I guess they didn’t want to live in a shithole country.
I really wonder what the internal discussions about this decision looked like. Where was their legal team? To me either they have 0 power in the company or their risk tolerance is incredibly incredibly high.
uhhhh @danielbiss.bsky.social what’s going on here?
Thread.
Very interesting stuff here. A new supplemental funding bill, notionally to pay for the Iran War, will be a back door way for the White House to claim Congress retroactively authorized the war itself talkingpointsmemo.com/news/for-tru...
We're pretty sure prosecutors are only supposed to charge crimes they believe they can prove in court...
An investigation by ProPublica and @texastribune.org found more than 60 instances of nepotism, self-dealing and conflicts of interest among 27 private schools that likely would have violated state laws had the schools been public.

The family of Rodney Taylor has said that the double amputee, who has been in ICE custody for over a year, could be deported imminently.
so the prosecutor essentially argued swastikas are pro-trump.

• If there's one thing controversial CBS News editor Bari Weiss has earned praise for it's her hands-on booking of big names for the network. But there's one booking she seems to have blown up: New York mayor Zohran Mamdani, who had been in talks to appear for an interview on CBS News Sunday Morning with Robert Costa. Mamdani's team, I'm told, has long been averse to appearing on CBS given the coverage his campaign got from Weiss's The Free Press, but her recent social media post reacting with a fire emoji to an Iranian activist's diatribe against Mamdani was the "nail in the coffin" for him appearing on the network, two sources with knowledge told me. "Bari and her people have a clear axe to grind for him," said one former CBS producer. (CBS News did not respond to a request for comment.) And the network's turn away from news and toward opinion is proving to be a broader problem. "It's not just Zohran," the source said. "It's really
lol. CBS had been trying to get Zohran Mamdani for an interview, but Bari Weiss' deranged tweeting caused him to turn it down

In my book The Privateers I explain how DeVos, Koch, and Bradley $$ created “soldier scholars”—right-wing political operatives with PhDs and campaign-style tactics to push right-wing policy priorities through courts and legislatures.

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
Here's the thing: every fear you have about this is why they made it. They've been jerking off to the thought of doing this for decades. They actively mean you harm
Pete Hegseth wants to live in a world in which the US military can drop bombs on scores of children and face no serious media scrutiny for it. His vile claim that he can't wait for David Ellison to run CNN shows he pines for oligarchic control of media.

Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning:
Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime.
And recognized as such by the US Government.

Later in the thread she says it isn’t cheating.
Yes, it is. It is cheating. If you follow her (grift) advice, you will not earn a PhD.
Too much to keep track of, but don't sleep on AG Bondi's new proposed rule that would let DOJ lawyers avoid key ethics checks that prohibit lying to court. Ratcheting up the assault on courts & the reality-based world at the same time. Mine in today's NYT. (Gift Link)
Folks have argued for years that AI weapons could be hardwired to follow the rules. They never figured that the people building the AI and the people using it would have totally different ideas about what those rules should be.
In a small city that touts itself as “The Peanut Capital of the World,” a new proposal focuses on planting rows of something else: high-security computer servers.
Man, if only there were a way to study the effectiveness of AI in health outcomes before plugging it wildly as a band-aid for an underfunded social safety net. Some sort of Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation, if you will

Trump Opens the Door for ICE to Target Anyone Suspected of Being Trans
Under a new rule, the State Dept will be able to revoke trans people's visas over "misrepresentation." It'll give ICE grounds to suspect all trans people of being in the US illegally. transitics.substack.com/p/trump-admi...
