I don’t care about Hillary Clinton or Kamala Harris. They asked a lot of us and they failed us in the end. They’re not our friends—they would have been our chosen antagonists *at best*

If you like these two ghouls, I don’t know what to tell you

i am asking yet again how it is legal for a company to send me a letter saying "sorry somebody stole all your personal information from us and now they have all of your personal information. sucks to be you! bye!" and then they receive no consequences and it happens again a week later

So, who still believes Epstein killed himself?

TAPPER: You know that if you vote against an additional $50 billion of funding for operations in Iran, that vote will be cast as you voting against the troops.

CHRIS MURPHY: Come on. The American people do not want this war. If you support the troops, you should be voting against this war.

At Largest ICE Detention Camp, Staff Bet on Detainee Suicides, AP Reports Camp East Montana has received several 911 calls in the span of five months about immigrants trying to harm themselves.

Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.

Only hope really is this mask off era results in another worldwide recoiling in horror from hate and fascism and war

There is a legal provision in immigration law that someone married to a US citizen can stay in the US while there visa is pending. Immigration officials have long recognized it to allow residency during the wait time. The DHS has just stopped following this part of the law.

A lot of people need to give a hard look at what “global policeman” actually indicates for America given what police in America actually do

How we tested and evaluated AI-generated dance videos – The Markup None of the videos produced by the leading AI platforms showed the actual dances we requested.

I planned to share my report on the body cam footage early next week when I learned that a DC news station had obtained some of the footage as a result of my lawsuit and they were going to scoop me. After working on this for a year, I couldn't let that happen. Published 2 mins before they aired :)

Bodycam video contradicts ICE claims in fatal shooting of U.S. citizen Ruben Ray Martinez in Texas Video of last year's fatal shooting of Ruben Ray Martinez obtained by CBS News appears to contradict claims that Martinez was shot by an ICE agent because he "accelerated" and "intentionally ran over"...

DHS claimed "an ICE agent had fired 'defensive shots' into Martinez's vehicle after Martinez 'intentionally ran over' another agent."

But body cam video now "shows that Martinez's vehicle, a blue Ford Fusion, was stationary or going at a very low rate of speed when he was fatally shot."

what is the case for thinking that the duration of the conflict will be up to Trump?

It’s video game brained also, expecting to “win” by being “kinetic” and being confused when “enemies” think

Strategy is fundamentally all about developing a sophisticated theory of the mind of one’s opponent.

With MAGA’s Iran Adventure, guess we’re going to see what a modern war almost totally devoid of anything we’d call “strategy” looks like.

An intriguing local election next Tuesday:

move slow and repair things

I am once again tapping the "support independent, worker-owned, billionaire free news" sign. the most powerful people in the world should not be deciding whether or not we know about this sort of thing. putting Marisa's subscription link below

I think these people are video game brained or it’s soaked up from the people they talk to

Games will mark weapons as “kinetic” vs energy weapon, plasma, etc, as in “this is bullets” and 20 years of that and you get gamers making policy and running comms

This is great analysis but unless I missed it I think it honestly sidesteps another reason - these people are video game brained. Games will mark weapons as “kinetic” vs energy weapon, plasma, etc, as in “this is bullets” and 20 years of that and you get gamers making policy and running comms

Headline from UnHerd: "UK ban on extreme porn is not anti-freedom"

Labelling someone else's consensual sexuality "extreme" is a time-honored way of limiting sexual freedom and policing sexual practice.

It's been repeatedly used by the state to patrol sex workers, queers, trans people, people of color and kinksters.

Always in the name of protecting society.

Anyone else having flashbacks to the Iraq War when we were (correctly) convinced there was no legal basis for invasion & a million of us marched through the streets of London to protest?

Who’d a thunk quarter of a century later they’d have a President who makes Dubya look like Neville Chamberlain?

DOJ Releases Interview With Woman Who Claimed Both Trump and Epstein Sexually Assaulted Her as a Minor The Justice Department released several FBI documents on Thursday describing interviews with a woman who accused President Donald Trump of sexually assaulting her as a minor.

DOJ releases interviews with girl Trump allegedly raped after others found them and pointed out the government unlawfully withheld them.

No, AI is not coming for your developer job, regardless of the nonsense the hype mongers are pushing. (I'm talking just about developer jobs—it obviously impacts other areas.) That's not to say the layoffs aren't real, but rather that the corporations are hiding normal corporate behavior behind

Congress Is Considering Abolishing Your Right to Be Anonymous Online The bipartisan push to remove anonymity from the internet is ushering in an era of unprecedented mass surveillance and censorship.

"Stripping anonymity from the internet would constitute one of the most sweeping rollbacks of civil rights in recent history. It would allow for unprecedented levels of mass surveillance and censorship, endangering the most marginalized members of society."
