“cops should arrest ICE” is a liberal fantasy. “abolish ICE” is not.

Hegseth announcing a public execution the same week a Dem Senator urges everyone to “focus on the work” rather than impeaching people is …hellafied timing

democrats, from obama to biden and most senate democrats, hold on to this notion that the only way to defeat the gop is for them to Finally Be Morally Outraged and Tell Their Party To Stop we've spent at least four decades with this bullshit running the democratic party. people are tired of it.

a big part of ossoff's rhetorical success is it doesnt contain the compromise and caveats that are a baked-in part of democratic party rhetoric. theres no pretending that his opponent is just misguided or will be pulled back from the edge by "the good republicans." ossoff is saying "fuck this guy"

Do we really need to explain to people that it is really, REALLY important to read to young children? Like, you, personally, need to read to your child - your voice, your face, your hand gestures, your lap, your arms, your closeness. What kind of parent doesn't know this in their bones?

I don't know what we're supposed to even say anymore. This is the government Democrats couldn't find the backbone to just vote no on everything and use every procedural rule in existence to slow down and didn't have so much as a post it note to scribble impeachment articles onto

AltNOAA also has a big ol' hard-on for AI, including using it to post straight up fake news, justified by it supposedly generating "emotions" about beluga whales. When challenged on how insane that stance is, AltNOAA spent the day doubling down and calling everyone "emotionally shallow."
AltNOAA: Beluga Whale Escapes Research Facility and Swims Hundreds of Miles Back To Her Baby.

It is wrong and immortal to hold brings of self awareness captive if they have committed no crimes.

[AltNOAA attaches a hilariously obvious AI image of a beluga whale leaping out of an aquarium tank into the sea]AltNOAA: Two types of people will see this. The first type is the emotionally shallow person who just sees AI and that's it for them. Everyone else will think about the emotions it creates for a self aware being they personally don't know and understand that cetacean captivity is wrong. I love it for this!

The AltGov account ostensibly representing the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has been wandering down an increasingly grim path over the last several months. This account has always had an edgier-than-thou streak, but repeatedly saying you'll totally shoot cops is new.
AltNOAA claims to be "armed to the fucking teeth" and says "whoever puts the cuffs in me is going to step over the bodies of their buddies to do it."AltNOAA again says that if the police come after his family, "the arresting officer will step over his dead friend to make the arrest."

At this stage it doesn't matter to me if this guy is cosplaying. I want a person who talks like this and then promises to back it up to be the next president. If there's somebody who winds up being more convincing than him in the next year or so, I'll vote for that person instead.

New Yorkers: Do you have a form of immigration relief called withholding of removal? Have you received an ICE letter summoning you to 26 Federal Plaza? Here’s what  you can do:

1. Call our Immigration Legal Support Hotline at 1-800-354-0365, or call 311 and say "Immigration Legal" for free, confidential help in your native language.

2. Fill out our intake form to get help from the Rapid Response Legal Collaborative: nyc.gov/RRLC

3. Make a plan. Make sure you have an emergency contact and that someone you trust has your A-number. Talk to a lawyer before making any decisions.

I love being Minnesotan. Somali people have built a community here over 30 years. They are an integral part of Minneapolis and nearly every suburb surrounding it. I have coached Somali high school students, I have seen them grow into adults and start families. They are Minnesotans just as much as me

This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed.

This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.

Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.

Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children.

Abolish ICE.

According to Google there are about 111,000 persons of Somali ancestry living in MN out of 5.8 million folks. That’s about 2%. Over half of those were born in the U.S. And we certainly aren’t letting any more in at this point. Minnesota isn’t being “taken over”.

Once again, an AI booster confuses output with process. You don’t read to your baby so they can hear a disembodied voice. You read to your baby because in doing so, you build what can be one of the most sacred and meaningful bonds in both of your lives. Unless you outsource it to a line of code.

Man, this answer from Ta-Nehisi Coates about how he felt about Kamala Harris saying that she wants to have “the most lethal fighting force in the world” is really good. He talks about why she might feel like she has to say that, but gives most of his response to the victims of that lethality

I don't even know what else has an 8% approval rating. Swine flu?
Most voters (61%) say they dislike elected officials who support building data centers in their area; just 8% like this. While dislike is especially widespread among Democratic voters (75% dislike), on balance Republican voters also do not like leaders who support data centers (44% dislike, 14% like).
