Political scientists are under-employed.

@hahughes.bsky.social Can you believe these losers? Still causing trouble after all these years!

Yeah. Films are always "projects" constantly requiring fundraising over the life of their development.

Other countries fund this sector very well. Not this one.

This is new levels of absurd though.

That's what it sounds like to me. I've tagged a historian of the WASPs about this.

I hope we will be able to get a copy of the court filing soon.

It may never have been finished. But it's common for documentaries to take several years to be made, even ten years.

And, NEH money would only be supplementary to the full budget of most films. However, the award would be an important signal of the worthiness of the project. That's esp. valuable.

Sorry for sincereposting in the age of irony but @delia.bsky.social is the greatest to ever do it

Judge to enforce pause on feds withholding funds over SNAP data California and other states attribute the USDA's renewed demands for SNAP data to the Trump administration's immigration enforcement efforts.

@andreapitzer.bsky.social "concentration camp regimes in their early stages often make use of large open infrastructure to convert into detention spaces. Dachau was converted from a shuttered factory into a concentration camp in 1933"

"The day of accountability will come": Rep. Delia Ramirez on abolishing and prosecuting DHS The Handbasket spoke with the congresswoman who called out ICE long before it was popular.

NEW — I spoke with Rep. Delia Ramirez (@ramirez.house.gov) about her calling DHS leaders "inheritors of the Klan hood and the slave patrol," the prospect of one day seeing them behind bars, and what it's like to see the public [finally] embrace her long-held dream to abolish ICE.

ChatGPT cuts in action

DOGE allegedly used ChatGPT to identify 1,400 NEH grants it said were DEI. Grants were terminated April 2025, according to a court filing. E.g.

Film: 1873 Colfax massacre
Film: first female pilots flying for U.S. military in WWII
Film: “Untold Story of Jewish Women Slave Labor in the Holocaust"

for context: these youth are facing felony charges for an anti-genocide encampment.

Stanford has been caught on the record WILDLY inflating alleged damages. Stanford claimed >300k in damages while their director admitted in testimony it was <10k.

Stanford vandalism case ends in mistrial after 'hopelessly deadlocked' jury A Santa Clara County judge declared a mistrial Friday in the felony vandalism case of five Stanford University students who had barricaded themselves in the president’s office during a spring 2024 pro...

the trial of 11 Stanford anti genocide activists has ended in mistrial.

Stanford's claims re damages were obliterated by their own facilities director. This case is ridiculous & deeply politicized.

Call DA Rosen (408)299 3099 & insist he drops the charges.

Some additional photos from today

Our reporting uncovered that hundreds of administrative subpoenas have been sent by the Homeland Security Department to Meta, Google, Reddit, and other social media companies. Some of the accounts they have sought to unmask have flight back in court.

Homeland Security Wants Social Media Sites to Expose Anti-ICE Accounts

New story up on the Homeland Security Department’s new tactic: flood social media companies with subpoenas to unmask anonymous accounts that criticize ICE or monitor the movements of ICE agents.

Mike Lawler would rather play political games with our elections than actually protect our democracy. Instead of focusing on real security or real solutions like the threat of Russian disinformation, they push fear and ignore facts to justify policies that will make it harder for Americans to vote.

Thank you for that informed review! :)

I saw it at VIFF and there's very little sports involved 😅 but certainly the highest proportion of bears in attendance at any film I've ever been to

The U.S. Is Launching a Regulatory Assault on Drone Users New restrictions try to shield ICE from being watched from above.

I wrote about MAGA’s war against normal American drone users - and how they’re trying to take control of the skies for themselves.

House passes Save America Act, Trump-backed bill to impose new voting rules Bill that requires proof of citizenship and would limit mail-in voting passes 218-213 but faces uphill battle in Senate

Don’t be fooled by Mike Lawler’s spin – the SAVE Act is a tool for voter suppression.

As someone who led the federal mission to secure the 2024 election at the Cyber Security and Infrastructure Agency (CISA), I know what real election security looks like. This isn’t it.

What the Trump administration is teaching America: anyone who follows the rules is punished

Can’t find the sign to tap, but it bears repeating that, minus the one you’re on, every big social media site in the US is run by a defense contractor or intelligence partner.

More gay sports. (just sayin'!)

6. Kristi Noem is trying to give herself a promotion through a distorted interpretation of the law. DHS has a duty to help maintain critical infrastructure, but no authority to run it. When it comes to elections, it is the states and Congress that have that authority.
