Given their history of lying, next time you won’t print an ICE spokesperson’s statement until you have confirmed the truth first?

Legit laugh at the location for this video. I cannot wait to vote for Katie Wilson for Seattle mayor.

A PAC supporting Bruce Harrell has now raised more than $1 million from wealthy donors, and soon they will use it to attack me so that our city stays unaffordable. With less than a month until election day, I want to make a few things clear. #thisisyourcity

I don’t like it any more than you do, but for decades now Americans have demonstrated they like, trust, and vote for Republicans in spite of hating everything they plan to do, while disliking, distrusting, and voting against Democrats in spite of liking most of their policies.

it’s more like their coalition, such as it is, is built on a rejection of the mere concept of government.

Being rude to AI is bigotry?

Dude.

It is code. It isn't a person. It has no feelings.

Instead of worrying about AI's nonexistent feelings, there are plenty of people in the world who could use some help right now.

This #monktoberfest talk is about navigating dementia in a loved one while caring for yourself.

There are two very brave people up at the front of the room baring their experiences for us. I couldn't even start to sum it up.

This is almost certain to be in my future. I'm endlessly grateful to Chris for sharing his experience over the past years.

JT Perry and Chris Petrilli are here with another heavier talk, on navigating memory and dementia while caring for loved ones.

This whole thread has a CW for frank discussion of death and dying in the US.

A #monktoberfest talk about management has multiple mentions about gathering "Metrics (very carefully)" -- I'd love to hear more about that... I hope he expands on it.

many of them aren't stupid in the way you'd normally expect

what they have is enabler brain

there are types of people who take the side of an abuser in every situation, doesn't matter why, doesn't matter if they met them, and they aren't even directly evil themselves, it's like a cognitive exploit

One thing I've learned from the Internet is that a lie needs 0% proof to be believed, but the truth requires thousands of pages of proof and still won't be believed.

I feel like he'd probably identify himself as a libertarian, if pressed, too, and say that he believes in freedom.

Larry Ellison envisions a surveillance state in which techbros rule. '“Citizens will be on their best behavior, because we’re constantly recording and reporting everything that is going on,” Ellison said in an hour-long Q&A during Oracle’s Financial Analyst Meeting last week.'

What we might refer to as a "Kavanaugh Stop"

WOW. The lead plaintiff is a Latino man who's been here legally for 24 years. He was grabbed off the street by plainclothes federal agents who didn't even ASK about his status.

He was detained overnight and only released once a supervisor realized he had been illegally arrested.
PARTIES3. Plaintiff José Escobar Molina is a 47-year-old man who has lived in D.C. for 25 years. He has maintained valid Temporary Protected Status (“TPS”) for El Salvador since 2001. On August 21, 2025, Mr. Escobar Molina was walking from his apartment building in Northwest D.C.to his work truck, about to start his workday, when two cars pulled up next to him. As he was about to get into his truck, plain-clothed and unidentified federal agents exited the cars and—without conducting any inquiry—seized Mr. Escobar Molina, grabbing him by the arms and legs and immediately handcuffing him. The agents arrested him without a warrant and without asking for his name, his identification, or anything about his immigration status. The agents also did not ask him where he lives, whom he lives with, how long he has lived here, or anything else about his ties to the community prior to arresting him. After ICE detained Mr. Escobar Molina overnight at its processing center in Chantilly, Virginia, the next day an ICE supervisor finally realized that he had valid TPS, which statutorily prohibits ICE from detaining him, and released him. Due tohis Latino ethnicity, Mr. Escobar Molina fears being arrested and detained again while going about his daily life in D.C.

Most of modern life is just listening to somebody list side effects for a drug you’ll never take.

I think back to how the cops roughed us up in 2018 when we protested saying this and no one cared.

And I think about how ICE routinely brutalizes and disappears and murders people now, and.

Pay attention when state violence is leveraged against liberatory protesters. Everyone else is next.
