These are amazing exchanges. A Times reporter hypes Trump’s deranged NYT interview by complaining about the access they got from Joe Biden and then when faced with what he’s admitting, he pretends he’s not saying what he’s saying.

Access journalism is cancer. Reporters shouldn’t be groupies.

For 248 years the streets of America didn’t feature a roving masked federal kidnapping squad that might send you a Central American death camp or just murder you themselves, but getting rid of it now is some impossible lefty fantasy that professional Democrats lamentably must struggle against.
Classic Democratic no-win. All of them voted against the OBAA, which supercharged ICE funding and hiring. But they won't say they'd "abolish ICE" so they'll get yelled at (mostly by people who'll vote for them in the midterms after threatening not to).
Top Democrats decline to say if they would rein in ICE after Minnesota shooting

Just a reminder that this administration has decided to deploy CBP on deportation missions *because* they have historically been more aggressive and violent. The violence is the point.

Every Democratic org and journalist outlet still on Twitter is an accomplice to child porn proliferation. Maybe like...get off the platform, especially if you're not even getting engagement.

Why is there zero movement on this by any Dem lawmakers, Dem-aligned groups, or progressive activists
I reached out to the sponsors of the Take It Down Act and the Kids Online Safety Act, all of whom maintain a daily active presence on X. I noticed that most of them continue to post on X officially despite getting little to no engagement on their posts.

Why isn't there a bigger Grok boycott?
Advertisers, politicians, and investors are still all-in on X, despite a sexual abuse crisis.

I reached out to more than three dozen X advertisers, xAI investors, politicians, and government agencies about the growing library of sexualized deepfakes generated with Grok—now including Renee Good. I only heard back from four, with three declining to comment.

I just watched two women get kidnapped right in front of me in Northeast Minneapolis.

ICYMI: Avelo Airlines, based out of Houston, is cutting ties with ICE and won't run deportation flights barely a year after making a deal with the agency. Here's my report- www.chron.com/culture/arti...

Avelo ran deportation flights for Immigrations and Customs Enforcement for less than a year.

According to my sources, the FBI was initially open to a concurrent investigation with the MN Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (the state agency that would do this investigation).

Trumpy U.S. Attorney Daniel Rosen heard about this and intervened, barring the FBI from cooperating with local police.
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Minnesota investigators say they can't access evidence after fatal ICE shooting and FBI won't work jointly on probe.

I hate to break it to you, but heavily-armed government militias are roaming unchecked through US cities and shooting human rights observers dead in the streets. That's happening in our country.

The sheer number of videos of the shooting is horrific, but in the vein of what @prisonculture.bsky.social has been saying, it proves how many people cared enough to show up where ICE was and record them. It wasn't just one or two legal observers, and when Good was shot, they didn't abandon her.

Palantir will be used to identify domestic Trump critics soon enough.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.

This could be you.

one takeaway from the grok noncon porn thing is that much of the media just isn't interested in an issue they can't pretend has two sides or that doesn't give them an opportunity to shit on the left. Also it would be uncomfortable to justify remaining on twitter after acknowledging it

we've got some ICE shit going down in our little town today and it took like three minutes for a convoy of wine moms to start chasing them around town. normies hate this shit and are putting in the work

counterargument: Boston Dynamics has been making the same four legged metal dog since the 90s with only marginal improvements. They can put a gun on it, sure. But if you threw marbles on the ground like a Looney Tunes character, it would fall over and kibby out on the floor
Mark my words - Boston Dynamics, and other companies like them, will make superhuman robots that will be used by governments to suppress their citizens.

oil companies are worth $100 billion more than they were a couple days ago. there are reasons
It’s genuinely wild that the United States spent decades building an elaborate rules-based international order which de facto cemented its permanent status as the dominant global hegemon, sustained by ideology rather than might, and now is just blowing it all up for literally no reason

Speaking of “why many women and others who aren’t cis white guys are feeling REAL reluctant to pivot to creating video at this EXACT point in history where AI makes it crazy easy for bad actors to steal and exploit our faces”
“If a woman dares to show herself in public in any way, then she can and will be sexually harassed with the aid of genAI-driven tools that can easily turn her face into highly realistic pornography” is an absolute red-alarm human rights disaster
The end goal of Grok sexual harassment is to make women afraid to be visible. It’s a punishment for daring to exist in a way the perpetrators can’t control. There’s no one solution to this, because the problem isn’t just technological. It’s cultural. It’s misogyny. This is just one expression of it.
