Open data over everything.

For every horrific act of fascist abuse you’ve seen video of in recent months, there are hundreds that you’ll never even hear about.

The good news is that due the obvious heinous abuses by ICE, I bet we get rid of qualified immunity for cops when we rebuild the country after this shitshow is over.

Jesus. You think it can’t get any worse, then you read these stories. US citizens and legal residents illegally arrested and held for days. **Native Americans** getting detained and held for days because ICE agents are too stupid/racist to know about tribal IDs.

I tried it and I liked it!

Who could ever have imagined when I played a fictional rebel who joined the Resistance to oppose a criminal Authoritarian & wannabe King, it would be happening in real-life? #TwentyfiveFortyseven

We are in a dark, dark place, and I genuinely don't know where the light is going to come from.

I choose to believe these are related posts.

I haven’t felt that “wow this site’s runners really cannot stand a significant part of their user base” feeling since I posted on Fametracker in 2004.

Reposted with alt text. Also, from a cursory look, this appears to basically be true, which is pretty funny. Philosophers... debate.

Richard Petty and Dale Earnhardt in a pre-race drivers' meeting, 1980's

I’m the same age as him. I guess it sucks to suck.

yet another example of how you should ALWAYS have people in your corner who will tell you to stfu

"Only the portrait of a deceased individual may appear on United States currency and securities." 31 USC 5114(b)

Is everyone appreciating how utterly sick this is

Fuck apps - build websites.

Kristi Noem up on the Broadview roof this morning while @govpritzker.illinois.gov's state police are down on the ground arresting protestors.

I still don't talk to someone who liked a tweet that was making fun of something I wrote ten years ago.

The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 is a United States federal law that was passed by the 89th Congress and signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson on October 3, 1965.

So before I got into tech I concentrated on legal history, specifically mid-19th century race laws. (I'm far from expert. And stopped because I was literally having nightmares from it) Anyway, I also used to think was not super relevant but man, it's getting real Fugitive Slave Act up in this bitch.

Gonna need every white person born in Ohio to start posting about how they snuck across the border without papers

NOT THE CRONK

Federal agents reporting to Secretary Noem have spent weeks snatching up families, scaring law-abiding residents, violating due process rights, and even detaining U.S. citizens. They fail to focus on violent criminals and instead create panic in our communities.

I mean, if this is what CBS is doing with headline now, can Bari Weiss fuck it up that much more? (she can)

Pickle pizza. Haters to the left.

It is utterly unsurprising that Bari Weiss is platforming a creepy pedo Econ Professor from George Mason University, which has been overrun by racist meat sacks masquerading as intellectuals since at least the mid 80s.

For a long time we’ve thought that firms should be supporting FLP more, but we didn’t know how. We’re hoping this provides a nice way to bring them in the tent. If you are at a firm, we’d love to chat about how you can join.

everyone talks about Dave living in rural Ohio like he's some salt of the earth but he lives in Yellow Springs which is like...super left wing. So I find all of this very odd.

my sister has procured some Skyline Spice Graeters Ice Cream. This is happening. www.graeters.com/products/sky...

LOCKSS! Lots of Copies Keeps Stuff Safe!

So i guess oversight dot gov got taken down. Happily, these folks had downloaded all the reports and are now making them available programintegrity.org/search/

The conversation between Klein and Coates showed me that a lot of people who screech about “infighting” on the left aren’t aware of the fact that marginalized people have been forced to learn how to regulate their emotions during conflict, and so, are better able to hear what’s actually being said.

Some statistics about the 16 blue states Russ Vought wants to target: - 39% of the country lives in those states. - They contribute 44% of GDP. - They are also home to almost a third of 2024 Trump voters, some 24 million of them. www.pbump.net/o/sorry-abou...

Remembering how the media reported that the Trump campaign not only denied intent to follow Project 2025, but insisted that anyone associated would be barred from the administration. @politico.com had a big piece about it.

Oooh...what are you gonna do...remove air pollution protections, destroy the research capabilities of the EPA, and turn it into a polluter permit rubber stamp facility? TOO LATE, YOU DID THAT IN JUNE ASSHOLES. Take away free tax filing and remove auditors for rich tax cheats? DITTO.

one hand you can't help what your parents named you, but on the other I will be GODDAMNNED if i am lectured about anything by some dude named MarkWayne

This is illegal, and yes this is the same guy who claimed he'd never heard of Project 2025. But there's a larger point to make here about public service. No one who wins elected office wins 100% of the vote. But everyone who holds public office represents 100% of their electorate.

Listen, the sooner you get on board with accepting that we're going to have to do a full tear down and rebuild of the federal government, the easier it is to deal with the daily shit show. There's no going back to the way things were. That life is gone. Start thinking of how the next part will look.

See, this would be much more scary of a threat if Trump/Musk hadn't already gutted the capabilities of agencies like EPA, Dept of Ed, Dept. of Labor, etc over the summer. Let him own it even more. alt text in next skeet

Ever go so TradCath that you start to think Martin Luther had a point? Horseshoe theory…not just for dirt bag leftists.

Note the total disregard for Congress here--appropriated funds are for Vought to "give" or withhold as he sees fit. The Democrats need to make Vought famous.

Pretty excited for them to find out about Transubstantiation, ngl.

President Pritzker is going to get record ratings when he takes a wrecking ball to that ballroom on prime time TV.

too crazy for boys town, too much of a boy for crazy town

Harvest is going on now. Four weeks from now will be probably over. Farmers have to choose to either take to market at lower rate or store and hope market goes up (and go without money until then and also assumes have storage facilities.)

Someone should come up with counters - like the national debt one - to add up various violations, like these most recent Hatch Act ones then just have links. www.npr.org/2025/09/30/n...

it's not a huge problem in the grand scheme of things, but i do not care for the use of "vibe" in "vibe coding" and now "vibe working". Find a new word.
