Here's something to conjure with. @chicagopublicsquare.com refers us to an article that notes that "ICE moves toward a plan to track 'Americans exercising their First Amendment rights.'"

Don't think that this is new. J. Edgar Hoover did this in the past, as did multiple federal agencies. New? No.

From @poynterinstitute.bsky.social guy Tom Jones: “According to [union steward] Sarah Kaplan, . . . the [Washington Post] is dropping between 350 and 375 journalists. With the newsroom’s pre-layoff strength at 790 people, that means between 44 percent and 47.5 percent of the newsroom has been axed.”

Much better quiz results this week: 7/8. Color me happy.

Minneapolis man charged with threatening, cyberstalking ICE officers Attorney General Pamela Bondi alleged in a statement that Wagner doxed and threatened law enforcement officers, claimed an affiliation with antifa and “encouraged bloodshed in the streets.”

He “claimed an affiliation with antifa” according to the impaired AG. I checked. He’s not part of my cell. The equally dim Leavitt says he’s a “member” of antifa. I checked the membership rolls. He’s not there. How can this be????

I'm advocating for millions of Gmail users who just plain hate the automatic "AI Summary" in emails. If you try to that "feature" off, you turn off lots ofother stuff as well.

I know the service if free, but you never asked - so now let me represent those millions. TURN THAT F'ING AI SUMMARY OFF!
