NY teen smoking a joint, talking on the phone on her way to school: "I don't want to use AI if I don't even know what it's talking about. I don't want to use it if I don't even understand the basis for what it's saying"

Hold the line, teens!

You probably saw videos of a nighttime raid in Chicago. Agents rappelling from a helicopter, bursting down doors, questioning brown-skinned immigrants.

We investigated -- and found little evidence to support the government’s claims about Tren de Aragua.

New from 404 Media: ICE plans to spend as much as $180 million on bounty hunters to physically locate and stalk immigrants. I spoke to multiple private investigators/skip tracers. Some horrified. Others said they will do this work. "Money is money."

I love when people use that canva flyer template with a “queer witchy rave with wellness tents” vibe, only to share, say, a list of food pantries for people whose snap has been cut off, or a blood drive at the office

It really is déjà vu because they did the same exact thing months ago, and years ago, never with the slightest personal consequences. Schumer will feast lavishly tonight, maybe even at the same dinner party as his Republican "opponents."
God the number of times I have been through this with the same damned bus of clowns in the senate. They need to go.

Literally the one place in the country where Democrats got their clock cleaned was in the home county of state chair who refused to endorse Mamdani and has generally overseen a string very poor democratic performances.
Has New York Democratic Party chairman Jay Jacobs resigned over Mamdani yet? I hope he hasn't, so that he can instead resign over *improving Republican margins over Trump 2024 in an anti-Republican wave election*. Trump won Nassau by just 4%—now look at this bloodbath

Cops arrested my elementary school teacher in front of the class for unpaid tickets. This is the country we live in
I think this is a legitimately important question for the future of the polity. People whose first memories are under authoritarian regimes often end up scarred and skeptical of government authority for life. It will be tricky to convince some of these toddlers that government can be good
How many kids first experience of the state will be of masked men grabbing people?
