I'd really like to see leadership calling for impeachment and removal, regardless of whether they have the votes to get it done. Same way we called for marriage equality before we had the votes. A leader's job is to lead. If a genocidal threat isn't impeachable, then nothing is.

How the media must cover this madman president My three suggestions—with illustrations—since 'sane-washing' is far too mild a term

"The press, because of its own conventions and time-honored practices, normalizes him, and thus fails to get across the extreme nature of this president’s behavior. Ten years of sane-washing have had their effect. He remains in power, reelected, undeterred."

Truth from @sulliview.bsky.social

We sure are off the rails.

Can we just agree that “Less Than a Cup of Coffee” is no longer a good marketing hook?

K, thanks. <3

have you seen the new supply chain vuln? don't update tubu. it's literally on heebee. they got poodee's deps. they infiltrated dippy. roll back weeno. disable scripts in ~/.gumpyrc. it's in poob. do not install poob. do not update poob. uninstall poob right now. poob has it in for you.

Code is no longer your moat.

Know-how for basic & medium-complexity products isn’t either. They’re both being rapidly commoditized by LLMs.

Defensible territory in software: regulated markets, unique data access, unique distribution.

Others?

Deploying ICE at airports is to normalize their transition from being a special operation targeting immigrants to being an entity that polices all.

This is the production of the American Gestapo, one institution at a time.

We have been here before, and we know what to do. RESIST!

Summary of HN discussion 🧵👇

I'm Kat Abughazaleh and I'm running for Congress.

Someone suggested that AI coding agent prompts should spark joy.

We’re answering in realtime the question of what a dim group of 6-year-olds would do with the reigns on world power.

And there is still such a thing as a “style reporter,” apparently.

Only art seems able to bridge these gaps.

This is Nathan Cavanaugh, another DOGE staffer explaining how he flagged grants at NEH for "DEI" which would be reviewed for termination. 404 Media has reviewed hours of this footage and we'll have more soon.

Rx Inspector: ProPublica’s New Tool Provides Drug Info the FDA Won’t We’ve launched a first-of-its-kind app to help you find out where your generic drugs come from and see the track records of the factories that made them.

Our pill lookup app provides the most detailed look yet at the makers of America’s drugs and whether they’ve met manufacturing standards meant to keep us safe.

Here’s how to use it.

We don’t need talkers right now. We need fighters.

And no matter how many times they knock me down, I’ll get back up and fight with you. Every. Single. Time.

Congress Is Considering Abolishing Your Right to Be Anonymous Online The bipartisan push to remove anonymity from the internet is ushering in an era of unprecedented mass surveillance and censorship.

You should be able to criticize your government anonymously online.

Full stop.

"Age verification" legislation is just a pretty name for "forced online ID checks," meaning everything you post is associated with your government name

We have to stop this.

Transgender People, “Gay Conversion,” and “Lesbian Extinction”: What the Data Show A couple days ago (on Christmas, actually), The Telegraph ran a piece with the provocative title: “Lesbians facing ‘extinction’ as…

since The Atlantic is apparently reviving the "a was a feminine gay child, but if I was a kid today they would have 'transed' me" trope, here's an essay I wrote back in 2020 explaining why this is not true & there is no evidence to support it: juliaserano.medium.com/transgender-...

Maybe there’s an analog to building construction…

scripts :: toddler block towers
personal programs :: lincoln log towns
simple software for $ :: single-family home
regulated data/activity :: commercial building
medical :: skyscraper

Inspect the guts of lincoln log cabins? No.

Skyscrapers? Much.

They are going down the list of amendments now. And the entire ICE action is the most obvious violation of the Fourth Amendment this country has ever seen.

A Black Teen Died Over a $12 Shoplifting Attempt. 13 Years Later, Two Men Plead Guilty in His Killing. 16-year-old Corey Stingley died from asphyxiation after being pinned down by customers in a convenience store. Under a special agreement, the family of the teen finally feels that “truth, understandin...

“We sought not vengeance, but acknowledgement — of Corey’s life, his humanity, and the depth of our loss,” the Stingley family wrote.

“We believe this agreement honors Corey’s memory and offers a model of how people can come together, even after profound harm, to seek understanding and healing.”

Where Was My Generic Prescription Drug Made? - Rx Inspector - ProPublica The FDA won’t tell Americans where their generic drugs are made, so ProPublica did it instead. Use information on your prescription label to locate the factory and see inspection reports.

The Machinery of Terror | Chris Hedges The Trump administration is consolidating the familiar machinery of terror of all authoritarian states. We must resist now. If we wait, it will be too late.

He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.

My anger at having to stand outside my kid’s school for two hours to ensure none of their classmates, parents, or teachers get kidnapped by my own government is only slightly tempered by the amazing outpouring of support from other parents and especially neighbors who stand against this bullshit.

“Riots Raging”: The Misleading Story Fox News Told About Portland Before Trump Sent Troops After reviewing coverage from the network and hours of social media videos that preceded Trump’s decision, ProPublica found that Fox’s portrayal of “Portland rioters” routinely instigating violence wa...

ProPublica examined months of Fox News’ coverage and reviewed over 700 videos posted on social media.

The network used five-year-old footage, mislabeled other dates and implied footage from elsewhere was in Portland.

Taxpayers and charities helped develop Zolgensma. Then it debuted at a record price, ushering in a new class of wildly expensive drugs.

Its story upends the widely held conception that high prices reflect huge industry investments in innovation.
