WATCH — @jamestalarico.bsky.social : “Every dollar we spend bombing people in the Middle East is one we’re not spending here at home. We’re always told we don’t have enough money for schools or healthcare or for veterans, but there’s always enough to bomb people on the other side of the world.”
After revelations that companies like Ring have been selling home security footage to ICE, the most common defense of keeping a camera up seems to be, “But what if I’m stalked?”
And as a violence researcher, I’m just here to state for the record that police do not care about your security footage.
haha what the fuck bsky.app/profile/atru...
No. Might does not make right.
Putting these two posts together like pieces of a lost amulet and watching a lesson about geopolitics emerge like a genie
This was my second visit to the ICE facility in Baltimore. Each time, it made the hair stand up on my arms.
The conditions are inhumane, and the treatment of people is unacceptable.
Instead of lowering gas prices, this Administration chooses to spend its time on this CRUELTY.
Sen. E. Warren says it like it is:
"This is not a war the American people want us to engage in.
The Trump administration says over and over, there's no money for health care, no money for childcare, but there's $1B a day to go to the Middle East and drop bombs on Iran !"

well, trump did promise to bring back mining jobs
Self-organized student protests and walkouts against ICE show no signs of slowing down. www.chicagotribune.com/2026/03/09/c...
I conclude that NIH should make use of the large amounts of data that they have available to examine hypotheses before proposing developing new policies.

I have a new comment piece out in Nature today.

Neither Donald Trump nor Pete Hegseth can articulate a clear justification for this war, clear goals, or a clear timeline.
Congress should not write a blank check for an unnecessary war that remains illegal without authorization.
Show up and show out. Keep asking Republicans about lawless ICE agents and Trump's plans for concentration-camp warehouses. Make them own the policies that they were so eager to impose and which have done (and continue to do) so much harm.
The core revelation here is that Trump has lost the public *on the mass deportations themselves* and not just on ICE's brutal tactics. We have been arguing this for months but media has simply refused to acknowledge it. Now so obvious that it can't be avoided
The Trump administration is gearing up to kick an estimated six million more people off of food assistance programs — including nearly two million children.
The move would save just $1 billion a year, while Trump spends upwards of $1 billion per *day* on his new forever war.
Priorities.
ICYMI: Republicans BLOCKED my bill to fund TSA.
Republicans are punishing travelers and forcing TSA agents to work without pay because they want to cut another blank check for ICE & Border Patrol.
It's shameful.
Holy shit - this would be very, very bad:
"The databases, called “Numident” and the “Master Death File,” include records for more than 500 million living and dead Americans, including Social Security numbers, places and dates of birth, citizenship, race and ethnicity, and parents’ names."
Hope y'all bought gas 87 minutes ago
my “I have no reports of mines in the Strait of Hormuz but Iran must remove them immediately” tshirt has people asking a lot of questions answered by the tshirt
My new Purity Litmus Test for any Democrat in politics is to at least talk like uhh this cato institute gentleman
MAGA influencer Jake Lang getting caught for allegedly soliciting a minor is the least surprising thing of the day.
I think this story is a really good example for people to look at when it comes to understanding bias at NYT. It's not that the reporter, Dana Rubinstein, says anything outright false. But the framing, word choices, etc., add up to an unprofessional and biased account.
Yeah, that's usually how this works, right?
As a former assistant federal defender, I think this is a good thing, for reasons I addressed here: slate.com/news-and-pol...
No American president has ever worn a baseball cap - especially his own $55 merchandise - at a dignified transfer. Like any good propaganda outlet designed to protect a supreme leader, Fox replaced the clip with one showing Trump in a better light.

I think David’s exchange with Senator Kennedy may even beat mine!
