23 year old Ruben Ray Martinez’s last words? “I’m sorry sir”.
ICE shot him 3 times and killed him.
Renee Good’s last words? “It’s ok I’m not mad”.
Alex Pretti’s last words? “Are you ok?”
These are the people DHS calls domestic terrorists. Threats. Aggressors.
Abolish ICE
"bets made among the staff over which detainee would be next to die by suicide." apnews.com/article/suic...
Worth watching the whole clip, but purely in propaganda terms it seems to me, admittedly just an amateur observer when it comes to war fighting, that it may be useful to send the message to the 91+ million Iranian civilians that we are not trying to kill them.
Scenes from a personalist regime: it is the presidential vibes that determine when the opponent has surrendered and when the war is over, not any pesky observable facts
“Anthropic has much more in common with the Department of War than we have differences” is a genuinely stunning statement given current events both at home and abroad
My entire journalistic career, editors & owners & bosses told me again & again that my stuff was too long, too in-depth, too wonky, no one would read it.
Again & again, readers flocked to the longer, wonkier pieces, passed them around, wrote me to thank me for them, cited them years later.
Still wild to me that if you take the AirTrain from the terminal to pick up a rental car at Federal Circle it's free, but if you take it to the subway or LIRR it costs an ever-increasing amount of money.
It's hilarious that "working class" now applies exclusively to the racist failsons of regional car dealership owners but every unemployed trans person is an "elite".
Now that they're trying to pretend their war is not a war, they've gone back to calling it the Defense Department.
An entirely unserious position from Schlossberg:
- There is no funding available to fix these complexes via Section 9, which is why they're in the state they are in.
- These buildings are nearly a century old and in terrible condition.
- Rebuilding is actually *cheaper* than repair
Perfect illustration of how the "podcasters are turning on Trump" narrative is bullshit. These guys still want the camps to churn out black smoke, they just don't want to see video of how the bodies get there.
What does this imply for those of us who are not Christian, and who labor under the assumption that we're protected by the First Amendment?

The US appears to be one of the few countries backsliding on "is homosexuality acceptable", which Pew and others picked up in recent years.
Here is 2025 compared to a Pew survey in 2013. The US fell from +27 to +21 (-6).
Comparatively
Mexico: +18
Brazil: +17
UK: +9
Italy: +19
Japan: +38
ROK: +8
Justice for Izabela! A Polish court has sentenced three doctors to prison over the 2021 death of Izabela from sepsis during a 22-week miscarriage, after doctors refused to help. "This was a case involving extraordinary negligence, a pure disregard for the most basic and fundamental medical duties."
We need to pass a House rule or law that requires them to work a certain number of days to get paid. Since Mike Johnson took over these people hardly ever work. When they finally come back after weeks off they work 2 days and he sends them home for 2 more weeks. It’s ridiculous.
Wow: In the early vote, it's a blow-out *so far*.
Rodney Sadler, the progessive pastor and activist, leads state Representative Carla Cunningham 75% to 18%.
(Stay tuned as we see how the Election Day vote compares, but that's an ominous start for the incumbent.)
Context:
Trump could never have foreseen when he’d start his own war of aggression
This gives away the whole game, as people have been warning for years and years. This is identity erasure of a whole class. the precedents for having documents revoked by group…are not good.
Not going to see this kind of thing from CNN much longer
Remember, the war with Iran is necessary because it’s unacceptable to have aggressive governments run by theocratic lunatics launching unprovoked attacks on the rest of the world
As Kagan notes in her dissent, the Court opted not to hear the due process parental rights argument against bans on gender-affirming medical care in Skrmetti, basically setting up a regime where parents can force their trans children back into the closet but cannot help them out of it
Who needs reporters
If you are a client of a firm that folded in this fight, you should know that not only were they morally wrong, but they were also strategically dumb www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...
Genuinely astonishing how clueless The Times when it comes to everything about DIYing - in particular the scale at which it is happening. Literally, what did they expect? People can't stop being trans.
Streeting must know - but his preference is that trans people die in private not live in public.
We've reached the unethical human experiments stage of fascism.
Trump administration officials acknowledged in closed-door briefings with congressional staff that there was no intelligence suggesting Iran planned to attack US forces first, two people familiar with the matter said reut.rs/46ybyTg
Seems like the emerging policy is: you people out there are responsible for setting up your own governments, but if the US doesn’t like who ends up in charge we’ll just assassinate or kidnap them and then the ball is back in your court.
The NYT style guide
"American innovation" now refers to making a kind of atrocity cronut by combining insider trading with war crimes.
