"ICE has assaulted and detained U.S. citizens, showing that in the minds of their agents, the actual legal status of the people they accost does not seem to be a primary concern." NEW from @adriancarrasquillo.bsky.social:

Trump’s other targets were at least battle-seasoned veterans. Hutchinson was a young woman who showed enormous bravery. Besides which—the case will fail. trib.al/tCetV22

Well, that is surely a sign that good governance and fufilling their oaths of office is a top priority for this crew of pirates.

The press is overhyping the “bipartisan” revulsion at Vivek Ramaswamy’s attack ad. I hope Amy Acton is ready for what may come next. trib.al/QjOTwaq

🚨 NEW: Mary Peltola reacts to the Trump DOJ's lawsuit targeting Alaska's election results, calling it a “desperate attempt to silence Alaskans.” “This is exactly the kind of corruption that Alaskans are sick and tired of.”

The fact that the president's doctors are giving him the dementia test over and over again -- tracking his decline, most likely -- and that the president keeps bragging about having to take that test should be a five-alarm fire.

Seen this story all day today. Every headline says "27 year old Minnesota man..." I have yet to see one with the headline that the man was Somalian. The most maligned and denigrated group in Minnesota www.goodmorningamerica.com/news/story/2...

Multiple protesters were removed from Donald Trump’s rally at South Carolina’s Clemson University on Wednesday, including one who was apparently punched by a rally attender – to the president’s delight.

The direct result of data center development? Pretty much so, yes.

Experts say Russia is trying to destroy energy infrastructure before winter, showing US ‘appeasement and flattery’ will not achieve peace

NEW: A ProPublica data analysis shows that delays resulting from USPS’ cost-cutting measures have endangered the validity of ballots mailed in rural areas. Counties that voted for Trump in 2024 have been most affected.

Stephen Miller might look the part, but Brendan Carr is actually Trump's most dedicated authoritarian apparatchik. In a fascist regime, he would do anything the boss ordered. x.com/BrendanCarrF...

I FUCKING KNEW IT. His likes went from 80,000 to 8,000 so he pressed a button.

Putin playing him like a cheap violin

Yesterday, in the midst of a day of action involving 3,000+ voter mobilization events, Meta disabled No Kings’ Instagram account. It took 90 minutes—and rising public outcry—for public access to be restored, and four hours for No Kings to be able to post. 1/3. www.newsweek.com/no-kings-pro...

Great discussion with the very thoughtful Rep. Don Beyer, who has made developing thoughtful AI policies a priority. Don't miss.

In this first episode of Your Turn with Allison Aubrey, we explore the science of the flow state with violinist Diane Allen, who lost her flow and then tried to find it again, and also from Dr. Richard Huskey, who studies the flow state and how each of us can find it. n.pr/4sdBrl6

WOW. Kristi Noem and Elon Musk, among others, "chose to turn the power of the federal government against a singular employee with an impeccable record of public service. ... The attacks against Ms. Comans were based entirely on false information" and many officials "knew [they] were untrue."

Trump makes nice with Russia and whips up hatred of Canada and Europe. That's just what Putin wants.

Ossoff: "Mike Collins called for killing immigrants by throwing them to their deaths out of helicopters. I'd like to hear if Mike Collins stands by that statement. Do you still believe in extrajudicial killing of immigrants?" Collins: *does not answer.*

Central casting.

This is your occasional reminder that generative "AI" in particular could have been developed on public domain materials and/or licensed and compensated works but the major players intentionally, methodically and systemically chose to steal labor from working creative folks instead

never the wrong time for this classic

Perhaps instilling morality in tech bros would be a better first step... (rather than trying to strip mine morality from "brand name" sources like it was just more ones and zeroes to Hoover up like all the rest of their bots' "knowledge.")

Donald Trump just made a huge problem for the beef industry. trib.al/aJ4ISd1

Of course Trump flatters AI. It flattered him first.

Violent crime is falling — and the reasons why are likely more complicated than simply increased policing. . bit.ly/4xMoks9

Raddatz: "What do you think the job of the press is? What does the First Amendment mean to you?" Blanche: "What it means to me is not the issue…When it comes to the White House, it's the people's house. It is a privilege and not a right to be there."

Multiple ads I believe

Trying to keep up with BYD’s expansion is almost impossible. Everyday news of new factories they build overseas, new models, new batteries. It’s Alexander the Great conquering the auto world, yet its market cap is 1/12th of Tesla’s ( $120 billion vs $1500B) cmfdi.netzeropolicylab.com/explorer.html
