AOC: This is what I want people to understand: this is our money. When you pay your taxes, that money is being stolen to pay for a vanity project like a ballroom or whatever it is that this guy wants to do, instead of what it should be used for…

It’s telling how many of the large news organizations who are flush with money aren’t sending journalists to cover ICE (and now state trooper) violence overnight outside Delaney Hall and the independent outlets with far less financial and insurance coverage are braving it.

This article from Axios is hilarious. It talks about how religiously unaffiliated, especially agnostic and atheist, voters need to be reasoned with, and have candidates address specific issues, in order to vote for them. Plus, it unlocks a new insult. "What do you know? You're just a 45 cent voter."

This infographic from Fortune, and Anthropic.... Just because you force the owners nephew into a position, it doesn't mean he can do the job. Anyone that's interacted with AI in any of these capacities knows that its still TERRIBLE at its job. #anthropic #ai #claude #artificialintelligence #genai

Psst. When you cancel for this reason too, make sure the airlines know. We have no political power but the airlines do. Even more flights start getting cancelled and they’re going to be panicking even more than they already are.

I’m a legal, white lady born here. They put ICE in airports, I will be cancelling the flight I just booked for May. I won’t be going. Fuck the airlines and fuck the government.

So, I've been seeing the Macbook Neo around, and I decided to check out the specs. It uses the same CPU as the iPhone, and comes with 8 gigs of RAM. For $599, I think there are better deals out there.

The 2029 Pretti Good Act will establish a commission to identify all agents, create a detailed accounting of all acts, and hold criminally liable as necessary. Agents who voluntarily and truthfully disclose will be granted some leniency, provided their crimes did not include murder or torture.

When I say this agency [ICE and CBP] CAN’T be reformed this is why.

Saying there must be trials isn't just an emotive aspiration. Congress can: - Create a new court (complying w/ 6A jury vicinage) - Give it jurisdiction over defined category of crimes - Also create dedicated prosecutors for the same - Strip SCOTUS of appellate jurisdiction It can be done.

the mainstream media has been covering donald trump as a political figure for 11 years now. they know he is full of shit. they push headlines like "trump rules out using military force to take greenland" even though they know the context of his rhetoric. it is a deliberate misinformation tactic.

Seeing Zohran instantly getting a bunch of shit done in like a week makes you realize that politicians could always do that on some level if they wanted it bad enough and very few of them actually do.

i really think there is legit political space for running on "we are going to dismantle ICE"

Great news. This is what an ICE agent looks like in a mugshot. Meet Gerardo Rodriguez, 45, of Temecula, courtesy of the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office. Arrested for "illegally detaining a minor at gunpoint while off duty last week." 🧵

SNAP benefits will be gone, small businesses will suffer, insurance premiums will double, air traffic will be delayed/halted: All of these things are happening because when the gov't shutdown ends, the Epstein Files get released.

Texas has a special election for Sylvester Turner's seat (TX-18), a full seven months after he died, because Abbott capriciously delayed it. A simple, long overdue reform would be for Congress to mandate by federal law how soon after a vacancy special elections have to happen.

I think the Dem governors and mayors can and should do more, legally and nonviolently. some ideas off the top of my head - order DOT to close roads near ICE facilities - conduct routine power and water maintenance to facilities - mire them in endless legal knots - refuse any support whatsoever

We’ve lived 15 years under Citizens United, watching billionaires and corporations shape democracy with their wallets. Reform once seemed impossible. But now, a group in Montana is asking a radical question: What if states simply stopped granting corporations the power to spend in politics?

Raskin: "It's not lost on anyone that shutting the government down allows them not swear in our new colleague, Ms Grijalva from Arizona, who would be the 218th signature to discharge the Epstein files and to put a vote on that on the House floor."

Man, it's so crazy that the Saudis, Jared Kushner's Company, and Silver Lake are buying EA. And, even with all that combined capital, they are still BORROWING $20 BILLION from JPMorgan Chase. Seems like a terrible plan.
