it was incredibly stupid. stupider than you can imagine. the stupidity of the commentary especially was low key my inspiration for wanting to get into the takes game. me at 14 basically, “i could do better than this shit”

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.

It is really really sinking in for me the degree to which LLMs are the ultimate expression of right wing anti-intellectualism. Its proponents are literally mocking the idea that anyone would ever want to learn anything, know anything, develop any actual skill, or have a thought of their own.

Last night in Riverside, CA, what 6 months ago would’ve been on every new channel, was only on local news. A man drove his vehicle into protesters. At least one woman screamed that her sister had been ran over. /

Congress could regulate this but they won’t. It’s like watching a car accident happening in slow motionn

WATCH: “Holy f*ck — They literally just shot her point blank… I live here…” @lapdhq shoot a woman trying to get to her apartment at point blank range with a rubber bullet. Alexandria’s page (the woman who helps her): www.tiktok.com/@labyrinthlo...

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

We feed you. They hunt us.

They’re doing jobs Americans refuse to do and they’re being hunted ….

BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

California representatives did a check in where migrants were being detained. They found no beds, no food and no water. Children were among the detained.

As the FBI assigns hundreds of additional agents to focus on arresting people for deportation, agents "have been told by supervisors not to document moving resources away from high-priority cases toward immigration-related work." www.cnn.com/2025/05/29/p...

Treating a new Covid strain like a crime and not a public health issue is deranged.

This is the woman who just got promoted to press secretary for the Department of Defense “Proud to be an enemy of globalist Ukraine”

The judge says the administration "unquestionably" violated his earlier order, which stated migrants cannot be deported to a country other than their own without having adequate notice and a chance to object.

LISTEN as GOP Sen. Johnson admits the GOP tax scam will increase the deficit by $4 trillion with the Big Beautiful Bill, and that Medicaid will be cut: "Now what are you going to cut? Medicaid, absolutely" #StopTheBillionaireBailout

No one experiencing the tragedy of a miscarriage should be arrested, much less abandoned in jail for 5 months with a $100k bond. But that’s exactly what happened to Mallori Patrice Strait in Texas. Women, particularly women of color, in this country are no longer allowed dignity even in extreme loss

It’s Mary Anning’s birthday, so time to share @katebeaton.bsky.social’s brilliant cartoon again.

As Joe Biden fights cancer, Trump’s administration is gutting the very science that could save lives. We’re not just losing funding, we’re losing data, progress, and hope. What happens to the research when the labs go dark?

MAKE NOISE ON THIS ONE‼️ They didn’t just deport him—they sent him to CECOT in El Salvador. Agelviz came here legally through the refugee resettlement program—fully vetted. But when he landed in Houston, CBP snatched him over a tattoo: a clock and a rose. No charges. No record. Just a suspicion.

This was just posted by @tbretc.bsky.social on another platform. The Chicago Sun-Times obviously gets ChatGPT to write a ‘summer reads’ feature almost entirely made up of real authors but completely fake books. What are we coming to?

Our large, regional hospital just had to close its pain management clinic because of a 30% drop in MaineCare (Medicaid) reimbursements. That decline is due to a temporary budget issue, but this is exactly the sort of thing that will happen at scale. People with insurance will not be protected.

It's easier to write than it is to let a Large Language Model barf something out and then spend the same amount of time editing as you would have simply writing it in the first place, and still have it be worse than what you would have done on your own

A day late posting but after a lot of hard work I give you the survey overview papers for the EMU & POSSUM ASKAP surveys #EMU survey arxiv.org/abs/2505.08271 and the #POSSUM survey arxiv.org/abs/2505.08272 🔭

Rep. Julie Johnson to Noem: "Are you aware that ICE agent jackets are available on Etsy for $20? Anybody can throw a mask on and run around and terrorize people of color without any regard for the law because your agency does not have proper protocols to make sure your agents are clearly identified"

Ice needs to be abolished

This part

At this point I really need every single American to be at this level of rage. I don’t recognize this country anymore. And he hadn’t even seen the news yet of the mayor being taken and congress members being assaulted by ICE. This is appropriate levels of rage.

This is such an excellent point and media should be reporting it this way. (This is in reference to Miller’s preposterous but still dangerous claim earlier today about the executive branch considering suspending the writ)

BREAKING: The Second Circuit panel unanimously denies DOJ's request to stay the order granting Moshen Mahdawi's release pending his habeas proceedings. The panel notes that granting DOJ's request "would be Mahdawi's re-detention." Opinion: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

i think this shit is an affront to this country and its traditions

Something I hope everyone covers this tomorrow notes is that...the President has no authority whatsoever to make trade deals without congress. None. Not even the pretext of one.

🧪 Data update on NSF grant terminations Including last Friday's terminations, STEM education grants now account for... 54% of terminated NSF grants (751 of 1381) 75% of terminated NSF funding ($590M of $783M) The next generation of scientists is being targeted. #WithoutNSF #SaveNSF

sure would be cool to a non-senile president and a functional national security staff right now www.cnn.com/webview/worl...

This is just so incredibly sad to me. It's not just that people think they are clever for hacking their way through school without work. It's that they don't WANT to learn new things. They don't WANT to improve skills. They don't WANT EDUCATION. nymag.com/intelligence...
