One more reason the Utah data center project must be stopped

Such a good, basic idea

The "reactionary colorblindess" of the right-wing justices has reached its logical conclusion in finding that it is racist NOT to let Louisiana—and any other state for that matter—discriminate on the basis of race in voting. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

A DAY!!!!!!!

I have deep feelings about food I know I'm *supposed* to like, but don't. Oysters are near the top of the list. Lobster is okay but I don't swoon for it. What's a food everybody loves but you?

While he was detained at Dilley for over four months, 13-year-old Gustavo Santiago said he felt as if he would “never get out.” “I just ask that you don’t forget about us,” he told ProPublica in a video call. (Published Feb.)

"Hey, I noticed your camera's off today, we normally have a policy of being on camera for work zoom meetings, would you mind turning it on?"

Bloody hell. Researchers invented a disease, published two fake papers to see if LLM’s would ingest them and kick them up as fact — and then it broke containment and all the major AI’s bought in. Information pollution. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

I genuinely think the president and many of his advisers, scammers, hustlers, and keyboard gangsters, don’t understand this concept at all and you can see it in the pattern of their mistakes from Minneapolis to Tehran www.nytimes.com/2026/03/29/o...

Since the headline is a bit confusing, the NYT is reporting that on the same day we hit the girl's school in Minab, we also sent a missile full of tungsten steel pellets at a girl's volleyball tournament hundreds of miles away in Lamerd. Twenty one dead. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/29/w...

"Countries heavily reliant on US aid see a 10.5% increase in maternal mortality following a switch from a Democratic to a Republican administration—about 44.7 additional deaths per 100 000 live births." gh.bmj.com/content/11/3...

If a secdef violating the 14th amendment rights of US servicemembers by denying promotions based on race isn’t impeachable then I don’t see what is. The man would rather the military be racist than effective.

Even more treacherous than the Strait of Hormuz is the Strait of Hormel, if the terrorists strike there will be a pepperoni crisis the likes of which you cannot imagine

@alfie.photography hi Alfie, my son and I are coming to Tokyo the beginning of April. We'd love to go walking with you and learn some photography, if you're free.

The Washington Post—for which I wrote editorials for nearly a decade—has closed its Kyiv bureau. @lawfaremedia.org has not—and we will not. We now employ more people in Kyiv than the Washington Post. Let me tell you about what we have done in Ukraine over the past year and why we are not leaving

ProPublica has identified Alex Pretti’s killers www.propublica.org/article/alex...

Justice Frank Murphy's vehement dissent, condemning the Court for upholding FDR's Exec Order 9066 in resembling "the abhorrent and despicable treatment of minority groups by the dictatorial tyrannies which this nation is now pledged to destroy" – is worth revisiting. 3/ #Korematsu Day

"The members..were Steven E. Koonin; John Christy; Judith Curry; Roy Spencer, a meteorologist; and Ross McKitrick, an economics professor. All of them have questioned the scientific consensus that climate change poses severe risks to the planet and to human health". www.nytimes.com/2026/01/30/c...

For decades the Right has daydreamed about saving their country from monsters, they finally got the chance and it turns out they love the monsters. The monsters are even monstrous in the exact ways they fantasized about! You never have to listen to these guys about anything again

me, emotionally writing an essay on the use of force by federal agents: ok but what if i packaged this in the most insane way possible www.theverge.com/policy/86857...

Protected speech made my agents murder these people, says federal official

started getting instagram ads for mira's toddler-sized gas masks while putting together this article. also, at the same time, saw videos of that preschool getting tear gassed. no we will not be adding a section on the best gas mask for toddlers www.theverge.com/policy/86857...

Even under SCOTUS's dubious reasoning in Trump v. U.S., there is no scenario in which maneuvering billions of dollars to an offshore account to keep it out of reach from Congress and courts is an "official act." This is all criminal and impeachable.

Scrolling through the photos of Pam Bondi's "Minnesota rioters," it's just hero after hero. Every photo includes a cowardly DHS agent with their back to the camera. Bondi thinks she's going to win the propaganda war with this shit, but it's never been more clear that they're losing.

We also made a Sinister Minnesotans hoodie and onesie. All proceeds go to aid organizations in Minnesota refusing to back down from the ICE agents polluting their great state. Fuck ICE, and thank you to @raygunsite.com and @wardsutton.bsky.social for the hustle. store.theonion.com/collections/...

Tomorrow’s front page of the Minnesota Star Tribune: Jan. 23, 2026

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.

ICE ended up returning the man, Saly, after realizing he’s a fucking US citizen with no criminal record, per his sister-in-law. These fucking animals.

How it started/how it's going

I no longer recognize this country.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

next reporter who interviews stephen miller should ask him point blank if his goal in minneapolis is to kill more americans

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.

Here’s his closing: “My advice to ICE agents is to get out while you can, because history says the most likely outcome is for you to be hanging by a lamppost and then your body paraded through the streets.” THE DOGS WERE GOOD AGAIN THIS WEEK. www.instagram.com/reel/DTiy3rk...

In May, I told Rubio that locking up students for exercising their free speech rights was outrageous & unlawful. He scoffed. Now, a judge has said he & others engaged in an “unconstitutional conspiracy” to take away those rights. We must defend our freedoms at every turn.
