Creative hyphenate in Brooklyn who reads too many books and sifts through discount store items to find new sounds to record. Decent backgammon player. Friend to weirdos. Haters and MAGA types will be blocked.

This is the most heartbreaking stories I’ve heard in a long time. ICE detained 2-year-old Orlin Hernandez Reyes’ mother. She begged to be reunited with him before deportation. ICE refused. What happened next is horrific. No matter how you feel about immigration, normal people don’t like cruelty.

@aoc.bsky.social says the polls had her down 35 points on her first Election Day. She won by organizing the people consultants wrote off as non-voters. That's our plan in Florida too. If you've been counted out, I'm counting on you. #AngieForFlorida

Say it with me: If a court has allowed a plaintiff to remain anonymous, Michael Tracey would be in violation of that court's order if he publicly identified Jane Doe.

1. On Tuesday morning, Trump unveiled America dot gov, which he described as “the ultimate product.” Right now, it is basically a chatbot that draws data from official government websites. As a result it is brutally efficient at debunking Trump’s lies.

NEW: A Texas woman died after being denied an abortion and her family sued the state and her doctors for violating her right to life. They say the ban should be struck down. It's one of several cases challenging abortion laws under state constitutional rights to life and liberty @autonomynews.co

New Lawsuits Argue That Pregnant People Also Have a Right to Life
Lawyers are fighting abortion bans in state court by establishing that pregnant people have a right to life and liberty—or at least self-defense.

I must say that I went with an Nvidia card instead of an AMD when I bought my gaming rig a couple of years ago. If I can ever afford another one (big "if" at this point), I will certainly go with an AMD, BASED SOLELY on the complete odiousness of Jensen Huang. He is for sure one of the bad guys.

Gavin Newsom is like, "What if Don Draper was born in 1967 and got into politics instead of advertising" (Currently re-watching MAD MEN & seeing that the genius of the show is presenting an irredeemable cipher & villain & saying "look at how we want to like or cheer for him b/c he's handsome?")

Awful. And this is a perfect example of the ways in which mass deportations eventually impact EVERYONE in ways their proponents continue to pretend don't exist. You think Peter's going to forget this experience, or the feelings it brings up? Hell no. Trauma splashes beyond its targets.

My entire life I've heard centrists scolding leftist candidates with "oh, but how will we pay for all that? isn't your agenda unreasonable? shouldn't we run on a modest proposal for means-tested tax rebates?" Then Mamdani gets elected and makes it all look pretty easy. No wonder they hate him.

Not wild at all. She barely comprehends what she's saying, which is why her politics are so malleable and opportunistic. Taylor Lorenz is a vapid mouthbreathing raccoon who knows the three cheap phrases that give her access to the techbros. A cheap parlor trick that forty other thieves could swing.
