Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents. They’ve had their necks kneeled on. They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear. At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.

Emerging from the darkness of this era will require us to acknowledge that the previous status quo, including many institutions that may have served us well in another era, have been failing for my entire lifetime.

the thing that controls all culture and politics should maybe have some rules around it. we’re spitballing folks.

DAAAAA

Can NBC just stop with that annoying banner god damn

Disney has backed down, but there's no evidence that Sinclair or Nexstar have learned their lesson. If you haven't already done so, check the links in the thread below for stations in your area. Find the advertisers and let them know you're boycotting them until they remove ads from these stations.

SCOOP — Part of the reason Disney/ABC may have rushed to sort things out with Kimmel is because tomorrow they have a planned price increase for Disney+ streaming, a Disney source tells me. With subscriptions hemorrhaging since last week, they couldn’t risk losing more users with this announcement.

There's a word for what Trump and his allies are trying to do with this gerrymandering plan...

Bottom 10 field goals I’ve ever seen in my life right there tbh

Somehow, Dems will find a way to fumble this messaging.

There’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for people to build on the rubble of what’s being destroyed before our eyes. Private corporations bending over to forcefeed everyone government-approved speech is evil and amoral, but more than anything this creates boring, inauthentic, unwatchable shit.

From April: The FCC has been converted from a media and telecom watchdog into a bizarre, rights-trampling grievance machine built for one purpose: to coddle and protect the ego of President Donald J. Trump. Read more from @karlbode.com: www.theverge.com/tech/656653/...

Why is baker throwing at like 200mph rn

CBS broadcast of the patriots game is unwatchable right now. Audio is cutting out and the picture lags severely.

Does the North Texas media guide include their own Scorigami table? You’re damn right it does.

Game of the year at week 1

They straight up almost didn’t show the actual kickoff lmao

My message to Donald Trump is very simple.

TCU is trying to match the age difference at this point

Night 1 of Week 1 and I am reminded of a great part of college football-watching, which is seeing a gross scoreline in a game I’m not watching and having the Superintendent Chalmers Steamed Hams reaction

Welcome to hell Cowboys

“We are watching. And we are taking names.” Pritzker never disappoints.

YouTube is secretly using AI to edit people's videos • Skin is being smoothed or sharpened • Features like ears are being altered • YouTube confirmed there's an 'experiment' on Shorts to 'unblur' and 'improve' clarity • There's currently no way to opt out (via BBC)

A 4-year-old boy’s ongoing care for stage 4 kidney cancer was interrupted when U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers illegally deported him, his sister and mother “without even a semblance of due process.”

Yet we’re firing thousands of government employees because of waste, fraud, and abuse.

A HOF DOINK YESSSSS

"Despite Trump officially activating FEMA on Sunday, FEMA has just 86 total staff deployed at this point [to Texas], according to figures shared with staff Monday evening...In the past it would normally be in the several hundreds at this point in the disaster recovery process." My latest:

NEW: NYT Executive Editor Joe Kahn spoke about the Mamdani article at his daily meeting with top editors this morning, praising both the story and the reporting process, a Times source tells me. He also praised Assistant Managing Editor Pat Healy’s explanation of the situation that he posted on X.

If dems don’t win at least 55 senate seats and 250 house seats in the midterms then they are truly lost.

Worth a watch: Head of Signal, Meredith Whittaker, on so-called "agentic AI" and the difference between how it's described in the marketing and what access and control it would actually require to work as advertised.

The left better start figuring out how to weaponize today's decision rather than just (rightfully) criticizing it. - Go back into Judge Kaczmaryk's court to dissolve all of his nationwide orders. - Pass gun bans and insist any order applies only to plaintiffs.

EXCLUSIVE — The Onion has a full-page ad in today’s NYT featuring part of an editorial calling out congressional fecklessness towards Trump. They also sent a copy of their latest issue to every lawmaker. My report, with an excerpt from the full editorial: www.thehandbasket.co/p/exclusive-...

NEW: Farmers are dying by suicide at the third-highest rate by vocation in Utah. But after a federal program offering mental health support ran out of money, the state did not continue it. By @jessicamiller.bsky.social, with @sltrib.com

Please highlight this story. ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago. kfor.com/news/local/w...

NEW @npr.org EXCLUSIVE: A whistleblower tells Congress and NPR that DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data from the NLRB and hid its tracks. It's possible that the data included sensitive info on unions, ongoing legal cases and corporate secrets. A must-read from @jennamclaughlin.bsky.social:

We need new leaders in Washington. I’m running for Senate to be one. Let’s go.

Splash: The Patriots are taking the biggest defender off the market, as Eagles DT Milton Williams lands in New England, per me and Mike Garafolo. Williams gets a $26M per year.

ESPN Bet is reportedly a huge disappointment for the company, which is good because it's high time that ESPN get out of the gambling racket and go back to their roots: opening a series of sports-related bar-and-grills throughout the country.
