When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.
Local Georgia woman charged with murder after taking abortion pills and giving birth in hospital By Madison Foglio, Action News Jax March 12, 2026 at 9:54 pm EDT non-shortened link https://www.actionnewsjax.com/news/local/georgia-woman-charged-with-murder-after-taking-abortion-pills-giving-birth-hospital/6GA7IHO7YNBCLC24BXHHBAV6XI/
Horrific. Georgia police charged a woman with murder after she allegedly used misoprostol. Hospital may have reported her.
@pregnancyjust.bsky.social calls it “an unprecedented murder charge for an alleged abortion, even though no law in the state of Georgia permits such a charge." bit.ly/46W2Ezb
I worry about how much we're infantilizing these men. They're grown as they're gonna get
It absolutely should cause reputational damage. They made a very deliberate choice and now must live with the consequences
Senator Tuberville on x writing a response to the @endwokeness account Original tweet from @EndWokeness - “less than 25 years apart” Image 1 - the twin towers as they are hit by a the planes on 9/11/2001 Image 2 - Mayor Mamdani sitting on a prayer rug while hosting an Iftar at city hall Quote tweet from Senator Tuberville - “the enemy is inside the gates.”
Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.
Something important that many people probably don’t know: in the Detroit area the Jewish community & the various Arab communities have worked _really hard_ for decades to build understanding, trust, & goodwill. It’s sometimes been very difficult, but they’ve mostly succeeded
This is extraordinarily bad
Among the many things I've learned from Twain: Maybe the most dependable heuristic for judging a person is who counts them as an enemy.
Dwayne Eutsey found, among the many revelations in the Epstein Files, that this epic shithead hated Mark Twain.
still the only explanation you need
There are moments I have flashes of anger just short of smashing things about this. We threw it away, we fucking chose to throw it away. And be 'we' I do mean the mass public, not just the crazies they voted for.
A large midday explosion rocked a Tehran square filled with demonstrators who were there for the annual Quds Day event in support of Palestinians, Iranian state television reported.

Israel literally just bombed a demonstration in Tehran.

I am old enough to remember the vitriol directed at random humanities scholars' work complaining about the totalizing tendencies of capitalism to corrupt, colonize, or co-opt everything. I also lived long enough to read long term coverage of the literal attempt to privatize thinking in the newspaper
This is the company the UK government has embedded in the nation’s services. Seriously, fuck everyone who is excusing this.
Funny little anecdote. (not really funny)
A lot of cities have parking requirements for bus stations. They literally will require a parking space for every 3 to 5 seats, or every couple hundred square feet of covered waiting area.
Makes building nice bus, terminals impossible in cities.

Some folks treated me like a naive child for believing we had the money to cancel a portion of student loan debt
The killing of schoolchildren should shock our conscience and cause us to recoil in horror. A nation whose leaders can so easily shrug off the death of children, no matter the cause, is in need of moral repair. There must be accountability and lessons learned from this tragedy. And we must never forget that Iranian children, too, are children of God. 7:08 PM · Mar 12, 2026 · 7,179 Views
Shouldn't be rare to see this said by a US senator
Still no censure of Tommy Tuberville, Randy Fine, or Andy Ogles, who are openly promoting hate against Muslims while the US is bombing Iran, killing the Ayatollah, and people like Lindsey Graham are calling it a "religious war" DURING RAMADAN.
How do you think this all ends, folks?
Nice catch from @mainenewsroom.com (also spotted by @jamesxmyall.bsky.social): A federal agent told Maine cops they were leaving the state -- because of weather -- a FULL WEEK before Susan Collins implied she was responsible for their exit.
Typical self-aggrandizing Collins maneuver. #MEpolitics

Look the feed made a poem
The police made the first wave of arrests at the ASU encampment within 15 minutes of set-up and women had their hijabs ripped off. Now, years later, the Maricopa Co. attorney is attempting to kill local anti-SLAPP laws to dodge questions about the politically retaliatory charges against protesters.
We are not seeing mass protests because universities and colleges criminalized dissent — not just disciplining students on specious grounds but sending police (sometimes more in # than protestors) and supporting prosecutions. Ppl are terrified.

The least shocking thing ever is learning DOGE used chatGPT to identify which grants were “DEI.” It is critical to understand that LLMs are an authoritarian technology meant to win the millennia-long war on critical thinking and art. They are a right wing wet dream.
Something I've been trying to do lately is formulate my principles and beliefs in positive rather than negative terms - "I believe X" rather than "I'm not like those fucking guys" - and it's been a useful and (I think) healthy little reorientation
Letter: Thank you for Susan Collins for hearing my concerns
Bangor Daily News runs a fawning letter praising Susan Collins -- and recounting a meeting she granted the author -- from a person with the same name as the president of Turning Point USA's UMaine chapter.
No TPUSA in the signature line.
This is how the sausage (astroturf?) gets made. #MEpolitics
A step toward justice. In an undisclosed settlement, the multinational pharmaceutical company Novartis agreed to compensate Henrietta Lacks’ heirs for the billions in profits they reaped from her body.

over half of Palantir's revenue comes from government contracts. hundreds of millions of OUR taxpayer dollars, every year, are spent subsidizing this man and his company.
