trying to get Axios to quote me saying "JD Vance gargle my balls" or something of that nature

Remembering today that having your heart broken is a necessary step on the path to becoming fully human. Whichever heartbreak is your first, it’s probably critical that a state break your heart so that you can develop a political imagination. If this is your first, I’m sorry and also welcome.

It's absolute posting malpractice to share unsourced video in this day and age of AI

I may be wrong about this: I am hearing from someone that the location is Sacramento, not Minnesota explaining some of the disconnect in weather. However: I stand by my position that if you are going to amplify video like this you should know what it is and where it comes from, and TELL OTHERS.

i have a professional google workspace account and check weekly that Gemini is turned off, on a few occasions small, unnoticeable functions are turned back on. i seem to have to double and triple check those functions remain off.

This is almost certainly a fake and I am begging people to stop circulating it.

Apple already has this and it is one of the worst AI-based features I've seen yet. What makes it so terrible is that it sees the urgent words used in phishing scams and flags them as priority items. That makes it *worse* than useless. It's dangerous for those who fall for scams.

Home is where the ice packs are

I will not be following this new food pyramid because I would like to live. I like not having high cholesterol. I like not having gout.

Once again running into the joyless experience of an understaffed retail pharmacy immediately following oral surgery.

It’s important for ICE officers to wear masks to stop people like … [checks note] … the DHS secretary from doxxing them.

JUST IN: Reps. Massie and Khanna say "DOJ cannot be trusted" to release all of the Epstein files, urge a federal judge to appoint an independent overseer to make it happen. khanna.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

the thing that drives me crazy is people putting the weights in the wrong place, as if it is somehow too difficult to put the 10 pound plate on the 10 pound plate rack

I have been struck by the inefficiency of ICE operations in Massachusetts. Things like 6 plainclothes agents spending all day outside one house then giving up and leaving once they realize they've been identified. They are now focusing on courthouses because they can grab people with less friction.

Daniel is local

Important to know that Dan Rosen has not yet even been in office for three months and never had criminal prosecution experience before becoming the U.S. Attorney in October. He also moved back from Florida (Key Biscayne) to Minnesota when he became the U.S. Attorney.

her drift toward highly profitable anti-vaccine politics continues…

the writer of this — emily oster — works with bari weiss and has a show with The Free Press, and that’s all you need to know

I have not seen anything to verify that this isn't AI and the light looks strange in places for nighttime. I see a lot of people circulating it, but I would be cautious about this one.

Rumor going around town that ICE is going to be targeting local schools during drop offs and pick ups. Had to have a serious conversation with other parents about strategies to keep our kids and their parents safe. People are crying, terrified. But at least we’re free from terrorism

I am so tired of debating “progressives” who say they appreciate how RFK Jr is going after food dyes 🤯 And his new diet guidelines telling people to eat more red meat & fat & dairy? Harmful. Plus half the guideline ‘experts’ who wrote them have financial ties to the dairy & livestock industry 😳

NYT has an economics professor tell readers that eating a low-fiber diet full of saturated fat, cholesterol, and excess protein, mostly from red meat (along with as much alcohol as you want!) is healthy. Nutrition scientists, as well as anyone with common sense, know better.

Practically, unless something changes, Rosen's intervention means there will be no independent police agency investigating the shooting. It will be left entirely to Kash Patel's FBI. Any chance of state charges will be entirely reliant on the FBI investigation and what evidence it decides to share.

Minnesota AG Keith Ellison said yesterday that state officials had already opened their own investigation. But he said this after the FBI agreed to cooperate with BCA, and before Rosen intevened. According to my sources, BCA has now pulled out of the investigation.

According to my sources, the FBI was initially open to a concurrent investigation with the MN Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (the state agency that would do this investigation). Trumpy U.S. Attorney Daniel Rosen heard about this and intervened, barring the FBI from cooperating with local police.

When I say you should never hand it to RFK Jr. for a handful of obvious points about nutrition this is why.

It is abhorrent to refer to any person as "damaged," independent of the rancorous ableism underpinning the commentary. Wakefield has no right to call himself Dr. anymore.

An aside about this prediction - which is holding up well so far today - is that it is rooted in the memory of the shootout following the Boston Marathon bombing, where a transit officer nearly died after being shot by another officer on site at the shootout. The shooter's name was never disclosed.

This is *definitely* how you behave when you're trying to bring every resource to bear, rather than trying to cover up the unlawful behavior of your own personnel.

This is a good moment where I'm not picking on anyone in particular to say that this is an illustration of why some on here want "dismantle DHS" to become as common a slogan as "abolish ICE" - ICE is not the only lawless agency within DHS.

MINNEAPOLIS, United States -- Paramilitary forces under the command of President Trump expanded their campaign of terrorism to a new major American city, attacking a school and killing an unarmed civilian attempting to flee the violence.

BREAKING: Minnesota investigators say they can't access evidence after fatal ICE shooting and the FBI won't work jointly on probe. Follow for live updates.

There's at least 4 videos of and at least a dozen eyewitnesses to this killing. If DOJ won't cooperate then charge Bovino and make his defense counsel produce the evidence during trial.

Y'know, in between all the apologies for fascism, British nationalism, gleeful transphobia and general anti-woke psychosis, it's easy to forget that the Spectator consistently features some of the *worst* fucking food writing on the planet

"You deserve to die if you disagree with us" is their position. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Bovino is thirstier than sheriffs, a high bar

I have two reactions: 1. Begging our leaders start thinking about broken systems and institutions instead of "bad apples" 2. It's disappointing to hear Jeffries say that this is not a time to politicize her death, because this is the time! Right now!

ah emily oster, who represents the soft MAHA views of a lot of influential people

now this might read like pick-me energy

was talking to my girlfriend, who unlike emily oster is actually a dietician, and she was saying that basically the problem with "real food" is that it's branding, not nutritional advice. what does it mean to eat "real food" practically?

This video analysis is damning. The federal agent who shot and killed Renee Good was never in any danger, was not injured in the slightest, and fled the scene shortly after.

🚨 Flu activity is at very high levels. Sadly, 4 children & 29 adults have died this season, including 2 kids in Boston. 💉 Get vaccinated, it's not too late. 🤒 Contact your doctor early if experiencing symptoms. Antivirals can help reduce severity. https://camb.ma/4qfmGwf

For people who don't want to watch the video, this is a good breakdown. Description since there's no alt text: The first frame shows the agent drawing his weapon while standing at the front corner of the car. The second frame is after the shot is fired and shows the agent's feet clear of the car.

Dokoupil traveling by private jet to every place in the county where bad things happen to regurgitate right wing talking points like an even shittier version of Kirk Herbstreit.

A six year old’s mother was shot in the face and killed by a masked agent of the state and Kyle is cracking jokes about that time he killed a couple people, which is the only notable thing he’s ever done in his life.

Kyle Rittenhouse was an honored guest at a 2024 gathering of Oregon Republican activists. This is the monstrously depraved tweet he sent tonight. These are the people who claim to be defending Christianity and “western civilization.”

Again, the US president, his government officials, and supporters, are all lying to you about what happened here. This video clearly demonstrates the vehicle was not driving towards the ICE agent.

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.
