Posting this 1967 Birmingham News editorial cartoon for all the people who don't realize that this is how MLK was viewed by a big chunk of white America.

<Thread> I figure I need to explain how extreme and irresponsible is the June 7 Memorandum federalizing the National Guard and authorizing regular armed forces. Those saying anything in support of this action may not realize what they’ve gotten into. (It will also escalate from here.) Preview⤵️

The best thing we can do now is show up for sustained, civil protest. Gift link.

RIP, Sly.

It is completely unlawful for ICE to turn away members of Congress like this. The law could not be more clear; no member of Congress may be denied access to a facility where ICE is detaining someone, and they cannot be required to schedule in advance. Surprise inspections must be surprise.

This highlights the risk posed by credulous application of LLMs without thinking about how they would actually solve a problem.

The Polish foreign minister, a writer and journalist who covered the Soviet war in Afghanistan in the 1980s, clearly knows a thing or two about a patiently-timed response.

Thls is awful.

The White House just dropped an executive order significantly shaking up operations at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the government’s nuclear safety regulator widely regarded as the “gold standard” for global nuclear power safety operations. I used to cover NRC closely. Here are some notes🧵

Remembering the King of Ska Prince Buster who was born on this day in 1938. In the 1960s he was a one man record industry producing and releasing 100s of singles. Here's one that became very influential... youtu.be/BcM_eJEwLh4?... #reggae #reggaesky #vinylsky #musicsky #ska #princebuster

I suspect the adversarial nature of the legal system may make it one where the problems with AI slop is likely to be salient. In non-adversarial systems, like medicine, how visible would this type of incompetence be?

'"It's about race now. It's not about whether you are here legally or not," she said. ' It's always been about privilege.

One might suggest that true masculinity does not require such fastidious care.

For those disputing this, saying something akin to "she'll turn off moderates/independents", I would like to remind you that a thrice-married businessman with a legacy of bankruptcies, a history of misogyny and bigoted remarks, and no government experience got elected ... twice.

Neguse was grilling Jim Jordan so hard this morning over language in the reconciliation bill to restrict federal judges' ability to enforce court penalties that Jordan had to consult with his lawyers

Cato has published my comprehensive review of the ~240 Venezuelans the US government renditioned 2 months ago to Salvador’s notorious prison. We identified FIFTY who came legally, never violated any immigration law, but are imprisoned at the US government’s request and at US taxpayer expense.

On May 18, 1980, Richard Lasher got up early to get some photos at Spirit Lake. Instead, he was forced to stop because of the massive, explosive Mount St. Helens eruption and captured this iconic photo with his own red Ford Pinto on the road. 🧪⚒️ #OTD www.hemmings.com/stories/mt-s...

May 18, 1980 - Mt St Helens erupted in southern Washington state It was the deadliest eruption in US history, killing 57. Fortunately, probably fewer died thanks to warnings from government funded geophysicists monitoring the volcano

The propaganda derived from the intersection of alternative medicine and the anti-vaccine movement is a bottomless pit of science illiteracy.

Anyone who has worked on intelligence matters understands the importance of apolitical analysis and speaking truth to power. In firing intel officials who did just that, Gabbard proved once again that she is unfit for her position.

I love the tool directive and associated tool features *so* much. After spending years typing `poetry run` and, now, `uv run` in Python ... I ain't even bothered by prefixing commands with `go tool`.

Happy 43rd b’day to “Combat Rock” — the iconic LP by @theclash.com that featured “Rock the Casbah”. When writing, Joe Strummer said, “I started to think about what someone had told me .. that you get lashed for owning a disco album in Iran." (Hence the line, “Shareef don’t like it.”)

We live in such strange times

Moments before an immigration court hearing in Mahmoud Khalil's case, our lawyers were abruptly banned from using laptops in the courtroom — but the government's lawyers weren't. No one should be denied the basic tools they need to defend themselves in court.

While I would prefer to post a link to the original source, this is Masha Gessen and the message is very important.

“Virtually all of our regulated pollutants, virtually all of our cleanups, virtually all of our major successes in regulating toxic chemicals were touched by IRIS or the IRIS staff.”
