Fun fact - when my dad's car got stolen, we filed a police report and got a call about two weeks later that it had been picked up by a tow truck. The cops didn't find the car - it had just been illegally parked and left. After paying to get it out, we realized that it was full of stuff.

Cannot express enough how much what happened at that meeting three weeks ago has changed things on the ground. Courthouse arrests started within days, then check-in arrests. Worksite raids, once rare, began happening daily. Detention has skyrocketed over capacity. People are going missing.

Not true. I see you're a luxury watch dealer. I'm also interested in watches. Let me show you how free and easy migration has allowed you to earn a living. 🧵

7k is not great! But Q4 was only 13K and Q1 for anyone is usually lower. And the “10k unsold” was inventory error, not real. Current CT inventory is 3.3K. TL;DR: we need Q2 numbers. If also < 10K, then we can say yes, definite slump. I think we’ll see that! But this is not that. Yet.

Whether it's Obama wearing a tan suit to a press conference or Trump using the military to attack American citizens, both presidents crossed some dangerous red lines for democracy.

This is very specifically illegal, not in like an interpretive way, it is literally written in black and white in the statute that reps must be let in to perform oversight

ICE crossed a line in LA

Here are some texts I got from an immigration lawyer friend of mine. Shared with permission. Some of the bleakest shit I’ve ever heard.

That liberal hotbed the Cato Institute says the Big Beautiful Bill will massively increase the deficit in large part because of the immigration crackdown.

Literally two weeks ago Stephen Miller screamed at ICE leadership for not raiding Home Depots.

There was enough circumstantial evidence before the crash that an alert and aware driver should have been slowing down. FSD drove like an inattentive human and killed someone.

Musk has deleted his tweet accusing Trump of being in the Epstein files: x.com/elonmusk/sta... He also deleted a follow-up that said "Mark this post for the future. The truth will come out."

Pretty sure this should tell you all you need to know about the veracity of the DOJ's charges against Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

I've been using Privacy Badger for years. Highly recommend, it's usually the first or second plugin I get on a fresh install of Firefox (the other is uBlock Origin).

"Snelling said at some point, one officer discharged their weapon. During that encounter, police said, Rivera was shot in the chest." who can know how Rivera was killed it is a mystery shrouded in mist

In amongst all the excitement I fear many have missed this outstanding bit of trolling by Friedrich Merz. The Chancellor gifted Trump a gilded framed copy of his grandfather’s German birth certificate... reminding Americans that Trump is both the child and grandchild of migrants.

Yunseo Chung, the Columbia student and green-card holder who has been in hiding since ICE tried to disappear her in March, wins sweeping order preventing her arrest and detention. She becomes the first of these pro-Palestinian advocates to circumvent the Trump administration policy to deport them.

There’s also Allen.ai and their OLMo models. Same deal.

90 deals in 90 days. Countries lining up to make deals. Etc.

big distinction here between “does the USG need space x?” (Y) and “does space x need elon musk?” (N), and USG has many, many ways to make that second question excruciating for space x if they choose to

I'm a goddamn futuremancer

The Polish foreign minister, a writer and journalist who covered the Soviet war in Afghanistan in the 1980s, clearly knows a thing or two about a patiently-timed response.

so many "do it, you coward" moments in this twitter explosion i legit have decision paralysis around which ones to post so just pick the one that calls to you the most

Got my first real ink today. Asa-gao iroshizuku from Pilot. Going into a cheap Hongdian fountain pen that came with a converter. Packaging makes it look like fancy cologne and I am here for it.

oh

but i was told there'd be millions of new jobs for americans in new banana factories because of tariffs

To be fair, this is how we were told things worked now after Citizen's United: spend lots of money, get political favors. Maybe there should be a law about this kind of thing.

give it time, we've got some hours left on the clock
