I'll be honest: I enjoy reading articles about how unqualified ideologues selected for their loyalty to an authoritarian president are suffering at their jobs.

I have a lot of issues with Gavin Newsom but he is calling out Trump in a way other major leaders aren’t and if he causes Trump to have a stroke I will buy him a latte

What happened yesterday was part of a much bigger effort to try and silence anyone who dares to question what the Trump administration is doing. But we will not be intimidated and we will not be deterred. We must hold this administration accountable.

tests like this are sort of worst case for camera-based systems because those systems are trained on footage of real people and that dummy neither looks nor moves much like an actual person HOWEVER--and this is FUCKING KEY--that's irrelevant if you have REDUNDANT SENSOR SUITES INCLUDING LIDAR

Sourcing the dispute to Padilla even when the video proves Padilla is right is an explicit endorsement of the White House's credibility by a news organization

Seems important: "FBI ‘Escorted’ Him To Trump DHS Presser They Claim He Crashed" Padilla says he "didn’t “barge” into the presser, he was signed in and escorted, and was listening in the room for 10 minutes before he tried to ask a question" www.mediaite.com/media/news/s...

My 3 year-old was reading the Times when he turned to me, gravely, and asked: "Daddy, why did the senator ask mean questions to the nice plastic surgery lady?" And when I told him "because that lady pledged to liberate LA from socialists," he started crying.

Not that it even matters terribly. But one of their claims was that he had no identifying lapel of whatever. But I just noticed in the photo on my article he’s literally wearing a US senate shirt.

This is so important it hurts. This is the tiny area of a massive sprawling city that Trump is attacking and the entire propaganda machine is churning to make us believe more is happening. Don’t fall for the lies.

Guess who was right in the thick of the assault on @padilla.senate.gov? Corey Lewandowski. (He may have been the guy instructing that there's no recording at a press conference and seems to have realized how badly they fucked up.)

Look at Trump’s Truth Social post. Consider his call with Newsom. He is incoherent, insane. Failure of corporate press to say that every day as he is taking us down the road to a police state is the gravest journalistic malpractice in American history. They will never redeem themselves.

every time I have said this on here I have had people [usually the same ones who cite Chenoweth's 3.5% statistic (which she points out isn't to be interpreted in the way many people interpret it)] screaming that this isn't true. It isn't true 2 them because it doesn't FEEL like people are protesting
