It’s -9 degrees. Downtown Minneapolis is packed for the anti-ICE rally and the crowd keeps growing

Demonstrators as far as the eye can see. Current status of the march in Downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota for Ice Out of Minnesota. They are turning onto 3rd Street from 5th Avenue.

it’s so cool that the only use case for ai is to distort everyones perception of reality. this needs to be heavily regulated immediately, especially when a government can do this

AOC: An agency that is attacking U.S. citizens, kidnapping five-year-olds and using them as bait, and privately circulating the idea that they can violate the rights of Americans by busting down their doors—they deserve to be defunded, and I’ll take any step in that direction.

Liam is one of four Columbia Heights, MN school district students who have been taken by ICE in the last two weeks, the school district said. Liam's teacher: “He is so kind and loving, and his classmates miss him. He ... just brightens the room. All I want is for him to be back here and safe.”

Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries have every intention of fully funding this. Cory Booker thinks these guys need better training.

Taibbi, Greenwald and other reactionary grifter weirdos made a name for themselves by dismantling the US lies about the Iraq war, then turned around and used the platform they had obtained to legitimize a warmonger potentially more dangerous than Bush— every one of them is a fraud.

How these technologies are being rolled out with no oversight and no accountability is just absurd.

Interesting how we "become the bad guys" exactly at the point where White people might die as a result of our idiotic militaristic adventurism

They expect - they NEED - the people they threaten to fall in line, like the law firms and universities and media companies and billionaires and Congress did. If you say “No, make me,” they simply do not have a Plan B. TRUMP DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH GUYS TO MAKE YOU.

This is so incredibly irresponsible and damaging. Also just incredibly obnoxious. Why would any one in the community do this 😐

As you already well know by now, it's all lies. Every single thing anyone in this entire administration says is a lie. All of it. Every time.

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic. The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.

Incredible to think of how the US economy will be struggling to recover for decades as a result of tariff policies that Donald Trump never seriously thought through for more than a few minutes.

It’s obvious the admin is using violent force in Minnesota with the hopes of provoking a response so they can invoke martial law. Violence would only make the situation worse.

what did I come here to post again?

Nobel Please Prize

My daughter's school in Richfield, MN (adjacent to Minneapolis) is closing tomorrow due of out-of-control federal agents. Fourth graders spent the week building walls of snow at recess to protect their classmates from ICE. This isn't about immigration enforcement, it's about terror.

It should go without saying, but attacking Greenland should absolutely be grounds for impeachment, and that should be communicated unambiguously by Congressional leadership. The US will gain nothing from attacking Greenland, and it will lose a great deal.

It really says something that in the middle of a trans-Atlantic political firestorm fueled by Q-anon and conspiracy theories about "grooming" trans children that an actual child abuse facsimile machine isn't a story that even holds the media's attention long enough for them to bother figuring it out

Van Hollen: We are here to say not one more dime for Donald Trump's ICE operations

Nikki Glaser calls out CBS News at the Golden Globes while it’s being broadcast on CBS. “And the award for Most Editing goes to CBS News. Yes, CBS News, America’s newest place to see B.S. News.”

This is the only reasonable response to the admin trying to put the squeeze on the Fed

This is a corrupt, politically motivated attack on the Federal Reserve. The strict independence of the Fed has been paramount to the stability of the global economy for over a century, which will collapse if Trump moves to seize control of it.

Grok is not sentient. Grok is made by people. It cannot be quoted as if thinking independently. It must be sourced as if an extension of those who built it. And those who own it must be held accountable for the technology they pushed out.

Yes, it is beyond insanity. Luckily, the American people aren’t buying it.

Make it viral.

Elon Musk chatbot repeatedly making CSAM on demand should be one of the single biggest stories right now and it's effectively a collective shrug instead

New euphemism for "bottomless corruption and naked abuses of power" just dropped

illegal war *process error* detected autopilot failmode engaged run DemocratDoNothing routine? (awaiting user input)__

We cannot let this president drag us into more endless wars that risk the lives of American service members and civilians abroad. The attack last night on Venezuela was unnecessary and unauthorized. The President’s actions are reckless and illegal.

Official government accounts should not be posting on Twitter, for the same reasons that they don’t post on 4chan or kiwifarms.

The same people who came to power on "law & order" have shrugged their shoulders at this. The same people who vilify trans people as "grooming" simply for existing will do nothing. Infuriating to have to say this is wrong to those who smugly insist they care about "protecting women & children"

I thought that was Elise Stefanik’s career exploding until I checked the alt text

ZOHRAN MAMDANI IS MY MAYOR!!!!!!

Noice!! (Also: love the touch of having Letitia James swear him in 😆)

FLASHBACK — per REUTERS Nick Shirley, the guy behind the Minnesota day care *fraud* video, once paid Hispanic day laborers he recruited at Home Depot $20 to hold pro-Biden signs in front of the White House to gin up fears of an “invasion” www.winnmediaskn.com/pro-trump-in...

anyone taught by wurman should ask the university of minnesota law school for a refund

very convenient that the rich ruling class techbros solution to income and wealth inequality will be solved by letting them accumulate even more wealth

Had an AI-inspired dream that some Musk/Thiel-type tech guy had made an animatronic recreation of his dead friend just to keep alive some contest about who’s jokes were funnier and made them more popular

"And I never say no" We need to have a serious talk about the way "AI companion" apps not only prey on the vulnerable, but are priming their users to ignore consent and to conflate love with control. We need AI regulations across so many sectors, but this area is particularly horrifying.

“Miss, do you agree with the sign?” “Absolutely not. My great niece was 4 months pregnant and her fetus had no skull. And because of men involving themselves in women’s bodies she was forced to deliver the fetus… there’s a reason God created medicine.”🔥 #ForcedBirthNation

There's Mother's Day, and Father's Day. I would ask: "When is it Physics Day?" "Everyday is Physics Day," my professor would say.
