I wonder what would happen if people put AirTags on #ICE vehicles and posted it somewhere so people could track it? @aoc.bsky.social @piperformissouri.bsky.social @sanders.senate.gov @democrats.org

THREAD: The Trump administration's DOJ has removed a study from the NIJ website that found that immigrants, and particularly undocumented immigrants, commit crimes at significantly lower rates than U.S. citizens. The study is at odds with the Trump regime's propaganda about immigrants & crime. (1)

@snipe.lol I would be interested in learning about software engineering jobs in Europe, I’m a senior software engineer with 8 years of experience

This continues to be the biggest story in the country: DOGE has already squandered half a trillion dollars in 6 weeks. Not billion. half a trillion, $500 billion talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/irs-p...

60 Minutes found no criminal record for 75% of the Venezuelan migrants the U.S. sent to a mega-prison in El Salvador. https://cbsn.ws/4lC4Vp5

Winds of change? We can hope.

Hey @tferris.bsky.social what sort of hat do you use recommend for a bald guy who still wants to be stylish when wearing a sport coat?

Kamala too

Ok, now the lawyers oppose the Trump administration and its lawlessness

Be safe and smart out there.

Hey @piperformissouri.bsky.social and @aoc.bsky.social I think we need an app that lets a person donate an amount to their reps’ opponent every time Trump does something horrible, & it notifies the rep by tweet, so when Trump bullies someone, Josh Hawley gets hundreds of tweets about the donations

Just deleted my @washingtonpost.com account, as well as the app from my phone. I’m sad about this, as a long time reader. I’m moving to @theguardian.com and @bbcbreaking-bot.bsky.social

Who is working with the AirBnB API?

Is there a good replacement for the Twitter API as source of linguistic data for #NLP projects? #LangSky

We must all stand together, I support @aoc.bsky.social ✊🏽

It’s time to lock Elon Musk up.

Hey. I'm a journalist in Atlanta. I write for The Guardian and Rolling Stone. If you work for the federal government, and want to connect in person to discuss the illegal and unconstitutional activities you are seeing inside your agency, send me a note via Signal. They can't kill us all.

It has now officially been confirmed. We have reached the singularity

Truth is the first casualty

".. On right-wing online forums that served as a staging ground for Jan. 6, dozens of posts call for the 'traitors' involved in prosecuting the Capitol rioters to be brought to justice. 'Execute them,' wrote one anonymous user." @wsj.com www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

Remember y’all, we’re dealing with Maga a little differently here. 1) Do not engage! Most important is to NOT give them what they want so they get bored & leave. Their attention span is short. 2) If offensive, report. This site actually has rules they enforce. 3) Block. Remove them completely.

You guys need to see this and take it in… Wise words from someone who is a target. And he’s been listening.

@piperformissouri.bsky.social hey id like to DM an idea for pushing back on billionaires, can I bend your ear a moment?

RIP "Our research shows that the primary reason for the failure of the school to educate black children...[is that]...the stereotype the teacher already has about black children is triggered into action by the teacher's unconscious reaction to the child's speech and behavior" -William Labov, 1979

"Stop asking why schools don’t have bullet proof glass & metal detectors at all the doors. Ask why schools HAVE to. That’s the question that needs to be asked”

Land doesn’t vote. Stop pretending it does.

Supreme Court 18-year term limit bill should be just the beginning: — 13 justices — 7 clerks per justice — single 18-year term — binding code of ethics with punishments all the way up to impeachment — full investigation of corrupt gifts to Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, et al.

They’re never, ever going to learn. Never.

Today was a bad day for #dictators in #Russia and #Syria, it remains to be seen if it is a good day and for whom.

American media sucks

It's a good time to re-introduce myself to new followers and give an update! I'm unexpectedly on the job market after abrupt layoffs at AWS and am looking for a new opportunity on an education-focused engineering team. I have 24 years' experience as a software engineer, dev advocate, and team lead

The argument against regulation is always the same: “It stifles growth and jobs.” But just as tax cuts for corporations have not trickled down, regulatory cuts have not benefited most people. Big companies enjoy bigger profits. Working people bear the costs.

Hell yeah, I earned it

Dear Ma and Pa MAGA, So, your rapist, business fraud, traitor felon-elect has appointed a guy accused of groping his babysitter to HHS, a guy accused of rape to DOD…

Call your senators every single day. Do not let up. Use @resist.bot too. Keep up the pressure on these cabinet picks, do not stop.

If you don’t think this is exactly what we’re up against, then you haven’t been paying attention.

Hey all, which companies have fully #remote IT / Software Engineering roles? Help me compile a list and I’ll publish it when done.

if only more white people did this. instead of getting huffy about a term, learn what it means and why it exists.
