what's killing me about the cheesecake factory discourse is that Obama didn't even say the cheesecake is bad, he said it looks crazy in there and it does. even if you like the food, it does in fact look fucking crazy in there

Today I learned SNAP benefits cover cold food but hot food is forbidden. So a person using the card can buy an iced coffee (bougie, decadent) but not a hot coffee (salt-of-the-earth, Dale Cooper)

The first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot A mediocre white guy sees his non-white colleague getting praised for good work, he asks AI to *literally copy it*, and then he gets all the praise instead: www.ispot.tv/ad/SoDi/micr...

I also want people to understand that, when a "Department of Homeland Security" was first created, critics warned it was a boondoggle with ghastly historical precedents that could be used in precisely this way; they were derided as terror-loving hysterics bsky.app/profile/robe...

🚨 “Armed and in uniform, federal agents from the Department of Homeland Security have been knocking on doors in several states to ask residents about their immigration status—and to inquire if they have registered to vote or cast votes in past elections” 🚨

Disgusting slander of the Somali-American community. Stephen Miller trying to gin up race hatred. "You've done everything the right way. You've paid every parking ticket you've ever had." How many "real Americans" are behind on their child support payments?

Stephen Miller claims Somali-Americans in Minnesota are "buying Mercedes, buying BMWs, they buy a nice house, all their kids fly first class all over the world" (This is a lie!)

Trump on El-Sayed: "His name is actually Abduladadalalalala. It's Adulbabababababa Mohammed Al-Sayed. So his middle name is Mohammed. So I was right. He's a jihadist."

Back when Wikipedia first showed up you could get away with anything. I once wrote that we traded Wyoming to the Russians for Hawaii and six cases of vodka and that’s how the Cold War started. It was there for three weeks

Authoritarian regime grabs electronic communication devices of prominent opposition member. Since it’s highly unlikely there is anything on her phone about immigration paperwork from 30 years ago we can assume this just became a fishing expedition.

For Trump "consent" is a four-letter word

Q: You said Russia and Ukraine agreed to a ceasefire, but both sides said they have not agreed to that TRUMP: Well they agreed, you know why? Because I said 'you agree.' That's why.

people told me in 2024 "no one will bring back 287g because of arpaio." and well. now they tell me, there won't be a national police force because of federalism. well.

The administration's goal, openly stated, is to consolidate police power in the country and create a huge, well-funded, extremely aggrieved, pro-MAGA, anti-immigrant, anti-protestor police force the likes of which we have never seen in this country.

I do not think an exec branch led by a man who thinks he is entitled to treat federal agents as an arm of his firm, refers to Somali Americans as “garbage” and has said racist things specifically about Omar is capable of neutrally applying the law to her, to put it mildly apnews.com/article/ilha...

apnews.comFederal agents search Rep. Ilhan Omar's home as part of a criminal investigation, AP sources sayFederal agents have searched Democratic U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar’s home as part of a criminal investigation. That's according to people familiar with the matter.

This ICE agent’s entire Instagram feed, “shooter.914,” is guns, watches, energy drinks, and alcohol.

NEW: Footage from Thursdays shooting shows an ICE agent in a construction vest brandishing a rifle. His name is Brenden Cuni. Federal judges have found multiple arrests involving Cuni unlawful. He has been accused of repeatedly Tasing a handcuffed man and tackling a pregnant woman in Minneapolis.

I think Trump et al. want to normalize state violence as gruesome spectacle. Yeah snuff films are all over YouTube (and even before the internet, we had the Faces of Death tapes) but that stuff doesn't have the imprimatur of the US government

I know everyone’s jaded and exhausted by the continual parade of madness, but this is the president of US openly inciting racist violence against an entire community of immigrants. (w/ alt text)
