stop using AI to do your research. it hallucinates too often. if you want an answer to something, post something arrogant on the appropriate subreddit. something like: "this item performs 10% better than everything else. only idiots deny this." this will bait nerds into doing your research for you.

we didn't finish denazification. we didn't finish desegregation. we didn't finish reconstruction. every opportunity for transformative change was deliberately sabotaged by american leaders who knew their wealth would not survive a world freed from eugenics, white supremacy, and war profiteering.
people do understand that the nuremberg trials were largely show trials to distract from the fact that the US was poaching any high profile nazis that were beneficial to their cause & that denazification in the west sectors didn't really take off

signal group chats are roughly as secure as the least secure device anyone in the group chat is running
this makes a smallish signal group chat pretty good and a 1000+ person signal group chat secure until the feds collar one of the people in it
it is much better than alternatives

I think it is *incredibly* irresponsible for someone like @stonekettle.bsky.social, with a huge following, to claim that Signal is just as insecure as texts or other public social media.
This is a classic “making perfect the enemy of the good” error.

My religion has many in it who celebrate cruelty, domination, and inflicting suffering on others as a central tenet of their faith. To do so is heresy of the highest order, and justice will come to them.

If you want proof that Trump is going to try to rig the elections, here it is:
In a letter to Gov. Tim Walz Saturday, Bondi claimed that Walz could “restore the rule of law” by complying with a list of demands, including giving the Department of Justice (DOJ) the state’s voter registration records.

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

killing white observers in the street in broad daylight is an escalation. countering the regime’s narratives by describing these observers as innocent does not necessarily mean you think innocence is the only reason to mourn them or be worried about the escalation

Who in their right mind believes statements from the Department of Homeland Security?
Who believes anything Kristi Noem or Stephen Miller or Trump might say about what has just happened in Minneapolis?
They no longer have any credibility. That should be clear by now.

I wrote something for Politico about the real issue with Greg Bovino's overcoat. IMO, it isn't about whether the overcoat is tied to any particular regime, but about how immigration enforcement has become increasingly warlike in terms of strategy, discourse, and dress. 🧵

A rarity in our household. Both cats (Bee on left, Jinx on right) snuggled up to each other. It didn't last long. Jinx tolerated it while Bee purred. Both got scritches before the picture was snapped. Bee departed soon after the photo was taken.

This will be a defining moment for the ordinary liberal. It’s an incredible opportunity to shift well-meaning people away from credulous analysis based on what people in power *say* to analysis based on what systems, structures, and institutions *actually do.”
I broke down the ICE “reforms” being proposed by Dem leadership. tl;dr: They totally avoid touching ICE’s funding, in key ways actually increase ICE funding and instead focus on meaningless busywork like “body cams” and “more training”.

Thesis: ICE is un-American and the Minneapolis protestors are real Americans.
Antithesis: Ackshually ICE is operating in a long American tradition of racist terror.
Synthesis: Minneapolis is now the epicenter of a clash between two distinct but historically grounded American political traditions.
