What I’m curious about re the whole Colombia thing is simple.

1. Were the deportees in shackles when sent on the first flights to Colombia

2. Will they be in shackles for future flights

It appears everything else is exactly the same.

Anyone know ?

Trump hanging his supporters in DC out to dry in favor of an exclusive inauguration where only his inner circle and top donors can attend is the perfect metaphor for this administration and today’s GOP.

Elon Musk controls the algorithm that shows posts to people on X and he chooses things that help Trump and things that embarrass Democrats and if you are trying to get a message out that helps Democrats and embarrasses Trump it will not get out. Stop using Vichy Twitter.
They're not stupid - this is a hard problem! You can nail every traditional media hit then check X and realize that none of it got out to people.

Spoke with @inafried.bsky.social at @axios.com - "Meta itself is proactively stating that Meta allows LGBT people to be characterized as abnormal and mentally ill in a hate speech policy," Olson said. "It's a complete break with best practices in content moderation." www.axios.com/2025/01/09/m...
Meta's new content policies will let many groups be targeted
Changes in moderation will release a flood of hate speech and could even fuel real-world violence, experts say.

In 11 days the Trump regime will take office, and they WILL deny federal aid to California. There is no we in Republican America. Never forget.

Pressure from employees at tech and social media companies has been one of the few things that has been effective in getting these companies to change their policies. What you do, what you say, and what you agree to build in these times matters a lot.
New: Meta employees are furious about a new policy that allows users to call LGBTQ+ people "mentally ill." Some have resigned in protest. Some LGBTQ+ employees have started saying they if they are 'mentally ill' they should get leave of absences from work

Talking about a treaty ally like a mob boss running a protection racket: "maybe things have to happen with respect to Denmark"
Trump: "The people of Greenland would love to become a state of the United States of America. Now, Denmark maybe doesn't like it. But then we can't be too happy with Denmark and maybe things have to happen with respect to Denmark having to do with tariffs."

Every single thing that everybody suddenly wants to do in Greenland - mine for minerals! use shipping lanes! set up bases! - can be done right now, while Greenland is part of Denmark. The discussion of "occupying" Greenland is just a pointless piece of aggression towards an ally.

Have been on Bluesky quite a bit the last two days (for info & resources) & it’s not social media that’s broken. I think it’s us that’s broken now. I’ll post about places ppl can donate because LA is in bad shape & my replies are full of “ummmm sounds like somebody’s never heard of Pompeii.”

What living in America is like.

Progressives: Hey billionaire, you ate 90% of this pizza, you should pay for 90% of the pizza.

Billionaires: No, It’s people like me that keep this place open.

Dems: I see no problem.

Maga: THAT FUCKING WAITER!

I feel like videogames actually do provide a pretty accurate representation of real life right now because a lot of videogames are like “THE WORLD IS ENDING” and then you just collect herbs and pretend nothing is wrong
