Happy to see Trump imploding over Epstein, but the guy passed a budget that gives ICE 3x the budget of the Marines.

Marc Andreessen Is a Traitor It is the tech oligarchs, not young radicals, who have turned against the system that made them.

“They have betrayed the society that enriched them, and have put us at serious risk of authoritarianism, ethnic cleansing, lawlessness, and stagnation. They have betrayed the values that made that society great, values which they apparently only ever held superficially”

I seriously think the Social Internet is 21st century cigarettes. Complete with secondary smoke causing a lot of harm in nonusers.

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

When they can pretend the violence came from the left, they insist all Democrats are responsible and ideology is to blame.

When there's no denying the violence came from the right, though, they back off and pretend ideology had nothing to do with it. Certainly not anything *they* said.

2 of 53 Republican senators spent the day mocking the assassination if a Democratic lawmaker from Minnesota. They will face no accountability from Corporate Media or Republicans because no one holds Republican lawmakers accountable for anything, they are assumed to have no agency for their actions.

Mike Lee shouldn't just be expelled from Congress, he should be expelled from public life, just completely shunned by everyone he encounters like in that episode of The Twilight Zone.

He is unfit to hold public office and his party should take action. The party won't, but it should.

Mario Guevara, the metro Atlanta-based Spanish-language reporter who built a mass audience with his coverage of immigration raids, could be deported following his arrest at a protest over the weekend, according to his attorney. A lawyer for Guevara told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) lodged what is known as a “detainer” against the journalist, which is often the first step in deportation procedures.

ICE is attempting to deport an Atlanta-based Spanish-language reporter from El Salvador who has been covering their immigration abductions. He has legal work authorization and a path to a green card.

This is pretty obviously an assault on the free press.

There Will Never Be Another "WTF With Marc Maron" | Defector I heard Marc Maron announce he was ending his podcast the way that I imagine he’d’ve wanted me to—while walking through my neighborhood in Los Angeles, through wired headphones, just a little too hopp...

Wrote about why there will never be another podcast quite like "WTF with Marc Maron."

Fantastic article. Captures exactly why I love WTF so much.

Sometimes Trump comes up with things so extra monumentally stupid even I’m at a loss for words. He wants to take away Veterans Day. He thinks WWII ended on May 8th. This is all so ridiculous. At what point do Republicans admit Trump is insane?

Trump's meme coin, which had fizzled in value, surges after offer of dinner with the president President Trump's meme coin had lost 88% of its value. But an offer of dinner with the president helped boost its price on Wednesday.

Trump is using his vapid meme coin to take bribes in exchange for pardons and special treatment. He has made hundreds of millions of dollars this way, and his SEC is just . . . letting it happen.

Just staggering open air corruption.

Wait.
Just found out that the CEO of Gumroad now works at DOGE? And that he saved up loads of money 'cause he fired everyone and replaced them with AI?
I'm leaving the platform as soon as I get my money. Jesus christ.

We already know that Rs don't care about people elsewhere since likely millions more people will die due to abrupt foreign financial and medical aid cuts, but now they're gleefully killing people in the US as well. If you voted Trump you can't claim you "didn't vote for this", you absolutely did.

U.S. to End Vaccine Funds for Poor Countries A 281-page spreadsheet obtained by The Times lists the Trump administration’s plans for thousands of foreign aid programs.

Health: The impact on health is massive. To begin, U.S. funding cuts to Gavi are projected to deny approximately 75 million children routine vaccinations in the next five years, with more than 1.2 million children potentially dying as a result. 🧵3

Should Trump be in charge of the White House press corps? WHCA considers putting Trump's press secretary in charge. Hell no.

What the hell is this? Absolutely not.

Proud to join my colleagues in signing this letter to our students.

It is a time to say true things, clearly.

Today, I am calling on Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and other top officials in the Trump administration to resign immediately due to their reckless and unlawful disclosure of national security secrets. Their actions have put our country at risk, and immediate accountability is necessary

Sure, you can train your data on my open source code. Most of it is written in React and while I was very angry. Let it be a curse upon you.

X post by Timothy Snyder (@TimothyD ...), posted 6 hours ago. The post reads, "The people Attorney General Bondi is calling 'terrorists' have had no trial and no chance to defend them. We do not know they are. Ignoring the Constitution does not make us safe. It puts us all in peril."

I know this first hand. When I was a child, my entire community was branded as spies and sabateurs, justifying our internment inside barbed wire camps for years without due process, trial or charge.

More of this!

Armed government agents went to the home of a lawful resident of the United States without a warrant and arrested him over the content of his speech. This is a five-alarm fire for civil liberties.
