As y'all have probably heard, there has been a lot of ICE activity on the North Side of Chicago today. At least four people were kidnapped by ICE in the Rogers Park neighborhood. Folks mobilized throughout the day to do ICE Watch and Rapid Response work.

Who the fuck knew that MTG would turn out to be one of the few GOP congresspeople who actually gives a flying fuck about the American people?

Whether it’s Joe Biden attending weekly mass or Donald Trump’s ICE agents shooting a priest in the face with a pepper ball, presidents of both sides have directly engaged with the Catholic faith.

We need to talk about Russell Vought – But Properly

Why certain mainstream outlets insist on sanitizing Vought as a devout “small government” conservative – and what actually animates his war against pluralistic democracy.

Some thoughts from my new piece:

Corollary: it’s profoundly devastating that the victims on the Israeli side on October 7 were generally peaceniks and leftists who wanted to live in peace and equity with the Gazans

worth pointing out: one of the many reasons Bibi didn't give a shit about the hostages is because they were all from Shaar haNegev, a region that, before the attack, was full of peaceniks and leftists who wanted to live in peace and equity with the Gazans and consequently did not vote for him.

Chaim Peri told another Nir Oz hostage, who was released in the first ceasefire, that a general hostage deal would take two years, because "it's Bibi and we're leftists." He was subsequently murdered last year and never saw his prediction come true to within days.

Great thread pointing out how broken our approach to technology is. We desperately need to take on a more critical approach, where we use evaluation of the impact of a technology to actually inform its adoption. We massively adopt AI even when studies show big negative effects.
tedmccormick.bsky.social
A striking thing about articles I’ve read claiming to “study the effects” of generative AI on student writing skills and consumption of information is that (1) they nearly always find the effects are negative and (2) most “conclusions” are still written assuming that we must use AI, for some reason.

His answer is BS, but it's good to see this guy has to hear from real people with actual life problems.

Republican C-SPAN caller to Mike Johnson: "As a Republican, I'm very disappointed in my party,and I'm very disappointed in you, because you have the power to call the House back. You refuse to do that just for a show."

Swalwell is saying that he thinks that Republicans are starting to turn on Trump. I sure hope so!

A loud reminder that this administration wants to bring back SEGREGATION as @victorerikray.bsky.social has pointed out and they're starting within the administration.

Trump is right, there is a war on Christians. He's the one doing it.

WATCH: Trump’s lawless Ice goons shoot an unarmed priest in the head with a pepper ball. Completely out of control.

You're right. Just an accurate description.

I can't quite believe that not one Democratic senator answered Pam Bondi by saying, "Why can't I question your integrity? You were investigating Trump University for fraud, you get a $25K donation and suddenly you drop it. You're claiming integrity?"

the only appropriate response will be to triple down on supporting the targeted groups rather than to do what so many people usually do which is to run away from them.

President Donald Trump's threatened crackdown on the finances and activities of liberal non-profits and groups opposed to his agenda is a multi-agency effort with top White House aide Stephen Miller playing a central role, according to officials.

Better luck next time, Trump. How about resigning from office, and firing all the Republicans and most of the Supreme court?
That could be a start.

& if you told me i could switch out half the senate dems for a couple of dozen of the most resolutely anti-trump voters, i probably would . . .

I'm appreciating the DemystifySci podcast ( @demystifysci.bsky.social ) for interviewing all the folks involved in the transactional interpretation of quantum mechanics: Ruth Kastner, John Cramer, and Carver Meade.

Gendlin’s description of time in The Process Model is maddening to read. And yet somehow I keep coming back to try to understand it.

I'm just saying that we often have written him off as being foolish or stupid or now perhaps senile, and he has often come back and done major damage. He probably is losing cognitive function, but he's also quite able to scheme and lie and continue the destruction.
