“If the person is a U.S. citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States, that individual will be free to go after the brief encounter.”
Justice Brett Kavanaugh
Kavanaugh stops in action: ICE tackled a non-verbal kid near his school, left him with injuries requiring surgery, and then left the scene when they realized he wasn't the person they were looking for www.independent.com/2026/10/23/i...
Anthropic's IPO prospectus has some things to say about climate risks...
"the physical effects of climate change may increase our operating costs over time, as higher average temps can increase the power consumption and water usage required to cool equipment at the facilities on which we depend"
VICTORY: A federal court just put the chainsaws down at East Potomac Park

Everyone should read these threads I did about industry lobbyists and the EPA and understand them. Take the time to see the unambiguous evidence of what's happening now at this moment inside the EPA. Please retweet them. Please read them. Each one of the threads. It's happening in slow motion.
“I don’t want any of us to be or feel un-housed in our bodies our towns our movements ever again. This book is my prayer; if you need to use it as shelter, it’s yours.”

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was driving his construction crew to work when an ICE officer shot and killed him in Houston.
He wasn’t even the person ICE was looking for.

70 percent of the internet was vulnerable yesterday to very bad security flaws inside a coding language. Turns out, *one volunteer* is mostly responsible for maintaining that code & helping push updates. Yesterday Ondřej Surý saved the internet. So I called him up www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...
Finland ordered the suspension of Google's data center plans after discovering a series of fraudulent representations in its permit submissions. Now Finns are fuming over Google's illegal felling of 250,000 trees to clear land for the project. www.theguardian.com/environment/...
Good morning!
To my all my girls, guys, gays and everyone in between; dont ever let someone make you feel like your heart is too big, or your feelings are too much. In a world filled with so much hatred and negativity, continue to be that light. Sometimes mf cant take how bright you shine ✨
For those wondering if their vote matters:
Speaking as a historian, there have been elections throughout American history that were decided by an AMAZINGLY SMALL number of votes.
Don't surrender your right to have a say.

JUST IN: The police shooting that killed 1-year-old Kohen Wiley as he sat in his mother’s lap in a Walmart parking lot in Senatobia, Miss., in June “was justified,” Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch’s office said on Monday.
Her office will not charge the white officer who shot the child.
SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

I listen to RFK Jr.’s absolute turd of a podcast so you don’t have to, and I’ve got some grievances about the latest one with Anna Paulina Luna.
It has to do with body size.
RFK Jr. at least twice used the phrase “slim and healthy” to describe his ideal version of good health, and it’s wrong.
Some content back up BUT NO administrative access for No Kings organizers
Does Meta not think we are paying attention?
Pro-democracy state AG's, legislatures & regulators should be all over investigating this--& so should a new pro-democracy Congress

I’m alarmed that more people aren’t alarmed by Trump targeting Somali Americans and labeling them “garbage” and “crooks” who “contribute nothing.” Most of them are U.S. citizens, yet Trump says, “I don’t want them in our country.”
If you know history, you know the horror this can lead to.
Performance evaluations are due today and CDC Feds are patiently awaiting their assigned bracket.
Because, not only are our scores deflated, as only a certain % of the agency can get a 5/5, but we’re also going to be RANKED against each other, even if we’ve done our jobs to satisfaction. 👍🆒
Does arresting the wife of an enlisted man and mother of four US citizen children, a person who’s been here since she was 6 years old, make our country great again?
NEW: ICE is trying to deport a mother of 4 while her husband is at Fort Benning in Army basic training. When she went to pick up the family's military IDs, Navy personnel turned her over to ICE. She's been in the US since age six. With @nancyayoussef.bsky.socialwww.theatlantic.com/politics/202...
I am surprised the partial outage at IRS.gov has not gotten any coverage. I have not been able to set up an installment plan for two days now, site says my return isn't processed and I'm technically late in filing. Been on hold for an hour...
