All of these bootlegged copies of the 60 Minutes segment flooding my feed (saying, ‘Watch it quick! Before it disappears!’) makes me feel like I’m in the Soviet Union and just got some black market foreign newspaper I need to hide under a floorboard in my house.

Ok. Now had a chance to check and, well, at least some docs do appear to be straight up classic redaction fail. And there are some *interesting* bits here.

I’m old enough to remember when CBS News would never have surrendered to a demagogic president or any other politician. Remember Edward R. Murrow?

Whether it’s Pete Buttigieg learning to speak eight languages or Donald Trump successfully identifying a giraffe, there’s plenty of intellectual accomplishments on both sides of the aisle.

So, Stefanik just suspended her run for governor of NY and won't seek reelection to her seat in the House.
If the current level of schadenfreude I'm experiencing lasts longer than four hours a TV commercial said I should contact a doctor.

I know someone whose Hispanic cleaner, a citizen, has been stopped by ICE here 4 times. He’s now afraid to leave his abode. For now, most clients continue to pay him.
Waiting for ICE to leave Minnesota!

Jack Smith has requested that Jim Jordan release the entire video of his 8-hour closed-door testimony which he gave this week to the House Judiciary Committee.
Will Jordan release the video to the public?
If not, why not?

So true. . . They don't inspire confidence on dry pavement... I have seen what they do on camera when they accidentally run into your car...
Day 17 of the ICE occupation of the Twin Cities.
Reminder in today’s weather that ICE agents (somewhat ironically) don’t know how to drive in our winter weather.
Be safe out there, and strong in community. We know that we will win.

This is huge. Trump has successfully prosecuted a state official for bucking his racist war on immigrants. If they can get a judge, they can get anyone. Gift article.

I am so thankful to live in the TC... We got troubles, & the extremely rare airborne car punching thru the middle of a bus, but I've been commuting via bus for more than a decade & really never worried...
(zB today many off roads in the icy sleet)
tbh we're not ready for more ice > snow tho.

I have a weird question for the #bird people on here. Do you think someone could tell that a book was pooped on specifically by a sparrowhawk (or perhaps hawks generally) just from the feces? I'm looking at a 16th c. case where witnesses claim books were pooped on specifically by sparrowhawks!

At some point we’ll just admit that white/ non Black journalism and specific journalists are being purposefully racist
And that has shaped and aided fascism
MORE than the actual fascists.
But like never when it will actually help

After Tesla recently showing a Robotaxi with no safety pilot as 'proof' it was fully autonomous (when it was controlled remotely!), California said it's bullshit to advertise FSD and to sort it else they'll BAN sales in the state which is its biggest market!
