A gentle reminder that this is all too much to hold. If your heart is heavy, you’re not alone. The only way thru is to care for yourself & others. Reach out friends to check in. Go in the garden. Remember there is still beauty. Stand next to a big tree rooted and draw strength. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

ICE agents are complaining that every time they go out (unmasked/in unmarked cars) protesters are dumping pounds of glitter on them. So people can identify them as ICE for days afterward. Time to buy glitter . . .

Harriet Tubman #quilt by my Mom, Vera P. Hall, who makes quilts celebrating Black people who fought for their own freedom. This seems to be the crowd favorite of the “We Didn’t Wait for Freedom” series. Happy #Juneteenth #quilting

I keep saying this, but a fundamental problem with this moment is that the two other branches are rolling over and playing dead, and the founders just did not think that people would do that! www.lawdork.com/p/trump-is-s...

the destruction of chattel slavery is one of the great accomplishments in our nation's history and the reason conservatives hate celebrating it is because doing so legitimizes the black counter-narrative of the united states

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

The license plate thing is actually something I’d been having questions about (were they using government plate, for example). Knowing that there’s actually none at all makes it much worse.

I’m struck by how many people have walked away from important positions to try and warn us that catastrophe is nigh and how little impact sounding the alarm has had on the public or the Congress.

The NYT was cited in the Supreme Court ruling used to strip trans people of healthcare. This is EXACTLY WHY the “just asking questions” crowd of centrist edgelord journalists are dangerous. They launder transphobia through faux neutral “debate” and act like it’s intellectual curiosity

Those of you making lists of Democrats that DOJ has arrested (usually via Kristi Noem's goons), I beg of you not to forget CA SEIU President David Huerta. The pattern is the same, and in that case they charged a conspiracy which may be an effort to get inside SEIU's private records.

Also CBO: There an odd convention that requires we don't count how much interest payments will rise due to the amount we owe rising. (Weird, I know.) TL; DR Add all the macro effects and not only do they fail to offset the $2.4 trillion deficit, they raise it to $3.4 trillion.

Only 35% of people in Poland say they have confidence in Donald Trump to do the right thing in world affairs compared to 75% who had confidence in Joe Biden a year ago. That was the third-largest decline among the 24 countries surveyed by the Pew Research Center.

Grateful that Brad Lander is using his experience to highlight the biggest outrage; that ICE is re-arresting people who have been 100% compliant with ICE and the courts, with the goal of unlawfully stripping them of a court hearing to juice Stephen Miller's deportation numbers.

I'm glad for the trolling, but verily, this is repeating the 2016 strategy of spreading his propaganda and assuming people will be disgusted by it. It's still spreading his propaganda!

The answer is in ICE's selection of targets: * Democratic politicians in public * Immigrants attending court hearings, at work, or at schools None of those people will be armed. On the flipside, ICE is scrupulously avoiding raids on cartel affiliates, drug dealing sites, etc. They might be armed.

One thing we know is that #MSM is failing utterly to hold the Trump regime to public accounting. Not so for the brave journos and researchers over at #ProPublica. Check out their #TrumpCrimes tracker & consider reporting back for the cause. zurl.co/2agqd #StandUpForScience here zurl.co/5zDpx
