to be clear I don't think the dsa is somehow stealing the limelight. I think the institutional libs have failed to meet the moment and their constituents.

A sign that says THEY BLAME IMMIGRANTS AO YOU DON'T BLAME BILLIONAIRES

Also behind them to the left is a sign that says NO TROOPS IN OUR STREETS

Head to a protest today. I can almost promise you will feel less hopeless. That's exactly what they don't want. There are more of us than there are of them.

There is absolutely no reason for this. Trump is doing this only b/c Santos sucked up to him.

The case against Santos was solid. He was a total fraud and violated assorted campaign finance laws. Noah Lanard and I broke a major piece of the Santos story in 2023:

ChatGPT gave a significant portion of my students the wrong answer to an easy quiz question that everyone used to always get right

I had two groups of students turn in annotated bibliographies that were ChatGPT generated - not a single citation actually existed

This is fine dog meme

Am orangish brown dog sits on a red chair wearing a hat that matches his fur color. A circular table in front of him has a coffee cup on it. Around him, flames roar and smoke covers the ceiling. His speech bubble says "this is fine"

Extraordinary NEW story: We Found That More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. @nicolefoy.bsky.social w/ photos by @sbmaneyphoto.bsky.social

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.

The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

Sounds crazy but Ed Orgeron to #gobeavers Oregon State is a path already traveled by Denny Erickson. 2-3 years of successful building and then a final move to a bigger gig or simply stay and enjoy success at the smaller scale and retire.

#Portland PSA: Far-right/Right-Leaning agitators and/or content creators are out at these protests.

They will instigate in order to get footage to fit their narratives, despite these protests being 99% peaceful. Do not give them content. Do not take the bait. #Immigration #Protests #ICE

Trump is upfront in saying he will use the shutdown to punish Democrats, and here are the receipts. About $27.2 billion cut from Dem districts compared to about $0.7 billion in GOP districts.
We all complain about the media, but need this type of in-depth journalism.

The Trump administration has frozen or canceled nearly $28 billion primarily located in Democratic-led districts, according to an analysis by The New York Times.
