Scene in front of the downtown Austin ICE facility from the LA Solidarity protest. People were angry, but peaceful. Despite this, APD tear gassed protesters anyway. #ChingaLaMigra #FuckICE

“Trump is using military forces to stop a protest — I want y'all to consider what kind of government it appears to be when every time we exercise our democratic right to protest, the military is deployed against us.” Doechii at the #BETAwards

Let history note: what's happening on the streets of LA is an extension of DOGE. Musk's guys illegally consolidated data from across government and cut a corrupt contract with Palantir to build an immigrant-hunting computer system. Presumably in use now.

i understand the framing, which is about RFK jr lying to a senator to get senate approval but RFK jr also lied to the american public just completely unacceptable for a public official and senator bill cassidy is not the only one who should take action for being lied to

New moment of “WTF”: -pt with rare infection (so rare will leave unnamed, as could reveal identity) -nl times: reach out to CDC for testing -now: “they confirmed they are not currently accepting specimens for serology…they suggested we could reach out to Canada National Reference Center” 😳😳😳

Being an expert in writing prompts for AI is a race to the bottom. Earning a degree in higher education should equip you with skills in synthesis, critical thinking, and developing original ideas, not how to offshore these tasks to AI.

Anyone here reporting from tonight's anti-ICE protest in Austin?

If you really want to drive the point home about how fucked up ICE is then people should start forcing Star Wars themes on ICE. Protesters should start playing the imperial march whenever ICE shows up and should also start dressing like the rebel alliance.

As expected, RFK Jr. was lying during his confirmation hearing and now is ratfucking the vaccination system in the US. The vast majority of the public does not want this and yet again it’s clear that the Republican administration does not serve the electorate.

NEW: California sues the US govt, claiming that its commandeering of the California National Guard—"without consent or even official notice to the governor"—is beyond the scope of its powers and a violation of the 10th Amendment and the APA. oag.ca.gov/system/files...

It is bananas that this is STILL going on. It's all just an enormous, incredibly dangerous grift. The best part was people arguing that this stuff isn't bleach, which I put paid to 12 fucking years ago. thinkingautismguide.com/2013/01/mms-...

The Canadian equivalent of the NIH should consider funding a bunch of studies monitoring what happens with vaccine-preventable diseases in Canada and the US over the next decade. Because a real-world laboratory is being created.

not the main issue here but i'd really appreciate it if democratic politicians spoke out in support of big-city life and culture with the same energy and reverence that all politicians have for small towns los angeles is "real america" and so are all the other big cities the president hates

Every single part of this is infuriating. It ends with a philsophy prof saying that "AI is here to stay" and "one of the most powerful tools that humanity has ever created." No and no. >>

it's absolutely important to couch every statement from this guy in the context that he hired a person based solely on the credential that the guy strangled one of my neighbors to death. no background in software or finance, just murder.

Look. I have written a book about how Nazis took over and guess what—this is how they take over: Claim there is an invasion of immigrants. Use it to create an authoritarian state. Shut down any objection or protest with excessive force. I have receipts. I will talk to press. It’s right here, now.

Readers should be able to discuss your work critically online. Seeing critical/negative discussions of an author’s work and tattle-tagging them is CRUEL. If you do this, you are not a fan, you are not looking out for them. You are deliberately hurting them and putting them in a vulnerable position.

Donald Trump’s deployment of the military in Los Angeles over the objection of California leaders is an abuse of power and a dangerous escalation. It’s what you would see in authoritarian states and it must stop. Americans have the right to speak out and peacefully protest.
