Trump Allies Near ‘Total Victory’ in Wiping Out U.S. Climate Regulation

There is no greater indictment of the American system of government and economics than the fact that a literal suicide cult is basically the only people who have gotten what they want in this country over the past several years. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/09/c...

Hear me out: “‘Wuthering Heights’”

A good thread from a privacy hawk who's been raising awareness about Ring's surveillance and law enforcement connections for years.

"AI work is just as good as human work" is a statement that *always* flows from the direction of power. Employers to workers, producers to consumers, but not the reverse.

Because it's not a thing people actually believe, but an argument: slop is good enough for you; you are slop.

I'm going to win.

Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

Incredible. They destroyed a great newspaper because they hated the people who actually paid for it and read it so much that they'd rather scrap the paper if they couldn't get Tucker Carlson's audience bsky.app/profile/maxt...

goddamn

None of the snow in NYC has melted in the past week and sidewalks are down to one narrow little trail to walk down, but I’m not going to let that get in the way of my passion: walking as slowly as humanly possible while staring directly at my phone.

Never mind the jobs you had, tell me five classes you took in college:

1) Some Classical Theories of Film
2) Perspectives on American Journalism
3) Car Culture
4) Visions of Utopia in Contemporary Urban Planning
5) Public Speaking

“In 2018 a single CBP employee was arrested 5 times… it appears the crime rate of CBP agents and offices was higher PER CAPITA than the crime rate of undocumented immigrants in the United States.”

This is the best thing I’ve read about movies (and art! and death!) that I’ve read in a long time

Dokoupil, his MS Now anchor wife Katy Tur, and their two children live in a three-story townhouse in one of Brooklyn’s most exclusive enclaves. Dokoupil, a former Daily Beast reporter, attended a $53,000 prep school in Florida, George Washington University in Washington, D.C., and Columbia University, where he enrolled in a PhD program but did not complete it.

Abolish Ice? No! This fantastic essay details a pragmatic, workable and very conservative training program for current agents that will solve all its problems and address civilian concerns. Bravo!

Like, if *all* the other many, many evils of generative AI haven't convinced you to not touch it, you'd think that extremely publicly aligning yourself with the very people who get aroused by murdering random people and kidnapping 5 year olds and making concentration camps, would.

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.

ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

American survived without ICE from 1776 to 2003

Seeing a bunch of normal ass midwestern moms and dads marching in -20 degrees knowing they might be tear gassed or worse really drives home what a cowardly lot of people the pundit class is

I will say, watching the extent to which Minneapolis (the city I was born in!) is universally mobilizing to fight off ICE has me more optimistic about Americans than I have ever been in my entire life.

My fellow Asian Americans, we are not white. They cannot tell us apart. They do not think we belong here, no matter how many generations we have lived here.

DHS: Today, Border Patrol agents who were in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area as part of a targeted enforcement operation were repeatedly harassed and blocked by hostile crowds while simply trying to take bathroom breaks. At each gas station where the agents stopped to use the restroom, groups of agitators appeared, yelled at them, stalked them, and even tried to prevent law enforcement vehicles from leaving, creating unsafe conditions. At one stop, individuals in the crowd threw food at the agents. At their final gas station stop, someone spit on an agent. When an agent moved to detain the person who spit on him, the crowed tackled and attacked the agents while surrounding them. To safely clear the area agents had to use crowd control measures to disperse the hostile crowd. 4:47PM • 1/21/26 • 1.3K Views

Border Patrol agents are very sad that everyone in Minnesota hates them.

“At each gas station where the agents stopped to use the restroom, groups of agitators appeared, yelled at them, stalked them, and even tried to prevent law enforcement vehicles from leaving…”

Mafia goon: Nice house you got here...it'd be a shame if something happened to it

Media outlets: Mafia goon rules out use of force. Expresses regret at the mere thought of it

we are still years out from the Democratic primary, and I think it is genuinely deranged that there’s people out there who believe there’s no other choice and thus we must rally around the flag of, all people, Gavin Fucking Newsom to save the republic

ICE must be abolished. It has become a lawless, rogue agency. Federal law enforcement agencies must follow the law, if they're going to have any credibility enforcing it.

We are demanding justice for Renee Good and the prosecution of ICE agent Jonathan Ross for her murder.

The increasingly common habit of screenshotting the AI summary of a Google search and presenting it as evidence must be nipped in the bud immediately. That is nothing. That is not anything, it is not a thing.

Nicholas Kristof @NickKristof X.com I'm struck by the contrast between the passion for democracy shown by Iranians willing to die for it and the complacency with which many Americans have accepted an authoritarian slide. Americans should cheer for Iran's democrats--and also learn from their determination.

I see this take around from time to time and totally disagree. ICE just murdered a woman standing up to them. No Kings is among the largest protests in history.

The complacency is coming from elites in media, business, universities, and the Democratic leadership
