Apple made a 24k gold and glass statue for Donald Trump Another tactic from Tim Cook to charm the president.

Kiss the ring.

Union? What’s that?

When you can’t make it in the free market, just call daddy big government! (While calling everyone else a communist, as a bonus.)

Fear of immigrants. Fear of trans people. Fear is socialism. Fear of Black people. Fear of of someone else having something that you don’t.

Being Right-wing in this country is to live a life of fear.

My toxic trait is thinking buying one more notebook will fix me.

Stripe, Visa, and Mastercard controlling if you can buy Hentai games is wild.

If you don’t believe that everything is political, I don’t know what to tell you.

I was one of the people that believed that. I bought my own NACS to CCS adapter, and nowhere in the app did it give me the option to use my own adapter like at stations without the magic dock. I even shoo’d away a friendly Tesla driver who wanted to help because I thought it was going to be simple.

What if I have tweeted at ICE before, talking shit?

At the Mercedes chargers nearby, I plugged in, tapped my card, and it started charging. That’s how it should work, everywhere.

Had an awful experience trying to charge my Bolt EV at a Tesla supercharger. One of the stations was broken, neither station I tried to use made it easy to take out the magic dock, and the app would time out after plugging in.

EFF to Court: Protect Our Health Data from DHS The federal government is trying to use Medicaid data to identify and deport immigrants. So EFF and our friends at EPIC and the Protect Democracy Project have filed an amicus brief asking a judge to b...

ICE is going after taxpayer data, food stamp data – and now health data. This violates federal privacy laws. Check out our amicus brief in the lawsuit against HHS disclosing Medicaid data to DHS.

So bleak…

Whose feelings are being hurt by the correct telling of American history?

The Story Behind Jared Kushner’s Curious Acceptance Into Harvard ProPublica editor Daniel Golden wrote a book a decade ago about how the rich buy their children access to elite colleges. One student he covered is now poised to become one of the most powerful…

“His GPA did not warrant it, his SAT scores did not warrant it. We thought for sure, there was no way this was going to happen. Then, lo and behold, Jared was accepted.”

More on how the rich buy their children’s way into elite universities with massive, tax-deductible donations (published 2016):

I have been playing COD, for hours at a time now.

Also Bluesky can't set profiles to private?

WILD.

I do not miss being chronically online on Twitter clones.

I also came her to praise HEB on making Zapp's potato chips $2.50 for the big bag.

Insane negotiating flex!

‘He’s just a kid’: the Maryland teenager swept into Trump immigration dragnet A last-minute supreme court intervention prevented Javier Salazar from getting deported, but the battle is far from over

“He’s just a kid, still in the process of growing up…”

Excellent reporting here by @tanvi.bsky.social:

I’m an ai skeptic. I heard they were good and getting data and making sense of it. I put in a graph and asked it to make it into a text document. And got everything absolutely wrong.

What was even the point?

One of the funniest things about the oligarch group chats story is the implication that the story leaked now due to the chats falling apart from Trump tarriffs. Like people are getting disappeared and the president's son is "joking" about no elections in 2028 but it was tarriffs that triggered them

welp there it is. saw this one coming a mile away unfortunately but that doesn’t make it any less horrific

So liberals are now what, defending DHS? 🤣😭
