The choice to frame this rhetorically as a negotiation *with ICE and DHS* rather than, you know, a decision about their future made by their rightful superiors in the popularly elected legislature is, to me, incredibly grating.

Statement of support from Jonathan Greenblatt in 3…2…

More and more I worry about how hard they’re trying to make it for legislators to do site visits. If they go from concentration camps to death camps, will we even know?

Like Lucy with the football but instead of taking the football away, she’s shooting an innocent person on the street.

JFC this is hard to read

What about the % that think he acts unethically and enthusiastically support it?

As AI enters the operating room, reports arise of botched surgeries and misidentified body parts Medical device makers have been rushing to add AI to their products. While proponents say the new technology will revolutionize medicine, regulators are receiving a rising number of claims of patient ...

this may be a radical take BUT I think we should proceed cautiously with the rushed integration of half-cooked automation into problematic business sectors in a broadly-corrupt country without functional regulatory oversight

I worked on the emergency teams preparing for 2 Super Bowls in previous decades. We were focused on international terrorist threats, not threats from our own federal government.

Maybe Dems in Congress should consider doing something about that.

The FTC’s AI Preemption Authority is Limited Andy Jung takes argues the Trump administration’s effort to use the FTC to preempt state AI consumer protection laws will run into significant constraints.

The Trump administration is pushing the Federal Trade Commission to override state AI consumer protection laws, but the agency’s power is constrained by federalism, says TechFreedom’s Andy Jung. And any preemption effort must clear several hurdles, including a lengthy rulemaking process.

Wow, it's state police. What the fuck? Gov Walz, what's up with this?

But yeah, this is definitely not changing my opinion that no one who wants to be a cop should be allowed to be.

Don't let up on this story. ICE thugs are still there, terrorizing the community. The institution needs to be abolished, and everyone working there needs to be made permanently unemployable.

Luttig: It doesn’t matter what the Supreme Court does from this point forward. For two years, the Supreme Court has authorized the absolute lawlessness and unconstitutional activity of this president.

I think this intuition is flipped in the Supreme Court/FedSoc understanding of the world. Right are important—if ever—only to the extent they don’t get in the way of the executive doing what it wants.

That flip is fundamental to a lot that’s messed up right now.

To be fair, he’s probably got the right invitation legally speaking. Both are just murder.

STOP talking shit about 2028 Democratic presidential primary candidates:

Walz is PERSONABLE

Shapiro is RHETORICALLY GIFTED

AOC is CHARISMATIC

Pritzker is SUCCESSFUL

Newsom

Buttigieg has EXECUTIVE EXPERIENCE

Billionaires shouldn’t exist, exhibit #45286

Now Is Defund's Moment The movement was always about fighting fascism, not winning elections

the defund police movement was pilloried as unpopular and an electoral loser. but it wasn't about winning elections; it was about building antifascist power.

now even centrist dems are (veeeery tentatively) using those ideas as we face a fascist crisis. www.everythingishorrible.net/p/now-is-def...

I dunno, I’d be pretty shocked if they totally revamped their core mission from right wing enabler of cancel culture bs complaints to an org that actually gives a damn about free speech.

I was about to send a fiery email in response. But I decided it wasn’t worth my time and just ignored it.

If the product were that good you wouldn’t have to force people to use it. This is insane.

If you missed it last night, please please please read Gwen’s great thread about why snitching is bad, even when you disagree with a tactic someone is using

A national conversation that Schumer is only half listening to, in between daydreaming about governing like the old days

It was bars in Boston that ruined it for me. Every single bar closed out the night with the damn song for years. Then after that, three years of the same in Michigan where they inexplicably love that song even though South Detroit isn’t a real place.

Actually, that’s wrong. It’s probably Hey Jude. Enough drinks and I’ll sing along to journey. The hate has become an inside joke at this point so whatever. But after two “hey Jude”s I leave the room.

Don’t Stop Believing

And someone puts it on every damn time I’m at karaoke.

The amount of glazing these tech bro fascists got from the press is just staggering.

Their big bold ideas turned out to be eugenics and social Darwinism with a more than a dash of Ayn Rand bullshit.

We have to put a tiny amount of fear of consequences into these criminals. And then, if we get the chance, we have to actually pursue them. Sure, they can spend the rest of their lives in non-extradition countries, but never come back to the US.

So the next step from democrats is: “it is illegal to do this without approvals and in 2029 we will hold all companies that take part criminally liable and seize all their assets to pay for restoration.”

But then, while taking a break from Wheels on the Bus to listen to Stairway: “I like this song!” Worth it!

I was just explaining Led Zepplin to my two year old and said well they’re a band that was really big 50 years ago…
