A weather balloon launched by private company that uses a bag of sand as a ballast, shattered the cockpit window of an airplane at 36,000 feet last night. Yikes!

shocked to learn that the president lied about this and also this is a horrible defacing of a building that belongs to the people of the United States, not donald trump

Reading is hard

Someone call Inspector Koichi Zenigata!!!!

This is one of my favorite pictures from yesterday, Governor Pritzker with the protesters... #NoKings

WTF is he talking about? Is he assuming that because Marc Benioff, who lives in Hawaii, said something stupid it means SF will welcome an invasion? I think yesterday's protests in SF shows that no one wants (or needs) the National Guard in SF.

How NSPM-7 Seeks to Use "Domestic Terrorism" to Target Nonprofits and Activists www.aclu.org/news/nationa...

MSNBC contributor downplays NSPM-7, saying: "The government still has to, at least by law, comply with the existing law, right?"

No Kings protester with an NSPM-7 sign (!)

have long suspected that trump thinks the insurrection act is an instant "i win" cheat code that make his opposition go away

Well I was not expecting BILL NIGHY to be spitting facts today! observer.co.uk/culture/inte...

France should register high profile jewel heists as a unique cultural practice and run competitions for them like the Olympics

as far as just messaging goes that video is probably the most embarrassing thing any president has done on the world stage in my life and the fact that the sunday shows wont even describe it? total abdication of their responsibility

Sex House is real life.

This story is wild. balleralert.com/profiles/blo...

As said before basically unemployable weirdos are disappearing people who work the jobs that make basic society function

Amazon’s Ring is partnering with Flock • A network of AI-powered cameras used by ICE, federal agencies, and police • Authorities can request users to share footage to assist with 'evidence collection and investigative work' (via Techcrunch | 404 Media co)

people who think the key to building a brand new separate society is choosing a good font

“All my friends murdered and raped, sometimes they hung out at my house. Get over yourself.”

I still can’t figure out why people don’t just call it what it is. It’s not “strikes”. It’s not “military intervention”. It’s not “a campaign”. It’s murder.

Wait so we’re also in an armed conflict against a completely different group? Sure yeah why not

the crowd sizes are obviously the highlight here but the fact that *this* is the public statement of the NYPD does not bode well for the regime. or, put another way: I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win

if you're going to a protest today I wish you luck. The only specific thing I will beg of you is this: don't use milk to wash out tear gas or mace. if you see a street medic with milk, yell at them until they throw it out. do not continue to spread lies about emergency medicine.

A successful protest movement requires as broad a coalition as possible. If you’re recoiling from the support of mainstream privileged segments of society, you’re not trying to win the fight, you’re just trying to win personal praise.

No Kings protest kicking off in Washington, D.C. Here’s the view down Pennsylvania Avenue from near the front. Street is totally packed for blocks.

So hit back. Promote the fact that the GOP is so desperate they have to use fake AI-generated quotes. Call it out and make them own it.

This morning, I was hit in the face by a baton. I’m going to have a pretty gnarly bruise but we need to remember why this is happening: Trump and ICE are rounding up our neighbors, treating them as subhuman, and shipping them off to labor camps in foreign countries. It has to end.

If I had explain American history in one sentence, I could do worse than "John Brown was hung for treason, but Robert E. Lee was not."

Andrew Cuomo has the greatest mind in contemporary politics

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵) www.consumerreports.org/lead/protein...

Tish James lit up the room last night — and her words echoed far beyond the walls of The United Palace. This is a fight for the future.

Was waiting to see how Olivia Reingold (who Oliver's piece destroyed almost as much as Bari Weiss) would respond, and you can see the tweet below which also shows she either did not watch his piece, or just didn't understand it, since he actually addresses this point directly.

oh this guy is delusional delusional

It’s a "crisis" when immigrants "take jobs away", but "innovation" when machines do. Funny.

She's Canadian, you wouldn't know her.

I mean at this point I am counting days until ICE shoots someone in broad daylight and we get all of the stories and things from people who will claim this is unprecedented and it be on teh anniversary of a racialized mass shooting that "doesn't count" because white journalists aren't centered

no they're LITERALLY exaggerating this issue. there is absolutely no data backing up their claims. ffs just say that!!

from this extremely distressing story:

Never, ever Newsom. Fuck that guy.

I've seen a few people question why these sorts of comments haven't hurt Miller, Trump, etc. the way "basket of deplorables" hurt Clinton. And I think it's just because we expect them to say and do mean shit.

We really hit on something with the 12 year old theory of governance because that’s really the entire political project. It’s being 12 years old and not even normal 12 year olds but real pieces of shit 12 year olds

No shit I'm furious. I spent eleven years learning to write well about complex topics in ethical ways, often for criminally low rates, because I believe that work's important. It's deeply insulting to see a total dipshit get fabulously wealthy for telling the rich what they want to hear!

Pam Bondi admits she spoke to Apple to "get the ICEBlock app taken down." Sounds an awful lot like coercion to suppress disfavored speech to me. A clear violation of the 1st Amendment.

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here. Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race southsideweekly.com/federal-agen...

Weird thing where people say “no one could have predicted it” when really what they mean is their political commitments and orientation were such that they ignored everyone who was predicting it Sorry but “no one could have“ and you having your head stuck up your ass are two different situations

Leavitt: “You guys are framing this like the president wants to do the exact thing he says he wants to do.”

Americans literally fought a revolution to get rid of soldiers "guarding them" in their streets.

Not just "no evidence," but the fire chief has affirmatively said there's no evidence of an intentional fire -- to which some friends have responded, "yeah, but why should we believe *that*?" At some point, we can't just assume the conspiracy and treat the absence of evidence as further proof.

seeing otherwise smart people share the story that a south carolina judge’s beach house was burned to the ground because of a ruling against trump despite there being no evidence of that has been frustrating. just because the other side has abandoned facts doesn’t mean we can, too.
