They wanted max cruelty. Shock and awe for the cameras. But all they did was traumatize a bunch of poor kids who’ll never forget it. An L.A. mom, US citizen, watched as unmarked vehicles rolled up. Masked, heavily armed ICE agents, guns drawn. And Cosplay Kristi Noem right there playing warlord!

Take a minute. This is beautiful.

I ran an experiment, simultaneously posting articles on Bluesky and X, and then testing to see how many people actually clicked and read them. The numbers on Bluesky are higher, both because the X algorithm downranks journalism, and because Bluesky attracts readers, not just shitposters.

Maybe I'm late to this, but in light of the Qatar jet "gift" idea, has anyone analyzed the implications of Donald Trump's private possession of a military, POTUS-security-standard plane after 2028?

Good morning ✌️

Not only dumb but dangerous AF. This is North Korea level shit.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court rules 7-2 to further enjoin the government from summarily deporting alleged gang members under the Alien Enemies Act. The government didn’t give enough notice and the 5th Circuit erred in refusing to provide relief, the justices concluded.

This resonates with me because I'm a "discovery" nerd--I love digging, finding out more, yelling "check this out!" and flooding my friends' inboxes with what I think is a cool discovery about science or history at 3am. I was that way in school. My long way round to dopamine. 😅

Forbes: The Qataris have been trying to get rid of that ostentatious luxury jet for five years, but no one would buy it. It costs too much to fly, costs more to maintain, and needs too big a landing strip. They had another one they unloaded on Turkey. Delicious. www.forbes.com/sites/jeremy...

Whether it's Donald Trump permitting white refugees but banning minorities, or Kamala Harris being born to a Black father and an Indian mother, both sides have forced the divisive topic of race upon the American public.

Whether it’s Hillary Clinton sharing a risotto recipe over email on a private server or Donald Trump choosing to fly in a plane packed with the electronics of a foreign country, both leaders have tested the boundaries of acceptable security practices.
