Just a completely insidious action here. Preying on people’s kindness in order to arrest them.
CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

Powerful stuff. Keep standing against ICE.
Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

Both-sidesing whether slavery was bad is not only disqualifying intellectually, it’s also pretty desperate as well.
Physically incapable of analyzing politics outside of this insipid frame.

Anthropic is even more sinister than I realized and—in my reading—found another way to trample copyright law.
When Anthropic stopped training on books that were literally pirated, they managed to hit on the one way of buying books that means no money goes to authors: buying used books.

This is absolutely right. Horror films can’t even match the horrors of the Epstein files.
Been thinking that I’ve been reading and watching horror, all of my life, and barely any of it really gets close to the depravity of the crimes outlined in the Epstein files.
People who make a living imagining the most depraved of human behavior, rarely get even close to what those people did.

What if we prosecuted them instead? Where do you draw the line when it comes to stripping people of their citizenship?
Democrats should promise, today, that Melania Trump, Elon Musk and Peter Thiel will be stripped of citizenship and deported if the administration advances this effort
cool, cool. so we are sort of like citizens, but not really?

So grandma, when authoritarianism came, what did the media do?
Well, honey, they framed everything as a battle between two sides, and never actually said one side was undermining the rule of law, damaging institutions, and creating a new Fash Tech Oligarchy™️ that was unaccountable to the people.

I want to mention a tiny bit of good news. The Raleigh suburb where I used to live, Holly Springs, will vote to enact Wake County’s Nondiscrimination ordinance. Four years ago, people were laughing and calling us the “rainbow mafia,” but we never gave up (1/3)

And just think of all the people in the audience who raised their hands afterwards and said, “I have more of a comment than a question.”
If Bad Bunny can cover the history of Puerto Rico, colonialism, transatlantic slavery, hemispheric consciousness, as well as contemporary life and politics in under 14 minutes, you can do your 15- or 20-minute conference presentation with time to spare.

This is an amazing half time special with profound depth and deep cultural layers.
Well done, Bad Bunny.

I guess evangelical leaders have given up on the idea that rock-and-roll music is bad. Franklin Graham has decided to roll with the guy who supports statutory rape, partying, drinking, and doing drugs.

During a semester abroad, we had like two hours in Haworth. A friend and I ran full tilt out to Top Withins and back—eight miles round trip. I was not prepared for that kind of endurance run, but what a great experience.
