There’s little doubt left in my mind that humans have jumped the shark. Perhaps the last noteworthy thing we did was predict the very cyberpunk nightmare we’re increasingly living in.

Our system is perfectly capable of reining him in, but our representatives are either feckless collaborators, or sycophantic grifters.

He is required to be listed by the name on his birth certificate.

If he is trying to use a different name in #txlege his parents are to be informed per SB12.

Also, it’s nice to know some folks are listening! :) I used to use Twitter like a mad woman. When it went fascist and I left, I didn’t know if I had it in me to spend all that time on a new platform so I’m kinda a casual poster here

The Feds Targeted Charlotte. Now a Local Democrat Who Helped ICE Faces Voters. - Bolts North Carolina lawmaker Carla Cunningham voted to mandate compliance with ICE, and derided immigrants on the House floor. The Democrat faces an intense March primary.

JUST IN: North Carolina's Dem lawmaker Carla Cunningham gave the GOP the decisive vote to pass a law forcing police to comply with ICE. She said "all cultures are not equal."

She just lost reelection BIG in the Dem primary to a progressive pastor & activist, Rodney Sadler. 70% to 22%!

Frame from campaign ad by Rep. Dan Goldman. His face full on center frame under which is the caption in all caps “ABOLISH ICE”

Public pressure means something. Primaries can change policies. In NY-10, Dan Goldman has been running ads for months.
Primaried from his left by @bradlander.bsky.social, Goldman’s ads have gone from “Agents should have to carry ID” in January, to big bold graphics this month that say “Abolish ICE.”

If America still had the rule of law, this would be the easiest prosecution ever, but we all know absolutely nothing will happen.

Prosecutor's Abrego probe began after late Sunday email from on high Hours after receiving the case, the prosecutor who charged Abrego learned about a key witness from Todd Blanche's aide — with unusual timing.

On the day of Abrego's indictment, the district's criminal division chief Ben Schrader resigned.

We just learned he wrote a memo explaining why he thought Abrego shouldn't have been charged. He wanted the memo forwarded to "D.C." It never was, per testimony. www.allrisenews.com/p/abrego-vin...

It's Official: the Cybertruck is More Explosive than the Ford Pinto - FuelArc News We now have a full year of data for the Cybertruck, and a strange preponderance of headlines about Cybertrucks exploding into flames, including several fatalities. That’s more than enough data to comp...

The Ford Pinto had a death rate of 85 people for 10 million cars sold. The Cybertruck hasn't sold 10 million, but the fatality rate so far maths out to 1,452 people killed per 10 million sold.

The Cybertruck may be the deadliest road car, for the occupants, ever sold.

This guy is my hero for today. He sees the opportunity and he grabs it — and he pushes harder when he realizes she’s trying to distract from what he said and avoid an actually important topic.

I didn’t write this — Jess Steier at @unbiasedscipod.bsky.social did — but I heartily endorsed every word when I shared it elsewhere, and it mirrors things I’ve been saying for years.

Remember, these guys fired all the people who actually know what they're doing because "DEI" and then hired the absolute dumbest people imaginable because of "meritocracy" and... then they do stuff like leaving comments enabled in their "this is how we concentration camp" PDF.
