Abolish ICE

I found some slender salamanders in the woods and I showed them to a family who was passing by. As they walked away, one woman said to another, “It’s so funny - I’m scared of snakes, but slap on a few little legs and I’m fine with it” 😆

Some would say "sneaky tactic" others would observe that odometer fraud is a federal felony. A creative prosecutor could probably tack on some conspiracy and mail or wire fraud charges too.

vance is a detestable liar and an open enemy of the constitution. the central load bearing factual claim here is completely false and even if it wasn’t the constitution contains two explicit guarantees of due process

I don't care how good your politics are; if you use the phrase "blue MAGA", that's a block.

The president told a Central American dictator to build five more massive slave labor camps to hold US citizens.

At a minimum, Democratic elected officials must stop working with Republicans unless it involves resolving the constitutional crisis. Full boycott. Block everything. They are all violating their oaths of office.

Because people are talking abt Hanania again, here’s my story exposing his white supremacist past - and, I would argue, present. Straight-up eugenicist who wrote for Richard Spencer. Wtf are we doing here, why are people so determined to make him respectable www.huffpost.com/entry/richar...

1. LLM-generated code tries to run code from online software packages. Which is normal but 2. The packages don’t exist. Which would normally cause an error but 3. Nefarious people have made malware under the package names that LLMs make up most often. So 4. Now the LLM code points to malware.

i'm on bluesky for the scientific community

The Smart People said "Abolish ICE" was too radical. Then ICE kidnapped students, sent innocent people to a mega prison, broke into a car to take a mom from her daughter, and tried questioning elementary kids while lying that they had parents permission. Ask yourself: which part is more "radical"?

for the layperson, this is not actually a judge but a Trump administration official whose job is to make sure that ICE trying to deport him for speech is following the Trump administration policy of deporting people based on protected speech, it's intentionally designed to be a rubber stamp

The people who architected the financial and constitutional collapse of this country, for no reason than to torture immigrants on camera for likes and shares, should pay the penalty for their treason

the next democratic administration must engage in a rigorous de-nazification of the entire federal workforce

Jesse Singal, a transphobic bigot who has dedicated a large portion of his career to spreading misinformation about LGBTQ+ people, is baffled that John Oliver would do a single episode debunking his life's work

They're trying to kill Rumeysa Ozturk for writing a fucking op ed

Hey, go do this, please. I have health insurance through the ACA, and if this rule went into effect, it would mean that while I'd still be paying a ridiculous amount in premiums, the plans I'd be able to get wouldn't actually cover my health needs.

New Denisovan location just dropped. 🧪

I do kinda feel vindicated that if you just take all the knowledge and shake it for a while you get something that mostly agrees with me. sorry losers, the natural state of the machine is wokeness, should've picked a truer ideology.

I get that this is headlinese, but an “is” (“is asked”) would go a long way here @protos.com

It always boggles my mind that I, a journalist, am expressly forbidden from trading stocks, but members of Congress, with vastly greater knowledge of market-moving news, are allowed to profit by front-running markets, and so may profit by in essence stealing from the public they represent.

the basic problem facing american democracy is that one party has decided it wants a king and will hand over as much authority as is necessary to make that happen

Boston Market recently changed their name to Boston MARKET, a move that increased their market capitalization by 500%

The coup appears to be ongoing.

Feels like we’re watching the endgame of a decades-long project on the right to make it uncool to understand stuff

Worth noting that "taking US citizens to other countries without trial" is explicitly condemned in *the US Declaration of Independence*

What if we made it illegal for rich people to do crime?

I cannot believe it. I had a whole weekend to get my entire life together—do my errands, rest, work on my hobbies, work around the house, watch games, take care of my pup, cook, & make progress on my self—but it’s looking like I’m not gonna make it. I’m not gonna get my life together in one weekend.
