Lately, I’ve taken to walking my cat in my neighborhood, not with a harness or anything, just following my outdoor cat around (he likes the company). Last night in the dark, though, I realized that this is the literal definition of “prowling”, I’m standing by while he looks for ways to invade homes

Met het argument van 'geweld voorkomen' komt de illiberale, repressieve antidemocratische kant van de VVD weer boven. Want het inperken van het demonstratierecht voor mensen waar de VVD het niet mee eens is, is het echte doel.

Incredible. First Secretary Mullin claimed that DHS had identified 15,903 noncitizens on Nevada’s voter roll. Then DHS officials told a skeptical Nevada, no no no, that’s just people we flagged. Here are the names of 185 people we KNOW aren’t citizens. All 185 were citizens. DHS got 100% wrong.

When the Department of Homeland Security sent Nevada a list of 185 names last month that it claimed identified noncitizens who had been improperly allowed to register to vote, state election officials got to work.
On Tuesday, the state sent a strongly worded rebuke to the federal government: Every single person on the list was a lawful citizen.
"As for the 185 individuals, our records indicate that they were citizens," Greg D. Ott, a deputy attorney general in Nevada, wrote, according to a copy of a letter sent to Department of Homeland Security officials obtained through open records requests.
"You have provided nothing of substance to suggest otherwise."

Following the meeting, Ms. Vogt sent a clarifying email to Nevada officials. "I also wanted to be sure I clarified that we did not reduce the 15,903 to 185," she wrote. "We've manually reviewed some of the 15,903 and confirmed 185 are not U.S. Citizens."
Now, Nevada officials are saying even that 185 number is wrong. They also took issue with a letter D.H.S. sent them in early September, in which the agency reiterated its initial claims about nearly 16,000 noncitizens on the rolls and pressured state officials to review each case in a letter to Nevada officials in early September.

A cop in rural Texas pulls over a Latino. He demands papers; doesn’t get any. Arrests the guy, throws him in a local jail cell. Hours later, GardaWorld staff show up to put him on a bus with a dozen others. They drive him to the nearest ICE jail; a bus service for the machine of mass deportation.

way to go, you fucking morons. I hope you're happy with how things are going

Going beyond the necessary cost cutting, tech’s newly radicalized billionaires used this moment to wage class war and enforce discipline on what they saw as an unruly workforce. Gone were the days of coddling tech workers and viewing them as the industry’s most valuable assets. Instead, the progressivism and idealism that had come, in part, from the techno-utopianism of the 2000s and 2010s was now seen by Silicon Valley’s executives and investors as an explicit threat. And so, these billionaires set their sights on winning the culture war and dismantling the left-liberal foundations they believed had turned their own workers against them. To do so, and to avoid another bout of Biden-esque regulation, they threw in their support with Trump, laying the foundations of what would soon be known as the tech oligarchy—a power bloc uniting capital and politics under a shared project of restoring control.

Dutch daily NRC: 9/11 marked the beginning of an era in which the USA squandered its reputation in Europe and the world by overplaying every hand and no longer even pretending to adhere to international law. Trump, who openly sees allies as little more than satellite states, is the logical outcome.

Dolly Partons IMAGINATION LIBRARY

Dear Imagination Library Graduate,

My, how time flies. It seems it was only yesterday when your family and friends read you your first story. You were just a baby. Now you're five years old and about to go to school. How exciting!
This may be your last book from my Imagination Library but you have to promise me you will keep on reading. If you go to your local public library you will find a great number of books just for kids your age. Every book is a treasure and every time you open one up you will meet new friends and take wonderful journeys to magical places.
I hope you have a great time in school. I bet your school will even have a library where you can check out books. You and all of your friends are very special. There is no limit to what you can do or how far you can go.

Just remember the lessons my family taught me - dream big dreams; learn everything you can learn; and care for all those who care for you. You do all of these things and you can be anyone you want to be.

You are terrific, and remember...
I Will Always Love You,
Dolly

Over here in Europe we have always tracked kids towards trade school or university with a test at age 12! Still do. It sucks. It’s a really dumb idea! America should definitely do this if it wants to kill growth and waste human potential, oh and also worsen racial discrimination

Turns out the reason Cofnas thinks jobs are just given to unqualified candidates is because that’s how he got hired. If you have ever worked in academia, do yourself a favor and read this because holy crap— I just thought he wasn’t qualified to speak on genetics given his CV, but it gets worse.

In addition to the media, we need to interrogate why racist critics, like Nathan Cofnas (a nobody postdoc) are platformed through publications (as recent as 2024) and university positions to parrot long-discredited eugenicist-era pseudoscience that falsely links race/intelligence. RIP Dr. Arday 💔
