And we don’t have to guess what they mean, because we can read Project 2025 ourselves and see that β€œpornography” is shorthand for LGBTQ people existing publicly. That’s what they’re working to ban, censor, and restrict online under the guise of β€œprotecting” kids from porn

When I lived in Chicago, if you didn’t respect dibs, you could expect a broken windshield. And everyone would say you deserved it.

IME, the biggest β€œaha” moment was when my team was working with our designer who said β€œI’m trying to decide between three different options” and we said β€œwe can build all three, within minutes, deploy each of them into a sandbox environment, and then you can kick the tires on live code and choose.”

Yeah, I’m afraid this might be correct. Opus is pretty impressive, and as long as you’re using it with appropriate safeguards (famous last words), it enables some powerful workflows we didn’t used to be able to do.

AOC: We are going to have to reckon, as a country, with this time. And I hope that that reckoning includes prosecution of people who are involved with the lawbreaking and human rights violations they are knowingly engaging in right now.

A big miss in terms of the absolute number itself. A pretty small miss in terms of, like, we all understand what she’s saying.

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: β€œHe might have thought β€˜how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said β€˜this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

It was never about fairness or competitive advantagesβ€”those arguments collapse under the slightest scrutiny. It was always about banning trans people from participating in public life.

A retired Minneapolis couple who had guns pointed at them by ICE in a church parking lot.

"They were obviously not trained at all. I've known many police officers in my life. These people were right off the streets."

"They had the professional demeanor of criminals."

Yes and: Because when you get angry about why it seem impossible to build a sustainable life in today’s world, the powers that be want you to direct your anger at powerless people rather than at themselves, who made the world this way and profit off its inequality.

ICE murdered RenΓ©e Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.

We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

I swear my wife used to be a football fan. But when I told her tonight that the Seahawks were going to the Super Bowl, she asked me β€œwho’s their quarterback? Drew Brees?” 🫠
