Sickening. Every journalist in America should think deeply about the fact that most American politicians are willing to accept and indeed facilitate the murder of our colleagues.

Resist and fuck things up at every opportunity. But don’t fool yourself that this is the One Big Thing that changes everything. It’s just the next step in a fascist takeover.

I understand why people believe Trump’s invasion of Washington DC is The Event but I think it’s more helpful to understand it as dialing up the heat on the boiling frog. Trump did this in LA. He’ll do it in D.C. with more boldness. And then he’ll do it again. Fascist takeover is never one event.

"So we're getting this information from multiple sources [...] within the mayor's office and within Metro Police Department, that President Trump, come tomorrow, will deploy the National Guard along the streets of DC."

Four Al Jazeera staff, including reporter Anas Al Sharif, were killed in an Israeli attack on a tent for journalists outside the main gate of Gaza's al-Shifa hospital aje.io/onll19

Barely an hour ago, Palestinian journalist Anas Al-Sharif warned us all:

“If this madness doesn’t end, Gaza will be reduced to ruins, its people’s voices silenced, their faces erased — and history will remember you as silent witnesses to a genocide you chose not to stop.”

Israel just killed him.

Goodbye, $165,000 Tech Jobs. Student Coders Seek Work at Chipotle.

"Among college graduates ages 22 to 27, computer science and computer engineering majors are facing some of the highest unemployment rates, 6.1% and 7.5% respectively ...

That is more than double the unemployment rate among recent biology and art history graduates, which is just 3%"

I love when Mark gets like this; a good reminder to the rest of us who he is.

the irony of embedding a resource-guzzling AI “assistant” in a story about climate change lol

what the fuck is this @washingtonpost.com

A government-sanctioned "truth arbiter" will soon arrive at CBS. Their role will be to ensure that journalists do not criticize this Administration or express views that conflict with its agenda.

This is a betrayal—not just of journalistic independence, but of the public trust. 🧵

Infuriating. Have we learned nothing?

International aid agencies hold secret collaboration meeting with the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation The meeting flies in the face of previous public statements from top humanitarian officials describing the GHF as “unacceptable” and “disturbing”.

The New Humanitarian has obtained a copy of the email confirming international aid agencies held a secret collaboration meeting with the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation on Wednesday, 6 August. (Thread)🧵

Are you dumb, white and cruel? Have we got a job for you!

Pete Buttigieg Doubles Down on Comments About the “Fairness” of Trans People in Sports “I think in order to bring people together on this, we also have to take everyone seriously."

Yeah, I'm never voting for Buttigieg even if he's the nominee. This is a bright line for me. You cave on trans issues and lend credence to bigots, it's over. I'm not letting the Dems go down the path of Labour.

The “cilantro soap gene” isn’t real. You just don’t like the taste of cilantro.

this is getting better and better 😆

Millions of people, many being children will die because of what Edward Corristine did at DOGE. I feel no sympathy at all for him.

so far this is "stopped watch" territory but I'll nod politely in Slotkin's direction for getting one right

Article 1, Section 9 & 10 have been removed from the official Govt website on the US Constitution. Among numerous points:
•Section 9 forbids suspending The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus
•Section 10 forbids ex post facto laws

This better be a joke. Ignoring these is full blow dictatorship

This isn't about criminal activity under Texas law. These aren't fugitives from felonies. It is a civil matter. The FBI cannot arrest people for non-criminal conduct. There is no reasonable belief that arresting them would prevent the commission of a federal crime. It's all pro-police state hogwash.

This is a demand for unconstitutional, arbitrary power. There is no offense against the United States here. The FBI has no role to assist the State of Texas in becoming an authoritarian enclave.
