Glad to see the judge cutting this down to the bone.

I can't find any news article reporting a declaration of "state of emergency" by Aurora. Is this a lie? The closest thing to that is a judge ordering the closure of an apartment complex which had been seized by the Tren de Aragua gang. But I don't think that's the same thing?

OK - now at Alien Enemies Act hearing in SDNY on continuing injunction. US has asked to decertify the class - Judge Hellerstein denies it. Inner City Press will live skeet, thread below

When I left the Washington Post in 2023, my colleagues and I were worried AI would hoover up our work and enable "zombies" to churn out stories based on our reporting and writing styles. Today WaPo announced a partnership with OpenAI. And here it is: Zombie Gillian Brockell. I DID NOT WRITE THIS.

From @reuters.com: Three more federal prosecutors who worked on the now-torpedoed corruption case against New York Mayor Eric Adams have quit "after they said the Justice Department wrongfully pressured them to admit to wrongdoing." www.reuters.com/world/us/thr...

Eliminating due process in order to imprison and deport people based on ethnic background and political views: famously good for Jews

A generation of infants are being born HIV+ today who should have been born HIV-free because one of the principal propagandists of AI bullshit in the world dismantled PEPFAR and USAID.

this is basically just a big plan to impoverish the united states

Putin is messing with Witkoff's head who, in turn, will mess with Trump's head. Putin has zero intention of ever abandoning Russia's claim to ALL of Ukraine, let alone the 4 or 5 regions that the US is considering 'gifting' to Russia. Trump will, of course, fall for it.

Mr. Owens told his staff in a memo that “over the past months, it has become clear that I would not be allowed to run the show as I have always run it, to make independent decisions based on what was right for ‘60 Minutes,’ right for the audience.” www.nytimes.com/2025/04/22/b...

#ProudBlue #DemsUnited #DemVoice1 Bust not Boom Due to Trump's tariff trade war 350 workers are soon to be laid off by Mack Truck in PA's Trump loving Lehigh Valley. This just a taste of what's coming to areas like the long suffering Lehigh Valley with decades of losses in manufacturing.

Canada's Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre did congratulate Donald Trump on his election victory, and he has frequently railed against ideology he describes as "woke," but this quote spreading online is a fake. factcheck.afp.com/doc.afp.com....

the first amendment is under attack and corporate media is not going to defend it

Larry David writing a NYT guest essay as a man having dinner with Hitler, just to roast Bill Maher as a smug, self-important clown, is the stuff of comedy legend. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/21/o...

been saying it for a while but anything about "Ai replacing employees" is a marketing exercise, and if I'm honest I lump in most AI safety conversations with it, because they never seem concerned with the actual harms. It's all so cynical.

This is what the public and media wanted out of Mount St. Helens in the Spring of 1980 — the cartoon eruption everyone had in mind. Something photogenic. Just stay back a mile or two, bring a telephoto lens. "WhY aReNt YoU dOiNg ThIs?"

Arguments in this case today went horribly for the school board. The six Republican-appointed justices sound eager to craft a maximalist decision that effectively gives religious parents a sweeping new constitutional right to veto LGBTQ materials (and much more) in public school curricula.

A shifting coalition that'd help Democrats is that if the people who actually make stuff start supporting some form of Odd Lots Liberalism while Trumpist protectionism becomes solely a tech right/financial speculator project.

Update: It looks like most Regional Climate Center websites & data pages are coming back online (or will shortly) as funding has been, at least temporarily, restored! But RCCs remain at risk given clearly stated goal of ending most NOAA-funded climate research & monitoring.

GOOD NEWS - "Thank you to everyone who expressed their strong support for the Regional Climate Center program. Our funding has been restored by NOAA and the Department of Commerce." www.ncei.noaa.gov/regional/reg...

We know from a Bukele tweet that the Trump admin has sent 252 Venezuelans to a Salvadoran jail. From a leak to CBS News, we have names of 238. For the other 14: not even their names. No official info or acknowledgement. This is textbook enforced disappearance. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/22/u...
