A drawing in pencil of various human noses – drawn around 1831 by a teenaged Charlotte Brontë, who was born on this day (21 April) in West Yorkshire in 1816 🗃️
They keep stealing shit from the people they detain. Remember how they took that kid’s cell phone and sold it for cash? Just straight up lawless gangsters
This story is insane. Married an American, arrested at her greencard interview, flown out of state, nearly killed multiple times when her diabetes was ignored and then mistreated. When she finally got out? Found out her credit card had been used illegally. www.daylightsandiego.org/san-diego-wo...
I wish this thread were an essay!
That said, far better analysis than folks telling you that the recent rulings are going to destroy the internet.
8 million No Kings protesters
Zero police officers beaten
Zero police officers killed
Zero feces smeared on walls.
A package of KFC “colonel’s favorite jellybeans” with fried chicken, sweet corn, and gravy flavors
Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should
this goes for so much of the right wing ecosystem. the same guys who scream “DEI hire” would sink to the ocean if they weren’t kept afloat by their far right sugar daddies
What’s really great about this? Is that just the other week I said to someone that AI generated videos weren’t really going to take off with users. I cited that no one was even talking about Sora anymore after its big splashy launch and the other person said “what’s Sora?”
The family’s water was undrinkable: It corroded taps. It withered plants. Their ice maker expelled clumps of salt.
But why was this happening? For two years, Oklahoma delayed basic tests that could help them find out.

Anyone else think it's highly inappropriate for the defense secretary to say "in the name of Jesus Christ" while he's doing a briefing about the U.S. killing people?
“‘Americans do not consent to biometric data collection simply by walking down a public street, entering a café, or standing in a crowd,’ the senators told Zuckerberg. Yet, the deployment of this technology would appear to do exactly that…”
I want to be clear that a load bearing pillar of fighting fascism is exactly this
This is your criminal government, Americans. A rogue bandit state stealing Venezuela's oil, massacring Iranian schoolgirls and now planning to "take" Cuba because Trump says "I can do anything I want with it."
Patriotic Americans must end this madness.
It is *fascinating* to me how quickly some people have gone completely from “we all must work in the office! human collaboration is vital and only happens in person!” to “I can replace all these pesky people with chatbots!” Definitely some commentary there about our society and who gets to choose.
A message to AIPAC: stick to funding Laura Fine and Daniel Biss, this is a cheap attempt to smear my name
This is bonkers.
“According to the school district, her daughter’s new student enrollment form was denied due to ‘license plate recognition software showing only Chicago addresses overnight’ in July and August.”
I can't even find the words to express how repugnant and despicable this post is.
People who spew such Islamophobic bile don't belong in the United States Congress. The job of elected officials is to combat hate, not fan its flames. (1/2)
“The bills present the first widespread challenge to the booming $164 billion ed tech industry following a decade in which schools provided laptops to each student.”
Stephen Miller is a toxic substance – a 21st century American version of a Nazi.
Democrats need to make him an issue in the midterms.
My latest.
Who would have guessed that the legal system in America was so fragile that a single crazy president could ignore the whole thing, from the Constitution right down to state laws?
Why does the Supreme Court and Congress let this demented moron act like the dictator of a banana republic?
I didn’t have to use ChatGPT to know it tells you that you’re right even when you’re wrong. I’ve talked to people about their LLM usage, read reporting and studies about it, and seen what people have shared online. The idea that you HAVE to use something yourself to critique it is not always true
The Trump administration is gearing up to kick an estimated six million more people off of food assistance programs — including nearly two million children.
The move would save just $1 billion a year, while Trump spends upwards of $1 billion per *day* on his new forever war.
Priorities.
It would be nice to deport him & his family since he has done it to so many people including people who have been born in this country.
WE STILL DON'T HAVE A CLEAR ANSWER ON THE MOST BASIC QUESTION ABOUT THE IRAN WAR
WHY did the U.S. go to war?
A Popular Information review of public statements over the last 9 days found 17 DIFFERENT EXPLAINATIONS. Many of which contradict each other.
🧵
Today the United States wasted another #1B on an illegal war in Iran, money that could have been spent on funding health care or providing SNAP benefits or cancer research or academic scholarships for minorities. I could go on and on but I think you get my point. #endtheiranwarnow
SHOULD THE U.S BLOT OUT THE SUN AND USHER IN AN AGE OF ETERNAL DARKNESS? - Gallup 2/20/26-3/5/26
NO - 41%
YES - 38%
UNSURE - 21%
Nobody plays the national media like Rahm Emanuel. Here in Chicago, no one is fooled.
Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:
This has nothing to do with the specific content here, but Polymarket adopting the language of news, here with BREAKING, and with Texas election results earlier this week, is BAD. Polymarket is not and will never be a news org or break news. It's a betting app. It's Draft Kings for sociopaths.
