Had the pleasure of seeing Dan Bern (@bernsteinn.bsky.social) tonight, going song-for-song over two sets with the Matt the Electrician. Just two guys and their guitars - a perfect evening's entertainment.

🔥 WATCH: “I don’t want to hear about the Biden administration— you’re here on behalf of the Trump administration.” @ossoff.bsky.social won’t let Trump’s budget guy russ vought get away with the Biden-blaming they all try to do.

So grateful to have had these guys in my ears every week for the last couple of years. Great chemistry, tons of laughs, a terrific dungeon, and a phenomenal GM. Heartfelt congrats on 114 amazing episodes, fellas. Sad to see this campaign end, but can’t wait to see what the next one has in store!

28 Years Later is completely bonkers and I loved every minute. Highly recommend seeing it in the theatre.

We are posting this placard at all of our offices and asking our union contract farms to post as well. We encourage our friends to put up similar placards at their business as immigration agents do not have the right to go on private property without permission.

MIT just pubbed a study on ChatGPT users. “Brain scans revealed neural connection collapse... a 47% reduction in brain connectivity. When researchers forced ChatGPT users to write w/o AI, they performed worse than people who never used AI at all. It's not just dependency. It's cognitive atrophy.”

Absolutely absurd statement by Trump. Media is just focusing on military operations and realpolitik bullshit analysis, no mention of illegality or how terrible this decision was. I swear to god. I swear to fucking god.

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife. While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE. This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.

“I will let go if you show me a judicial warrant,” he repeated. “I would like to see the warrant, and then I will let go.” Seconds later, one of the officers said, “Take him in.” The agents then forcibly removed Lander, pushed him against the wall and cuffed him.

🚨 There’s a lot of horrific news out of Washington right now—but you might have missed this: Senate Republicans just introduced a plan to sell off 120 million acres of our public lands. Let me break down what’s in the bill and why it’s a full-scale land grab. 🧵

"Are you actually enjoying that old movie/tv show/game, or is it just nostalgia?" Oh man, I was almost experiencing joy engaging in media that reminded me of happy experiences in my youth, thank God you came to put a stop to that.

🧵I think it’s important to understand what disinformation like Sen. Mike Lee’s tweets are trying to do, psychologically/cognitively. In my disinfo class/Substack, I talk about how disinfo often uses “moral disengagement strategies” to manipulate people into accepting harmful conduct 1/

Hi everyone I was denied entry, detained, and deported from the USA over the last 48 hours because of my reporting on the Columbia student protests I arrived back in Melbourne hours ago and had my phone handed back to me upon landing

I think a good rule of thumb is if your preferred source of news referred to yesterday's protest as "tens of thousands" and not "millions", you need to find a different news source.

Jamie Raskin: We've got no kings and we've got no slaves, we've got no masters and no serfs...The moment that somebody in public office begins to act like the master of the people, that is the moment to evict, eject, reject, impeach, try, convict, and start all over again.

Thank you @jimmykimmel.com for making it plain: the media is helping to push lies about what's happening in Los Angeles when literally ... almost NOTHING is happening in Los Angeles, EXCEPT for where ICE shows up and kidnaps people. The city is perfectly normal otherwise. Media: stop playing along!
