Nuke ICE 8647

BASH: The worry is that we end up in a situation where President Trump tries to overturn the election and the result of that could be like what we saw after January 6-- BLANCHE: Stop it! You gotta stop it with that! That's crazy BASH: This is a president who has a history

I'd like to report a murder

Meanwhile in reality: bsky.app/profile/domi...

BRENNAN: The DOJ lawsuit demands the Alaska result not be certified if voters are confused. The confusion is defined as Sen. Sullivan not winning. BLANCHE: That's not what it says BRENNAN: I'm quoting from it. You are telling them not to certify it. What right does the federal govt have?

In his talk at Princeton, @marcelias.bsky.social noted that the election suppression he worried about was less ICE at the polls and more ICE putting up traffic checkpoints and other things that made access to the polls much harder. And it looks like we’re seeing a version of that in Brazil.

Kansas Dem Sen. nominee Adam Hamilton on trans rights: “I don’t think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myself”

Breathtaking depth and breadth of scam economy’s race to the bottom www.dukechronicle.com/article/duke...

Hello Police. Can you arrest this person for threatening a trans woman please. Remember when you arrested a trans woman for posting about a dead person. Well this person is alive.

This feels right

festering piece of shit.

Musk's justified DOGE with Deep State conspiracy theories. But bureaucrats are more directly accountable than contractors are, especially when those contractors own monopolies and are politically powerful. It's impossible to imagine a DOD official doing what Musk did and keeping his job.

And so it begins

Once mass spam texts were made legal, younger donors vanished, leaving a grassroots fundraising machine that subsists on squeezing vulnerable seniors, some of whom give hundreds of times a day. It’s a horrific model. Consultants get generationally wealthy, and the party hollows out its future.

There goes 6250 tonnes of CO₂ removal every year…

Lowest approval since Truman is pretty fucking impressive. I think we can do better, though.

Again: Why does Musk have operational control over any *military grade* version of anything. That’s not how DOD contracts work.

Also hat tip to Jess Lawrence and a few others on Threads who saw the ad and posted about it www.threads.com/@jess_lawren...

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...

bring back shame people shouldn’t think it’s acceptable to go on camera and be this openly racist

It's bleak that Serious News Outlets will tie themselves into knots writing headlines that obscure the horrors of a story while @people.com just waltzes in and calls it like it is.

holy crap

Airbnb went from a cheap way to crash in a spare bedroom or rent a vacation house for a weekend and turned into "what if hotels openly hated you and acted like they were doing you a favor by letting you give them hundreds of dollars to stay there, and also it's more expensive"

I have been praying for this kind of pushback from Democrats against Elon Musk for a long time now and I am thrilled that the Talarico camp is leaning into it. Light. Him. Up.

Hundreds of thousands of children were literally killed due to Elon Musk’s actions. Yet you will still see people treating him like just any public figure, buying Teslas, etc. The world is a dark place. Especially the parts that treat the rich as inherently more valuable than everyone else.

This ad is 🔥🔥🔥🔥

The biggest danger to this administration is being a non-white person who is funnier and better at posting than them. That's why they're arresting this woman's family members for running a weed store two weeks before an election. She has the juice and that's dangerous.

Pete Hegseth wanted Eisenhower’s globe for his office. His staff broke.

Armed federal agents “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”

I asked Abdul El-Sayed about his exchange with the GOP plant about religion. El-Sayed has a theory of how to combat MAGA bad faith: Don't let it frame the discussion. Flush out the assumptions underlying the outrage bait. Here's El-Sayed answer. Read to the end: newrepublic.com/article/2169...

Thanks for always having my back ❤️ see you on the campaign trail.

In the bedrock of my soul I know he started out thinking the press pool was a literal pool and has been seething with disappointment since he discovered the mistake

this is like a reverse "daisy." an ad so reprehensible that it detonates the candidate's campaign. tiffinohio.net/posts/acton-...

Another one. The premise: Young people are cutting off their parents for minor mistakes and misunderstandings. The lead anecdote: A woman severs ties with her family for refusing to get vaccinated before her wedding — to a man who *lost his mother and brother to COVID*

there is a piece to be written about this "no contact" as a very specific kind of moral panic about status, intergenerational mobility, and maybe dementia. because it is wild how much this no contact thing riles up older people.

We finally found the paid protesters Trump keeps talking about
