Rep. Delia C. Ramirez has introduced a bill that would abolish not just ICE, but the DHS altogether, repealing the 2002 law establishing the agency and replacing it with one focused on protecting civil and human rights.

After a woman obtained public records indicating a Google datacenter would cover only one-third of the cost of a new solar plant to power the facility — contradicting its promises that ratepayers would not be on the hook — her electricity company sued her.

Late here but: If Democrats actually want to "stop abortion bans," they have a moral and strategic duty to ensure that the government has no place in deciding who can get an abortion. No more viability limits. Abortion as early as possible and as late as necessary, because anything less is immoral

Among the many weird things about this are that we don't treat it as a three-alarm fire that Google, Apple, and Firefox will already copy local models to your computer without asking Like, you already don't have control over whether "local AI" is happening on your machines. Why is that acceptable

COMIC: William Carlos Williams (retweeted)
This single panel comic shows a peacefully bucolic scene with blue sky, white puffy clouds, trees in the background, green grass, a yellow birch tree casting shade down on ARTHUR, the yellow duck who smiles sweetly with his eyes closed. On the other side of the panel lays an iphone.

The poem has red lines crossing out words and written new ones in red.

Alex, the situation in Gaza is extremely tense and worrying right now. All crossings have been closed, and we are living in constant fear and uncertainty about what may happen next. I am terrified for my children, especially with my husband still missing and no news about him. I am trying to stay strong for my children, but everything is becoming harder every day.

Please, Alex, help me share my campaign again. My children and I desperately need support to afford food, clean water, rent, and our basic needs. Every donation and every share means so much to us. Please don't let our suffering be forgotten. 💔🙏🏻An attack in Gaza.

A new statement from @maketheroadny.bsky.social says that Oscar Belgal, the man immigration agents shot in NYC last week, hasn't eaten since Thursday and still has the bullet in his neck. He urgently needs surgery, but instead, the government has him locked up in solitary.
New York, NY –– The Legal Aid Society and Make the Road New York, counsel for Oscar Belgal, issued the following joint statement in response to the deplorable conditions Mr. Belgal has endured while detained at the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in Brooklyn, including solitary confinement, lack of access to food, and inadequate medical care despite a bullet remaining lodged in his neck and his urgent need for surgery: 

“Since Mr. Belgal was shot in the neck by ICE agents on Thursday, with his five-year-old child in the car, he has endured horrific conditions at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, a facility federal judges have described as ‘barbaric’ and ‘inhumane,’ where officers have been characterized as ‘contemptuous of human life and dignity. All the while, a bullet remains lodged in his neck.

“Mr. Belgal is living through an unimaginable nightmare. While he is currently in solitary confinement, a bullet remains lodged in his neck, the left side of his face is numb, and he can barely hear out of his left ear. Doctors have told him he urgently needs surgery, but that the procedure was too dangerous to perform Thursday evening without a specialized surgeon present. Although he was instructed to return to the hospital this week, he has been left in the dark about whether that surgery will even happen. He is also suffering from a shoulder wound caused by shattered glass during the incident.“Rather than receiving the urgent medical attention, care, and compassion he desperately needs, Mr. Belgal reports being confined to a solitary cell, where he is forced to relive the terrifying moments of being shot. He says he has not eaten a single meal since Thursday and has been told that the only water available to him comes from a bathroom sink.

“The deliberate indifference Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents showed toward Mr. Belgal when he was shot on Thursday, and the treatment he has endured in detention since, are further examples of the cruelty and disregard for basic human dignity that have long defined this agency. We will continue to fight for Mr. Belgal’s immediate release from detention and to ensure that he receives the medical care, due process, and basic human dignity to which he is entitled under the law.”

Hey California! Be careful this election because the big money creeps are trying to trick you (again).
There's a trap on your ballot in California. Here's how to get past it.
1. Prop 40: 250 billionaires pay with they owe so hospitals, schools, and food assistant survive the federal cuts. Vote yes.
2. Props 41 and 42: paid for by billionaires to cancel prop 40. Vote no.
3. Tell one person, because the confusion is the plan.
Yes I'm 40. No on 41 and 42.

Palantir shifting from hiring only "Ivy or Ivy-equivalent" degrees to hiring only out of high school is an admission that "training" and "talent" were never factors at all. They were looking for packaging & prestige, and now they're looking for ignorance & impressionability.
Tech companies launching their own programs to train grads because they ‘can’t rely’ on Ivy Leagues
By Lydia Moynihan
Published Oct. 1, 2026, 6:00 a.m. ETAs the university system increasingly becomes a wildly expensive bastion of anti-Western sentiment, key figures in Silicon Valley are betting on alternatives to higher education. They argue that even the Ivy League is no longer producing the best candidates — nor are they even accepting some of the most qualified students.

“It used to be the case that you could rely on somebody who went to an Ivy or Ivy-equivalent to be top notch,” said Jordan Hirsch, who runs Palantir’s semester-long intensive Meritocracy Fellowship, which accepts high school graduates.“But that’s not the case anymore… we suspected that there was a lot of talent being missed.”
