With this budget, ICE alone would have nearly as large a detention operation as all 50 states' prison systems combined. Bigger budget than the Marine Corps. Police-state levels of spending

“ICE gets a bigger budget than the Marine Corps” is a simple fact that should be communicated very widely because it clearly expresses how crazy and radical this is

roughly: the idea that the role of the courts and the constitution is to protect the weak against the strong is "out of fashion" because courts can't possibly know who's weak and who's strong

The year of the European Union Linux desktop may finally arrive www.theregister.com/2025/06/27/t... via @theregister.com & @sjvn.bsky.social It's not the technical advantages of #Linux and #opensource software over Microsoft software; it's the desire to free themselves from US-based companies.

Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.

You have more in common with the average Iranian citizen than you do with the people that run this country

oh my god

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

When I started grad school three decades ago, we thought climate change was a future problem. Now it’s clear that the future is here. Even if people don’t care that those who’ve contributed the least to causing climate change suffer the most from it, they should care about fixing it for themselves.

Hell of a chart, this, from @financialtimes.com. Spot the JCPOA. on.ft.com/4kSuQYO

i really need clear advice on when precisely i’m free to spend down my life savings as fast as possible

Putin asserts that Russians and Ukrainians were one people “and in that sense the whole of Ukraine is ours,” www.nytimes.com/2025/06/20/w... In case there was any doubt about where Putin - and his paramour, Donald Trump stand.

So, I’m really angry about this. This is utter and complete nonsense that can serve only to delegitimate an order that is constitutionally binding on the executive branch. Even if they do comply, it’s the kind of thing that builds support for noncompliance. It cannot be normalized.

If you’ve got a badge and a gun but think your actions are shameful enough to need a mask, you should quit.

I don’t know what these are but I’ll take 50 🤤

sorry to be a downer but i just don't think we're gonna crack this. people don't even see their future selves as themselves so the idea of doing things for future generations rather than prioritizing more more more now is basically unthinkable www.france24.com/en/live-news...

Dress it up in progressive language but you're cheating yourself by not doing the work. This is the worst thing about AI: millions of students refusing to learn, taking zero interest in the world around them, empty in mind and heart. Your punishment is the person you will become.

#StarTrek is #antifascist and always has been.

Genuine Question because I Do not understand… so if these men roll up in plain clothes and masks, grab a human being… even a child, and throw them in an unmarked vehicle I am just supposed to look the other way and say nothing ?? Ask Nothing ?

this is gold 🤣. the political clarity is unmatched. i need the daily digest.

"this is a win-win for all of us, guys"

EXTREMELY ANNOYING The climate movement spent millions of $ over decades focusing on just transition, helping displaced workers, yet climate action still gets broadly criticised as causing 'job losses' Tech bros pop up saying "I WANT TO DESTROYJOBS ASAP" and get a glowing write-up in the NYT 🤨🧐🆒🗑️

Every machine in a Hospital that diagnoses your body without cutting you open is based on a principle of Physics, discovered by a Physicist who had no interest in Medicine. If you think the world doesn’t need Basic Science, or that somehow Science has failed you, think again.

“Does the US President’s social media post mean people should evacuate Tehran in a serious, bombs-are-imminent sort of way or a silly, he’ll forget about it in the morning sort of way?” is an insane, nightmarish situation to be in

BREAKING: At 11 MILLION attending, No Kings Day numbers are approaching the critical key 3.5%... A political scientist's "3.5% rule" states that no government has ever held power after 3.5% of its population takes to the streets. Let's go!!!

“Deploying the military on US soil against Americans was on page 555 of Project 2025. This was always their plan & people voted for it.”

We feed you. They hunt us.

This is how. Greta Thunberg spits fire and gives you the only media training you may ever need.

One of the coolest features of the Agami Heron is its gorgeous, flowing crest that flutters as it poses and preens. But I've never seen it up close before with the details and textures. #CostaRica #herons #nature #birds
