The problem with most machine-based random number generators is that they’re not TRULY random, so if you need genuine randomness it is sometimes necessary to link your code to an external random process like a physical noise source or the current rate of US tariffs on a given country.

👇🎯 We are having trouble using proper terminology because it requires us to fully accept exactly what has happened to our country & wrestle with the fact that every single one of our elected representatives in Congress is violating their oaths of office by not immediately impeaching & removing him.

10 national unions repping 3 million members demand the release of abducted immigrant workers and call for employers and university admins to refuse to cooperate and elected officials to “find their spines.” This is the way. labornotes.org/blogs/2025/0...

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

Great example from Mr. Beast of how insane it was for Trump to hit raw food with tariffs Ingredients that grow abroad are getting more expensive—a Feastables bar has sugar (hit by a 10% tariff), chocolate (6-15%), cocoa butter (21%), & vanilla (41%)—and those tariffs also hit coffee, fish, etc

If only there were a group of prestigious universities that could coordinate. A "league" of sorts. Given the classic ivy draping buildings on college campuses maybe we could use that type of symbol to unite them.

I'm not kidding that any Dem who wants to run in 2028 should get out ahead of this and loudly say if El Salvador puts American citizens in Trump's gulag we'll fucking invade.

ACLU filed a class habeas petition in the Southern District of New York following Monday's SCOTUS order that challenges to Trump's Alien Enemies Act proclamation must be brought in habeas. SDNY is where the two individual plaintiffs, at least when filed, were located. assets.aclu.org/live/uploads...

Last year I had the opportunity to listen to one of Michael’s tell their story about their kidnapping and imprisonment by the CCP. It was a stark reminder of how brutal authoritarian states can be. Disappeared in front of his wife in the middle of the night. Held w/o cause. Interrogated endlessly.
