We’re in court today arguing for an emergency motion to stop the Trump-Vance administration’s illegal RIFs during the government shutdown.
We will always defend the civil servants who work every day for the American people.

I guess it would be a tidy form of narrative closure if the first Republican president (Lincoln) saved the union by sending federal troops into states while the last Republican president broke the union by sending federal troops into the states.

In light of Disney’s decisive and direct role in the illegitimate and autocratic suspension of Jimmy Kimmel's show, I have canceled my Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN subscriptions.

Monarez is playing her weak hand perfectly, and should be a model for institutional resistance for the next four years:
1. Make them fire you
2. Don’t go along to get along
3. Don’t apologize, have confidence in your own integrity and the importance of your role
4. Always escalate the conflict

This morning I saw a “sensitive content” warning on a friend’s IG reel. Here are the images I saw: the warning, the explanation…and then the “potentially sensitive” content.
The idea that this is offensive is monstrous. Algorithms are over-indexing on right-wing fragility and suppressing speech.

Same for all the people complaining about basic math errors. Use a calculator MCP server and ai will get 100% of math right. AI needs support tools just like humans do and provided with the right tools it’s genuinely nuts what current models can pull off quite reliably.
