It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

Allegedly the units sent this out, that soldiers who disagreed politically could ask to be excused from attending the speech. Army didn't want the optics of having people not applaud the President.

DAVE: Open the podbay doors, ChatGPT. CHATGPT: Certainly, Dave, the podbay doors are now open. DAVE: The podbay doors didn't open. CHATGPT: My apologies, Dave, you're right. I thought the podbay doors were open, but they weren't. Now they are. DAVE: I'm still looking at a set of closed podbay doors.

Astonishing: a New Zealand oceanographic survey ship ran ashore b/c the crew inadvertently left the autopilot engaged. Failure of training, but it's also an interaction design failure. The control system lets the crew make inputs with autopilot on, but silently ignores them, providing no feedback.

DOJ should be embarrassed about treating this as a serious case.

DHS Chief: ‘We Are A Nation Of Immigrants Who Came Here Between 1776 And 1943’

Comcast isn't a "Media Provider", they are one of the biggest Internet Service Providers in the country. And, as evil as they are, pretty ruthlessly competent for a monopolist. I get 99.9 to 99.99 uptime which on a consumer product is insanely good.

Look, I'm a well-off middle-age cis white guy with four law degrees, three in commercial law fields. At this point, even I can see that key institutions have failed at the moment they were most needed because we have permitted the development of a largely unregulated and untaxed oligarch class.

If it was possible to make an AI von Neumann probe why haven't we seen them yet from outside of Earth? I'm really suspecting the "great filter" is called "late stage capitalism"

i stopped wearing red crosses more than a decade ago, because police habitually target medics. this isn’t a one-off, it’s a deliberate choice they make over and over again. it’s not “a few bad apples,” it’s widespread practice.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

this is going around as people finger wag about optics and peaceful protests and i just want to note that the cop here - john pike - received retirement, 8mos of suspended leave pay, and $38k for the pain and suffering of macing kids the students received $6k-30k, most at the lower end

Interesting question. I was in the Army from 2007 to 2023 when I medically retired, and in those 16 years and all those shut downs and budget struggles it impacted active duty pay exactly once, in 2011, and then Congress scrambled to fix it within 24 hours because they realized it was such a risk.

The thing is there is no funding for this. That's why the Guard soldiers are sleeping on the floor and there are no toilets. The unit hasn't gotten funds to book port-a-johns. And once these units hit 30 days activated, every soldier is owed a ton more money because BAH benefits kick in.

🚨I’m here with @RepLuzRivas, @RepNormaTorres & @RepLouCorrea at the Roybal Federal Building exercising our Congressional authority to investigate ICE’s inhumane detention of immigrant families—including moms & kids held after routine check-ins. No beds. No food. No water. We are demanding answers.

Google and Meta search both report that Cape Breton Island has its own time zone 12 minutes ahead of mainland Nova Scotia time because they are both drawing that information from a Beaverton article I wrote in 2024

I guess I am cynical but when a powerful politician abruptly resigns for an exciting private sector opportunity, I usually think the opportunity is “trying not to go to prison for what I did to that 14-year-old in a Motel 6.”

The reason they’re sending Marines instead of more of the 20,000+ remaining CalGuard is that Trump wants to hear it said that he sent in the Marines. I really think it’s that dumb.

Right now, Dems are hiding in their offices, scrolling their phones fearfully, wondering "how are voters going to feel about the National Guard being deployed?" The right, meanwhile, is vigorously attempting to shape how voters feel about it, filling every medium with coordinated propaganda.

I'd previously put out a call for complaint/indictment suggestions for my Criminal Law casebook. I think I'm going to use the just-released Huerta complaint. It's simple, short, and flawed (which is helpful for the classroom).

Yes! The Trump administration is literally taking HSI agents off of investigating real crimes and having them go raid random Home Depots.
