For the love of God, stop saying this regime's ruthless authoritarianism "raises questions" and start telling us what answers you have for us. If you can't do that, get the fuck out of the way.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

i really can’t bring myself to care about AI anthropomorphism debates. “is AI thinking?” i don’t know. is a calculator calculating? questions for the philosophers. what’s important is that we put sam altman in prison.

I guess this is the danger of giving a tiny group of elites who have spent their entire lives thoroughly sheltered from the real world so much power to control *that world*. Who can foreseen that?

for your future voting knowledge, Gavin Newsom was central in pressuring the AGs to settle their antitrust lawsuit against Paramount:

The Macklemore thing is more proof that pro-Israel activists have just lost the ability to persuade. All it can do is browbeat anyone opposed to them. That doesn't work when you're -25 in public opinion.

Yikes, if this is accurate, its basically the owner class using their power to shut down dissent. The Patriots Robert Kraft told Sheerhan his concert would be cancelled if Mackelmore stayed on the your, and that other stadium owners would follow suit.

Statement from AG Keith Ellison on today’s hearing in Texas over the extradition of Christian Castro, the ICE agent accused of shooting Julio Sosa-Celis. The judge didn’t allow remote attendees so I couldn’t listen in. We’ll have a decision from the judge on the TRO request in the next day or so.
“Today, my office vigorously argued Minnesota’s case in federal court in Texas. We argued once again that Texas Governor Abbott has no discretion in the matter of Christian Castro’s extradition to Minnesota. If Governor Abbott does not execute his legal and constitutional duty to return Castro to face justice here, Minnesota will suffer irreparable harm if Castro is instead set free and allowed to flee the country. We also argued that Governor Abbott’s claim that he needs to investigate whether Castro is a fugitive before signing the extradition order has no basis in law.
 
The Court said it hopes to issue a written order by tomorrow. I look forward to Castro’s mandatory extradition to Minnesota to face the criminal assault charges the State of Minnesota has laid against him here for his actions during Operation Metro Surge."
