This bill would abolish ICE, DHS, and CBP, transferring legitimate customs duties to other departments. It would sunset Section 219 of the INA close the Guantánamo Bay detention facility and shutter all immigration detention centers. You have my sword, milady.
Rep. Delia C. Ramirez has introduced a bill that would abolish not just ICE, but the DHS altogether, repealing the 2002 law establishing the agency and replacing it with one focused on protecting civil and human rights.

These folks are worth watching. H/t @stephen.fosketts.net
Today we're announcing our $445M Series D and announcing that we've reached profitability. Huge thanks to Eclipse for leading the round, which included participation from existing investors USIT, Jane Street, Riot Ventures, Intel Capital, Friends and Family Capital, and Counterpart Ventures.
My 2023 take that AI improves quality and dependability is holding up well. I’ve never thought it was productivity. I’m not saying that we’re seeing quality and dependability improvements _yet,_ however. I am saying that we will turn to those goals as the productivity attempts keep failing
Harvard researchers studied 718 companies and found AI coding agents increased lines of code by 30%, but no major increase in completed tasks or projects. Meanwhile, review time rose 49%. Generating code faster hasn’t translated into completing more work. The bottleneck has moved to code reviews.

Dudes, fucking stop it. AT LEAST STFU if you can’t take action
A man replied to this saying in earnest that women need to get organized and fight for our rights and men will follow. We did that. We do that. We mobilized the largest single day protest in global history on every continent and yet I have fewer rights than my mom did at my age.
Cogent, very rational summary of what I’ve been trying to tell my fellow tech people for years: The ultimate benefactor of all of these products and technologies is people, and ultimately people determine tech’s fate
What I don't get about the "AI as jobless future" scenario is where the money comes from. Gates says tax the companies for using the AI agents, but if no humans are working, who is paying the companies for the AI services they're providing so the companies can pay taxes?

To violate the accountability to the people of Texas they swore before God to uphold, Governor Abbott and his minions simply stop telling anyone what they know about women getting sick and dying
We stood together to demand the release of Texas’ delayed maternal mortality report. Nearly 4 out of 5 pregnancy-related deaths are preventable, and Black women continue to face the highest rates. We need this report to understand why women are dying and build legislation that saves lives.

I'm proud to announce that we secured $351 million for flood prevention in The Bronx and Queens in the Water Resources Development Act. This funding will go directly toward projects that will protect our community from flash floods. qns.com/2026/09/aoc-...

Really important point. Your big star whose artistry you love has many factors driving their decisions besides their feels and pique
Not to defend Ed Sheeran but when you see is an exercise of monopoly over a communication media (concerts) by state-sanctioned oligarchs (how many subsidies have been given to Robert Kraft?), Ed Sheeran is not the problem.

I've been using Edelweiss for years to find books to review and it is surreal to see my book in the listings! @harperbooks.bsky.social #tyrannyatwork

Trump does not care at all about the party, of course, and this Trumpaganza will harm any republicans stupid enough to attend #uspol wapo.st/4qZtak5

Yes. If you want an example of actual real mainstream media bias, this is it. Like the Times with AOC, these reporters and editors pedantically cast smart actions as corrupt and straightforward words as moronic mumbling 1/2
By this measure, you could say the Trump administration is “paying” Maggie Haberman, since having access to him “put her in a position” to write a best-selling book.

On the Tech Field Day Podcast, Tom Hollingsworth is joined by Alastair Cooke & Stephen Foskett to unpack the major drivers shaping technology moving through 2026 and into 2027. youtu.be/gf2F9IS1Qek @Stephen.Fosketts.net @NetworkingNerd.net @DemitasseNZ.bsky.social #TFDPodcast #Anthropic #AISafety
So you know how there’s a discourse in this place about tech brollionaires living in a fantasy world of their own, validated by sycophants of their choosing, where only they are worthy and should decide everything based on their own amazing thoughts? (👀 @anildash.com) Well. 1/3
NEW: Hakeem Jeffries met with Kushner recently to discuss how democrats could work with the administration when we take the house back. We shouldn’t work with fascists, and I’d appreciate a leader who felt the same. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/23/u...
There’s gotta be some kind of “donut hole” emerging, where today’s younger knowledge workers don’t have the experience to produce good work from AI but eventually better understanding of AI enables better training of new knowledge workers
When I was a college hire at Microsoft, they had a program for all their “high potential” hires where we got to network, meet execs and get coaching. That kind of investment in people seems increasingly rare while the rush to AI has created what can best be described as anti-people initiatives.

Two things I learned on @mollyjongfast.bsky.social’s pod today: 1. A major news outlet did a write-up of @peggyflanagan.bsky.social during the primary and 𝘥𝘪𝘥 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘴𝘩𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘓𝘪𝘦𝘶𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘎𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘰𝘳 𝘰𝘧 𝘔𝘪𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘰𝘵𝘢. 1/2
2. On a week-end talk show, @aoc.bsky.social 𝘲𝘶𝘰𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘦𝘭𝘴𝘦 critiquing early wokeism and now the media is acting as if 𝘴𝘩𝘦 said it. This is infuriating. Can we please wake up? I mean it 2/2
Thread. General rule: The reason for a given tradition or community/national concept or observance changes over time, sometimes into something quite different than originally. Every reason all along the way is valid, if not necessarily honest or good
Not that this goes to the deeper issues people are discussing. But the Thanksgiving Holiday has basically nothing to do with the Pilgrims or anything to do with settlers or later white Americans interactions with American Indians. The holiday didn't start with the Pilgrims. The modern day ...
Agree—but experts in what? Not whatever you immediately think. Expert creators do not make expert AI users. Expert AI users do not make expert creators. And I don’t think it’s as simple as “experts in both”
“The 10x engineer used to have better judgment than the 1x engineer, but by making everybody a 10x engineer, you're taking judgment away.” - Chamath Palihapitiya ~~ The idea that AI makes developers interchangeable cogs is the opposite of reality. It widens the gap between experts and novices.
