She is not “likely dead in the eyes of the law.” She is dead both legally & in the sense her body cannot even perform basic functions like breathing or sustaining a heartbeat without invasive intervention. They are animating a corpse to let cells multiply in it. It is horror worse than Frankenstein.

This is exactly why I press Democrats to push back. The media might do this kind of fact-checking on its own, but when a prominent Democrat makes the case for them, it's much more likely they'll run a piece like this. Well done, @amyklobuchar.com and @sltrib.com

Gavin Newsom vetoed a data broker privacy bill that our legislature passed last year that would have allowed Californians to opt out of all data brokers with a single click.

I know a lot of people just don't really know much about foreign cities, but please imagine how it would go if someone told all of NYC to evacuate "immediately," and then add two million more people to that scenario

Very cool that several people who used to yell at me in DMs for being too mean to Facebook are now running some sort of extralegal posse informally deputized by the actual United States Army.

Essential point in this exchange with @willsommer.bsky.social: Trump-Miller have to target noncriminals for deportation because it's the only way to get the numbers they need to try for "full-scale ethnic change." Terror is central to this. Will is very good here: newrepublic.com/article/1968...

This is legitimately terrifying. Almost 10 million people live within the city limits of Tehran with another almost 7 million additional people in the metro area. There are 8 million people in NYC. How the FUCK would we all be able to "evacuate" with no notice??? THIS IS EVIL. PERIOD.

I rarely go to Twitter and when I do I make sure to keep it quick. Part of the reason is that the place is an open sewer and I don’t miss the stench at all. But another part is that I invariably see someone I know who’s still posting there and just lose a lot of respect for them.

This is obviously ridiculous but it is kind of bleakly funny that this advice more or less has the same beats as advice about what to do if you encounter a bear in the woods, just in terms of the unknowability of the other party. "Make yourself appear larger and the cop will usually run away."

What I learned today is that the @nytopinion.nytimes.com doesn’t believe in young people of color in leadership. Time and time again people tout “seniority” and “experience”. 75 years ago, there were no women of color elected in NY. Where is “seniority” or “experience” to come from for us?
