NEWS: Last night, the Department of Homeland Security detained a Palestinian who helped lead the Columbia encampment. Agents told him his visa was revoked. He said he had a green card. They were confused—then said that was revoked too. His attorney demanded a warrant. Agents hung up instead.

Yes. If DHS can barge in, say your visa was revoked, be told you have a green card, say it's revoked too, and then disappear you so that neither your lawyer nor your family can find you, then all the guardrails are gone. There is no policy, practice, or law protecting anyone.

It's going to be a rough time for any institution that reflexively aims for mealy-mouthed "all things to all people" appeasement. This has been the PR default for a long time but those days are over. You'll have to decide what you believe in and stand up for it

on this women's day, I'm thinking about my former boss at SEGA who, on my first day of work in 2017, told me the producer I'd be working with "had a thing about women", "would tell [women] to shut up and belittle them" but "not to take it personally". thank goodness they unionized, lol.

All I am holding the line for in this strike is the right to say no to being fed to AI. I know this will limit my career in the future. I don't care. My acting is not about $$. Acting is about taking my experiences to show others they can survive unthinkable things. I cannot give that to a robot.

There were already people in the government "reducing waste, fraud and abuse." Trump fired them and replaced them with one unelected asshole who's canceling programs he personally doesn't like and awarding himself government contracts

As a note: the article is wrong, we are NOT held up by movement. Companies are refusing to give us AI rights for work already done and want to scrape our sites for data FOR FREE. If you believe this is only about movement, you are being lied to! Misdirected! By multi-million dollar law teams!

One day he’s telling us that tariffs are amazing because they will bring lots of new jobs to the US and raise so much money we won’t have to pay income tax, then the next day he’s telling us we aren’t doing them because people were nice to him on the phone.

Musk suffers from the same delusion as his fans: he imagines he knows things because he has money. This has caused him to repeatedly embarrass himself publicly, and the humiliation makes him more resentful of criticism instead of triggering self reflection. He shouldn't be anywhere near government

What accounts for phrasing like this? If any other president in modern times had signed an executive order libelling a DC law firm as an enemy of the state, the headlines would be about how he’s a fucking lunatic, the courts were sure to slap him down, and his cabinet was reacting with horror.
