I’m not alone in this revelation or anything but it would be great if Democrats actually noticed Republicans aren’t getting agitated and defensive about taco trucks or raising the debt. They’re getting agitated and defensive when you point out their budget bill will kill people.

Earlier today, while courthouse ICE arrests continued inside federal buildings, at a nondescript office nearby more immigrants were rounded up at required check ins, in another Trump administration escalation. www.thecity.nyc/2025/06/03/i...

I think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE. Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpas—and the community was not having it. Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.

Police almost universally believe they are above the law. And, since they effectively never face consequences for breaking the law, I guess they're correct in that belief.

Even the mods of a pro-AI subreddit tell me they are having to ban an uptick of unwell users who think ChatGPT is letting them talk to god, or turning them into a god, etc www.404media.co/pro-ai-subre...

A thread containing a few more thoughts on the Unbound disaster: When - after a long time of making late payments - Unbound first began to not pay their authors at all, it soon became abundantly clear they were very keen for me not to talk about it publicly. It was tricky...

So, I think it's time I begin, in detailed specifics, talking about the mess that is Unbound / Boundless as a book publisher, in essence stealing most of a years royalties from me and many other authors, as a result of poor financial decisions, and legal BS. Please read and share this thread.

This is how it’s done! FRIDAY: South Park, San Diego, neighbors weren’t having it. When ICE rolled up on an Italian restaurant in unmarked cars and started grabbing workers, the community hit the streets. (Sound up)

I keep seeing people say Musk “failed” in his government takeover. No, he did not fail. He shut down investigations into his businesses, he garnered huge contracts, and he stole the personal data of everyone in the US. That’s not a “failure.” This motherfucker won, and won big.

I know one of my core competencies is blaming everything on Dems but there would have been a counter narrative if Dems didn’t cowardly pivot right. it lent legitimacy to these lies and made it seem like there was a consensus.

If these guys keep refusing to show ID and are always masked and in mismatched gear perhaps we should refer to them as “men claiming to be ICE agents” instead of “ICE agents.”

For @thebarbedwire.bsky.social, I dug into data first reported by @404media.co and found that Texas law enforcement agencies conducted at least 180 immigration-related searches this year using an AI-powered automatic license plate reader network. thebarbedwire.com/2025/05/30/t...
