These member testimonials make clear what’s at stake. After a disappointing last session at the bargaining table, we hope they show up to our final bargaining session ready to seriously engage and deliver a fair contract. ✊

Welcome to your "stop buying avocado toast" moment, Zoomers.

“Welcome back! We’re getting ready to bargain a new contract” We’re still so proud of the first contract we ratified in 2023 after three long years of bargaining with Hearst. Now, the Hearst Magazines Media Union is stronger than ever and ready to return to the bargaining table to win more for our 500+ members. Stay tuned for updates!

Well gang, it's happened: OpenAI has built a platform filled exclusively with fake, AI content.

I've been playing with it for a few days, and I think it's safe to say we're basically kissing reality goodbye.

And some thoughts 🧵

A U.S. veteran spoke out against his wrongful arrest by ICE. Now he’s being accused of assault George Retes Jr. wrote an op-ed about his arrest during the Glass House ICE raid in July. He says DHS is now spreading falsehoods against him for speaking out.

“The family stressed that the agents knew-- the son had told them-- that Chop [the dog] was put in the bathroom for their safety and that the agents opened the door, let Chop out and shot him.”

Been that way for years. I filed a benign FOIA request with the FBI when my grandfather passed away in 2018 for his records (he was an agent). The FBI says I'll have those records around 2028.

To answer your question though, you can file a FOIA with the DHS but the odds of you getting an answer in a timely manner are slim.

I'd start searching government contracts (SAM.gov) under the DHS. The purchase of the vehicles and probably the liveries should be there.

Being generous to this administration's claim about "defending" the southern border, I just love the optics of a Raptor being redirected from *checks map* the desert bordering Mexico, for Washington, D.C. This is straight up performative nonsense.

I wish so bad we were governed by serious people.

Future and Past Collide—Confusingly, Excitingly—at the World's Best Car Meet Chinese EVs, Hot Hyundais, and the future of the auto show all share one thing in common: the Goodwood Festival of Speed.

1. Trump's megabill will slash nutrition assistance for poor families, cause 17 million people to lose their health insurance, and add over $3 trillion to the deficit -- all to finance tax cuts for the rich.

IN THIS THREAD, I WILL LIST THE COMPANIES THAT PUBLICLY SUPPORTED THIS BILL.

Here are the Declaration of Independence’s grievances against King George III. Many apply to Trump. It's uncanny.

Remember how the Declaration of Independence cataloged all the harms King George III had visited upon the American colonists?

Trump has committed many of those same violations in just a few months. @davidcorn.bsky.social & @timothypmurphy.bsky.social lay it out: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

I think Rivian might be closest with its software suite, but Xiaomi has the advantage of having built connected home devices for years. They're sorta like a Samsung/Google hybrid that decided to get into cars.

You’ll Never Believe All the Stuff That Fits In Our 2025 BMW M2 If there’s been one constant over the past six months or so with our BMW M2 it is the sports car’s seriously impressive practicality.

I'm continually shocked by how practical this little sports coupe can be.
