I keep seeing people ask about the 25th Amendment.

Guys. His entire Cabinet is walking around in shoes that don’t fit because they’re scared to take them off.

The 25th is never happening.

On reflection the funny thing is that “paperwork isn’t what makes you american” is actually an argument for legalizing people who are American in every respect except the law bsky.app/profile/adam...

Which fictional characters do you think were having the nastiest sex off-screen? With the understanding that it's obviously a contest for second-place after these two freaks from Andor

This woman, US citizen living in Skokie, was detained at Ohare yesterday, taken to Broadview, then transferred to a detention facility in Wisconsin, now released. We know all this not because of DHS, who repeatedly denied that they even had her, but because her phone was pinging in those locations.

Even Philly’s crosswalks have hoagiemouth. We found out why for youse. “It feels like one of those many only-in-Philly things, of course even our crosswalks have a thick Philly accent.”

A stupid thing that brings me joy. share.inquirer.com/2kEDO1

Met a relative who is on these recently and was chastised because I didn’t comment on her weight loss. I had to tell her, “I’m sorry, but I’m not really in the habit of commenting on people’s weight.”

Having suffered the pain of a tooth infection I can unequivocally say that this man died in absolute agony. The type of nerve pain that will have you screaming and wondering quite rightly if you’ve gone insane

This man was tortured through neglect, and everyone involved is an irredeemable monster

a thing historians will marvel about when they study this era is the extent to which the "war is a thing that happens to poorer, browner people" class went about systematically dismantling every aspect of the global political order that confined the costs of war to poorer and browner people

Another important point: This is a war crime regardless of who did the development of this as a target &/or carried out the strike. They're non-combatants, they're also prisoners albeit under house arrest. They're opposition leaders, not leaders w/in the government. 1/

“We are taking back your papers, you have no papers now” is even more chilling than “show us your papers”

Remember, john roberts' logic for weakening the medicaid expansion was that it was "too coercive" to give the states money to pay for medicaid. bsky.app/profile/apne...

It’s not just Medicaid funding they’re withholding to MN. It’s food assistance, child care assistance, social services, job training, safety testing, public health, disaster relief. SNAP. Free lunch for kids in school.

They hate us for loving our neighbors, and are collectively punishing us for it.

Note to myself to read this (and actually engage with this whole thread when I’m not half awake). The impact of AI agents on developer behavior and perception is interesting to me on a personal level cause adhd.

Like, I look at my remaining token count like some guys count remaining adderalls.

a long friend of mine is now in wilderness SAR — and the stories, man.

her: you wouldn’t believe the weird stuff people get up to—

me: you’re like customer service for the forest

her: oh NO. you’re right.

NJ lawmakers introduce the FUCK ICE Act.

The bill "permits civil action for violations of US Constitution related to immigration enforcement."

Part of the context here is that Bucks County recently elected an anti-ICE sheriff to replace their pro-ICE sheriff. The actions of Quakertown police (which is separate) are best understood as a gang that sees its power to intimidate slipping and so has initiated a violent suppression campaign.

Grok Exposed a Porn Performer’s Legal Name and Birthdate—Without Even Being Asked In the latest in a string of privacy abuses from the chatbot, Grok provided porn performer Siri Dahl's full legal name and birthdate to the public, information she'd protected until now.

“Now that it's been crawled, it's everywhere. There are a ton of Facebook accounts that come up that are pretending to be me, using my real name,” @siridahl.com told us. “There are now porn leak sites that are posting porn of me using only my legal name, not even putting my stage name on it.”
