I am so sad about Fetterman. I had such high hopes for him. There’s always going to be sellouts for the party, but this one really upsets me.

I hate that the US is daily dragging people off to be disappeared. I hate the fact that our so-called leaders lie constantly. I hate that they celebrate the murder of people on tiny boats. I hate their sneering and entitlement. I hate that they don't care if people die. This isn't "great again".

Republicans are completely full of it on healthcare And it becomes more obvious every time they talk about it.

New in PN: Republicans are totally full of it on healthcare.

It becomes more obvious every time they talk about it. And it's a big reason the shutdown is turning out to be such a disaster for them.

Generative AI has access to a small slice of human knowledge | Aeon Essays Huge swathes of human knowledge are missing from the internet. By definition, generative AI is shockingly ignorant too

β€œMaybe the intelligence we most need is the capacity to see beyond the hierarchies that determine which knowledge counts. Without that foundation, regardless of the hundreds of billions we pour into developing superintelligence, we’ll keep erasing knowledge systems that took generations to develop.”

Hi Sally. When Weiss published a supposed expose on the death of George Floyd, a veteran criminal justice reporter showed in deep detail that the piece was not just wrong but filled with falsehoods and misrepresentations. Weiss did not retract the piece. What do you think of that?

someone on the Internet who really wants to convince you to shine lasers at manned aircraft as a protest tactic β€œbecause they did it in Chile in 2019” is either:

1. a fascist fed, or,

2. so terminally stupid that they have become functionally indistinguishable from one

The journalist repeatedly asks Andrew Cuomo to comment on Trump’s political manipulation of the DOJ. The last 10 seconds are the clincher. β€œIf you won’t condemn the President here, in this situation, how can a New Yorker believe you’ll actually stand up to him?” β€œCondemn him for what?”said Cuomo.πŸ˜‘

I understand that American psychoanalysts and therapists are noticing Trump-related anxiety since the stsrt of his second incumbency. The same was observed amongst Germans, even in the early stages of the Third Reich, in which suppressed or unexpressed fears were also played out in their dreams.

Everett 13-year-old arrested by ICE and sent to Virginia detention facility
By Marcela Rodrigues Globe Staff,Updated October 12, 2025, 44 minutes ago

A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia.
A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia.
A 13-year-old boy was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Everett after an interaction with members of the Everett Police Department and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia, according to his mother and immigration lawyer Andrew Lattarulo.

The boy’s mother, Josiele Berto, was called to pick her son up from the Everett Police Department on Thursday, the day he was arrested. After waiting for about an hour and a half, she was told her son was taken by ICE, Berto told the Globe in a phone interview.

β€œMy world collapsed,” Berto said in Portuguese.

From the police department, the boy was taken to ICE’s holding facility in Burlington on Thursday evening, where he spent a night before being transferred by car to the Northwestern Regional Juvenile Detention Center in Winchester, Va., on Friday morning, his mother said. The juvenile facility is more than 500 miles away from Everett.

The boy is a 7th-grader at Albert N. Parlin School in Everett, his mother said. The teen and his family, who are Brazilian nationals, have a pending asylum case and are authorized to work legally in the United States, Lattarulo said.

ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA.

According the article, the Everett Police still have not told the parents why they arrested their 13-year-old child, nor why they handed him over to ICE while his parents waited in the station to pick him up.

Hey @jaketapper.bsky.social, I'm no expert on cognitive illnesses, but it feels a bit detached from reality for a sitting POTUS to forget that he was in power during an attack on the U.S. Capitol, doesn't it? Do you know anyone in journalism with experience covering dementia-like symptoms?
