a graph of year-on-year change in US tech employment

The IDF just ordered the *entirety of south Lebanon* to be forcibly displaced.
They are emptying the land of its population, creating a massive crisis, and will now proceed to further annihilate large parts of Lebanon.
The very nation state of Lebanon is being destroyed.
Not enough people are talking about this:
Donald Trump is suing his OWN administration for $10 BILLION in taxpayer dollars.
NEW: Hundreds of Palestinians gathered 800 meters from the yellow line at Abu Hussein School in the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza Strip to celebrate the first day of Ramadan together despite what Fouad Al-Mallah said was "the hardship, confinement, and lack of resources we face."

Unmarked car, no lights or police insignia. Masked armed men leap out. Victim not in the act of committing any crime. This is not how a serious federal law enforcement agency acts in a free society.
How is this not supposed to be a “right wing paramilitary force loyal to the regime”?
Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."
Incredible. Millions are newly-mobilized, questioning how their taxes are being used to hurt their neighbors.
Republicans are in a terrible position.
Democrats have huge leverage.
And they may just go ahead and give DHS more money — as long as they slap on a few rules DHS is already not following.

Raskin: "I think the people have Minnesota have shown us with their mass demonstration and general strike the direction that we may need to go in nationally in order to send the message that American society does not accept this authoritarian derailment of the US Constitution."
15 years ago I borrowed a bulletproof vest from a reporter so I could report from a war zone. I held onto it after I returned.
Last week the reporter finally asked for it back because he is headed to Minneapolis.
Leading up to that.. Eric Lee Atty
Kids screaming "Let us out! Let us out!"
Protester in Minneapolis just before disappearing in gas: "Fuck you! Stop. Damn! I'm 70 years old and I'm fuckin' angry!"
there are so many gutting stories, but this one is hitting me extra hard. just imagining wael tarabishi slowly dying without his dad there to care for him because he was jailed by ICE makes me…i don’t have words. this country is disgusting.
Gaza was the test, and Europe failed miserably.
The reason why I am so confident Europe will bend the knee is because no one running those countries cares about anything but their own slice of power and whatever fantasies they still hold about European excellence.
Pretty damn easy to provide moral clarity if you have morals!
Today I was Kidnapped By ICE - Dawokefarmer
Grok is so much worse than you think.
To say a bit what people’s lives are like: both of my kids’ schools have chats that are connected to the parents and neighbors patrolling school grounds observing for ICE.
