Jake Tapper ought to be roundly mocked for just how false and bad this comparison is. He really tried to compare Biden getting older to Nixon’s direct involvement in the coverup of crimes committed for his benefit. Dozens of people went to prison!

SCOOP: Elon Musk will not be fully exiting DOGE. In fact, federal workers from at least six agencies tell WIRED that DOGE-style work is escalating in their departments, and President Trump himself said in a press conference today that “Elon's really not leaving.”

Israel tells people it's safe to go and get aid from a site Israel itself set up. Then, they kill 31 people and injure 170 who are traveling to that site to get some food. Starve people, tease them with scraps of food, then kill some along the way. It's terrorism.

How bad will it be? Catastrophic. Proposed cuts to #NSF, #NIH, and #NASA will set the US R&D landscape back 25 yrs+, cause economic and job loss now, and undermine innovations to come. But, this is the WH's proposed budget. Speak up now before it is too late. (inflation adjusted $-s below)

What so so so many people in tech and media forget (or ignore because they simply don’t care) is that not only is it impossible to discuss something with “nuance” when the other side is literally out to destroy you, but trying to “nuance” something clear cut is capitulating to those advocating harm

We need to have a conversation about how just as Zionists weaponize claims about antisemitism for their own ends and right wingers use antisemitism as a shield for fascism, there’s a slice of the left that uses Israel’s crimes against humanity as a convenient cover for airing out their antisemitism

Every day that this horror continues, I think of Omar El Akkad's tweet: "One day, when it’s safe, when there’s no personal downside to calling a thing what it is, when it’s too late to hold anyone accountable, everyone will have always been against this."

This is the same shit that’s happening in Huntington Beach, and the goal is to make being a member of the LGBTQ+ community illegal. We need to fight against it wherever it pops up.

1. Most of the USA's problems are caused by its racism. 2. DEI builds better products, especially in tech, and grows larger, more profitable, more sustainable businesses. 3. A million obscure technology topics that no one cares about enough to assemble 20 people in a room to hear me rant on.🤷🏿‍♂️

“Abolish ICE” is now the moderate compromise position. The new demand should be: - prosecute ICE leadership - blackball ICE employees from ever working in government again - dissolve DHS - mandatory uniform for all fed LEOs is “Barney Fife”-core - drown the 1033 program in a bathtub
