This guy is someone I'd like to know

An award-winning reporter was deported. Another was detained for weeks in ICE detention. Still others have been maimed, arrested, run down, had their devices seized, their apartments raided, clearances stripped, etc., etc. The WH Correspondents wore hankies in their breast pockets and kept drinking

Thanks Biden!

I suspect AI use in another aspect of the project I'm working on. Sigh. This one's not as egregious as the last, but the nuance has been stripped away. Nuance is important in qualitative research!

Asylum is a human right: KNOW THAT

Cf. the Bezos Post, "Republicans gerrymandering in Texas is fine, actually" b/w "Democrats gerrymandering in Virginia is a threat to democracy"

There must be a Tim Infowars somewhere in the world

Helped me understand why Dem candidates are so rare in GA for the Supreme Court. Anyhoo, Jen Jordan and Miracle Rankin are on the ballot against incumbents!

This is really satisfying.

Ok there's a lot of Democratic candidates on this ballot! So glad the party is not conceding space. ALSO we have ballot questions, which have no effect on anything other than shaping public opinion, raising awareness, but that's good & I don't remember seeing them from Dems b4. I need to research!

Georgia voters! Today is the last day you can register to vote in the upcoming primaries elections on May 19th! If you are already registered go to mvp.sos.ga.gov to check to make sure your status is active and info is correct. Also double-check your polling place because things change.

Moki Macias, executive director of the Policing Alternatives and Diversions Initiative, says PAD is prepared to provide community response every day during the World Cup from 7 a.m. to 12 a.m., she says PAD needs 311 to match those hours to assist with response.

This morning a coalition of organizations including the fire fighters union, PAD and immigrants rights groups held a press conference outside city hall to demand the city honor the firefighter union contract, honor its diversion contract with PAD, end collaboration with ice and increase housing.

Maga-Howl, with apologies to Allen Ginsberg. I saw the most median minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical red-hatted, dragging themselves through the DC streets at dawn looking for an election fix, (1/x)

Fascism's Gritty is so on the nose

Knowledgeable people saying that Wyden's 'secret interpretation of surveillance law' suggests use of LLMs, could you please address this?

I have exceeded many limits in my life but rate is not one of them and I resent the accusation

Testing

What was if there was an org that, for free, helps survivors document their experiences & potentially (& privately, with permission & without involving authorities) connects survivors & locates serial perpetrators? That’s what Callisto does. My dream one day is for it to be available to all. 💚🙏🏻🔥👊🏻

Eeeek! Look what we got tonight! Undernourished, but we're gonna do our bestest

Every April I rage at how the GA tax structure is made for big business. I sometimes owe federal tax; I always owe GA tax. How can that be when it's a flat rate of 5.19%? Because there are no breaks for serfs like me. Read through the tax credits GA offers, they are all for business owners.

I don't usually repost potentially triggering stuff (warning: sexual assault content!). But I feel like this woman's story should be everywhere right now. It's worse than you thought, and also she's a queen.

“For thirty years I sought God. But when I looked carefully I found that in reality God was the seeker and I the sought.” -Abu Yazid al-Bistami Sufis are so good at words.

This Emancipation Day JOIN US as we honor a DC elder in the movement. Anise Jenkins is an American activist in the Statehood movement in the District of Columbia and serves as the executive director of Stand Up! for Democracy in DC (the original #FreeDC OG). Register here: bit.ly/emancipation...

So I guess the car loan interest deduction is just a giveaway to dealerships, to temporarily boost their business. If you bought a new car in 2025, you qualify. But if like me you bought a new car in 2024, you don't. #itsallrigged

so so many people here spontaneously erupting in chants that translate to "it's over! it's over!" not even 10pm here and unfortunately I'm already getting a bit emotional

It is the hardest thing I have ever done, and I was 22 at the time of the trial. If you have not done this, if you have not been through it, you have NO RIGHT to question any other victim’s decision to not report and not come forward. It changed the entire trajectory of my life.

REDUNDANCIES. Redundancies are the best tech innovation.

It's complete freefall after they after atmosphere, correct?

I need the splashdown to uplift me. Make me cry. I am so loooooooowwww today.

I guess I have to start every new project with a team conversation about AI. People in my industry do not seem to know that it will make things up that sound true. Perfect data, perfect sources, exactly what you hoped to find. If it's too good to be true, IT'S TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE.

I'm not an expert on concentration camps, but I would guess that increasing death by medical neglect is a harbinger of much worse things

I would like to talk more about how ICE shot someone else yesterday and he is in critical condition! The coverage is really horrifying because DHS is giving a similar story to the one they gave about Renee Good and so much news coverage is just buying it. Please talk about Carlos Mendoza Hernandez.

Timeline cleanse, featuring the majestic sea flap-flaps (aka mobula rays). They're a migratory animal, moving from one part of the ocean to another in large groups called "fevers". They migrate to follow upwellings that enrich for zooplankton food items & to visit their breeding grounds. (📷:OCR)

It is. It's a terrible law that shouldn't exist. Yet it is precisely because of the civil disobedience of the Iranian people that enforcement is declining and attitudes are changing. It's the same type of resistance you may see against Trump. But no one says bombing americans is the solution there

This is so cool

I can't wait to see the photos they are getting in space today. Hope they do justice to what the astronauts are describing.

omg I just burst into tears when Glover's wife? daughter? was said to be in the viewing room and Glover said 'hey babe, love you to the moon' waaaaahhhhhhh

Listen to the astronauts describing not just the amazing stuff they're seeing but also the great discussions they are having with each other, sharing perspectives and reaching new insights together. They had one team in the cabin and another purely doing observation together, then switched roles.

'Again, thanks to Earth President Stacey Abrams for unifying nations in our mission. With the establishment of peace, the Federation is ready to accept our membership and the alien conclave is preparing to land in Oslo."

Listening to the lunar flyby it's amazing how little we know about moon geography. I guess photos from drones don't give as much information as I assumed.

The @washingtonpost.com describes the deaths of an estimated 750,000 people to date as "messy"

In general there's not much to like lately, everything sucks, not sure why this is bluesky's problem

Huge, impactful, disastrous move by Trump being almost totally ignored or misreported by major news organizations: www.hatchmag.com/articles/tru...

All but three (!) of the 1,651 refugees admitted into the United States in the three most recent months we have data are white South Africans. For comparison, in 2024, the U.S. admitted 100,060 refugees. It's an explicit white supremacist project. www.rpc.state.gov/documents/Re...
