This creates a social dynamic where trust cannot exist, which is a problem for any ideology built on the idea social trust is possible.

Yeah, this is important. The only church the Trump administration is interested in protecting is the one with an ICE pastor.

I used to tell people that if they hated what Hollywood was putting out, they had a lot more power than I thought they did. Hollywood’s whole raison d’etre is to entertain people, to give them what they want.

Now, though, these morons like Zaslav and Ellison either don’t know or don’t give a shit.

People simply saying it wouldn't work or he wouldn't do it...even if he tries, even if a little bit happens you do realize the chaos this would cause.

This is what people-centered business looks like!

Dunno if there's a smarter way to get the best people to work at your company than have Trump denounce you.

A Federalism Bottleneck? The Subnational Levers Constraining ICE

New from @splawinski.bsky.social at Can We Still Govern: To stymie ICE, look at the sources of its power.

That includes money but also co-operative 287(g) agreements with state and local govts.

Blocking and reversing those agreements weakens ICE capacity. 🧵

Columbia President with NEW details:

5 DHS agents entered a residency with no warrant.

They said they were police looking for a missing kid.
Security camera even captures them showing pictures of the "kid."

A campus officer asked for a warrant & their boss.

They ignored him & took the student.

happy 14th anniversary to all who observe

A useful analogy I’ve heard is between cognitive bias and optical illusions. Squares A & B in the famous Adelson Checkerboard Illusion are exactly the same shade of grey. You can confirm this by cutting them away from or covering the surrounding imagery. BUT YOU STILL SEE THE ILLUSION.

My Trade Secrets today. The Trump tariff refunds saga is blackly comic. About 20% of tariffs levied on Chinese exporters are paid directly by those exporters. So they get a refund windfall, having largely passed the tariff costs on to US co.s & consumers. I know, right?

He is saying what Mike Johnson believes but won’t say. The Republican majority is more important to them than disavowing a sexual predator boss causing the suicide of staffer.

Just to let you know, the Kobo link doesn't work! This (www.kobo.com/it/en/ebook/...) is the correct link (for my country) searching by title, and I just got myself a neat copy! Thank you SO MUCH for the kind offer for us poor librophiles! Looking forward to reading @wtalabi.bsky.social !

Yall should read this book. It is SO GOOD

No shit.

some of the olympic women including maddie mastro have been reposting this if you’re curious about the vibe in response to the US men’s little display

Fool me once eh? Also this is me! #usa #hockey #politics #olympics

Publicly supporting women is nice, but what really matters is what men do behind closed doors. What matters is how they hold each other accountable.

The men’s hockey team shouldn’t get a pass because they were in the locker room—that’s where women need their support the most.

To the extent Biden erred, it was the degree to which he treated Netanyahu like a good faith actor. Bibi repaid him for this by repeatedly knifing him.

That is wholly different than "Biden loves killing people, he just has a personal hatred for the Palestinians" which is a vile lie.

Love this so much!

Heartbreaking! 💔

Shame on anyone who told women they were silly to worry that, post-Dobbs, birth control would be next.

As a daily pusher of a wheelchair, trust me, this is a very big deal

Like the @posters-madness.bsky.social Mutual Aid Telethon!!

Scott has spent the last 15 years of his life working in the highest echelons of government, as FL Governor (from 2011-2019) and as a U.S. Senator (since 2019), during which time he has undermined every effort to use the tools of governance to improve the public sphere.

You Do Not Have To Hand It To Tucker Carlson The antisemitic Nazi is not a pro-Palestinian ally

Wrote about the progressive praise for Tucker Carlson and why it is bad.

Carlson wants less money to Israel so we can murder brown people at home. He is an antisemitic ethnonationalist rather than a philosemitic one. substack.com/home/post/p-...

I'm not entirely sure how they did it, but they've completely cleared the streets around my office in Midtown #NYC.

They paid a lot of people good wages to do the job effectively, thank you for coming to my socialism talk

Flavor flav is wearing a blue basketball jersey, and a blue snoopy cap. his signature chains in team USA colors. He’s pointing to camera Right image: the women’s hockey team lines up to accept their gold medals A text bubble reads “but they accepted my invitation to celebrate in Vegas”

Excerpt from the daily mail 'People are so negative out there and they are just trying to find a reason to put people down and make something out of almost nothing. 'Our relationship with them, over the course of being in the Athletes' Village, I think we are so tight with their group. 'After we won the gold medal, we were in the cafeteria at 3.30am in the morning with them and we go from there, pack our bags and we're on the bus. 'People are so negative about things. I think everyone in that locker room knows how much we support them, how proud we are of them and we know the same way we feel about them, they feel about us.'

Asked by the Daily Mail whether they are excited for their trip to meet Trump, Hughes added: 'Yeah, we're excited. Everything is so political. We're athletes. 'We're so proud to represent the US and when you get the chance to go to White House and meet the President, we're proud to be Americans and that's so patriotic. 'No matter what your views are, we're super excited to go to the White House tomorrow and be a part of that.'
