“I Don’t Feel Safe”: Black Memphis Residents Report Harassment by Trump’s Police Task Force A pastor was pulled over for looking lost. A 72-year-old was marched out in his bathrobe due to mistaken identity. Memphis’ mayor welcomed the federal law enforcement surge, but some residents say the...

Phillip Lewis, a 72-year-old cancer patient, said he was woken up and marched outside his home in his robe and underwear before federal officers even checked his ID.

He was not, it turned out, the man they were looking for.

Plus it's fun to play "which will come out first, TASQ, The Doors of Stone, or Winds of Winter?" XD

I'd reference Gravy Trader but idk if anyone remembers Coconut Monkey.

In 1066 minarchist monarch William the Conquerer defeated Communist Harold Godwinson at the Battle of Hastings, ending Godwinson’s failing Marxist policy of having names with Æ in them

Putin jailed his primary opponent for "illegal protests", which made him ineligible to be on the ballot.

Don't know why I thought of that.

It's incredibly normal to feel uncomfortable being near people who are different from you. And your job as a human being is to feel a little ashamed of that, grow the fuck up, and get over it.

If you are in crisis, please call, text, or chat with the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at 988, or contact the Crisis Text Line by texting TALK to 741741.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

One can only hope they're not putting more yacht babies out there.

JR as CEO at Unity handled a gripe about stock options being locked up post IPO by saying no one was impacted more by it than him.

He said this two days after closing on a $32.3 million mansion.

These people don't understand anything below "yacht that shoots smaller yachts out of cannons" level.

The Absurd Prosecution of a Man Who Posted a Charlie Kirk Meme Larry Bushart Jr. posted trolling memes on a Facebook thread about a vigil for Kirk. He’s been in a Tennessee jail ever since.

In the wake of Charlie Kirk's death, a TN sheriff had a 61-yr-old man arrested for posting a meme on Facebook, which the sheriff absurdly construed as a threat. It was pretty clearly bullshit but I dug into the case using FB & public records and now it looks even worse. My latest @theintercept.com:

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

Any Reagan Foundation staff, and any lawyers who help them, should be named and humiliated into the Stone Age, made socially and legally radioactive, if they try any bullshit.

Live Updates: Trump Cuts Off Trade Talks With Canada

Last month, playing tape of Charlie Kirk's words was enough to get people fired for the new category of anti-Kirkist hate speech.

This month, playing tape of Ronald Reagan's words is enough to spark a presidential tantrum and diplomatic breakdown.

It wasn't fake. It was edited. But Reagan really did spend a five-minute speech – an April 25, 1987, national radio address that the Reagan Library has published on YouTube – to rail against tariffs. It was a full-throated expression of support for free and fair trade.

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

More than a third have failed so far, four officials told me, impeding the agency’s plan to hire, train, and deploy 10,000 deportation officers by January. To pass, recruits must do 15 push-ups and 32 sit-ups, and run 1.5 miles in 14 minutes. “It’s pathetic,” one career ICE official told me, adding that before now, a typical class of 40 recruits had only a couple of candidates fail, because the screening process was more rigorous.

Love this. Superbly done. Please send this far and wide. @donwinslow.bsky.social

Every one of these delicate news outlets breathlessly decried Obama saying teabaggers in response to people who wore tri corner hats festooned with dangling teabags.

Now they can't say the president posted a video of him dumping his diaper all over protesters while wearing a crown.

Cowards.

Republicans say they like fascism and Democrats say that they are against it. The truth is more complicated.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

BREAKING from PP

We found immigration agents have held more than 170 *citizens*

The govt doesn't track citizens held. So we did. We tallied:

Nearly 20 kids, two w/ cancer

More than 20 citizens held for day or more, incommunicado
