Setting aside the incredibly dangerous and fascist aspect of this, is there actual evidence that Khalil was a “Hamas supporter”? Or is the standard for a green-card holder being sent to a secret location and possibly deported just “critical of Israel”?

Your regular reminder that cops are here to protect capital, not people

I had to bring this here because it’s so good

Oh myyy

Let's check in on Baltimore's favorite traffic scofflaw, Thiru Vignarajah...

The Camden Line needs all-day, seven-day service. The Brunswick Line needs all-day, two-way, seven-day service.

Call the Dems who censured @algreen.house.gov including @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social not on this list Washington, DC Phone: (202) 225-5936 Brooklyn, NY Phone: (718) 237-2211 Brooklyn, NY Phone: (718) 373-0033

"They are not being talked to like they are children. We are helping them understand why their strategy is a bad idea," Jeffries staunchly preferring the "wait and see" approach to cascading authoritarianism

I've been thinking a lot about that bumper sticker which says "everything looks like a conspiracy theory when you don't understand how anything works" and folks it's pretty obvious to me that the people in power right now have absolutely no desire to understand how anything works.

“let”

In classic me fashion, a person who cares deeply about not just saying bullshit, I didn't push back against this person in real time because I couldn't say for certain they were wrong. This is why I would fail as a politician

I had a conversation earlier this week where someone asserted that fires with EVs were a big issue and made it a bad long-term cost. When I was able to look it up I found that MOTORTREND of all places directly refutes this claim. www.motortrend.com/features/you...

1. This guy is an asshole and deserves whatever happens to him. He's lucky he didn't kill someone 2. Not the point but DC has one of the best metro systems in the country. Just take the train

Okay huge ask/question. Do I know anyone in the Baltimore area who could store a ~10ft shark sculpture for me? I was supposed to go pick it up this month but my schedule has gotten chaotic. I could pick it up later in the spring or early summer 👀 It should fit in a mini van or Suburban for transit

For me, fighting fascism has nothing to do with thinking I’ll win. I don’t fight because there’s an inevitable outcome, I fight because I couldn’t live with myself if I didn’t do something.

SCOOP: Business leaders are paying as much as $5,000,000 to meet one-on-one with President Donald Trump at his Florida compound, sources tell WIRED, while others are paying $1,000,000 apiece to dine with him in a group setting.

It's really okay to not think every post online is about you

The hide amendment

🧵 The push to unionize Volkswagen has gone national, as VW autoworkers at a large distribution center in New Jersey have reached supermajority support and just became the first VW workers on the East Coast to file to unionize with the UAW. uaw.org/breaking-uni...

Just a reminder that "illegal protests" is an oxymoron

Trump Take More Egg

Someone paid actual money for these people to go stay in a hotel and come up with these universally trash ideas. It’s wild.

We still don't have an official language. That's not a thing that can be done by executive order.

Some the smartest and most civic minded technologists I’ve ever met were 18F folks

Lol

Seriously why is Texas

If you subscribe to Microsoft 365 and saw your price go up this month, you can return to the old price (and eschew AI bullshit) by going through the cancellation prompts and switching to "classic" www.moneysavingexpert.com/news/2025/02...

Let’s be clear: This is the end result of 30 years of conservative thought. Small government, free markets, blah blah, all of it ended with this: the indiscriminate firing of the scientists who predict the fucking weather. Their goal is to literally drag us back into the dark ages.

We all know the goal of Trump and the GOP is to make the federal government tiny. But they are wreaking havoc with some of the country's biggest employers like Johns Hopkins

"We are not sick. We do not need curing. What we need is recognition, support, and a society that doesn’t try to erase us." This is powerful and needs to be shared widely.

Jesus fuck it's only been 37 days

If we do not let people like Crockett and AOC take over the party, it’s a huge mistake. They are the only ones genuinely reacting like normal humans to what is happening.

Would it be possible to have a leader that isn't afraid of having a backbone
