Once again begging media reports to get the math right. For example, cutting a $5M five-year grant in year 4 isn't saving $1M, but it is wasting the $4M already spent. Stop letting this administration get away with so many lies.

We wanted to understand Trump's first 100 days, so we sat down with a serial liar who wants to turn the US into a violently imperialistic Christian nation. He also enjoys reading fascist texts from the 1930s & incites his listeners to arm themselves for a coming race war. Enjoy the conversation!

I think one of the elements of AI that people underrate is that in order to be profitable it will have to work with advertising and brands, and that means it will no longer provide “information” as much as direct sale opportunities, which is exactly why everyone hates Google Search today.

It can be a good idea to have multiple words to describe what's going on, especially when you want to explain specifics. So along with deportation, I might get people accustomed to seeing the words rendition and exile.

Trans people need support in the face of the most heinous rollback of minority rights in the UK for ages. Members of Scotland's national parliament have demanded LGBT charities be defunded. I've set up a monthly donation to LGBT Youth Scotland as a result. You can too: www.justgiving.com/lgbtyouth

America has had its share of crooks (Warren G. Harding, Richard Nixon), bigots (Andrew Jackson, James Buchanan), and incompetents (Andrew Johnson, George W. Bush). But never before Donald Trump did we have a president who combined all these nefarious qualities.

Tradition states that last night Jesus emptied out all the jails. Spent Saturday night telling people “I don’t care what you did, people weren’t made for prisons.” The next day to prove His point He broke out of solitary. It is finished. Easter is incompatible with the carceral state. Happy Easter.

Even WITH due process, an order to remove/deport someone is NOT an order to lock them up in another country until they die. Thank you for talking about this! I don't understand why we are letting them say they are deporting people.

You are (theoretically) free from the threat of state-sponsored suppression of your speech, but you are not free from its consequences. If you say hateful shit, you set yourself up to be hated. No law can prevent that.

Senator Van Hollen’s commitment to the Abrego Garcia case isn’t performative. Wearing an overnight maxi pad on your ear after an “assassination attempt” is performative.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

They spent the last four years telling us people who invaded the capital and beat police officers with flagpoles were unjustly persecuted civil rights heroes and now it’s taken about 45 minutes for them to be like “yeah if you write an op-ed you’re going to the blacksite that’s just common sense”

We've reached the point in our descent into fascism where the Jewish governor's house getting firebombed on Passover by a guy trying to bash his head in with a sledgehammer is overshadowed by the story of the President saying he wants to build foreign gulags for US citizens.

It’s moments like these when we might consider it relevant that the current FBI director who might be charged with investigating this crime appeared eight times on the podcast of Stew Peters, a Christian Nationalist who recently called for a “final solution” to America’s “Jewish problem.”

The top five egg producers own roughly half of all U.S. laying hens. The biggest of those corporations is Cal-Maine, which just announced quarterly profits of $509 million — more than 3x what it made a year ago. Corporate concentration + bird flu = a price-hiking free for all.

A very old Soviet joke, from an especially dark time: Foxes are fleeing the USSR in droves. Q: Why are you running away? Fox: The Soviets passed a new law that they’re going to arrest all camels. Q: But you’re foxes! Fox: Yeah, why don’t you try proving to the NKVD that you’re not a camel.

It really is critical that people accept this. You don’t have to understand it, just accept it. The point is literally for kids and people to die. Now, is it foolish that they think THEY are the genetically superior? Sure. But eugenics is definitionally narcissistic and dumb.
