Your friendly reminder that the District of Columbia is the *only* jurisdiction in the entire country in which there are no local prosecutors accountable to the people who actually live and pay taxes there.

(And that there should be.)

they should already be taking all the jobs on wall street. it's all algorithms anyway, what do we need humans for?

Who's going to make some sunglasses that look just like Fuckerberg's surveillance machines but instead live stream the content to be recorded on a private server for the purpose of recording the civil rights abuses of the the federal government, to be used in the future to hang Nazis?

I just can't imagine that there is ever a case where they need to pull someone out of a car. Ever. This is as heartbreaking as it is enraging.

haha this rules.

folks don't know that AIs scraping websites accounts for like half of all internet bandwidth usage right now. Sites get scraped- ie, all the contents downloaded- over and over again, destroying/wasting their bandwidth, often maxing it out. It's like being continually DDOS'd

It’s only problematic through a capitalist lens -- to people who mistake community for a growth metric rather than a space for actual conversation.

"So the tariff is paid in this country by the importer, is that right?" -- Eugene Robinson guides Scott Bessent into acknowledging that tariffs are in fact paid in the United States, not by foreign governments

This is fascism and a step towards the destruction of the Union.

💯💯💯

don't worry tho, the entirety of the democratic party apparatus will tell us we're being hyperbolic and overreacting, to just chill and "let the grownups" handle things.

lookin at you, @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social

great job, @schumer.senate.gov! way to rubber stamp Patel!

for the love of all that is good in this world, RESIGN @schumer.senate.gov!!

Also, it costs about $15 billion to conduct the census under normal conditions, probably more if they’re rushing it.

What Are My Rights During an ICE Raid? Immigration law can be tricky, but here's what you should know.

Dealing with law enforcement can be stressful, so it’s important to know your rights before you’re face-to-face with ICE agents. While there’s never any guarantee that law enforcement officers will follow the law, here’s what they can and can’t legally do to you and what you can legally demand. ⬇️

A person familiar with the matter confirms that CISA will be publishing an emergency directive to agencies tomorrow that requires them to patch this vulnerability.

The shots of Mars look absolutely stunning on a 4K OLED tv. Like, jaw-dropping stunning. 😳

Everyone: You're not being attacked by astrology, or ginseng tea. You're being attacked by white nationalists.

The most effective things between you and the nazis were Black folk and anti-fascists. But too many of y'all sided with the nazis against Black folk with anti-woke, anti-BLM, and anti-DEI🤦🏿‍♂️

The Martian is such a well done movie that I can literally watch it over and over and over and over again and never get tired of it.

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

Border Patrol at a Home Depot in Los Angeles days after the 9th circuit affirmed a court order that purports to block this exact behavior. They don't even know who they're chasing! This is insane. Send them all to jail.

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?

I feel like every single day I need to post a reminder: if you ask an LLM about itself it DOES NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ITS INNER WORKINGS and WILL NOT TELL YOU ANYTHING ACTUALLY ABOUT ITSELF. It just (as it always does) will make up some plausible sounding answer.
