Yes, Trump does have political instincts. And you can often tell when Trump senses a topic is a political loser because he claims to know very little about it and starts passing the buck.

WOW. One of the Venezuelans whom Kristi Noem tried to render to El Salvador's slave prison managed to avoid removal and was able to make it to immigration court, and you'll never guess what happened: THE GOVERNMENT GAVE NO EVIDENCE OF HIS GANG MEMBERSHIP. Due process ftw

NEW: Fourth Circuit shoots down the Trump administration’s efforts to appeal Judge Xinis’s order requiring it to facilitate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. “We shall not micromanage the efforts of a fine district judge attempting to implement the Supreme Court’s recent decision.”

Mastodon fans are so salty about Graze, a third-party atproto tools, giving feed creators a way to make money off their work. Mastodon will never support creators of anything in this way. Mastodon has no third-party ecosystem for tools like this.

We've reached the point where Republicans are flying to El Salvador to visit one of the most vicious prisons in the world to have photo ops so they can prove their loyalty to the President of the United States.

The CEO of Mastodon reposted someone saying Bluesky isn’t federated and can’t be run outside the US. At this point I don’t know if he’s intentionally lying or willfully stupid.

It’s time to start putting these people in prison. They’ll be lucky though, since it’ll be a US prison.

Either the U.S. government is able to exert monetary and diplomatic pressure on El Salvador sufficient to produce Abrego Garcia’s release, or it isn’t. The latter would be either a bald-faced lie or a pretty stunning concession of our national impotence. The Vice President should pick one.

We exist, we’re here. Still support it. It’s what makes America great. It’s how we get and continue to build on our unique super-culture. Still support consequences for illegal immigration. But the way it’s being gone about now is absurd and flies in the face of the law and Constitution.

This lawless administration must be held accountable as strongly as possible. This is unconstitutional and does not align with true constitutional conservative principles.

It is legally impossible to deport citizens. This is not deportation. Removing citizens to foreign prisons, knowing to a certainty that they will be subjected to treatment that violates the U.S. constitution, doesn’t deserve any label that connotes legal legitimacy.

Exiling people beyond the protection of US law without due process is not only unconstitutional, it's a rejection of the entire American revolutionary project. Sending people "beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences" is one of the grievances enumerated in the Declaration of Independence.

If you support “common-sense gun laws” like background checks for a right that’s named in the Bill of Rights, you really can’t argue the opposite for voting. You have to be consistent. Either it’s all violating rights or none of it is, right?

The process for changing your username on @bungie.net often tells people that they don’t have the ability to change their name even if they do. The block is client-side so I made a post showing people how to remove the disabled attribute and submit the form. People are still using it years later.

It is so transparently obvious that the admin put no thought into these tariffs. There was no plan. No strategy. No forward thinking. It was "tariffs first, analysis later." They are negotiating against themselves. China has called the measures a "joke", and they are right. We look like fools.

South of Midnight was pretty good. Combat was a bit bland and forgettable, though the boss designs were cool. Great music, story, world, characters. The stop-motion style was not great. There’s a toggle to turn it off but it unfortunately doesn’t affect cutscenes.

If you’re a conservative defending Trump at this point, you fall into one of three categories: - Hypocrite: you believe everything he does is totally fine (but bad when others do it) - Coward: you know he’s wrong but you don’t want to say it out loud - Idiot: you think he’s doing a good job

I’ve been using SwiftUI for the first time and I kind of hate it. Just seems very ugly and some of it seems weirdly designed or inflexible. Like, I wanted to add a confirmation delete swipe action and apparently the List doesn’t support confirmation on the onDelete action…?

He justifies this by claiming the memoir disclosed "classified" information without identifying what that supposedly was. Trump showed no such concern over details of an imminent military strike being shared by current aides in an unsecure chat that could have risked an operation.

A while back AT&T reduced their auto-pay discount for credit cards and said you had to have a debit card to get the full discount. Now they’re removing the auto-pay discount for credit cards entirely and cutting debit card discounts in half. The only option for the full discount is now ACH.
