Also, itโs nice to know some folks are listening! :) I used to use Twitter like a mad woman. When it went fascist and I left, I didnโt know if I had it in me to spend all that time on a new platform so Iโm kinda a casual poster here
Itโs a famous ethics problem/dilemma, and it also creates a paradox. Hereโs an overview: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing...
JUST IN: North Carolina's Dem lawmaker Carla Cunningham gave the GOP the decisive vote to pass a law forcing police to comply with ICE. She said "all cultures are not equal."
She just lost reelection BIG in the Dem primary to a progressive pastor & activist, Rodney Sadler. 70% to 22%!

Frame from campaign ad by Rep. Dan Goldman. His face full on center frame under which is the caption in all caps โABOLISH ICEโ
Public pressure means something. Primaries can change policies. In NY-10, Dan Goldman has been running ads for months.
Primaried from his left by @bradlander.bsky.social, Goldmanโs ads have gone from โAgents should have to carry IDโ in January, to big bold graphics this month that say โAbolish ICE.โ
If America still had the rule of law, this would be the easiest prosecution ever, but we all know absolutely nothing will happen.
How does that work with the two schools of children we blew up?
I will!
YUP!
YOU GUYS. MAJOR MILESTONE. My teenage son with ADHD just reminded *me* of his orthodontist appt, which Iโd forgotten about and forgotten to set alarm for! #ParentingWINS

On the day of Abrego's indictment, the district's criminal division chief Ben Schrader resigned.
We just learned he wrote a memo explaining why he thought Abrego shouldn't have been charged. He wanted the memo forwarded to "D.C." It never was, per testimony. www.allrisenews.com/p/abrego-vin...
The Ford Pinto had a death rate of 85 people for 10 million cars sold. The Cybertruck hasn't sold 10 million, but the fatality rate so far maths out to 1,452 people killed per 10 million sold.
The Cybertruck may be the deadliest road car, for the occupants, ever sold.

This guy is my hero for today. He sees the opportunity and he grabs it โ and he pushes harder when he realizes sheโs trying to distract from what he said and avoid an actually important topic.
It is interesting the way she happens to pull the mic away every time he says it
I didnโt write this โ Jess Steier at @unbiasedscipod.bsky.social did โ but I heartily endorsed every word when I shared it elsewhere, and it mirrors things Iโve been saying for years.
Yea, this is exactly what happens in a democracy with a bill of rights ๐

NEW: Natasha Korecki at NBC reports that in light of the SCOTUS tariff ruling, Gov. Pritzker sent President Donald Trump an invoice of $8.6 billion.
Remember, these guys fired all the people who actually know what they're doing because "DEI" and then hired the absolute dumbest people imaginable because of "meritocracy" and... then they do stuff like leaving comments enabled in their "this is how we concentration camp" PDF.
collection of dishonest headlines
Google search, "would the us commit troops to defend taiwan" AI answer: Whether the U.S. would commit troops to defend Taiwan is officially governed by a policy of "strategic ambiguity," designed to deter both a Chinese invasion and Taiwanese independence. While the 1979 Taiwan Relations Act mandates providing defensive arms, it does not legally guarantee direct military intervention.
Deplorable state of U.S. media on display here, deliberately misleading the public. You can literally type into Google the same question @aoc.bsky.social was asked and the AI will give you her same answer because "strategic ambiguity" has been official U.S. policy her whole life.
I just did the dumbest thing of my entire career to prove a much more serious point.
I tricked ChatGPT and Google, and made them tell other users Iโm a competitive hot-dog-eating world champion

๐ Invoking Orwell, a federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to restore panels and historical acknowledgments of the history of slavery that the National Park Service removed in Philadelphia. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
This is the clearest admission I've seen for what I've said all along: The entire conservative movement is animated by a fever-dream to return to the white privilege levels of 1950.
Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the โerasure of white cultureโ. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.
The MAGA/MAHA administration is torturing kids & building more & more concentration camps to lock up & torture more kids
It is a horrific, sickening, repulsive irony that the first MAHA report, coauthored by folks like Drs Makary & Bhattacharya, was called Make Our Children Healthy Again
