Nothing says America First like bailing out Argentina while making healthcare unaffordable for 20+ million Americans. Or signing an Article 5 protection treaty with Qatar coz they bribed you with a plane, while screwing over longstanding NATO allies. Folks, I think America First might be a scam.

Here’s an idea for a reporter: Gather some retired cops or MPs together and show them how ICE handles hecklers and protesters. I guarantee you’ll get some amazing copy. Especially if your outlet lets you reprint profanity.

Genuinely incredible how unprofessional these guys are. One dude yelling in your face and you immediately assault them on camera?

oh I don’t just have a weekly YouTube show, a brand new special coming Wednesday, October 8 and a 26 City live tour to launch, I also have a Patreon and a Substack that I would love you to follow!.Always workin. Always hustling.

Reuters gathered an expansive set of arrest records in D.C. since Trump's show of force began. The number of arrests -- a key measure of law enforcement activity, not necessarily of crime -- barely changed. www.reuters.com/world/us/did...

“When you suspect the driver is becoming drowsy, to remove even more of their physical engagement—that seems extremely counterproductive,” a researcher says.

BREAKING NEWS: We just secured a court order blocking the president’s order to deploy federalized National Guard troops to Portland when a federal judge granted our request for a Temporary Restraining Order. Read our statement. #orpol #nationalguard #portland #portlandoregon

Pity the ADL. It went out of its way to defend Elon Musk's definitely-not-a-sieg-heil, and in return gets this.

The lesson of the Trump era is to stick with your principles. He’s coming for you anyway, whether you do or not, so you might as well stick to your principles so people don’t laugh at you afterward and you can look yourself in the mirror.

David Barton, the widely ridiculed and perpetually corrected "amateur historian" who has mainstreamed the idea that church-state separation is a myth, will be advising the Texas State Board of Education on social studies curriculum.

This guy should sue. And this police state action needs to stop. Totally unAmerican.

Federal officer blasts chemical spray into vocal but nonviolent Portland protester, video shows The interaction illustrates how federal law enforcement officers do use aggressive tactics against protesters who yell and needle officers but don’t appear to present clear physical threats.

October 4, 2017. Never forgotten.

🇱🇹 Several planes heading to Vilnius, Lithuania, appear to be changing course or circling over the city. The reasons are still unknown.

The people who’ve been calling you baby murderers your whole life want you to turn down the temperature.

ICE says I cause assaults on ICE by reciting facts about ICE’s recent shooting but refuses to link to the thread. Only posting a picture. ICE lies and ICE hides. You can read the facts for yourselves

In the Seattle market, they have been advertising quite overtly for men who don’t want to be held back by rules and regulations. Basically join us if you want to do the most damage you can cause and be paid well for it plus bonuses.

I was thinking most recently of this one, but there's hardly a shortage. bsky.app/profile/eric...

One thing that comes through awfully clearly in these ICE videos is how many of these goons gravitated toward the job because being able to assault people with impunity is a big thrill for them.

I agree with @stevenbeschloss.bsky.social, our government has become a place where there is no regard for human rights let alone human dignity. The question posed in this article is “What kind of monsters grab children & take them outside without clothes?“ & then respond with “Fuck them kids.”?

Elon Musk & Trump Crypto Czar David Sacks—who co-authored the “Diversity Myth” w/ Peter Thiel—take aim at Wikipedia. Sacks calls Wikipedia “hopelessly biased,” & Musk says that “We are building Grokipedia XAI,” which he says will be a “massive improvement over Wikipedia.” 1/ x.com/elonmusk/sta...

The American people aren’t buying the Trump/GOP lies. Nearly half blame Trump and the GOP for the shutdown. Trump thinks if he causes Democrats enough pain, they will cave. Not realizing the pain he’s causing is on both sides of the aisle. #TrumpsHealthCareShutdown Breaking through the noise.

These are the people getting huge tax cuts — paid for by cuts to health care for millions of Americans. Every lie Trump and Republicans are telling right now is meant to distract you from this.

OPINION: "Instead of stocking chips or soda, this vending machine has drug-testing strips, hygiene kits, socks, soap, wound care supplies & naloxone, a medication also known by its brand name Narcan that is used to reverse opioid overdoses—all completely free," Alice Zhang & Jennifer Murphy write.

Jane Goodall and the institute she founded stressed that the window for conservation is still open. Here's what's at stake for the charismatic apes she championed reut.rs/4qb9YPB

A social media company. An enterprise productivity suite. An ad company. A consumer hardware company. “.. OpenAI wants you to believe it is everything,” so it can “raise the money it needs — at least $1 Trillion over the next four or five years.” @edzitron.com www.wheresyoured.at/sora2-openai/

Trump and Republicans spread lies and scapegoat immigrants to distract you from how they are picking your pockets. Do not be fooled.

Political terror is certainly part of their strategy.

That's their point. #ptsd

Children sometimes walk the length of entire countries to reach a parent waiting in the U.S. They're here to reunite with their family. It's all but impossible to imagine the burden that this operation will place on children who will feel forced to make this terrifying choice.

It's already much harder to be released to a sponsor under this administration and many age-out when they turn 18, often to adult ICE custody. There had long been imperfect but well-meaning bright lines between the shelter network and ICE; sources tell me that line is increasingly blurred.

Shelters that house unaccompanied minors are bracing for "Freaky Friday," the start of an ICE operation that will first issue letters to children, seeking to pressure them to return to the countries they've fled in exchange for a cash payment. If they decline, their parents will be targeted by ICE.

This is the first thing they've done that exists outside the scope of my imagination. It's incomprehensibly evil.

Listen: @giuliaheyward.bsky.social reports on how New York officials are dealing with the Trump administration's attempts to roll back legal protections for LGBTQ people—and the trans community in particular. www.wnyc.org/story/the-tr...

It doesn't remotely change the illegality, but it would highlight the deep rot of suspending the rule of law.

Russia: Billionaire gangster Ibrahim Suleimanov arrested in Moscow for murders in 1999 and 2004. He controlled the national airline ticketing system. He was implicated by Abakar Darbishov, who then quickly died in police custody. After the arrest Suleimanov "fell ill" in jail.

Oracle employees who expressed support for Palestine were "referred to internal mental health resources." Oracle is about to own TikTok.

“AI isn’t magic; it’s a pyramid scheme of human labor,” said @adiod.bsky.social, a researcher at @dairinstitute.bsky.social. “These raters are the middle rung: invisible, essential and expendable.” www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

"Something’s not quite clicking... And yet, despite that, Democrats are still winning the public debate. Imagine how big these polling gaps would be if Mr. Schumer and Mr. Jeffries had a comms strategy that had folks fired up."

And there it is. The entire attack on Netflix is just a grift for far right influencers to promote a religious streaming site.

The number of Minnesotans unemployed for at least six months has nearly doubled since last year.

They spent $1.8M on the website domain & over $1M on “the largest NYC subway ad campaign ever.” Meanwhile, it doesn’t work & isn’t shipping. It’s Theranos, but for a surveillance necklace. Altogether, it feels less like a real ad & more like a PsyOp test that my beloved New Yorkers have passed. ❤️

i mean, it'd be worth the tradeoff

How does @politico.com publish an entire story about images on currency and not even bother to ask about the law?
