I do think that if you have never had the experience of watching professionals perform shakespeare you may not understand how *resonant* it remains. it’s not stuffy at all. it can feel essential

centuries pass and still it sings. what a gift it is, how time flattens under the weight of a practiced voice. how irreplaceable

Martinez ends her testimony with this: "If there's not justice for the people, let there be no peace for the government."

Martinez: "[I] sat in federal court and watched from 20 feet away as the border patrol agent who attempted to kill me testified at a hearing. Agent Charles Exum—Charles Exum, my attempted executioner was Charles Exum—I hope the government does not consider my use of his name here to be...doxxing."

Call your reps and say how unacceptable this is - these are all things DHS is *already supposed to be doing* Call your reps, tell them it’s defund abolish and prosecute and nothing less.

74% of Democrats support abolishing ICE, with 53% *strongly* supporting it, according to YouGov polling from last month. Weak calls for "reform" are coming from *elected* Democrats like Chuck, not the average Democratic voter.

“It was awesome. I was able to do the raid without leaving my home and ship my family off to an immigrant detention center all before 9 a.m.” said Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent Mark Hammond

Fucking surreal that people dressed like this and carrying assault rifles are permitted to kidnap people off our streets

[upbeat zohran voice] I'm here at the Palace of Justice in Nuremberg, Germany, where 80 years ago some important progressive work started [smash cut] but hasn't ended. So here's what we're doing:

LLMs are low information coders.

Honestly the biggest news out of this Texas special election is that Wambsganss is a real name. I'm reconsidering my priors.

All I am saying is if I had inflicted a plague of bigoted grifters onto my country and had gotten filthy rich doing it, I would be at a fucking minimum out there calling them out and helping take them down.

You walk into this bar and show your ICE mugshot, you don't pay a dime.

TLDR: The concepts of building agents are much simpler than most engineers still believe. I’m making a TypeScript library for *agent scripting*, ie for taking the next step beyond chat agents to creating your own. Controlling and orchestrating agents doesn’t have to be any harder than functions.

Even if Bovino gets fired, ICE has to go. Even if Noem is out, ICE has to go. Even when Trump leaves office, ICE has to go. As protests grow and ICE's popularity drops, we may see concessions and leadership changes, like Bovino's departure. ICE still has to go. www.cnn.com/us/live-news...

if bovino is out and conservatives are turning on noem then there is a real opportunity to demand that miller resign too.

Exactly right. Bovino's leaving? Great, get Noem to resign. Noem resigns? Great, defund and dismantle ICE. Go after Stephen Miller too. Bring charges against ICE thugs at the state and local level. Lawsuits. New state laws restricting them. Every possible angle.

I refuse to die until I get to see Stephen Miller humiliated as publicly and devastatingly as possible. It is the most important thing in the world to me.

literally yes

Kids are protesting and begging for freedom in Dilley, TX at an ICE detention center. Kids. Liam Ramos was sent here. These are children screaming for freedom.

Really hard to look at this and all the other examples of bravery and kindness from ordinary people in this moment not think also of the tremendous cowardice exhibited over the past year by some of the richest, most well-protected people in business, media and politics

"Ya fuckin dumbies" I love these kids

I love this so much. I love this place. I love us. And they will never break us. Never.

I keep seeing leftists from outside of Minneapolis say they’ve seen all this before, and no, you haven’t. I’ve been at this for 30+ years and I haven’t either. It’s not what you’re picturing. This is something else

I know people keep saying this but it’s hard to communicate the depth of active resistance here. Like, I’m on random cafes and people are checking in for observation shifts. Signs everywhere. Folks in visibility vests on the corners. It’s wild. Absolutely wild.

Agreed. It’s everyone, and everywhere. It’s outer ring suburbs organizing their own rapid response teams. It’s young and old, and across political spectrum. They’re attacking our way of life, and so everyone is fighting back.

They’re giving He-Man pronouns????

we are going to be the WORST

Voila!

They hate us so much but we love each other more

Reminder: Haidt is not actually an "expert" in this field and actual experts have called out that he's just wrong about almost everything. www.techdirt.com/2025/09/10/e...

We need to pick up this Overton Window and throw it as far as we can. Stop waiting for shit to “be popular” and start advocating for what is transparently right.

I continue to be amazed at the size of the teams CNN has devoted to this work and how little truly original content is produced. I would kill for a fraction of the resources. I also wouldn't parrot the framing of what was clearly a government effort to falsely paint a dead person as a terrorist.

Every obsessive critic of "wokeness" embodies the actual qualities that they attribute to "wokeness." In this case, the mentality that any obstacle you encounter is discrimination bsky.app/profile/park...

Anything less than abolishing ICE is unacceptable. I don't want to hear people talk about training these motherfuckers or throwing more money at them. The entire institution needs to be permanently disbanded. Do not let politicians sell you on anything less.

Goodbye to my 2002 PowerMac G4, a relic of an era where computers felt to me like cozy little self-contained but internally boundless playgrounds. 🪦

I sincerely hope there's a hell.

I rarely pay extra for extended warranties or support but shelled out for AppleCare+ for my kid’s iPad. My disappointment with the service is growing to desperation as they’ve had the device since November and we still have no ETA on a resolution and no proactive communication from Apple.

legitimately love this guy.

i really think there is legit political space for running on "we are going to dismantle ICE"

We are parents of a trans kid and our family takes this very, very personally. If you intentionally make life harder for our beloved daughter, it’s EXTREMELY hard to think of you as an ally, to say the least. @amyklobuchar.com - you still send us requests for money, while hurting our kid. Disgusted.
