Every day Mamdani comes out and is like "hey guys, I turned off the orphan-crushing machine. Literally just had to flip a switch. Took less than 5 minutes."

After decades of dem leadership pissing and moaning and fundraising about how complex an issue it is and how difficult the process is etc

to the extent that there is a “carrot” to trumpism it is the same carrot that slaveholders offered to lower class white men: “you can be an overseer”

I've been studying the history of US, and indeed, global policing my whole career and I can't make it more clear to law makers that this isn't a bastardization of policing, it is its purest form and logical conclusion. The impunity, militarization, deference, legitimacy, racial targeting, etc.

ICE just shot another one of my neighbors. They had the person on the ground, being beaten by several agents, and then fired multiple shots. In front of the donut shop where we like to get donuts for our kids.

one thing about immigration reporting at this particular moment is many US news organizations actively do not interview or hire non-Americans and the ones who do, don't make it easy for them to stay in the country, don't understand the process or constant stress or consider it a "bias"

New— An American citizen boarding flight from Boston to Lisbon just now told me after showing boarding pass, every passenger stopped on jetway by two ICE agents demanding to take their photo. When passenger asked why, ICE threatened to detain them. If they said no photo, couldn't board/TBD detained.

Frey: "This notion of inflammatory comments -- c'mon guys. I dropped an F bomb, they killed someone. Which one of those is more inflammatory? I'm going with the killing somebody."

In America you drop your kid off at school, get your brains blown out on the ride home, then the Vice President drops everything for a week to call you a terrorist, to slander your family, to protect the circumstances that led to your death so they can do it again. It is government by Alex Jones.

Happens quite a lot with Gemini, which I figured would be better given Google's search index. Frequently hallucinates sources and URLs when repeatedly pressed for more examples or citstions, or will link to a page that is unrelated.

So many visitors to India are all like " I don't want to do touristy things I want to experience life as a local" and then claim they're bored when they have to just stay indoors all day to avoid the sun and catch up with ppl at the park in the evening to insult the prime minister

This is almost unreal incompetence.

Here's how this area of inquiry was discussed in Monday's opinion.

In short, this is the afterthought, the ~it couldn't be this, could it?~ moment in the opinion: "If this procedure did not take place, then the Court is in uncharted legal territory ..."

BREAKING: The US BLS (Bureau of Labor Statistics) says it won't publish the October jobs report

Completely undercutting the same argument they use against minimum wage increases, while also shifting blame to people in case of adverse outcomes.

A lot of the awareness of identity politics comes from having exposure to other identities in the same social or economic class, and I think for a lot of rural enclaves that are predominantly white, that exposure doesn't exist.

You either resign in disgrace, or you live long enough to see yourself become Rudy Giuliani.

Cuomo does both.

If you go and talk to the Black people directly you're just taking the bread right out of the mouths of the family of that former Obama staffer. He's not going to be able to afford a new podcast mic.

It's been said elsewhere, but there was a very real first-mover advantage to her endorsement since she can get some of his campaign's shine.

Genuinely asking, what even is the Labour Party now?

I'm sure there are other factors in the history, but there's a lot pointing solely to Kevin O'Leary as the main reason the educational games market died in the early 2000s. theoutline.com/post/6293/re...

How every blue state can counter new GOP gerrymanders For many, fighting fire with fire won't be easy, but it's always possible

There's been a lot of misinformation and wishful thinking out there about how Dems might counter new GOP gerrymanders, so we just published a special report explaining how *every* single blue state (and a few purple ones) could respond.

We've left no stone unturned. Read our piece below.

But can an LLM suggest a stupid neoliberal shock therapy plan to combat debt in developing nations that will only make things worse?

Glad someone is researching this! Love audiobooks through local libraries and lots of them outside of marquee titles have the most grating AI narration.
