YUP: “Whether intentionally or ignorantly, ADL is providing cover to people who intend great harm to our nation."

This is incorrect. The law imposes no penalties and sets up no enforcement mechanism.

Part of the Civil Rights Movement was a dignity claim that when you are in public you have a right to be spoken to in a neutral manner. Hamilton v. Alabama. This service worker may hate to serve me Cinnabons, but it is part of her job to serve every customer in the same manner.

all i'm saying is that there were better options

Former Supreme Court clerk weighs in on Trump admin’s continued attempts to crucify someone for embarrassing them by simply existing. (Read the whole thread, not just this “headline.”)

This entire article is positive about Trump Gold Cards. It contains positive quotes about it from Trump, Lutnick and a CEO. It contains no quotes from the many critics of the program. This is sandwiched between 6 posts about Erika Kirk. CBS is lost.

"Secretary Hegseth’s zeal to have the military punish Senator Kelly is a worst-case scenario of this problem." National Institute of Military Justice Statement Against Secretary Hegseth’s Threats to Punish a Senator (disclaimer: I'm a NIMJ Distinguished Fellow) www.justsecurity.org/wp-content/u...

In June of this year, DHS Spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin forcefully proclaimed on social media that Kilmar Abrego Garcia “will never go free on American soil” Today he was released by a federal judge He spent this evening with his family In Maryland

As someone whose field—before being decimated by "we'll just have AI do it"—was focused on figuring out how and where technology could help us do things better and easier, I absolutely concur. It's user-hostile design.

This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him. I don’t know how else to say it…

Forget pointing out that this isn’t a case of “legal experts say” (it’s so ironclad that NO ONE with ANY legal training thinks he can do this). The buried lede here is that a POTUS who thinks he can pardon state crimes should be yeeted by the 25th Amendment.

Less than 48 hours after receiving written notice to decamp, and with no response to multiple written requests for clarification, NPS and Park Service police physically destroyed the tents under the cover of darkness. They took a saw to the tents and structures inside. 💥CONTINUES IN THREAD💥

We all should take the time to comment on this oppressive new data-vacuuming policy proposed by DHS/CBP, here's the information on how to do it: And if you think it's no big deal because it applies only to foreigners, I urge you to read Niemoller's Elegy... www.federalregister.gov/documents/20...

In case you ever needed proof that the Heritage Foundation is not a conservative organization, here we have them cheering on the Federal Government threatening to strip all funding from a state that does not make political decisions the President likes. Any true conservative would be howling.

Thread. With receipts.

WOW. So this is obviously a huge violation of this man's rights, and it illustrates a few things we're seeing broadly: - DHS officers are ignoring peoples' IDs and instead requiring screening through their own systems - Confirms @404media.co's reports of use of DHS's facial recognition app.

Increasingly clear the only real use case for LLMs is to convince suckers to buy crypto, for which there is no honest use case at all.

MAGAZINER: How many veterans have you deported? NOEM: We haven't deported veterans MAGAZINER: We are now joined on Zoom by a combat veteran you deported to Korea

just going to reiterate this. if immigrants don't have due process, no one does. you can't tell citizens from immigrants without due process. www.everythingishorrible.net/p/if-immigra...

Stealworkers

Of course they fucking did.

I’ll never forget hearing Donald Trump’s racist “shithole countries” comment in a 2018 Oval Office meeting about immigration. Tom Cotton and David Perdue claimed Trump didn’t say it and accused me of lying. The truth comes out.

It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.

🧵:

I mean this: if your DAs and AGs aren’t talking about prosecuting this, get some who will if you possibly can. Either by shaming or voting.

It's Day 9 of the ICE occupation in MSP. Reminder that we are in this for the long haul. Take a deep breath and take care of yourself, your family, and community. If you have not yet gotten ICE training, there's another chance on Zoom tonight led by our friends in Chicago. (Link in thread)

Remind me: Did Brett Kavanaugh include having your wedding band cut in pieces among the minor inconveniences of being arrested by ICE as a US citizen?

The first paragraph of Judge Breyer‘s opinion granting an injunction in the California National Guard case is a banger.

Q: “You said you would have no problem with releasing the full video of that strike on September 2nd.” Trump: “I didn’t say that. You said that. I didn’t say that. This is ABC fake news.” Trump on Dec. 3: “Whatever they have, we’d certainly release. No problem.”

That is patently false: not only do immigrants score better than native-born Americans in tests, the mere presence of immigrants improve test scores for all students, when factoring in white flight sesp.northwestern.edu/news-events/...

“Why are folks getting dumber?” Because they don’t read. “Why aren’t men as romantic & poetic as they used to be?” Because they don’t read. “Why are people so vulnerable to propaganda?” “Why is everyone a conspiracy theorist?” Because they don’t read. Because they don’t read.

Duh.

Hey folks 👋 I'm the reporter who revealed immigration agents detained 170+ citizens this year My fellowship w/ProPublica has been incredible, but it wraps January. I'm looking for my next gig. Please reach out to share leads & opportunities! [email protected] www.propublica.org/people/nicol...

Trump's farmer bailout will primarily go to massive row-crop farmers. Big Ag as they say. Smaller and diversified farms are getting something else - it rhymes with shackjit.

Trump says Lisa Cook is unfit to be a Fed governor because she claimed two different properties as her primary residence on her mortgage applications. (Cook denies this.) Trump did the exact same thing on mortgage applications submitted a mere 7 weeks apart. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

A study on 1.7 million people in Hong Kong shows superior hybrid immunity to Covid in people who got vaccinated before infection vs. people who got infected first. "Our findings are a direct rebuttal to arguments for natural immunity," the authors write. doi.org/10.1016/j.va...

Good on Penn Jillette. Having to come to terms with your entire political identity and philosophy being wrong is not easy and most people could never do it.

There's a lot of whataboutism regarding Obama's drone strikes (lots to object to there!) from people wholly unaware Trump massively expanded the drone war and killed, give or take, an order of magnitude more people with it, because this was treated as a non-story with hardly any mainstream coverage.

Hegseth warned Trump could issue illegal commands and might not have the military's back when he does so. “What happens when people follow those orders, or don’t follow them? It’s not clear that Donald Trump will have their back." www.cnn.com/2025/12/08/p...

Reject any and every lie of this regime that they are fighting the drug trade. Their boss pardons a drug kingpin who helped bring 400 tons of cocaine into the U.S.

Facts are a bitch when you're a liar.

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque: "This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

Russia wants the EU to collapse because it’s a military rival. It needs a pretext for getting rid of the EU that isn’t territorial expansion, though. So it advances the idea that the EU isn’t democratic (as if Russia was). The richest man in the world falls for it hook, line, and sinker.

There were places in Anitolia 3,100 years ago with advanced civilization - trade, government, literature, industry - that, within a single generation, regressed into isolated subsistence agriculture and stayed that way for 500 years.

Based on the facts recounted by the Senator, the two do sound “shipwrecked” for LOAC purposes. But they were never lawful targets in the first place even if LOAC applied. And LOAC doesn’t apply because there is no armed conflict. Term for premeditated killing outside of armed conflict is murder.

I live in Wales and today received my Join Us letter from Reform UK, complete with SAE which I posted back to them, immediately, empty. If every other person in Wales did this, Reform would spend over £1.5 million on postage. Not sorry. Join me Cymru.
