Jack Dorsey just halved the size of Block's employee base — and he says your company is next | TechCrunch Jack Dorsey has long been an open admirer of Elon Musk. Now, it seems, he may have been taking notes.

If you're using Square, Cash App, and Tidal, I would suggest being wary of them going forward

“move faster with smaller, highly talented teams using AI to automate more work.”

Yeah, okay sure cool yeah okay... *as I'm deleting Cash App*

Homeland Security &
@DHSgov
X.com
Law enforcement uses 'reasonable suspicion' to make arrests, as protected under the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The Supreme Court has already vindicated us on this position.
A person's immigration status makes them a target for enforcement, not their skin color, race or ethnicity.
@TriciaOhio

DHS getting basic 4th Amendment law wrong on its official Twitter account.

Seems like this post is bound to show up as an exhibit in one of the cases challenging ICE/Border Control enforcement actions.

Just before Christmas, I got a puppy.
Her name is Minerva, and we call her *Minnie.

I'm still learning how to understand her.

Me: Do you need to go outside? Do you need to go outside, little baby? Do you need to do a poo?
Do you need to do a widdle piddle?

Minnie: Arf!

*I just call her "little baby" most of the time.

I'm also realizing I can't turn off the baby talk now.
Nobody tells you about that.

I got so lucky with my first puppy.
Her wonderful foster parents had her completely house-trained by the time we adopted her, so taking her outside for potty time has been pretty easy. I've got the puppy poopy routine pretty much down, now.

Me, putting on my coat: Let's see... I got the little poopy bags, puppy treats for bribes, jacket, scarf, phone… I think that's everything… Oh yes! And my passport.

I had been carrying around my passport for a while, but I knew it didn't matter. This is wrong. Nobody is required to carry around their papers.

I became a US citizen when I was seven. Since I was born in a refugee camp, I was stateless.
The US is the only nation where I've ever held citizenship. It's the only passport I've ever had, and it still felt important. Protective.

I would hold it in my pocket like a talisman, like it might ward off ghosts or something. But I realized I was holding onto it basically out of superstition.
ICE will pick up anybody.

I know that.

So I tucked my passport away.

And I largely avoid leaving my house.

I live a few blocks just South of George Floyd Square. I was in the neighborhood for that, too.
And all the neighbors came together to protect each other. We're already organized.
We'll do our best to get through this.

Me, to my dog: I hope I can take you for a walk someday soon. Won't that be nice, little baby?

Abolish ICE. A little journal comic from South Minneapolis.

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness.

You could be next.

I watched the most recent Knives Out movie last night and am still scratching my head about its 92% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Daniel Craig’s performance was so hammy you could serve it on rye.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.

Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.

Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they?

Photo of a closeup on the forehead and eyes of a brown and white mini horse covered in snowflakes. It's on a snowflake background and text says "double your impact and help us help her.

Little Clementine came here because her 97 year old owner could no longer care for her. She is elderly, nearly blind and has no record of vetting so she needs extensive dental, hoof, and medical care.

something i learned when a fact checker hired by @swordsjew.bsky.social called me is that books only have fact checkers if the author insists on it or even hires one themselves. you can put anything in a book. that was the only fact checker i’ve ever talked to but i’ve been quoted in other books
