ICE can deport green card holders for engaging in and/or inciting terrorism. Trump will likely use this to justify the arrest of Mahmoud Khalil without a warrant They've chosen him as their first victim because the Dems are unlikely to defend him They're testing the water. They will do this again

the article also has a crucial detail: Starlink is NOT FedRAMP compliant. Verizon is. this shouldn't even be a question to be plugging unvetted devices into safety-critical government networks. anyone who's ever suffered through FedRAMP knows exactly how much work goes into it. what an insult.

governments should spend money, literally all their fucking money. on taking care of the people from whom they got the money. on building cool shit for the people from whom they got the money to use, like highways and public works. this is real easy how can these people be so bad at this

once again I have to invoke the specter of Ronald Wilson Reagan, who is in Hell now. under Reagan, the term "government spending" was effectively demonized. fuck you, Reaganite ghouls! spending money, on its people and their needs, is the function of government! public works are good! say so!

Y'all this is REALLY BAD. They disappeared a Palestinian activist green card holder who is married to a US citizen. He could literally be ANYWHERE 🌍 right now! ICE claims they cancelled his green card, something no judge has ruled on yet. Columbia colluded w/ ICE to make this happen.

I don't care how you feel about campus anti-Israel protests, or about antisemitism on campus. Fighting antisemitism cannot mean disappearing foreign citizens in the US on green cards for Wrongthink. It just cannot. Not in my name. Never. www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news...

some of y'all are pretending that the Democratic Party doesn't have money to send out an 8 page zine to all of the people on their fucking lists laying out EXACTLY what's happening at the Federal level. The thing they don't want to do is to tell their voters what THEY ARE DOING ABOUT IT. Nothing.

Their job is to identify American soldiers killed in combat and Trump has told them to stand down and stop their work. "Forensic genealogists who help identify U.S. soldiers killed in combat were told to pause their efforts..." www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

I post one gym pic with an arm flex. Post about men’s confused and harmful reactions to visibility muscular / athletic women. Now my mentions are in meltdown about trans women in sports. Deflecting from the actual issue - men’s insecurities and urge to control what women should be or look like.

There is a much bigger headline and story here. The corruption goes far deeper and involves Musk, Tesla, Trump, and half the Russian oligarchs and Silicon Valley. Major alarms should be blaring. All the details in the thread below.

In college, Laura Ingraham went to a Gay Students meeting. The next day, she published the names of everyone in attendance in the school newspaper, at a time when being outed was dangerous. So, yeah, appointing a menace to gay people is a GREAT selection to lead our nation's [checks notes] arts.

There is no purpose for putting Trans MTF prisoners in men’s prisons other than pure cruelty. Trump 2.0 is evil incarnate. There are a lot of important issues, but this is one hill Dems should die on.

There were already people in the government "reducing waste, fraud and abuse." Trump fired them and replaced them with one unelected asshole who's canceling programs he personally doesn't like and awarding himself government contracts

moral panics re "woke," "political correctness," etc were designed to make: 1. counter-cultural commitments to relational egalitarianism & mutual consideration seem like stodgy, censorious conformism; 2. degenerate commitments to bigotry & complacency seem like high-minded tolerance & defiance

this is a Theophite thesis I’m riffing on here but I think that the conflation of consumer choices with civic choices in both directions has been kind of a disaster. “supporting” a business by transacting with it is really very different from supporting a politician with your vote.

Gavin Newsom has the exact appearance and energy of the mayor in an 80s crime film who winds up at the end of the movie saying “Good detective work, Sergeant Bolan … too good” and then pulling a pistol. This is also who he actually is down to his bones.

Good headline framing from Techcrunch, CNN: "SpaceX Starship breaks up over Bahamas...." Bad headline framing from Bloomberg: "Elon Musk's Starship breaks up over Bahamas....." Think we can all safely agree that Musk has not been doing much at SpaceX (and that we need to hold SpaceX accountable)

Democracy is burning, and we need sites like Bluesky more than ever. And Senator Durbin wants to repeal 230, which would massively stifle the ability of sites like Bluesky to exist, while massively empowering X and Meta. Why? It seems that someone in his office doesn't understand 230.

This was on an episode of the podcast Gavin Newsom started. Gov. Gavin Newsom started this podcast, and invited Charlie Kirk on - so Charlie Kirk could spew fascism against trans people's basic ability to continue existing. Gavin Newsom is opening a Nazi bar, so he can serve Nazis at his Nazi bar.
