Warnings to citizens to evacuate 3 days into this war, when airspace is closed, is a clear sign of ZERO strategy and planning by the Trump admin. Now Americans have limited options to evacuate at an extremely dangerous moment with no government assistance. This admin is failing its citizens.

Trump went from an obviously fake “No More Forever Wars” to “No! More Forever Wars” pretty fast

What's scary about this story is the surveillance it hints at. This trans woman had changed her name, legally, but chose not to change her gender marker. She was apparently flagged in the DMV system as trans and her license was invalidated under a law that supposedly only concerned gender markers.

friend sent this over from the other place and unfortunately I did laugh

“We thought we were living in a politically neutral slave state.”

We literally had this, down to the Panda. But Panda 2 was not (obviously) the same as OG Panda so we still had to find it and then there were 2 Pandas to keep tabs on. BTW Panda 2 became Spare Panda = Spanda. Panda 3, eXtra Panda = Xanda. It can snowball.

You cannot talk like this about any other minority in America. And if it was any other president’s adviser who said something like this about any other minority, it’d be the instant end of their presidency.

Holds up

How many of them will tell you he’s an aspiring dictator when they’re begging for $5, then go sit politely with their hands folded for tonight’s rant, as though he’s just another legitimate president with whom they have some policy disagreements.

what even is the fucking point

Suprematism, by Nikolai Suetin, 1920-21, 📸 by @tiltoncreative

Incredible opinion. It holds that the common ICE tactic of jumping out of an unidentified rental vehicle and seizing suspected noncitizens while masked violates the Fourth Amendment because the *manner* of the seizure is incompatible with a free society governed by the rule of law.

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

Stephen Colbert blasted Brendan Carr after FCC scrutiny led CBS to pull an interview with Texas State Rep James Talarico. Instead, 'The Late Show' posted it to YouTube.

Have you ever once seen the New York Times quote Trump like this?

Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon. Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.

They could build a wall around Vought’s home out of the bones of all the children killed from cutting USAID

Elon Musk genuinely has to be regarded as one of history’s pre-eminent mass murderers

I need to know everything about job #6 right now

I don't mean that in a religious sense, even. I mean spirit in the sense of, that which makes us special and wonderful and unique as humans experiencing the world together. LLMs, at least as they have been trained and presented to us, are spiritually offensive.

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

Sometimes very hard not to feel like the rest of the country has abandoned Minnesota. We STILL have ICE everywhere. Our schools, businesses, and economy are in profound crisis. But without Bovino here throwing tear gas, much of the country seems to not care at all what’s being done to us.

Jesus wtf

Yes! Kill the Ring camera. Kill it dead.

I will not support any funding deal that puts money in the hands of Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, and this violent agency. Defund and abolish ICE now.

These subhuman freaks are utterly unable to handle dissent and activism. Keep doing it.

Ring is a wildly dangerous company. Always has been. But it has sort of flown under the radar the last couple years as it tried to soften its image. Make no mistake that this is an extremely dangerous surveillance dragnet: www.404media.co/with-ring-am...

Post a banger that is not in English. This song was the lead-off to a mixtape made by a wild-eyed Englishman who ran rock climbing trips at a summer camp in the Poconos. Nobody but him seemingly knew what the song was even called, much less what it was about (soccer), but it sure got us hyped.

why do you need to observe your house if you're not in it. you are giving yourself an opt-in mental illness. no one has to live like this

If you missed the ad for explicit surveillance technology the Confederacy would've absolutely loved

Seriously. “My wife just left me. Find her.”

I really hope these people get the backlash that they are rightly due. Will enjoy the inevitable whacking day celebration.

Disturbingly detailed analysis of my first rewatch incoming

I tell you what, Ring figured out exactly how to weaponize white people’s empathy in service to a corporately controlled surveillance state. Tell them it will find your dog.

quiet, piggy

The secret to success in any creative field in the future is not going to be making interchangeable formulaic crap. It's going to be making stuff only you could make.

No Kings includes Draft Kings

If you're a business owner who fires someone you have assigned to an overseas job and you don't buy them a plane ticket home you should actually go to prison

JD Vance getting booed, as called around the world (auto transcribed & translated, mostly):

I'm sorry the guy changing the rules on the fly is named what

Everyone in the White House involved in any way with that vile, sickening racist Trump post must be fired immediately: everyone in the communications department, everyone in the press office, every deputy chief of staff, everyone involved up and down the line. Not one more tax dollar for this filth.

Again they took away your incredibly meager healthcare and gave your money to the child-snatching squad

This is about The Washington Post but it is also about the slow death of movie theaters, of book stores—the rapid integration of AI into schools—the Kennedy Center—the way so many people in power are afraid of art (and wow even sports) for the power it has to give people common language and cause.

This is tremendous. Take the time to watch it.

In no functioning country is this allowed.

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

BREAKING: The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.

straight up Gestapo shit
