man this is embarrassing

The student newspaper.
This fell. To the student. Newspaper.

Former 'Alligator Alcatraz' worker describes 'inhumane' conditions inside In an exclusive report, NBC6 spoke with a former corrections officer who says she saw hundreds held in cages with no sunlight, backed up toilets and little access to showers.

A former “Alligator Alcatraz” worker says detainees are subject to “inhumane” conditions — packed by the hundreds into cages without sunlight, with overflowing toilets and limited access to showers.

Tweet from Cassidy: It is unfortunate that the Secretary just canceled a half a billion worth of work, wasting the money which is already invested. He has also conceded to China an important technology needed to combat cancer and infectious disease. President Trump wants to Make America Healthy Again and Make America Great Again. This works against both of President Trump’s goals.

Senator Bill Cassidy’s vote secured the nomination of Robert F. Kennedy jr. He’s now issued a brief statement faintly calling Kennedy’s destruction of vaccine research “unfortunate”

Chris Cuomo posting a deepfake of AOC the same week that Jim Acosta “interviews” a deepfake of a school shooting victim are both harbingers of how traditional media power players will help usher in the worst of the AI slop era

If anyone is curious about the current list of search terms being used by right wing activist organizations to harass university professors, here's a public records request I received today from Mike Howell of the Heritage Foundation. Not intimidating or meant to curtail by my speech at all, right?

it's fine, we moved her to a low-security prison which we then had to frantically upgrade to a medium-security prison

He cooked Trump

This really feels like a defining post of our time

Wehrschiessen des Deutschen Volkes 1944 [Young man and old man sharing a rifle]

Oh look, ICE is copying literal Nazi recruiting propaganda again. The poster on the right is for the Volkssturm, the Nazi militia of older men and boys established during the final months of World War II.

As Floridians get hospitalized, state agriculture commissioner warns against raw milk State Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo reports the cases, but won't say raw milk is dangerous.

Florida Agriculture Commissioner Wilton Simpson is doing something State Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo would not: Encourage people to consume pasteurized milk products only.

Library of Congress @librarycongress It has been brought to our attention that some sections of Article 1 are missing from the Constitution Annotated (https://constitution.congress.gov) website. We’ve learned that this is due to a coding error. We have been working to correct this and expect it to be resolved soon.

After generating an online outcry, The Library of Congress blames what it claims is a “coding error.”

Inside Laura Loomer’s rise: ‘Obsessive’ research, Oval Office visits Laura Loomer has leveraged a personality that friends label “obsessive” and an extreme loyalty to Trump to emerge as a powerful figure in the president’s orbit.

New: Laura Loomer once said she "couldn't get a job at McDonald's." Now she's the loyalty enforcer for the most powerful man in the world.

“She has no life outside this … This is all she does"

Dozens of FEMA staffers involuntarily reassigned to support deportations DHS said the moves won’t hinder disaster readiness, but current and former FEMA officials said losing that many people will hurt an already much reduced agency.

Just as hurricane season kicks off, Trump involuntarily reassigns FEMA staffers to ICE.

This cannot play out well!

Superman star enlists in ICE as fans say he's 'lost his mind' Dean Cain joined the ranks of ICE as he proudly declared his dedication to deporting undocumented immigrants from the United States.

We found our Bizarro for the sequel!

In 2016, Ghislaine Maxwell falsely stated, under oath, that she was not aware that Jeffrey Epstein recruited underage girls for sex (you know, the ones she was actually recruiting on his behalf). She was charged with two counts of perjury for this.

Remind me why we give a shit what she says now?

The further we get into this story, the more it's feeling like a significant turning point in the mobilization of Democratic Party opposition to Trump II.

This is why Charlottesville melted down its Lee statue. If the statue is removed and simply put in storage, it remains what @artcrimeprof.bsky.social calls “America’s strategic racism reserve.”

To any politicians who stumble upon this, note how Mamdani uses a *gift link*.

stanford's student paper is enormously ballsy and brought down the college president a couple of years ago

I'm not sure it has registered widely and deeply enough that the FBI director—along with the director of national intelligence—is making up lies to create predicates for sham DOJ investigations and perhaps prosecutions of Trump's critics and foes. This is what happens in an authoritarian state.

Well here's a weird one...

Key sections from the U.S. Constitution have gone missing from the U.S. government's official website, including sections 8 through 10, which include legal provisions like habeas corpus (aka due process). The White House hasn't commented.

Home Depot and Lowe's Share Data From Hundreds of AI Cameras With Cops Home improvement stores are finding ways to share data from their Flock license plate reader cameras with law enforcement, according to public records.

“Have these companies given thought about how this data might put their customers in danger, whether it's cops stalking their exes or aggressive ICE agents targeting yard workers? Probably not." www.404media.co/home-depot-a...

"Unlike the left, we don't believe in erasing history" says the guy renaming ships and purging any mention of like the navajo code talkers, tuskegee airmen, black medal of honor winners, etc

ICE raided the Westlake Home Depot in Los Angeles this morning. LATU organizers snapped some photos from the raid—one sticks out: ICE agents rolling up in a Penske rental truck.

Wonder where they got the idea😬

Trying to avoid detection? Is this policy now? Are they now doing roving gangs in this?

LAWSUIT: FIRE challenges unconstitutional provisions Rubio uses in crusade to deport legal immigrants over protected speech FIRE seeks a landmark ruling that the First Amendment forbids the government from deporting lawfully present noncitizens for constitutionally protected speech

“In the United States of America, no one should fear a midnight knock on the door for voicing the wrong opinion.”

NEW: FIRE is challenging provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act allowing Rubio to target noncitizens for 1A protected speech.

Proud of this work and my colleagues. Let's go.

Has anyone explained yet why Trump was on the White House roof, talking about nuclear weapons?
