Alonso is going to do crime any day now.

What is wrong with Lance Stroll?? WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO MY BEAUTIFUL BOY?!

shocked to hear that “...AI chatbots have had no significant impact on earnings or recorded hours in any occupation" based on a study of 25,000 workers at 7000 companies by the National Bureau of Economic Research www.nber.org/papers/w33777 fortune.com/2025/05/18/a...

I got that news push and am allegedly taking a vacation day, but truly just want to stare vacantly into the middle distance. Unserious fucking party, unserious system, unserious country. My god.

Cuomo and his team are already setting up the excuses he’ll (continue) to use when he sexually harasses City Hall staff. He hasn’t learned a fucking thing, and he doesn’t care. Don’t let him get away with it.

Advice from your friendly neighborhood defense attorney: if you have pets please make sure someone has access to them if something happens to you! Whether it's live-in family, friend with keys, a partner, whoever! Shit happens (and sometimes that shit is getting arrested) and we want your pet safe!

100%. Unmask the gestapo.

HAPPENING NOW: Hundreds of protesters chant “Free our Mayor!” outside the DHS building in Newark, NJ where Mayor Ras Baraka is being held (Video: @spydermonkeywatch.bsky.social)

It’s important to pay attention to the fact that there are simultaneous efforts to criminalize mask-wearing by citizens and to standardize the wearing of face-obscuring gaiters by people purporting to be law enforcement.

Folks, this wasn't a protest. It was elected officials trying to do oversight of a PRIVATE ICE PRISON. The ICE Gestapo apparently went for the Mayor after receiving a phone call.

My view of ICE goons hiding their identity is that these guys are very very aware that what they are doing is evil.

I mean this sincerely, if there a reason the governor can’t use the national guard to go get the mayor being detained by brown shirts right now? I understand concerns about escalating violence, but that seems…appropriate

WHY IS HE BEING HELD AT AN ICE FIELD OFFICE

As mayor of Newark, Ras Baraka has a responsibility to ensure that facilities operating in the city are adhering to laws that protect the safety and wellbeing of occupants and residents.

Ras Baraka, the Mayor of Newark NJ, has been arrested by ICE for the fully Constitutional act of peacefully protesting.

it would be cool if one national democratic leader took this moment to secure the release of the fucking mayor of newark new jersey

look at this shit, that's magnificent

Always this.

I am telling everyone who ranks this person that you are ranking Donald Trump. Period.

A small but potentially decisive slice of American elites seem to think it is possible to have an authoritarian state regarding criticism of Israel and a free liberal democratic society on everything else. I think it is increasingly clear this is untrue. It is a package deal.

I clicked through, was not prepared, and did not read the article. Nailed it

I could see falling for this one. Short thread.

Watching F1 in Spanish, matching my new special interest with my oldest special interest, what a delight

Throwing a military parade as a birthday present for dear leader is the sort of thing that ought to instinctively offend a patriot in a democracy.

I have more than 3 friends, can I have a billion dollars?

Defund the police was a bad slogan, which is why it took massive expenditures of political and financial capital along with the deployment of widespread state violence to suppress it, and also why everyone knows it and we're still talking about it five years later

Quick reminder: the executive cannot legally “deport” a citizen. The executive can decide to kidnap citizens and engage in human trafficking, though - evidently.

My best guess is that Sanders was told by his team that he was going to be a top 10 pick and fucked around in the interviews, teams were never as high on him as the pundits were, when word got around that he had an attitude everyone got out 100%

At this point "Abolish ICE and prosecute every officer who helped with deportations" is the moderate path

Aside from the fact that what the judge did appears to be totally 100% legal on its face, there’s no reason to assume that any ICE agent is acting under legitimate color of law until you see a *judicial* warrant.

It’s getting tantalizingly plausible that Sanders goes to Dallas at pick 44, and it just feels spiritually correct.

Any moderately competent historian could have told you this is always where it was going to lead

Santina, I pine for you :(

I swear everyone I know has been at Citifield this week and I am, frankly, SICK with jealousy.

I feel like we need to keep saying this because it’s so insane: This is a legal U.S. resident who has been detained for over a month now for his political opinions.
