We've all seen the videos of ICE pulling people out of their cars, shooting citizens with pepper balls, and even worse killing Americans in the streets.
This is not normal. And it cannot continue.
ICE needs commonsense guardrails NOW.

Oooooof. That's certainly not what you want to see when you're in a distant third in your senate primary.

You may disagree, but if the heads of our military don’t trust Trump to be in the Situation Room because he’s erratic, unfit, or dangerous…HE SHOULD NOT BE PRESIDENT!

Opening text of a thread by Palantir from X Because we get asked a lot. The Technological Republic, in brief. 1. Silicon Valley owes a moral debt to the country that made its rise possible. The engineering elite of Silicon Valley has an affirmative obligation to participate in the defense of the nation. 2. We must rebel against the tyranny of the apps. Is the iPhone our greatest creative if not crowning achievement as a civilization? The object has changed our lives, but it may also now be limiting and constraining our sense of the possible. 3. Free email is not enough. The decadence of a culture or civilization, and indeed its ruling class, will be forgiven only if that culture is capable of delivering economic growth and security for the public. 4. The limits of soft power, of soaring rhetoric alone, have been exposed. The ability of free and democratic societies to prevail requires something more than moral appeal. It requires hard power, and hard power in this century will be built on software.
Palantir put out a 22-point summary of their CEO's book The Technological Republic. It's pitched as a defence of the West, but if you read it through the VDA framework, verification, deliberation, accountability, what it's actually doing looks rather different.

Yet another sad reminder that there is a two-tiered justice system in America: One for the rich. Another for everyone else.
Iran fired at a tanker in the Strait of Hormuz early Saturday after reimposing restrictions on the waterway in response to a U.S. blockade on Iranian ports.
The only president or major party candidate in half a century not to disclose his tax returns—who fought for years, at taxpayer expense, to keep them private, and lost—now wants the IRS to MORE THAN DOUBLE HIS NET WORTH at taxpayer expense as a part of the systematic pillaging he calls a presidency.
Congratulations Tom Steyer for receiving the most highly coveted endorsement a California Democrat could hope for.
Anne Hathaway bought the rights to a novel about a tradwife influencer who wakes up in 1855 and has to actually live the life she's been selling online. The book is called Yesteryear. It came out 3 days ago. The film rights were already sold to Hathaway, who will produce and star.
Holy shit, I have NEVER been more excited for a movie.
To be clear, @contrapoints.bsky.social believes that unlike Ethan Klein and Asmongold, *she* can #debatebro @hasanabirepeater.bsky.social into "admitting" that the people who withheld their vote to punish the centrists are the selfish ones.
Not... you know... the entire Democratic Establishment...
The #DNC isn't fighting harder to bury the #2024Autopsy than they are at releasing OR burying the Trump Files ft. Jeffrey Epstein to protect @kamalaharris.com.
They're *throwing* @kamalaharris.com under the bus to protect the overpaid advisors who gave us Trump again.

The idea that universities ”tend to exclude conservative intellectual traditions” is off base on two fronts: 1) how are “conservative intellectual traditions” relevant to the most of the popular majors and faculty research areas, such as computer science, engineering, the natural sciences?/1
The original meme was "gun to your head, name one thing Stalin did wrong".
Which makes it very hard to understand why she thinks Hillary Clinton makes it better, I guess her new intended audience is... libs who hate tankies but *stroke* leftists *another stroke*.
So... yeah, self-stroking libs.

When you try to "own the tankies" by memeing about 2 genocides and no one can figure out what you were "allegedly" trying to say.

Reminder to anyone who needs to hear it:
If you let someone convince you that you need to watch all the videos from all the angles of the US government murdering good people so you can argue about it with 4x Trumpers, they have already won.
Only good people get emotionally exhausted doing this.
IMPORTANT: Under federal law, it's very hard, at times near-impossible, to sue federal law enforcement officers for civil rights violations. But legal theorists have said for decades that there is a possible way to sue under state law instead.
This is a VERY big test case.

Political cartoon showing an hour glass filled with authoritarian (literal) heads of state. The head of Victor Orban is at the bottom of the hour glass. His time has run out. Still in the top of the hour glass, but beginning to drip into the bottom are the head of Trump, Putin, and (I think?) Netanyahu.

Viktor Orban loses election
If Hungary can get rid of its autocrat, America can too

Am I being too paranoid, or we've seen this movie before outside of Hungary, where a charismatic leader is ordered to leave the Autocratic Government that is losing popularity and starts a new one, then campaigns every day for years?
The Woefully Out of Touchness of it all. #WNBA
