"Miller slipped up because even he knows it is an outrageous thing for Trump to claim absolute, unreviewable power to send active-duty military troops into American cities based only on his delusions."

Stephen Miller's radically bogus idea of "plenary authority"

This is not how the Constitution works.

Suddenly remembering the time I asked a friend for an accommodation and they later said they never did the accommodation I specifically asked for because *it felt rude to them to do the thing I specifically asked for them to do*.

If someone asks for an accommodation...just trust them plz.

a fake quote being attributed to zohran mamdani is igniting the pro-palestine left.

he never said arresting netanyahu would make him a trumpian fascist. that phrase was posted by an account known for using extreme rhetoric to accuse mamdani of effectively saying that as a result of him softening.

image circulating claiming to attribute a fake quote to mamdani. text reads:
dec. 2024: “as mayor of nyc i would arrest benjamin netanyahu”
sept. 2025: “arresting netanyahu would make me a trumpian fascist.” - this second quote has in big letters over it the words “fake quote.”

post from the originator of the phrase. text reads:

@zei squirrel
here you have it side by side. Zohran in December 2024, when he was running in the primary, pledging that he will definitely arrest Netanyahu. Then fast forward to Zohran in September 2025, after he won the primary, and suddenly arresting Netanyahu makes you a Trumpian fascist:

I don’t think ppl understand the whole “who cares if nobody likes it! make content for yourself” is extremely dismissive
Bc we ARE making the content for ourselves but it feels /bad/ when people don’t engage or show interest. You can care about both at the same time

I still stand ten toes down on this statement even after I got death threats on Twitter about it. Writing off the south continues to birth resentment and a further divide that shouldn’t even be there. They want a division to make it easier to continue regressive bullshit. Stop. Falling. For. It.

So I ask the following knowing pricing art is *hard* but:

What would a semi-fair price be for, say, knitting a short message into a scarf or like the first paragraph of your favorite book into a shawl? (knitting as in, coded into the knit itself).

Would $300 be asking too much?

"Even if it's AI, it's still true"

Even if you're right, that's the exact same logic fascists use when made-up shit about the communities they target is proven to be false.

At that point all you can say is "Except I'm in the right!"

Except you're accelerating the post-truth era, so,

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

Wow. Greg Bovino admits on camera that his agents can detain people if you look scared, change your demeanor, or grip a steering wheel too tight.

As his unmasked agents walk around with large guns to scare you, they may arrest you just for that — even if you're a U.S. citizen.
