Mr. Fahrenheit

There have been some very bad developments today.

Trump’s “Defensive Operation” Against the World From ICE detention centers in San Diego to the war in Iran, Trump has been trying to "defend" our country, while making the lives of many miserable instead.

We Have to Talk About Donald Trump’s Brain Are we just going to sit around and pretend that the president isn’t having a lot of… questionable moments these days?

Kash is definitely the guy at the party who tries to get on the mic after he does a key bump. Total vibekiller.

Why We Must Fight to Stop HR 7661 Before It Destroys the Lives of American Children Lately I’ve been calling my House rep and screaming about one zillion things, and maybe you have too. But today I want to talk about one thing in particular you should add to your list: H.R. 7661 i…

I’ve watched as books bans on the state and local level have eroded the freedom to read, as well as threaten the well-being and livelihoods of authors whose books have been banned.

It is the responsibility of anyone who cares about books and about reading to protect the rights of potential readers

BREAKING: DC Circuit, on a 2-1 vote, keeps in place a lower court order blocking DHS Sec. Noem’s effort to end Haiti temporary protected status designation.

Judges Pan and Garcia deny DOJ’s request to stay the district court order. Judge Walker would have granted it.

Haiti TPS is safe for now.

What pisses me off more than I'd like to admit is that Hegseth is too stupid/drunk/both to realize just how pathetic and weak he sounds when he thinks he's being cool and badass. It's not fair. There should be like a drug we could give him to make him self-aware and cringe until he shits himself.

this is like

the thesis statement of our times

I am so. so sorry.

The Middle East is going to be such a complete, flaming disaster by the time these idiots are finally out of power. And every time they escalate again, they only make the most probable outcome that much worse.

Top DOD Official in Charge of the ‘Golden Dome for America’ Project Has Financial Ties to Contractors

This story is wild. As far as I can tell from the body camera clips I watched, the footage shows MPD special operations strategizing their forcible entry into private property without a warrant, based on the say-so of a political appointee with nothing more than a stack of print outs.

Competence demands at some level that you acknowledge the existence of objective reality, and that's ultimately unacceptable to the collective make believe

The Markwayne Mullin appointment proves it without a shadow of a doubt. White supremacy & cultures of oppression REQUIRE the platforming of the transparently mediocre to enforce their systems.

Because that combo of mediocrity & ambition fosters a type of cravenness that is willing to do anything.

The growing use of "AI detectors" is making more people turn to use AI... and it's making everyone write worse.

How nuts do you have to be to be fired by RFK Junior?

One hopes he won't be back for a third time down the road.

Life on the Front Lines of America’s Caregiving Crisis There was a time when Jade thought, We can handle this. She first met John over the phone. It was 1990, and she worked for a California nursing agency, where she processed payroll. At the time, Jad…

She was motivated to approach their situation intellectually, professionally. But of course, caring for her husband was nothing like helping a patient she might see in the clinic.

As more and more, and then everything, eventually fell to her, she looked around and asked, “Where did my life go?”

DOJ refuses to rule out immigration enforcement access to voter data “Your honor, I can honestly say I do not know the answer to that,” a DOJ attorney said.

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) would not rule out using voter data for immigration enforcement during a federal hearing in Minnesota, but said such data was not currently being used.

Trump is adding anti-trans provisions to SAVE America Act Trump appears to be using culture-war issues, which are popular among Republican voters, to increase the pressure on Republican lawmakers to back the bill.

The White House confirmed Friday that President Donald Trump is pressing Congress to add new provisions targeting transgender people to the SAVE America Act — a sweeping anti-voting bill that could disenfranchise millions.

Already, these bills are standing in the way of protecting kids online: Last week, the FTC said it would decline to enforce COPPA, a landmark law that mandates the protection of children’s data, in order to incentivize ID verification.

Congress Is Considering Abolishing Your Right to Be Anonymous Online The bipartisan push to remove anonymity from the internet is ushering in an era of unprecedented mass surveillance and censorship.

The laws will lead to more data being collected on kids, which predatory companies can then use to target them in more invasive ways.

Before you share that story about how troops were told the Iran War is for "Armageddon," read this The narrative is dramatic. The sourcing is thin. And skepticism matters, especially on something this serious.

I agree with a lot of this, worth reading:

Does Anthropic think Claude is alive? Define ‘alive’ “We don’t know if the models are conscious,” Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei said on a podcast earlier this month.

Choosing the name "Anthropic" was truth in advertising. It's so misleading to claim that chatbots are conscious.

This is what they said about tariffs, too. We must all be willing to endure some short term pain so our dumbass president can implement the policies that will ensure long term pain.

NRA successfully lobbies against bill taking away guns from abusers - Mississippi Today Republican Sen. Brice Wiggins says he'll try again in the 2027 legislative session to get his NRA-opposed bill passed to get guns out of the hands of domestic violence abusers.

A south Mississippi lawmaker who proposed legislation aimed at getting firearms out of the hands of domestic violence abusers chose not to bring the bill up for a vote in the Senate in the face of opposition from the National Rifle Association.
