Not sure if “calling for” means “I will ask my droogs in Congress” or “I will issue a crayoned executive order” or “do it or I will send ICE agents to your daughter’s sweet 16”

I saw this video of a Vietnam vet in the fur coat yelling at ICE and thought to myself, "this is missing something," before I realized, "Ah, of course, the Ether instrumental. It's so obvious."

BREAKING: The Washington National Opera is leaving its longtime home at the Kennedy Center. Opera leadership said the decision stemmed from a drop in attendance and a decline in donor contributions in the wake of Donald Trump’s takeover of the venue.

The tragic death of Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year old mother fatally shot by ICE, shows that ICE can’t be reformed and must be abolished. I’ll be introducing the Abolish ICE Act as a step toward justice, accountability, and humanity in our immigration policy. Time to melt ICE.

The U.S. naval blockade of Venezuela has already cost taxpayers $700 million. And the cost is of this operation is increasing by $9 million every day.

So many charts today. All saying the same thing. 🇺🇸

EXCLUSIVE: Leaked WhatsApp messages show Labour MPs urging govt to leave X, arguing that it should "show direction to others in the UK" The MPs said X owner Elon Musk is "fascist" and that the platform's AI tool, Grok, had put "children in harm's way"

This Minneapolis ICE shooting video has become a political Rorschach test: Some people see a peaceful protester getting murdered, and other people are fascists

La serie entera sobre el CES de @edzitron.com está siendo cojonuda, pero en particular la explicación de la tragedia provocada por Nvidia con la Ram y como va a desatar la la economía en todas direcciones es la más clara que he leído/escuchado hasta la fecha Episode: omny.fm/shows/better...

Starting to think that as society we didn’t consider how slippery the legalized gambling slope would be

Igual es anecdótico, pero un colega me comparte esto. Ninguna oferta de trabajo activa en construcción en el estado de Michigan

Something I always wondered is how it would be covered if America became a dictatorship This is it

Gets it right.

The CES Award for "Most Justified Use of Creepy Surveillance Tech" goes to Smart Eye, who have developed an optical recognition system that can tell when you're drunk. They have several versions but the one in this video actually hides the camera in a screen, so the driver can't see it.

As promised, audio of Intuit CMO Thomas Ranese answering my questions is in today's episode of It Could Happen Here. You can also listen to him admit he has no idea what happens when your financial data gets stolen here.

JAJAJAJA JAJAJAJA JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJA.

I checked out his timeline, and guy Musk is promoting (someone with >100k followers) is just posting straight up Stormfront ca. 2005 material, or White Aryan Resistance material ca.1989. The world’s richest man and the GOP’s most important funder has turned X into Stormfront.

Funniest part of The Naked Gun reboot imo:

Under King Vance, the murder of US citizens will be grounded in a coherent ideology. by Curtis Yarvin

A Republican House member endorsing the open murder of an American on the streets of Minneapolis.

Oh sorry, I haven’t been online that much tonight, I’ve been forced to help organize a safety patrol at my kid’s daycare, because ICE stopped by today.

Grandma was watching the news about the ICE shooting that happened today. Grandma: “What does ICE stand for?” Me: “Immigration and Customs Enforcement. They—” Grandma: “Oh, so they’re Nazis.” If Holocaust survivors can tell, so should everyone else.

En España, la mayoría de los análisis de la derecha sobre cualquier tema pasan por el filtro delirante del antisanchismo, y como consecuencia son auténticas gilipolleces.

we've reached the 'Bellingcat investigations in your country' part of the authoritarian program

Here's part 5 of this week's Better Offline coverage of the Consumer Electronics show, featuring @adamconover.net @edwardongwesojr.com @chloebadcliffe.bsky.social @karissabe.bsky.social @iwriteok.bsky.social @advisorator.com podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b... linktr.ee/betteroffline

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

These @iampoliticsgirl.bsky.social faces are all of us

Wrote a piece for @slate.com explaining that states have a long history of prosecuting federal officers when they allegedly use excessive force. Federal officers are only immune from such prosecutions when they act reasonably in carrying out lawful duties.

There are only three possible outcomes for undocumented immigrants in this country: mass deportation, amnesty, or legal limbo (i.e., status quo for last 40 years). The first causes violence in communities and harassment of citizens. The third quietly ruins people's lives, as opportunities pass them.

If you are running as a Democrat in the 2026 or 2028 elections, ask yourself, do you really want to be running to the right of Bill Kristol in terms of dismantling an authoritarian police state?

This is for real -- post away, but post like ICE and your future potential employers are watching. (Also just don't be jerks, that goes a really long way)

I asked the lady at the booth if this was another "AI agent" and she said no "we prefer the term tiny people". The difference she says is that your tiny person will develop "their own feelings, emotions and core beliefs" which helps them better serve you somehow. There is no demo available.

This is my CES 2026 thread of AI slop. First off: astrologers, prepare to be out of a job! This bold new company is bringing AI to the world of Horoscopes and for some reason merging that with a visibly unwell Furby. Bonus: borderline illegal claims that it can "cure" certain behaviors.

Lo de ICE en Mineapolis:

ICE agent allegedly shot & killed a woman driving through an immigration raid in Minneapolis this morning. According to video of aftermath it appears the woman's wife & dog were in the car when she was shot in the head. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...
