So, @oliverdarcy.bsky.social has gotten the text of the letter sent by 40 news orgs to the White House re its ban on the AP. Signatories range from NBC, Washpost and The Guardian to Fox and Newsmax. www.status.news/p/associated...

REVEALED: we identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, "GlomarResponder," as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.

REJECT THEIR FRAMING: it hasn’t even save $16 billion considering how much those positions contributed to the economy. For example, “In fiscal year 2023, every $1 of NIH funding generated approximately $2.46 of economic activity”. So ask how much money we are losing with these cuts.

if you tell me to wait just a minute i will count aloud to sixty mississippis without breaking eye contact

This is gangsterism, pure and simple.

Union Square anti-Trump rally is on the move.

Big, growing crowd just west of the U.S. Capitol protesting Trump, Musk and DOGE on President’s Day. “Hey Congress, grow a spine,” they shout, gathering for a rally around the reflecting pool.
