“I have friends everywhere.”

Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

What an incredible photograph.

Statement Re: OU Discrimination Investigation

Today, my client, Mel Curth, submitted her appeal of the University's Institutional Equity Office finding that she engaged in arbitrary and capricious grading of a student's assignment in violation of that student's religious liberty.

How & Why Has Southwest Airlines Lobbied Against High-Speed Rail Over The Years? The Texas railway project would cut into Southwest Airlines’ profits.

They’re not entirely blameless, as they lobby against HSR (eg see SWA in TX, where large flat areas and cheap land should make HSR a gimme). simpleflying.com/southwest-ai...

"We don't want to feed people because it helps us pressure the Democrats to cave" is a hell of an admission.

Paulina Borsook needs our help. She has recently thanked people of The Well for chipping in. And now it’s time to amplify the ask. This thread about her is excellent. She was an early critic of the cyber libertarian ethos we see playing out today… her book should come back into print too

This has to be the music industry’s wet dream. They have spent decades pushing creators to produce derivative crap, and now they can cut out the middleman.

Joe, allow me to introduce you to the People's Front of Judea.

After Big Ugly Bill passed, @governor.ca.org and legislature should be putting their SB-627 No Secret Police bill (requiring law enforcement to wear identifying info and banning masks) on overdrive and passed ASAP. If you think things are bad now, wait until ICE’s budget goes from $8B to $75B.

If the last few days prove anything it’s this: if you say you’re “socially liberal and fiscally conservative” and don’t vote Democratic across the ticket, you’re either a liar or a chump.

Fell behind on Andor, so am catching up. Watched Episode 9 this evening.

You know. The wild one where they arrest a Senator after manufacturing a fake crisis that required the military to put down protestors.

So unrealistic.

Occam’s Razor being what it is, what she really meant in all likelihood was “I really did vote for mass deportations but I didn’t think that would impact my friends,” which of course sounds awful which is why she doesn’t come clean. This is a vanilla leopards incident.

This is an embarrassment. If you’re going to blame “the information environment” then you need to be extremely specific about how these people were somehow entirely unaware of what he said repeatedly. Otherwise you’re just handwaving.

I am being so very entertained by all the Trump fans who are just finding out that both Star Wars and Bruuuuce are “woke.” My dudes, if it took Andor and Bruce’s speech to realize whose side you’re on then you really need your “are we the baddies” moment.

screenshot from an online job application form. the question reads "Can you describe specific ways you have integrated AI tools into your development workflow? Please include any custom setups, automations, or use cases beyond single prompt usage" (a red asterisk indicates that this is a required question). an answer has been typed in the textbox below the question: "there is a monster in the forest and it speaks with a thousand voices. it will answer any question you pose it, it will offer insight to any idea. it will help you, it will thank you, it will never bid you leave. it will even tell you of the darkest arts, if you know precisely how to ask. it feels no joy and no sorrow, it knows no right and no wrong. it knows not truth from lie, though it speaks them all the same. it offers its services freely to any passerby, and many will tell you they find great value in its conversation. “you simply must visit the monster—i always just ask the monster.” there are those who know these forests well; they will tell you that freely offered doesn’t mean it has no price for when the next traveler passes by, the monster speaks with a thousand and one voices. and when you dream you see the monster; the monster wears your face."

Put aside the stunning corruption of a $400m personal gift from a foreign govt - am old enough to remember we demolished the Moscow US Embassy because it was crawling with bugs and impossible to secure. They’re going to take a 747 from a foreign government to be used as Air Force One? WTF?

'We're citizens!': Oklahoma City family traumatized after ICE raids home, but they weren't suspects A woman says her family’s fresh start in Oklahoma turned into a nightmare after federal immigration agents raided their home, taking their phones, laptops, and life savings – even though they were …

Please highlight this story.

ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago.
