My first thought was "did Buzz Aldrin die?" But then I realized he wasn't there for this photo en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthrise

Another horrific series of press rights abuses tonight at hands of LAPD.

Initial reports are 4 journalists injured (several bleeding), 3 cameras broken, 5 put in zip ties.

All in defiance of state law, a judge's order, and chief's signed order.

LAPD can't police itself. Maybe the judge will.

The Trump administration has largely targeted elite private universities in recent parts as part of what it has depicted as a campaign to fight antisemitism and reshape institutions that it views as cathedrals of liberalism.

Unusual language here in the New York Times’ claim that the Trump administration is trying to “reshape institutions that it views as cathedrals of liberalism.” What is the definition of a “cathedral of liberalism” and what right does Trump have to “reshape” it?

"No one is talking about… "

Lemme stop you right there. 🤚🏾

You can talk about it. Then someone *is* talking about it.

really feels like housing affordability is one of the most important political issues of our time, affecting nearly every aspect of our lives, and everyday our mainstream political discourse is about whether sour cream is woke or not

The top AI chat tools are all trained to be persuasive and appear helpful. Customer satisfaction is a more valued metric than accuracy

It really does feel like a lot of formerly reasonable people have been infected by some sort of terrifying brain parasite when it comes to unthinking and total acceptance of using AI tools

Hmm — good thing that Trump made sure to vanquish the Deep State™ menace known as the Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Administration. I’m sure any witnesses exposed by this breach will thank Trump for his vigilance.

I had a 2 hour wait time on my call. Big thanks to Trump for all the efficiency!

I realize broad science-literacy problems cannot generally be solved just by shoving more facts at people but I really wish more people understood that the entire purpose and mechanism of a vaccine is to educate your OWN immune system, making it about the most "natural" medical intervention possible

Also, Republican's in congress already have oversight authority of DC, and this is not a new thing

Two things:

1. This is over a simple attempted carjacking. It's nothing but a fascist power grab.

2. The Trump administration doesn't have enough federal law enforcement to police DC, patrol 7,500 miles of border, arrest 1,000 immigrants a day and occupy major cities. They cannot do all this.

JD Vance’s team had water level of Ohio river raised for family’s boating trip Exclusive: Incident raises questions of exploitation of public services, but Secret Service says it was requested for ‘safe navigation’

For decades I have swum and boated in this lake. You don’t have to get the government to raise its water level to kayak. You get in, push off, and paddle. Decadent empire stuff.

So basically they are going to look up how many black people were admitted in a given university and decide whether it’s too many. We all know they aren’t going to look at thousands of schools, so this is really about the Ivies…again.

The far-reaching changes would restrict public access to cameras on boats footage, remove the requirement for fishers to land all their catch, and stop legal challenges to catch limits that have been successful in protecting species in recent years👇

Republicans sure are pulling out all the stops to wield the government against Texas Democrats. Warrants, FBI, court processes. Not a second wasted. Goes to show that if they *wanted* to bring Epstein's clients to justice, they could. They just don't want to.

This is the problem with everything right now. What people call the "deep state" is mostly a set of institutions that are fundamental to keeping promises and continuity beyond the boundaries of presidencies. And a government that cannot keep promises is no government at all.

Great investigation into a network of ~26 pay-for-play sites posing as established media outlets. The publications, with names like “New York Mirror“ and “Berliner Zeitung“ are part of the GNN Group, which purportedly sells bundles articles on its “reviv[ed] iconic brands” for up to 45,000 euros.
