looks like he took a meeting with a guy who hangs out around playgrounds and complained about wanting to film but said he needs his hands free

Huge implications from this: Microsoft cut off the email of the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, because of his work on Israel www.nytimes.com/2025/06/20/t...

> New nonpublic data from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) indicate that the government is primarily detaining individuals with no criminal convictions of any kind. www.cato.org/blog/65-peop...

EXCLUSIVE: A judge was lobbying for a seat on the federal bench. After he sided with the president in a defamation case, Donald Trump gave him one.

It should surprise no one that a billionaire censoring employees, firing all the liberals, and importing a News Corp hack to force AI into everything has functionally killed one of the most storied journalistic institutions in our culture. Just titanic mismanagement, pure waste in pursuit of ego.

Green cards, following the rules, aren’t a defense. And intentionally denying her access to her lawyers … they’ll be doing random street checks of citizenship within a year, minimum.

This week, WIRED has been helping readers (that’s you!) learn how to win a fight, from Tesla Takedown to out-trolling trolls. We also put together a zine that collects some of the most helpful tidbits in a handy format you can print, fold, and share. Download here: www.wired.com/story/downlo...

A Virginia guy hunted a Latino man, cornered him, questioned him, and then shot him and his friend, because he assumed the guy was an undocumented immigrant. He was radicalized by Fox News etc. and, of course, Trump. www.wric.com/news/local-n...

NEW: The child sex abuse material trade on X is spiraling out of control… and a key child safety partner just cut X off after they say to company stopped paying them www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-ne...

ICE agent points gun directly at the head of innocent civilian—just for taking picture of his license plate. He drew his gun with one hand—while fumbling to open the car door with the other. The "agent" did not seem to be aware someone else was already recording his vehicle. Pasadena, California.

Our Autocracy Handbook is made even more timely by this horrifying account of the deportation of an Australian writer. So depressing that we need to think about this stuff. www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

We did it, gang! Good job everyone!

The first achievement by J.D. Vance that has ever impressed me: #2 most-blocked Bluesky account in just 24 hours on the platform

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

Rage-inducing.

We really need to stop talking about this as some kind of looming threat rather than a process well underway. It’s not “close.” You have arrived at your destination. The order has been delivered.

🚨THIS STORY IS INSANE. The Trump administration shipped a guy to be imprisoned in El Salvador without trial, in conditions worse than we treat even convicted serial killers, because he was in a picture standing next to someone with tattoos. LITERALLY NO OTHER EVIDENCE.

Breaking: The Trevor Project received a stop-work order last night on its contract with the national 988 suicide prevention hotline. The Trump administration is eliminating the option for LGBTQ callers to the hotline to press 3 and connect with someone who specializes in LGBTQ mental health.

Use Signal. We promise, no AI clutter, and no surveillance ads, whatever the rest of the industry does. <3

This is one of the most sick, twisted, depraved massacres yet. Israel fired tank shells into a crowd of starving people waiting for food, killing over 50. They're not even denying it.

I shit you not, people

If the President can federalize a state's guard without consent of the governor for any reason, and it's not judicially reviewable, then it no longer exists. It's something else, but it's not the Guard. California should shut it down and stand up a state level guard.

If you, like Casey Newton, use LLMs for fact-checking, that should be disclosed directly beneath your byline

Hi everyone I was denied entry, detained, and deported from the USA over the last 48 hours because of my reporting on the Columbia student protests I arrived back in Melbourne hours ago and had my phone handed back to me upon landing

Nobody is rioting. Nobody is breaking any laws. These are cops in my city of Las Vegas just assaulting and arresting anyone on Fremont Street who looks at them. This is fascism.

Seagull drinks coffee, steals mug of man installing anti-bird spikes www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Excuse me what?

They launched a coup, suffered no consequences for it, won back power, and have used the power to pardon everyone involved while remaking the country through violence and intimidation. It’s just ridiculous to talk about the political violence of yelling at ICE agents within that context.

#nokings #savannah And here’s a lady getting arrested for wearing a medical mask

Nothing says "250th Army Celebration" like arresting a group of veterans… www.yahoo.com/news/police-...

@governorwalz.mn.gov: "The road to authoritarianism is littered with people telling you you're overreacting."

I thought there was a decision tree in the "should I arrest them if I'm being filmed" rubric that said something about the optics of arresting a guy with a walker for constitutionally protected activity.

A joint project of @freedom.press and @eff.org: Journalists have been asking us about how to prepare devices for travel. We put together a checklist of things you can do: freedom.press/digisec/blog...

Oh look. A global far right power grab.

Seven Steps to Stop ICE crimethinc.com/zines/seven-... This flier outlines seven projects that you can undertake with your community to build a combative movement capable of resisting the violent attacks of ICE and other federal mercenaries. Please print and distribute!

"Nonviolent protests are twice as likely to succeed as armed conflicts – and those engaging a threshold of 3.5% of the population have never failed to bring about change." www.bbc.com/future/artic...

Trump has imposed more sanctions on the International Criminal Court than Russia
