You can literally see the insider trading of today’s “pause” on the graph. This is completely illegal, and nothing will be done about it.

Unreal: the story of an Australian MMA coach sent to a harrowing detention prison upon arriving in the US with a visa to lead a seminar. In case you had any doubt if it’s worth the risk of trying to enter the US unless absolutely necessary. www.instagram.com/p/DIEA_nBpCC...

Is it good that the Treasury secretary is not sure about the newly decided and announced tariff policy towards one of our largest trading partners...

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A “TRADE DEFICIT”—IT’S JUST CALLED “BUYING THINGS.” YOU DO NOT HAVE A TRADE DEFICIT WITH YOUR DENTIST JUST BECAUSE HE NEVER BUYS ANYTHING FROM YOU.

We need a list of names of the Venezuelans sent to the concentration camp in El Salvador. We need those on the front page of every paper, every day. And the students disappeared by ICE. Those people cannot be disappeared

I wrote something about the secret police kidnapping and disappearing students over their op-eds, and wondering what happened to all those people screaming about the "free speech crisis on campus." www.techdirt.com/2025/03/27/t...

a cage full of shaved men in bunks stacked up to the ceiling is the modern day death camp. they are invoking the cruelty, the sadism, the AESTHETICS of Nazism and turning it against young Latino men. it is disgusting and it offends me in my deepest self.

NEW: @motherjones.com reports that one of the men renditioned to El Salvador is Neri Alvarado, who was working in Dallas as a baker. An ICE agent told him they were questioning all men with tattoos. Neri has an AUTISM AWARENESS TATTOO in honor of his 15-year-old brother with autism.

We officially live in a fascist state. Time for congress, the senate, and judiciary to step up before this escalates into a civil war

“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

If you supported a 10 year old American child with brain cancer, on her way to medical treatment, being deported because her parents are undocumented (but have no criminal records), then you’re a horrific person and I’m not sure how you sleep at night.

The New York Times is the first to put out comprehensive estimates on the cost of a year without U.S.A.I.D. and they’re higher than I thought: - 1.65 million deaths from AIDS - 500,000 from lack of vaccines - 550,000 from lack of food aid - 290,000 from malaria - 310,000 from TB

The difference between liberals watching this nightmare vs conservatives is that liberals have empathy. We understand that illegally detaining a citizen means we could be next. In contrast conservatives don't understand a single thing until it happens to them personally

Per Dr Atul Gawande, ex USAID: “All malaria supplies protecting 53 million people, mostly children, including bed nets, diagnostics, preventive drugs, and treatments – terminated.” There are no words that sufficiently describe this level of cruelty and sadism.

When you describe the actual agenda of the Republican Party to ordinary people—like this kind of comical reverse Robin Hoodism—time & time again researchers find that they simply will not believe you. They cannot fathom anyone could be this cartoonishly evil.

Any journalist covering the cuts to government programs without mentioning the massive tax cuts for the rich is gaslighting

To me OpenAI and others likely already have AGI systems internally. Because it’s a trivial extension of o3- just strap on a memory, an executive goal, and Bob’s your uncle. My guess is that the main issue is how to make it safe- likely what they debriefed Trump on in that hush hush late Jan meeting

Having a list of banned words is shameful. Having the word “Women” on it is beyond that. Conservatives need to disavow this immediately. Taliban level misogyny www.kpbs.org/news/economy...
