In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

Pete Hesgeth — who wants to rename the Navy ship that honors Medgar Evers, a WWII veteran who landed on Omaha Beach — is using that same beach for a photo op in which he promises we will “never forget” the veterans there.

What an unbelievable asshole.

Recently, an article has been making it's rounds in the #CSEd community on having different intro CS classes for different purposes.

My thoughts here:

It’s deflection because people have been learning about the Dark Enlightenment movement. They’re scared because people are figuring it all out.

He's lying.
Autism is no epidemic. Diagnostic criteria changed.
In the mid-70's a child had to be severely impaired to get an autism diagnosis.
Now autism is recognized as a spectrum.

A subtle manuever by the EU.

Tapping senators on the shoulder and saying there’s a reward for opposing tariffs — like Rand Paul and McConnell did. 🥃

Some good news: I talked to a retired teacher today and, as one does, asked if they’d heard of Curtis Yarvin.

They not only knew his name, they also knew of his evil anti-democracy plot and connections to Peter Thiel!

Keep getting the word out, people! It’s working!! 📢📢📢

Probationary workers that CISA fired are now being re-hired per court order last week. But CISA is putting them on administrative leave - a paid, non-working status. So staff fired to supposedly save money are now being paid to not work. CISA doesn't say how long the paid-nonworking status will last

So, clearly to goal was not cost savings but rather to have them out of the way of whatever shenanigans are happening or going to happen. What other logical reason could there be?

Is musk a scam?

That’s right. 🇺🇦

18F was doing exactly the type of work that DOGE claims to want – yet we were eliminated shortly after midnight. Read our letter to the American people:

Tesla Sales Fall 45% in Europe as Rivals’ EV Registrations Soar Tesla Inc.’s sales plunged 45% last month across Europe, where rival carmakers saw a surge in electric-vehicle demand.

Go figure.

Q: how to 6x DOGE savings ($2.5b)?

A: Cut subsidies to Tesla ($15b)

21 DOGE staffers resign, saying they won't help 'dismantle' public services Twenty-one members of the United States DOGE Service have resigned, they said in an anonymous letter, citing DOGE's ongoing work dramatically reshaping the federal government.

Even the people working at DOGE say it is a lawless nightmare for America. In fact, they know it better than anyone.

Thanks to these true public servants who won’t stand for such a dangerous betrayal of the American people.

DOGE savings (WSJ): $2.6b

TSLA subsidies (10 years): $15b

Annual increase in deficit: $900b

Cuts to Medicare: $880b

Oh my God if this is true

A point to consider.

Oh? So #Undocumented #Immigrants were used to build SpaceX in Texas?

Do tell!

When I heard Musk say this on Tuesday, my assumption was that it was a programming issue. Because I can code and have written to databases and because I am familiar with other examples of default values being misinterpreted.
Yet somehow Musk isn't.

MAGAs can be summed up in two sentences.

1. They hate everything they don't understand.
2. They don't understand anything.
