Video shows two unknown men, without uniforms or identifying insignias, attacking and kidnapping a man from a Nashua, NH courthouse back in February. During the kidnapping, the assailants, presumed to be ICE agents, knocked an elderly bystander who walks with a cane to the ground.

one thing that isn't mentioned here is that Clearview AI has been providing neo-Nazi groups with free Clearview AI accounts since the company was founded

Post a banger that's not in English.

reading @leahlitman.bsky.social’s great new book and really struck (as i sometimes am) by the fact that antonin scalia was just a run of the mill gutter bigot

My dude, I don't bother paying attention to Taylor Lorenz on tech and internet issues, so there's *no way* you're going to sucker me into caring about what she says about foreign policy or national security. Sorry, man—the remaining minutes of my life are too precious for that.

Anyhoo, I hope the Quincy Institute, RT, Jacobin, The Intercept, &c are having a really fun time watching video clips online today.

1. The FPV drone tech Ukraine used here has been around for a while, though it was used very ingeniously. 2. The Ukrainian attack using these drones relied upon what sounds like over a year of extraordinarily precise logistics, planning, and training. This is not something just anyone could do.

this @adambonica.bsky.social piece deserves to be read beside the yeoman work that @donmoyn.bsky.social and @pamherd.bsky.social have been doing. The dismantling of administrative expertise is one of those stories that is so big that pro journalists with beats find it hard to focus on or explain .

It’s better than even odds that Trump shared this dumb post because he didn’t have his glasses on and he liked the photo and now the White House press secretary will have to be like “Experts agree that it’s quite possible cyborgs walk among us, no matter what the fake news claims.”

My wife and I watch this show called Couples Therapy, the most recent season came out last week. There is a guy in this season who is so toxic and such an asshole to his wife. I could barely watch the segments. Anyway now he works at Bari Weiss fake college www.uaustin.org/people/boris...

NHL needs more coaches in track suits.

MAKARY: 88 percent of American kids, their parents have said no to the covid shot last season. So the vast majority of Americans are saying no. BRENNAN: I don't want to crowdsource my health guidance. You don't go with popularity, you go with data.

Computer...show me today's bull shit

It’s odd to me that “we need to restore Christian values to Europe” is not coded as anti-Semitic even though it is, quite literally, anti-semitism’s original form.

Well, that’s much better then.

It’s going to add $3 trillion to $5 trillion to the national debt. Johnson is simply lying here, bless his heart.

Mike Johnson: "Those 4.8 million people will not lose their Medicaid unless they choose to do so."

“We’re not in love with the law” is a pretty good motto for this group

What I think is really funny here is Trump retruthed the post because he thought the photo of him was cool and he didn't even read the rest. And even that isn't true. He looks like Mrs Doubtfire in it.

Journalism is dead. Sad.

true on both counts

Grandpa has good days and bad days but increasingly only days where he thinks Joe Biden is a robot. Trump's brains are leaking out his ears

Dodgers 18, Yankees 2

That’s the dumbest fucking thing I’ve ever heard.

Thinking of maybe poasting.

Ben Sasse, whose brief, disastrous tenure as Univ of Florida president collapsed amid evidence of gross financial mismanagement, wants Harvard and other Ivies “to acknowledge they’ve screwed up” after “years of misguided administration have left them academically adrift”

They deleted it before I could get a proper screengrab so this’ll have to do. (Also, this is some truly sorryass shit)

Deporting a gay man to Russia is beyond horrific, and yet this admin is happy to do it. And the verbal abuse he describes is abhorrent; and not new. Guards at detention centers, jails, and prisons get away with crap like this all the time. It’s appalling, it’s not new under Trump, just worse now.

FIRE is such a frustrating organization because their individual cases are often totally correct and principled and they’re principled in stuff like this…and then their main guy is on X approvingly saying that Trump is right to eviscerate higher education

An ICE agent sporting a valknut tattoo (commonly associated with white supremacist "Odinist" groups in the US) was spotted during an immigration raid in Massachusetts last week.

Don’t sleep on this

Punitive tariffs to forcibly "reshore" manufacturing, while also cutting off the funding for innovations that would help with that reshoring. Brilliant.

Me: hello i’d like to order a pizza Domino’s:

Russia’s newly created gulag system for Ukrainian children. A Canadian-funded Hala Systems company has mapped 136 Russian concentration camps holding abducted Ukrainian children. Some are over 3,000 km from Ukraine—in Siberia. The children are required to participate in regular military drills.

Paramilitaries, you say? 🤔

Troopers in Central Florida appear to have been given direction not to wear their name tags during ICE operations.
