A group of Ecuadorian fishermen survived a US drone strike, were detained at gunpoint, phones wiped, ship blown up, disappeared to El Salvador, then released without charge. “They knew we were fishermen. Even the Salvadorian authorities said things had been handled very badly.”
This child is aggressively Italian
Like Trump’s other spurious political proescutions, this is borrowing a page from his private sector penchant for litigation as a weapon to make the target’s life hell. He doesn’t have to win. He gets to publicly smear them & cost them a lot of money & stress even when they ultimately win.
You ever try to code switch at work and fail? 😂
These people have always been all-in on eugenics and have never been shy about engineering death to reach political ends. The pandemic was merely a prelude to what they'll do if we let them.
This is straight-up theft. Totally immoral.
With this stance, McClatchy is effacing the profession of journalism.
You’re asking us to take the social contract to places it’s never been.
Just hit me it's 4/20 day so I'm a just post three episodes of Rick Steves where you can either see him buying locally or toking with the locals in his travels. Coz why tf not...

Just sobbed hardest I have since my mom died in 2020.
She missed these trials by a few months.
One of most ruthless cancers. Hard to fathom that maybe she'd still be here.
I feel such a hole inside.
In case you're wondering if we should fund mRNA research instead of another stupid war ... yes.
"The problem with the manifesto is that Palantir’s worldview and business model are impossible to separate. A world where soft power has real and lasting impact is simply less profitable for a company like Palantir relative to a world where we blow a lot of stuff up."
Highly recommended.
"Elon Musk cooked his brain online. Marc Andreessen and others seemingly struggled with being in virtual spaces where their ideas and status were challenged, and rewired their political beliefs as a form of cope."
Good deep dive into tech broligarchy madness:
“This is an attempted authoritarian overthrow against the United States Constitution and the U.S. government… [Trump] wants to seem strong, but he is not that strong. Organizing against him works. Fighting him in court works. Pushing back works. Protesting in the streets works.”

"they caught a picture of the bullet in flight that didn't kill the president" is some goddamn cyberpunk shit
Holy. Shit. This is Reid Wiseman's video he took with his iPhone while at the moon 🌙
In the pointed words of Bellingcat CEO Eliot Higgins, it's “extremely normal and fine for a company to put this in a public statement.”

For the first time in decades, consensus broke at the UN Commission on the Status of Women. The United States cast the lone “no” vote on a document aimed at improving justice systems for women and girls worldwide. Misogyny is the official policy of the US under Trump.
In case anyone is wondering why the majority of Americans view JD Vance as a vomit-inducing hypocrite and opportunistic piece of shit who stands for NOTHING. 😳👇
Rivers turning orange in the #Arctic? Thawing permafrost + more rainfall are generating acid that’s reshaping #freshwater systems—an unexpected fingerprint of #ClimateChange.

Dave Mathews in a keffiyeh holding up signs that say STOP THE GENOCIDE and STOP KILLING CHILDREN at a concert
This is not a knock on DMB but if you had told me twenty years ago that Dave Mathews would be this outspoken on an issue that Radiohead completely shat the bed on, well... I would've been surprised!
If this actually happens, it may rank as the single most corrupt act in the history of American politics. I cannot believe this is even under discussion.
Utah is not alone in its move to shield polluters from climate accountability. Yesterday, a similar bill was signed into law in Tennessee.
And today, a federal immunity bill was introduced in Congress by Republican Rep. Harriet Hageman

Last month UT became the first state to enact a law prohibiting liability for GHG emissions & climate damages
As one UT enviro advocate told me, "The house is quite literally on fire, & we just extended immunity to the arsonists"

Philosopher Meghan Sullivan feels her years of study have all been leading up to today's AI debates. Some tech developers are finally ready to get into the ethical weeds with her.
The fact that Mamdani just seems like a cheerful normal guy who's policies are things like "we're going to tax second homes to fund pothole repairs" or whatever and yet this generates panicked responses like "This is basically Stalin's great purge turned up to eleven" is... telling. It tells things.

“[Trump] is granting audiences to people who buy his meme coin. When the sitting president* of the United States is selling access for what are effectively payments directly to him, there is no question that that rises to the level of an impeachable offense.” @ossoff.senate.gov

If they settle, I think it's an impeachable offense for both him and the AG.
