There's no "regular politics" anymore because you can no longer maintain the idea that we all agree on common goals but we only differ about the means of getting there or whatever. The guys in charge now are plainly amoral, sadistic nihilists. They delight in it! You can't civilly disagree with that

My latest is the story of how my community has rallied to protect and defend our neighbors in recent days, as ICE has targeted the Rogers Park neighborhood in Chicago. "This is not a story about a moment of victory, but a moment of being reminded of our power."
They Came for Our Neighbors. We Showed Up.
Before long, there were dozens, and then hundreds of people in the streets, watching and responding.

I’m a teacher. I have an alias on social because I can’t exercise my first amendment rights without fear of losing my job. I can’t strike in my state without my union facing huge fines. I’d lose my job if I didn’t show up when contracted to do so and my healthcare is nothing like Congress gets.

My students nearing graduation are getting ads for 50k signing bonuses and student loan forgiveness.
My students, like the vast majority of college kids in the US are not Ivy League but work 2-3 & take out big loans for college.

People will do terrible things if they’re desperate enough. Even people you might’ve thought of as above it.

Trump: "I don't think there's anything that's gonna get me in heaven. I think I'm not maybe heaven bound. I may be in heaven right now as we fly on Air Force One. I'm not sure I'm gonna be able to make heaven."

📌“The fact that I am American means, among other things, people can’t say, like they did about Francis, ‘he doesn’t understand the United States, he just doesn’t see what’s going on.’

Would be a real shame if Residence Inn & all Marriott properties got a ton of angry phone calls & emails, people cancelled reservations, & Marriott in general was marked as pro ICE for housing all those ICE agents terrorizing the North Side & suburbs of Chicago

FWIW ICE is probably the least accessible federal agency I’ve ever covered, and that includes the CIA.

Why are there so few (none?) news stories about individual ICE agents themselves? Who they are, what motivates them, any moral dilemmas they face? Why aren’t protesters trying to get some to speak out?

if we are going to have a supreme court that is as powerful as it is, i basically think justices should be forbidden from public comment on their work as well as any supplemental source of income while they are on the bench. (they should also ride circuit again but that's a bit separate.)

The substance of what she's saying is bad and unconvincing, but more fundamentally, I really don't think Supreme Court justices should be going on book tours where they publicly comment on their work and respond to criticism of it. Either put it in a written opinion or hold your peace.

p.s. When I was in Europe earlier this year, a lot of sites offered opt-out as individual whatever to toggle, and it was kind of shocking to see the dozens you'd get if you didn't opt out. Which are surely here as well as there, but not obliged to represent themselves so clearly.

One thing I want you to take from videos like this is the absolute cacophony of whistles and screams of "GET THE FUCK OUT OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD" from people in the streets and in buildings. And more and more people are at that point every day.

Stay focused California Democrats. We’ve got a special election to win on November 4, 2025.

Return those ballots and tell 3 people you know to do the same.

It’s important to understand that the demonization of ‘Antifa’ isn’t just about kneecapping the enemies of MAGA. It’s about creating an opportunity to bring down the law-enforcement apparatus on anyone who dares dissent.

I'm sitting here thinking about having a 15 daughter being chased down and abducted by masked men while the local police watch and let them carry her away to god-knows where w/zero accountability

we have to understand that girls are in severe danger of sexual violence from anonymous ICE goons

I'm just one person, and my programming needs are somewhat unusual (building various kinds of statistical forecasting models). But I'm just not seeing the consistent productivity gains from LLMs that I would have expected if you'd asked me 6 months ago.
