I Watched 6 Hours of DOGE Bro Testimony. Here's What They Had to Say For Themselves The hours of videos provide fascinating, or perhaps horrifying, insight into the thinking of someone inside DOGE.

So @josephcox.bsky.social watched over six hours of this deposition featuring DOGE staffer Justin Fox who, when asked how he defined “DEI” kept saying he needed to refer to the EO.

Highlights here:

We've seen another morning of increased ICE activity with DHS helicopter out and about in Chicagoland.

Feds have taken people from Humboldt Park and Ravenswood. Vehicles also seen in Rogers Park. ICE watchers are asking north side neighbors to get outside and keep an eye on landscapers & laborers.

Yankeedom’s people have been actively resisting Trump’s paramilitaries. MN, VT, ME targeted, probably because the regime assumed largely white, pretty rural states would back his ethnonationalist vision. They don’t.

Over a week ago, in the FT, the *shipping* guys were saying "it's not just insurance. We just don't actually want our ships blown up."

I keep thinking that this must have been what 1914 was like with all members of the ruling class on both sides being sure it would be a short victorious war.

Grammarly Is Facing a Class Action Lawsuit Over Its AI ‘Expert Review’ Feature The feature, which Grammarly shut down Wednesday, presented editing suggestions as if they came from established authors and academics—without their consent.

I'm suing Grammarly over its paid AI feature that presented editing suggestions as if they came from me - and many other writers and journalists - without consent.

State law requires consent before someone's name can be used for commercial purposes.

Wow, Gulf shippers are in a real bind here. On one hand, Donald says everything's fine and Gulf shippers should sail on thru. On the other hand: massive boat-melting fireballs. Both sides make good points!

Under no circumstances should Dems provide money for the Iran War. It becomes a ratified war approval. They should not game out being tough on Iran in ads or whatever. Do the right and Constitutional thing.

Also

Marx himself admitted he needed more work on slavery

And that race drives a lot more of capital

Than we think

We can not talk about online or AI without talking about how labor reacted to Black women

I’m gonna be That Guy for a minute.

FUCK. MARX.

Marx won’t help you here unless you have someone to show you how Marx’s analysis of the effects of machines (which is a huge fucking class of objects) on labor applies to our contemporary situation.

Treaties with Indigenous nations include a "medicine chest" clause, which requires the Crown to provide for medical needs of Treaty First Nations.

This is why the federal (not provincial) government funds health expenses of Treaty First Nations.

AI fakes spread disinformation. Is the distrust they create even worse? Manipulated images undermine our shared reality—and the democracy built upon it.

I'm going to share this story one more time, because I think the problem it describes -- being unable to determine what is true online or in the news, and just giving up entirely on trying -- is going to get more and more common. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Meanwhile here in Georgia people think he has a shot because of how some counties in that district is turning blue slowly (Paulding) and part of the district is in Cobb county which has been blue for a few years now.

Islamophobic Think Tank Helped Write Indictment Against ICE Protesters The far-right Center for Security Policy, led by anti-Muslim activist Frank Gaffney, is best known for peddling conspiracy theories.

"A researcher at a far-right think tank helped Justice Department prosecutors craft their indictment for terror charges against an alleged 'north Texas antifa cell.'"

"Shideler's professional home [..] has been branded a hate group."
