's never been more clear that they're losing.

People not in Minneapolis spreading the theory that Pretti was targeted in a hit do not understand the damage they’re potentially doing. Insanely irresponsible

Guys maybe the number one obstacle to organizing here in Minneapolis is the unfounded fear that if you get involved, DHS will put you on a list and assassinate you. It leads people to avoid organizing or act in ways that are completely detrimental to organizing. Please please do not spread that fear

This isn't fixed with better training.

MN > ICE

Yep, the shootings were clearly great politics for the White House just like the White House said.

what will likely be my final words to greg bovino

We just shipped image classification on Zentropi! You can write your criteria in plain English, then analyze images against them at scale using cope-b-12b, a new multimodal model we trained Critically, @samidh.bsky.social used it to make a cat detector: blog.zentropi.ai/zentropi-now-labels-images/

A lot of the time, specific people and organizations are the problem, and an unwillingness to say that clearly is, itself, a part of that problem.

the purpose of Christian compassion is to let it be weaponized against you. you are meant to die of it if necessary.

I don't think it matters whether or not Alex Pretti had a gun www.theverge.com/policy/86745...

From the NY Post. You know they are really scrambling when they are running "The gun was no angel" stories.

Those blaming failure to "reduce tensions" by telling protestors to stay home want you to be ok with/forget that masked federal thugs just murdered a man in broad daylight It's not a time to reduce tension. It's a time to stand up in overwhelming numbers They SHOULD be afraid of what happens next

Please reshare the below post, unfortunately some accounts with lots of followers have reposted the false claim and loads of people are falling for it.

By who? Who shot the person dead? You saw the video. We all know a federal agent shot a man dead who was prone on the ground. Also, it's not "according to officials." It's according to verified video seen with your eyes. Not saying what anyone can obviously see with their eyes is a form of lying.

Let’s be clear about something: This was an execution. Rep. Moulton voted No on the Homeland Security approps bill this week. Not a single Democratic Senator should vote Yes on that funding bill now. We cannot provide more resources to ICE or CBP. None of this is acceptable.

Why is Dem leadership not on the ground in MN? If the answer is “polls show Trump’s disapproval is only -15 on deportations, but -25 on prices,” thats a Bad Use Of Polling and a complete failure in their capacity as leaders to lead public opinion and fight for democracy and the rule of law

The way to reconcile this is their aspiration was always to put down a slave revolt, not fight in one. bsky.app/profile/osit...

What is happening on the streets of the US with “Law Enforcement” agents killing people is disgusting, horrific and outrageous. I don’t have a take. I don’t have words. I don’t have advice for how to fight back. I am just grieving.

There is no redeeming this, no amount of training that can fix the rot at the heart of this institution. Any Democratic official that votes to give this agency a penny is betraying our country.

/2 Never mind. Apparently there is an electrical issue on the plane. Specifically, between neurons.

My statement on funding DHS: The proposed Appropriations bill for the Department of Homeland Security released today puts no meaningful constraints on the growing lawlessness of ICE, and increases funding for detention over the last Appropriations bill passed in 2024.

every single goddam crisis happening right now is self imposed

These are concentration camps. And these are the numbers they're comfortable sharing.

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic. The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.

Why are we just giving away all our secrets? Well, it is our hope that it helps the ecosystem further advance the state of the art in policy-steerable content classification, which is foundational to a more trustworthy internet.

We just published the methodology behind CoPE, our 9B parameter model that matches GPT-4o at content classification at 1% the size! The model is already open source, but now we're sharing our training technique. blog.zentropi.ai/how-we-built... 🧵 1/6

Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.

"This long ago stopped being a campaign of organized immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of Minnesota by our own federal government."

over the course of 1871, congress held seven months of hearings on ku klux klan and other white vigilante violence in the south, they took detailed testimony from hundreds of black men and women attesting to klan terror. (1/?)

we should want to make it undeniable that there is no choice but to end ICE, prosecute its officers for lawbreaking, and fundamentally rethink immigration enforcement.

Between this and LoTR, these guys are never, ever, beating the allegation that they are incapable of understanding the message of any of the fiction they read. Just the most flat, surface level engagement imaginable. We need more mandatory humanities classes.

Dave just published a Zentropi labeler that can precisely identify requests at prompting an AI model to undress a person in a photo. The tools exist to easily deal with this problem -- platforms just need to choose to use them. If you are the developer of an AI system, please use this guardrail!

Over the weekend I used Zentropi to build a labeler that blocks requests to use AI to undress or sexualize real people. The labeler itself took maybe 30 minutes to a first solid draft, with another 30 minutes of tweaking. In my testing it's got an F1 of .98 on real examples pulled from X. 🧵 1/6

Holy shit moment. Good statement. The corrupt authoritarians and oligarchs are at the gates. There’s no alternative to fierce resistance and putting down their lawless crusade against the American Republic. x.com/federalreser...

Elon Musk calling accountability for nonconsensual sexual images an "excuse of for censorship" perfectly exposes the lie at the heart of his "censorship industrial complex" crusade. When addressing abusive material of women and children is labeled "censorship," the term has lost all meaning.

After years of hunting down and demonising T&S folks, researchers, defunding orgs, suing advertising orgs etc…. We finally see overtly that the free speech absolutism agenda was about cover for pedophilia and abuse of women.
