I figured the writing was on the wall for the apps. The second we decided the president has unlimited authority to create and set whatever tariffs he wants, we also decided the president can dictate policies to every major manufacturer in the country.

Identifying public officials isn't "doxing." People have the right to know who is working for their government. Nor, for that matter, is it "radical left-wing terrorism." So it's frustrating to see platforms caving to these bad faith characterizations. www.technologyreview.com/2025/10/06/1...

Q: Have you given any more thought to possibly suspending habeas corpus?

TRUMP: Suspending who?

Q: Habeas corpus

TRUMP: I don't know. I'd rather leave that to Kristi.

New: Apple banned an app that simply archived videos of ICE abuses. Rather than other apps that record ICE official's real-time location, Eyes Up is to "preserve evidence until it can be used in court." Videos from TikTok etc. Every submission manually reviewed

This is capitulation. It is not the "Department of War." If CNN concedes on this point, they'll concede on any point.

The Speaker of the House has firm views that Bad Bunny is a terrible pick for singing at the Super Bowl, but hasn't had time to watch the President's speech to our military leadership or form an opinion whether furloughed federal workers should be paid or Illinois' governor should be thrown in jail.

if you work for a publication that does this and have any idea how much $$$ your outlet makes from affiliate sale commissions on prime day, DM or signal me: jason.404

The Post laid off seemingly the remaining of their liberal-leaning staff members on Opinion last Thursday, when some of them were observing Yom Kippur.

Humans evolved a cognitive 'social proof' system for establishing what's true (if enough of the people around me believe something, I'll go along) and media fragmentation + social media has completely and totally hijacked it

Feels like AI will only make this worse

Newsom is likely going to let the other bills go into effect quietly, and the education bill is only a couple lines of text where gender is not mentioned.

I'm going to be watching much more closely on what he does with the bills that are explicitly about LGBTQ+ topics.

This is a thing I think most people really don't get. High-end scraping tools can login to all of the major social media and are scraping the fuck out of all of it. There are orgs building private equivalents of the Wayback Machine for purposes much less civic-minded.

We're already in a panopticon

Misleading. It's a stupid system we have in CA but basically: Gov reviews all the bills at once. He signs some. He doesn't sign but also doesn't veto some—they still become law but like, he doesn't "endorse" them. And he vetoes some. Vetoes can be overridden by 2/3 majority.

Literally this morning I was thinking about how this whole thing feels like a plot straight out of Succession, and I expect it to play out as such.

Then I read this, which hits the nail on the head.

I am not a constitutional scholar but I am pretty sure “the president my personally levy taxes and choose what they fund” is not in fact what the founders intended

“Who was president in 2020?” is the question of our time

It's amazing how everyone supporting her seems to forget she wasn't cancelled at all. She quit. And almost immediately was able to launch this new publication. How the hell was she cancelled?

Some people criticized shitty takes. That's not being cancelled.

The research on this topic shows that the way pollsters ask about political violence impacts the results they get — and that this can, in turn, actually affect real-world support for violence. That means that covering polls the right way can help decrease long-term political violence in America
