That's insane. I mean everyone knows that's insane – right?
With this budget, ICE alone would have nearly as large a detention operation as all 50 states' prison systems combined. Bigger budget than the Marine Corps. Police-state levels of spending
If the GOP reconciliation bill passes, ICE gets through FY2029:

- $45 billion for detention, on top of the current annual budget of $3.4 billion
- $14.4 billion for transportation and removal, on top of the current annual budget of $750 million
- $8 billion for hiring/retention
- Billions more.

I’d love for this insane post to generate 1/3 the coverage that Biden’s debate debacle generated.
Trump just reposted on TruthSocial that Joe Biden was executed in 2020 and was replaced by "clones, doubles, and robotic engineered soulless mindless entities."

The "Detrumpify Yourself" app, also known as "Detrumpez Vous!", is a free, open-source application primarily used in France to identify products with hidden US ownership.

Europeans are boycotting American products and it’s working.

This notion, that there always has to be a large underclass of people who aren’t well educated and just do manual work for the rest of us, is called “Mudsill Theory.”
I bristled yet again at what the Party of Lincoln has become.

Stop the @bsky.app bashing. We’re all under a tremendous strain. We’re not perfect. I block when I need to, but ignore most foolishness.

Don’t become goaded into leaving a platform that’s doing almost all the right things.

To organize for 2026, we need to stay in communication w/each other.

None of the official ABC tweets or clips from the Trump interview tonight feature the most important clip of all: a demented Trump repeatedly and falsely claiming, and seeming bizarrely to believe, that Albrego Garcia literally had the letters and numbers MS13 on his knuckles.

Generative AI is melting our only planet.

Don’t use it.

ChatGPT wastes 10x the amount of water as Google.

And last year, Google was in talks to purchase 8 nuclear reactors in order to power their own AI.

This is not sustainable.

Stop using it today. It’s literal Earth Day.

Foreign Friends with Travel Plans to the U.S. for Conventions:

A bit back I said you should maybe reconsider those plans.

I would like to amend my prior statement.

Cancel them. Cancel them now. We cannot keep you safe from our own government. Take your holiday in Spain or something.
