There's no ICE accountability without ending qualified immunity. They're murdering people. There won't be justice for the lives they've stolen, but there must be accountability. My bill with @markey.senate.gov would ensure families can sue the agents murdering their loved ones.

8th circuit gives ICE go ahead to use force against peaceful demonstrators, a decision which will immediately lead to injury.

No, Amazon Studios, you left something unfinished. Pick it back up where you paused. Start Season 4 of The Wheel of Time. The audience is still here. Waiting. #SaveWOT

Susan Ivanova is a great role model. Her words and actions in Babylon 5 Season 1 episode "The War Prayer" show how you deal with fascism. Expunge fascists from your life without remorse, and only regret that you didn't remove them sooner.

I don't want to share the actual videos, because no one should stumble upon them without warning, but this analysis by NYT reporters is important. ICE agents straight up murdered someone and fled the scene of their crime. They are cowards, criminals, and disgusting excuses for human beings.

My old pal @eniiler.bsky.social with a killer story. What we save defines us as a culture—the archive is our memory and our future. And we’re throwing it away? Madness. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/31/c...

I saw screenshots this morning of Trump threatening members of Congress with death for this video but I hadn't seen the video. So if, like me, you've been inadequately online this week, this is what Trump thinks is worthy of EXECUTION.

11 Nov 2025 -- California Supreme Court rules that LGBTQ+ anti-discrimination law protects elderly trans residents in long-term care from being misgendered and mispronouned after a lower CA court held that employees could do so bec. of their 1st Amendment rights @rikiwilchins.bsky.social

The far right is obsessed with Lord of the Rings and Musk keeps posting about "hobbits" because modern scientific racism owes more to fantasy worlds and gaming systems than genetic science, and they see both as effective mediums for right-wing propaganda www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

BREAKING: Friday night massacre underway at CDC. Doznes of "disease detectives," high-level scientists, entire Washington staff and editors of the MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) have all been RIFed and received the following notice:

The Sora AI thing is proof of something very important: The technology itself is useless without the ability to use the likenesses of real, living, unpredictable people, and the art they create. And the only way to get those likenesses or that art is to summarily steal it.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Sens. Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock are asking Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem for answers after more than a dozen people died in immigration detention, as the department rushes to expand.

On September 11, thousands of innocent lives were lost in an unthinkable tragedy that profoundly changed our nation. On this day of remembrance, we mourn the lives lost, honor the heroism of our first responders, and reflect on the resilience of the American people.

Holy shit.

Yeah, we're cooked. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8S8pVQq/

The world may be burning but art will remain

Trans lives matter. That's it. That's the skeet.

NEW: At least 2 people were being transported to a Denver-area hospital after a shooting involving an “active assailant” at Evergreen High School in Jefferson County, officials said Wednesday afternoon // Story by @katielang.bsky.social

JUST IN: Three people are in critical condition after a shooting at Evergreen High School in Evergreen, Colorado, according to St. Anthony’s Hospital. https://cnn.it/46fImzg

So, right now, the only reliable way to diagnose endometriosis is with exploratory surgery. But finally, real scientists (instead of male scientists), are on the job & of course they’ve identified multiple markers in menstrual blood that point to noninvasive testing. www.science.org/content/arti...

A judge in Massachusetts today issued what I think is the first judgment against the DOJ's attempt to subpoena doctors who treat trans patients. The judge quashed the subpoena the DOJ issued against Boston Children's Hospital, home to the country's first gender clinic for adolescents.

California, when?? This is the direction we should be going in! Free childcare for parents and better (more than livable wages plz!) pay for caregivers. I don't have kids, I don't want kids, but this is where I want my tax dollars going! This is how we invest in the future.

🤮🤮🤮

The destruction of our economy is happening at breakneck speed. It will take years to rebuild, if at all, because trust in the US is gone. When one party can undo everything enacted by the last and the American ppl cannot be trusted to vote in their best interest, companies don’t invest or expand.

This story has it all: aquaculture, Black Flag, Bernie Sanders, Star Trek as policy, John Hodgman, male tears, and a candidate citing Luthen’s monologue from Andor. Meet Graham Platner, the Maine oysterman trying to crack the senate. @grahamformaine.bsky.social newrepublic.com/article/1996...

They're openly calling to lock up every trans person by force. We need every ally to speak out forcefully against this because trans folks cannot do this on our own.

A federal court ruled that ANTHROPIC illegally copied MILLIONS of books to train its AI. All authors and publishers whose books were downloaded by Anthropic from pirate websites are subject to receiving compensation. This could involve your work. For more info: authorsguild.org/news/anthrop...

If Campbell had been hit by a bus in 1929, the "golden age" of US science fiction would be different, as would what's "classic" in the genre, because *what was allowed to be published* in the genre would have been filtered in another way through another (probably) man, with other specific tastes.

In most documet editors you can customize the heading styles, so you can still get the specific look you want while also being accessible!

I think that's one of the hardest things about this disease. It's the ONLY organ where ONLY afab people are expected to experience regular pain. How much pain is too much pain? That "measuring" is such a mental burden. And then you ask "why am I expected to feel pain at all?" And then, anger.

Bravo to the @miamiherald.com for publishing this list in full www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

HOT FRESH POTS 🔥

The new Murderbot short story is up at Reactor Magazine: reactormag.com/rapport-mart... Edited by Lee Harris, art by Jaime Jones.

Your 🚨final reminder🚨 that we have a new Murderbot short story coming out right here at Reactor, tonight after the season finale! Okay ty enjoy hehe #Murderbot

I think Ketanji Brown Jackson's dissents are an important exception to the "Supreme Court dissents don't matter" rule of thumb, because she is using them not to argue with the conservative justices, but to explain to the public that the conservative justices are liars and in the tank for Trump

“If beekeepers fail, there is no backup plan for the pollination services they provide in US food production,” she says. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I can't wait to meet ART!! www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/m...

I'm just a few min into this video, but I already want to scream at whomever sold the lie that you need a lot of computational power to get to Mars, and at an educational system that is failing the US in basic reasoning.

whenever i see grok screenshots i remember how it's running on methane-gas generators in a black neighborhood in memphis www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

More ART! More ART! More ART!!!!

This is a new Murderbot short story, coming out later this week on Reactor Magazine. It’s about ART and its crew, set before Network Effect, and how ART finally decided to tell them about meeting a rogue SecUnit.

Here’s a graph about Medicaid that everyone needs to see: open.substack.com/pub/paulkrug...

Oh so Senate Republicans ADMIT that the Big Beautiful Bill cuts Medicaid. Their bill effectively defunds rural hospitals. Some simple math: $15 billion does not plug a nearly $1 trillion hole. It doesn't add up! This is a self-inflicted wound and this band-aid won't heal it.

What I’m saying is, come disassociate with us #murderbot

Turns out all the major LLMs (GPT-4, Claude, Gemini, Llama 3) struggle to understand Gen Alpha phrases, like "let him cook", "ate that up", "got ratioed", "secure the bag" etc. Research paper written by a soon-to-be 9th grader www.404media.co/ai-models-an...
