The Trump administration says ICE targets "the worst of the worst." But what does the arrest data actually show? The numbers tell a very different story. 🧵
You talked to one source who told you that Mojtaba Khamenei was the most dangerous man in the world. Why did he say that? This was a guy who had actually studied with Mojtaba Khamenei when they were students together. And his memory of studying with Mojtaba was that the guy was laser-focused on the end of the world, apocalyptic questions. And he thought that Iran had kind of a mission from God to bring about the end of the world.
A group of religious zealots in the US government see the bombing of Iran as part of their God’s plan to bring about the apocalypse, and their actions have resulted in Iran appointing a new leader who sees his historical mission as bringing about the end of the world. So it’s all going to plan.
Altman reveals that his business model is the same as the pay phone.
This is not how intelligence works. It can’t be metered out in portions.

"The firm fired Cure for a note she apparently wrote on Skype to her office manager after an interview with a black job candidate. The note, which was photographed and went viral, read, "I specifically said no blacks. I’m not a prejudiced person, but our clients are 90 percent white, and I need to cater to them, so that interview was a complete waste of my time.” The note was sent to Denise Bradley, a prolific content creator on TikTok who at the time used the handle auntkaren0 and raised awareness about racism."
For context, before the quote in the screencap, the case started because the employer sued her for promissory notes she'd signed for money she borrowed from her employer. She countersued over the firing on various theories mostly having to do with the firm retaining her clients. "Finra held Cure liable for $122,574.08 in compensatory damages for the two notes, plus interest in the amount of $45,324.73. She was also ordered to pay 9% interest annually from the award date through and including the date of payment of the award, to pay $13,300 in Finra fees and to pay $640,305.90 in attorneys’ fees. Cure also has to pay LPL $15,000 in fees and costs for a motion to sanction, filed by LPL, that she did not show up for, according to the award document."
Today in FAFO news, a financial advisor was fired after an egregiously racist violation of employment law she put in writing was publicized by an antiracist TikToker. Details and hilarious outcome from a FINRA arbitration over the fallout in the attachments.
According to FBI stats, the most dangerous places for assault and stranger rape are parking lots and parking garages.
Which, you know, are essential components of car travel not transit. No one walks through an empty parking garage when they take transit.
The secretary of transportation thinks the NYC subway is “the metro?”
Impeach the cowardly ignorant fucker.
Too often I think we view misogyny through the lens of women’s responsibility—do women cause misogyny, how can women avoid misogyny, how can we blame women, always—instead of recognizing that there is literally no way to opt out of or avoid misogyny entirely, because our whole society is built on it

You know the term "dudes rock"? Shoresy is like if that phrase came to life. Here, at last, is the positive vision of masculinity everyone says they're looking for! The guys on this show are *guys* -- deeply, deeply dudes, cussing, obsessing over girls, bad at articulating their feelings ...

The SSA's inspector general notified the leaders of several House+Senate committees Mar. 6 that it’s reviewing anonymous complaint "on matters relating to the potential misuse of SSA data by a former DOGE employee,” according to a letter obtained by NPR.

Now’s a good time to read up on the 1928 Red Line agreement, revised in 1947/48, underpinning the profound sense of entitlement U.S. companies feel towards oil in the Middle East

That spike on the left is Putin’s.
The one on the right is Trump’s.
Without their wars, it’s a very steady line, the kind that businesses, investors and ordinary people like.

I asked President Trump about the FBI reportedly seizing election records in Arizona. He said they must have done that because it was a “rigged” election. I pointed out to him that his own AG said there was not measurable voter fraud to overturn that election. Then he called me a rotten reporter.

Trump, incoherent in most things, has shown a flair for picking precisely the worst person possible for job after job: Burgum, in this case...but Hegseth, Noem, Bondi, Patel, RFK, Jr., McMahon, Bessent, Zeldin, Duffy, Miller, Homan...not just bad people, the least fit for the jobs they were given.
Maybe "financially literate" isn't what Americans are looking for regarding our public lands that we have preserved for generations...
Great reporting here by the @washingtonpost.com on the school strike.
One interesting point the article speculates as to why the school might have been hit that it was "next to an arms depot."
www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
Underrated point that bears noting: “Negotiators from the seven Colorado River basin states for more than two years have tried to agree on a plan to split up the river’s water, but so far they have failed. The river’s current operation guidelines expire at the end of the calendar year.”
The Trump administration's public position on the Hormuz Crisis is "hopefully in the next few weeks."
This honestly might shake the global economy even harder than the outbreak of COVID.
For fun, I will tell you a story about Tommy The Elder, her father. (Her brother, Tommy The Younger was also mayor of Baltimore.) Anyway, years after he retired from politics older Mayor Tommy was still the Democratic precinct campaign in Little Italy, the neighborhood from whence the D'Alesandros..
