Damn‼️ Federal agents blew a door off for this? Federal agents blasted their way into an LA home where Jenny Ramirez lives with her boyfriend and two kids. She heard the blast while checking on her 6-year-old, with her 1-year-old in her arms. Ramirez says everyone in the home is a U.S. citizen. 🧵

I’m choked up seeing this—it’s shameful. Iranian refugees got snatched by “immigration agents” dressed like bounty hunters in West LA’s Sawtelle neighborhood. We’re really about to send them back to a country we just bombed? A regime known for jailing, torturing, and killing its own people?

Re Zohran’s grocery store plans- the government already runs discount grocery stores ALL OVER THE WORLD. They are called commissaries and they are on every US military base. No one has ever had a problem with their existence

Honestly the way wildly influential segments of US society -not just the billionaires- have a deranged view of the policy spectrum ["communist"???] is an under-studied factor in this ongoing debacle. They don't watch Fox News. Are they all on X? Is it the NYT/WP? 1/ via @drjlhazelton.bsky.social

I had a great chat with AGI for President on AI consciousness, and it's societal implications. We get into blockchain, the role of AI in education, the future of work, and algorithmic bias. youtu.be/GnXp6Rxewcc?...

Honestly, even the Chinese and Russians never made me do this to get a visa. Even the North Koreans, who made me hand over my phone for the duration of my visit, never made this demand.

It is kind of darkly funny that Donald looked the American people in the eye and said “You know what? You people aren’t even worth the effort of selling the war,” and we looked him right back and said “Yes, you are absolutely right.”

Makary makes many claims here that sound like "common sense" but are problematic. 1st he says FDA's reg reqs have made the US "less competitive in the global race for new drugs and treatments." I'm not aware of any sponsor planning to skip the US market. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Worth reading in full. The argument to remove/de-resource controls "because we can do it w/AI" is widespread & influential but unsupported (we can't (yet (maybe)). In companies this is self-sabotage. In public policy it can be very damaging. via @stevejoffe.bsky.social @doritreiss.bsky.social

I'm floored. This is ONE stretch of ONE side of the street in deep red, small town Knoxville, TN today. This is a city that Trump won in 2024 by 20+ points. The scope of these protests are massive—American from both sides of the aisle are pissed. There will be no kings.
