Amazing thread.

This is insane. Republicans have inserted language into the budget reconciliation bill that would ban states from regulating AI in any capacity for 10 years. from @404media.co www.404media.co/republicans-...

Troubling

This is the kind of bravery we need. Truly. This is unimaginably brave to be doing this right now.

Companies also preferred regulation to tort liability.

I am old enough to remember when a movie character said "PAPERS PLEASE" it was a universally understood signifier of an evil regime

the fundamental problem with these people (not jonathan) is that they don’t seem to believe in anything. if you’re willing to sacrifice one of the foundational rights of constitutional government on the altar of “buh this might not be popular” then what won’t you sacrifice?

This guy's face should become infamous.

You can tell who the Good Guys are because they're the ones smashing a car window to drag a mother away from her child while wearing ski masks.

Everyone needs to be very clear: this bill legalizes child molestation by Republican elected and appointed officials. It allows for child sexual assault/abuse by GOP officials under the cover of law. All while scapegoating transgender people.

Imagine trying to deport someone for their "expected beliefs"

they finally did it. they invented a machine that can't run doom.

Maybe everyone is liquidating their bond holdings because they are just so excited to buy stocks tomorrow 🥹.

Kidnapping. Capturing a person against their will without due process is called kidnapping. Transporting them to another country without due process is called human trafficking. A squalid extrajudicial prison for people found guilty of no crime is called a concentration camp.

I'm not kidding that any Dem who wants to run in 2028 should get out ahead of this and loudly say if El Salvador puts American citizens in Trump's gulag we'll fucking invade.

“Thank you again. Thank you again. Won’t forget it.”

Yes SCOTUS repudiated the Trump/Stephen Miller position that AEA deportees are entitled to no process at all But requiring such “notice as will allow them to actually seek habeas relief in the proper venue before such removal occurs" is woefully insufficient Nevertheless—habeas here we come

I guess I shouldn't be surprised that a SCOTUS that ruled once that Trump was a king would rule that way again, but damn if I'm not heartbroken.

Just in case anyone needs some help when choosing which airlines to avoid.

Boat derangement syndrome

Put another way, assessing the damage to democracy by Facebook and Craiglist.

Karma.

Israel is officially breaking the ceasefire

Not a profound or nuanced observation, obviously, but I am really struggling with how fucking evil everything is every day. Everything I love and admire about this stupid and amazing country just constantly getting vandalized and brutalized by people who hate all those things. Not digging it.

How can a country that does this host the World Cup next year? No person traveling to the US is safe. bsky.app/profile/news...

Larry waited for hours to voice his support for an anti trans bill in Wisconsin. While outside, he listened for a long time, to trans folks & parents of trans kids. He changed his mind. Be like Larry.

Cool so what happens if GOP attach a national abortion ban to a CR? You'll vote for that too? 🚮
