Reporting live from Chicago, there’s no “hellscape” I’d rather be in.

ER doc here! There is no such thing as “an ER model” hospital. An ER w/o a hospital is like a bandaid on a bullet hole. What if you need surgery? Cardiac cath? Specialist care? Increased distance means delays, which mean real harms & even deaths. But, also, when hospitals close their ERs close, too…

ANTIFA:

just watched a dozen people ask microsoft copilot experts their most pressing questions and those questions were 90% “how do i turn it off?” and “when i turn it off, is it really off or is it spying on me?”

Cesar Chavez was a civil rights and labor leader who co-founded the National Farm Workers Association.

We have better pay and working conditions today because of him. #NationalHispanicHeritageMonth

This is so dark

Oregon’s National Guard General: They’ll defend America and protect protesters.

That’s leadership we need more of. 🇺🇸

It’s time for soft secession How blue states can use their economic clout to stand up to Trump’s agenda—starting with California.

Well gang, it's happened: OpenAI has built a platform filled exclusively with fake, AI content.

I've been playing with it for a few days, and I think it's safe to say we're basically kissing reality goodbye.

Here's the story: www.npr.org/2025/10/03/n...

And some thoughts 🧵

"This Court has listened carefully to the reasons given by Öztürk’s captors for masking-up and has heard the same reasons advanced by ... ICE. It rejects this testimony as disingenuous, squalid and dishonorable. ICE goes masked for a single reason—to terrorize Americans into quiescence."

Thinking about this piece from 2024 today...

A federal judge responds directly to an anonymous critic in a very novel way:

👇🏽😳

can you imagine sitting in that audience as a three-star flag officer — decades in the service, multiple post-grad degrees and a virtually unequaled level of command expertise — and being forced to watch this dunderheaded dry drunk give an off-brand jordan belfort seminar?

this is, no exaggeration, some of the most loser shit i have ever seen in my life

It’s a great time to be a drug trafficker in America thanks to Trump. Federal drug prosecutions are at their lowest in decades because he shifted law enforcement away from drugs to chase peaceful migrants instead. How’s that “tough on crime”?

Blaming Democrats for a shutdown when you control the House, Senate, and the White House only proves you can't govern.

OMG.

Just shows how this is about projecting fear. Their excessive armament and military-style deployment actually worked against them.

Hoisted upon their own intimidation petard.

the story correctly notes that crime is down in chicago, violent crime is down in chicago, and u.s. citizens, not immigrants, commit most of those crimes

yet these guys are kitted out like they're raiding osama bin laden's compound

There have been 6 mass shootings in the USA over the past 24 hours. The casualty count stands at 41.

Here’s the President of the United States of America.

I realize many people don’t quite get that not every single professor in every single university teaches computer science and might actually be trained in and invested in teaching other things, like let’s say, history? Or poetry.
Or sociology.
It is not our job to teach students how to use AI.
