Harassment is wrong, of course. Still, ICE detaining a famous YouTuber over his posts is tremendous content.

the dhs response is so funny cus they’re not even disputing that it happened, they’re omitting the insane questions that were asked, & instead claiming that i wasn’t targeted for my political beliefs. why’d y’all ask me about trump, israel, houthis, hamas and my twitch bans then?

I don't understand the shade. He is an extremely left wing podcaster. Of course he is going to make a scene when he is detained. Also, isn't it net positive that he is loud about it? How is an American citizen expressing their political beliefs a crime or worth interrogation?

When asked if the United States should have a military parade to show off its might, President Eisenhower responded: “Absolutely not. We are the pre-eminent power on Earth. For us to try and imitate what the Soviets are doing in Red Square would make us look weak.”

The boring white men with money and power… the delusional ones who think they’re fascinating and hilarious… the ones who demonize anyone who doesn’t adore them… They’re killing this country (and us) to get more money and more power. Because they can’t get laid without it.

Read this excerpt of an interview with Jay Bhattacharya, new NIH director. And do not miss the last graf. Via @jocelynkaiser.bsky.social www.science.org/content/arti...
On a Nature news article reporting that NIH planned to suspend subawards for foreign collaborations:
"No, that's false. There's going to be a policy on tracking subawards. The NIH and the government should be able to see where the money's going."
"I'm really uncomfortable with this conversation, because you're like, actually spreading rumors that you don't know anything about. ... Nature also is spreading rumors. Halt foreign collaborations, that's not true."
"We're working on the policy, Jocelyn. You shouldn't be reporting rumors. I know there's leaks all over here, but the leaks don't actually reflect what's happening.
Don't write about rumors. It actually makes the things that you and I care about worse.
Like it spreads panic."
Later that day, NIH released a policy that halted future subawards to foreign scientists and said they will need to apply directly for money under a system still in development.

I wish people would understand the difference between analytical "AI" and generative algorithms using LLMs. The former is used for pattern recognition at high rates and precision humans can't replicate and highly useful in medicine and science. The latter is autocomplete with delusions of grandeur.

’60 Minutes’ top producer Bill Owens resigned, saying he lost independence, and CBS, like other mainstream news outlets, seems like it may bend the knee to Trump. Subscribe to Zeteo.com for independent journalism that won’t bow to fascists.

This is great and what I’m talking about. A bunch of old white folks in Iowa demanding answers from Grassley. Probably most of them were even Trump voters. This is a losing issue for him.

You own a factory. You criticize the President. The government seizes your assets. You bring a takings claim against the government under the Fifth Amendment. The Supreme Court says the government must return your assets. The government says no. What's so different to what they did yesterday?

You can only manipulate a market for so long before foreign investors sell off their US treasury bonds and investments in the stock market. It’s a short term win to hedge a major big big loss in the future.

What some people aren’t factoring into their analysis is the reality that companies were buying tons of inventory to beat the tariffs. That’s cash taken from being able to invest or hire. In fact the probably cut costs and jobs as a result. #econsky

Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"

In 1930, 6 months after the Smoot-Hawley tariffs were enacted by President Hoover, world trade decreased by SIXTY PERCENT (60%). Because of policies like the Smoot-Hawley tariffs contributing to the Great Depression in the 1930's, Hoover is considered one of our WORST president's. Sound familiar?

I am pissed. If you want change, you talk to smart people who can come up with better solutions. Which is why I ask questions on here When we come up with better solutions , it makes the guy in the WH look bad and hopefully gets people to rethink who they support

MAGA is composed of ~10 separate factions that convinced themselves they are all aligned as one. They are not, and the tariffs are helping to break the factions apart. Notice this and amp up differences and grievances. Break them apart.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

We tried mass tariffs in 1828, and it crashed the economy. We tried again in 1930, and it crashed the economy. Third time’s the charm, I guess.
