Awww you guys - the Acting Director of ICE is really upset that we keep accurately refering them the American Gestapo and calling out their kidnappings. Keep up the good work everyone!!!

I’ve said it before but it is embarrassing that so many intellectuals spent years in small factional battles over the propriety of calling this fascism.

ICE agents better start reading up on the Nuremberg trials. Because when we get to the other side of this, and we will, "I was just following orders" ain't gonna cut it.

Like seriously. I know to a lot of people it sounded like a far-left rallying cry before, but if we get through this, we need to Abolish ICE much like a democratizing Germany got rid of the Gestapo or the collapsing USSR got rid of the KGB

We can’t expect Gen Z or Gen Alpha not to think this is normal. This guy will have been President for 8 years of their short lives. They will be justified to expect national elections to come with spoils. Democrats will have to remember this and not just expect people to know better in 2028.

This IS exactly what happens in game dev. When something ships it is probably just barely holding everything together. Any "fix" will come with unintended consequences. Hence code freeze.

Getting out of DC isn’t just about location, it’s a state of mind. The future of the party needs to be mapped by people like me who grew up, lived, and worked in normal America. The highly informed policy wonks from the DC bubble are not the people to save us.

People act like you have to find video of someone going “2,3,4,5 I declare a genocide” before you can accuse them of supporting it

We all know the nazi salute is terrible. The salute launched the Tesla Takedown protests. But since then Musk is responsible for mass murder. That needs to be stressed so that people know what they're facing and can form a meaningful opposition. It isn't mentioned because it's unpalatable.

A lot of this can be laid at the feet of evangelical teaching that it is not appropriate for a woman to be in a position of authority of a man. it's such bullshit and has no place in 21st century political discourse, but here we are

The Big Fucked Up Bill, is NOT a spending bill. It’s a government restructuring bill, that consolidates power in the executive, defunds critical services to the point of absurdity, removes the power of our courts to enforce the law and dramatically curtails voting rights. It’s Project 2025

Americans under 25 have no idea how anomalous and deranged it is for the news to report obsessively on the persona and psychology of the executive with respect to matters of policy and governance. This is not even remotely normal.

We don’t need to back off the American Gestapo and we don’t need to respect its agents. People exercising state violence are not entitled to anonymity. Nor are the people directing the state violence.

If this is the direction, then I see no reason for states that receive less from the federal government than they contribute to continue to do so.

Those who have been around creative tech long enough will remember that having one tool that can do everything is both wonderful and incredibly disruptive when it inevitably hits end of life without an obvious successor Keep your creative pipelines diverse.

Banks are aiming to issue cryptocurrency. Lawmakers just put a line in the GENIUS Act saying when a bank issuing crypto goes bankrupt, crypto investors get paid before regular depositors. In other words: your savings account becomes crypto’s bailout fund. www.levernews.com/cryptos-new-...

One of the greatest deceptions of our time is the false narrative that we should be more concerned about a poor person misusing the welfare system or an immigrant being here illegally than we are about the ultra wealthy abusing the system and cruel people having unchecked power over all of us.

I know everyone is loving the Musk schadenfreude but we have to stay on the alert for the possibility that Musk is going to turn his sights to those centrist dem conventions going on and further entrench transphobia and anti-immigrant sentiment. And they would easily work with him.

Fitzgerald was so real writing “They were careless people - they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together and let other people clean up the mess they had made.” So many messes they won’t be cleaning

Rehabilitation for musk should be a nonstarter for virtually every American. Dude pillaged our government to the point that it will not recover in my life, if ever. He has set humanity back centuries. He wants to be liked? Let him try again in his next life, after begging for forgiveness in this one

The reason generative AI is so popular with wannabe creatives is best illustrated by something every pro writer has encountered: getting pitched an idea by someone saying "You write it and we'll split the profits!" because they think the idea is what has value, not the writing. The opposite is true.
