An incredibly talented team of my colleagues at @propublica.org have created a searchable database of Trump's team financial disclosures, to help explore potential conflicts of interest: projects.propublica.org/trump-team-f...
In the meantime—and it's quite possible, I'm advised, that these slimebuckets have closed all their legal loops—I wrote a pretty good book that you can acquire for not a lot of money or take out of the library, and I've been known to answer questions here when people ask me questions.
Yes, of course. Because LLMs are being built by people who made social networks before, which were algorithms designed to amplify content that would reflect back your priors in another person’s voice. It’s ex-Facebook product managers making ChatGPT! Except more emotionally addictive this time.
Lawson is so eloquent, worth 2 mins of your time.
1/4 lbs of Hawaiian style ahi poke, a plastic spoon, and a can of Maui Brewing Company Bikini Blonde lager.

Hot food plastic bentos with chicken kaarage pieces, rice, Japanese pickles. Priced at $7.99/each
When I was in Honolulu last week, a must visit is Foodland Farms, a regional grocery store w/ locations throughout the islands. They are famous for their poke bar w/ dozens of options + their hot food bentos. At the Ala Moana store, there's a wine bar INSIDE the store where I had dinner one night.
In an overlooked decision this week, the Supreme Court ruled that the post office can refuse to deliver your mail, which is KIND OF SIGNIFICANT if you choose to mail your ballot.
To do this work, the anti-democracy wing turned to their favorite “black friend,” Clarence Thomas.
Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF
Democrats dropped a bill TODAY to stop private equity's housing takeover. Let's get this done.
"THEY'RE TOO DUMB" says this piece of shit asst professor about black students. Dr. Allyson Friedman (Hunter College CUNY) you are a prime example of everything wrong with academia. You should never be in a position of power or influence and you certainly shouldn't be paid to 'educate' others
This should be a bigger story.
More than 15,000 American farms shut down in 2025.
okay if you could magically become the greatest figure skater in the world for a day and deliver one banger performance that would live on forever, and if you could truly let your freak flag fly to choose ANY music you wanted, what are you skating to
I might do “Black Jack Davy” by Steeleye Span
Lawrence has been swept with reports of possible ICE sightings, including a video that shows people wearing ICE gear handcuffing someone at the corner of 25th and Iowa Streets. lawrenceks.news/4tFwt0F
If you’re wondering all the ways Republicans are terrified of you voting in this year’s midterms, we break down the SAVE America Act & some of its lesser-known but still pernicious terms.

😲 This is THE most amazing thing I've seen this year. (And that's saying something!)
A ResistDance retelling of ICE murdering Renee Good & Alex Pretti enacted through dance‼️😭
Performed by First Amendment Troop in DC. 🤍
In 1854, after watching the federal government deploy 2000 federal troops and spend $40,000 sending Anthony Burns back into slavery, Boston's Amos Adams Lawrence said “we went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.”
If ICE and CBP don't want to be called secret police, then don't wear masks.
If they don't want to be accused of kidnapping, then don't drag people out of cars & houses without warrants.
And if they don't want to be accused of being lawless, then start following the law.
we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad
1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.
Hundreds of kids are still detained.
We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵
Disturbingly detailed analysis of my first rewatch incoming
man I’m sorry to be all corny here but when I see a “the city is beautiful! There’s more to it than homeless people!” I gotta say you know who’s also beautiful? People who have no place to live & are trying to get by in a system that has turned its back on them & if you don’t see that that’s on you
"you might stumble over a whole collective of people resisting in ways you didn't think of. There's a crew of carpenters just going around fixing kicked-in doors. There are tow truck drivers taking cars of detained people away for free...."
Alt text was on maybe 75% of Bsky images when I first joined. Accessibility is still the right thing to do.
You can hit the gear on the left of yr screen, click accessibility, and get Bsky to remind u to use alt text. It's pretty easy ❤️
No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.
Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Read it all please.
Our founders, though deeply flawed, understood that democracy requires an informed citizenry and a government accountable to it people. That’s why the press is the only profession protected by the Constitution. It’s also why autocrats and oligarchs seek to control and destroy it.
It’s day 64 of the ICE occupation of MSP.
Today ICE officers once again arrested observers at gunpoint, caused lockdowns of neighborhood schools, and harassed people on the street simply for their skin color.
Nothing has changed, despite the rhetoric from “leaders.”
In this week's edition of: "I didn't know one could protest in so many ways:"
More than 60 Drummers 🥁 coordinated throughout downtown Minneapolis to play on different street corners and share a unified message that they want ICE out of their city. 🪘🙌🏻
I love their laugh at the end. 😍
TEXT: I spent a couple hours last night, and a couple more today, reviewing countless photos from the massive protests around the country on Friday. Few people grasp the size, spread, and significance of these protests led by high school and college students. Legacy media can't adequately cover these events (even if they wanted to) so I'm going to give it a shot. To see spontaneous and organic protests organized by young people is to behold collective joy. I've reviewed thousands of images and videos. You don't see a single student scrolling their phone. They are living in the present and exuberant. They link arms, hug, and support each other.
Good morning... Not sure if folks can read the full post by Mark linked here since it's on FedBook but if you can, it's worth it to kick off a new week: www.facebook.com/mark.provost...
