bottom-up (inductive) attention to a thing is also apparently the default for autistic people, vs. top-down (deductive) attention, which is more associated with neurotypical brains... i like this explanation of the two: autisticphd.com/theblog/what...
this song of theirs in particular is amazing -- "am i the oppressor?" bit -- nightmarish
there is no question in my mind that rfk jr is the most dangerous person in this administration and that his eugenicist ideology threatens the lives of millions of people www.advocate.com/politics/dem...
the new MOVING INJURED PART EP is coming along nicely -- handling the mixing/mastering myself this time around, and there was / is a lot to learn, but it's been fun and rewarding to tackle even though the going has been intermittent and slow.
We just translated a wave of our ICE coverage into Spanish. No paywall, no email signup necessary. From leaks about Palantir's work with ICE to ICE's new facial recognition app, we think there is a massive public interest in this info. Read why and support us here: www.404media.co/were-publish...

Based on this fast and excellent WaPo reporting, these four guys are not gang members, just Venezuelan dads who came to the US to work. They’re now being paraded in shackles in El Salvador www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...
The Seattle Times "There's nothing you need to do - we've deducted the funds from LEONARD A. JOHNSON's account." Uh oh. It itemized how $5,201 had been stricken from their bank account, on the grounds that Ned wasn't justified to get those benefits - because he was dead. That was for payments he'd received in December and January. Ned found that his February Social Security check hadn't been paid, and he's yet to receive his March check, either. His Medicare insurance had been canceled. He also learned that when you die, your credit score gets marked as "deceased, do not issue credit," which makes it tough to get a loan.
DOGE/SSA marked this person dead and *removed his savings from his bank account,* cancelled his social security and Medicare. #seattle www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/politics/he...

One Roberts clerk, one former Gorsuch clerk, and one future Gorsuch clerk. All working for DOGE to help Musk usurp the government.
Like I wrote earlier today, the courts are not going to stop this.
🚨BREAKING: Musk is trying to shut down USAID as the agency was investigating its oversight of a public-private partnership involving equipment from Musk's company.
Various USAID webpages mentioning Musk's company are now not accessible on its website.
Hospital protests have begun for hospitals that are complying with an executive order banning gender affirming care.
The order does NOT have the force of law, but some hospital systems are too scared of trump to defend trans kids in their care.
