The circumstances of Mr. Escobar's arrest are even worse than the brief summary above. He repeatedly tried to tell the immigration officials that he had papers while they were arresting him. In response, a federal agent said "No you don't. You are illegal," and "Shut up, bitch! You're illegal."

Breaking: A CDC advisory panel filled with RFK Jr.'s handpicked vaccine skeptics just unanimously recommended limiting the COVID shot to people 65 and older or those with underlying health conditions, based on a decision individually or with their doctor.

On a news post, I listed a load of things Graham Linehan has done to LGBTQ people and cis women… do you know what caused the MOST outrage? The word cis. Not the doxxing, not the slurs, not the libel, not the endless abuse he sends people… cis.

I hope you understand that if you show up at a hospital with an infection no one has ever seen before that the US had somewhere you could call. That place would answer, offer testing you can’t get anywhere else and come visit you to solve if necessary.

My mom's always been scared of lightning, but last week when it was really hot she lost electricity, then there was a huge flash of lightning & her power came back on. Since then she's all, "I LOVE lightning!" & I'm like, "You don't love lightning, you love what you think lightning can do for you"

Famously nostalgic period "the 80s" AIDS epidemic Cold War Reagan There's whole generations of queer people just *gone* because the conservatives condemned them to death during the 80s through their willful mismanagement of "god's" epidemic. 80s were a nightmare. This AI slop shit is *ghoulish*

Workers are harvesting cilantro on CAs Central Coast. Seven workers are harvesting the cilantro down below in the field. Other workers are on the machine rinsing the dirt from the plant and then packing it into boxes. Each box contains 30 bunches of cilantro. #WeFeedYou

The heartbreaking thing about this is that there’s already a proven way to invest lots of money in a knowledge machine that produces unforeseeable results that include fantastically profitable ideas (and some life-saving ones) and generally benefit society and this machine is called a university

From the replies (bsky.app/profile/dasb...) here's Sam Altman doing what the quoted post described. He seems serious about it.

Generally when reporters do things, we use multiple sources for verification. Googling a name that you transliterated into Arabic via Google Translate does not, in fact, count.

Olivia Reingold@olivia-reingold.bsky.social

I recently looked up the Arabic translation of some of the names of the emaciated children used in coverage of the alleged famine in Gaza. It turns out that many of them were sick before the war and have long, complicated medical histories. Our reporting shows they do not represent the average.

In our area the dashers and Instacart drivers are doing it to put food on their table that very day. Each day they have to run a minimum of 20 to 30 orders just to make enough to buy some groceries for their own families. /

STOP conceding that Trump can legitimately expand grab by deploying baseless claims of “emergency.” There was NO EMERGENCY to justify tariffs. There was NO “INVASION” to justify this migrant crackdown. And there is NO “EMERGENCY” that justifies military takeover of local law enforcement in D.C.

I am a bit of a broken record on this, but are local DAs going to let this continue indefinitely? The ICE agents didn't have any kind of warrant, didn't identify themselves, and then recklessly started firing. Let them argue federal immunity.

Alan Elrod@aselrod.bsky.social

A man understandably refused to hand over his ID or get out of the car for a bunch of masked thugs who refused to identify themselves. And when he drove away, they opened fire on him. This isn’t how you do any sort of enforcement when your goal is to uphold the law. This is gangsterism.
