He's doing “what's right” for the tech donors behind him, while the rest of us get stuck with higher power bills and an overloaded grid.

Many people asked in the comments why we ignore air raid alerts and are outside of shelters during Russian attacks. The answer is simple: alerts last for hours many months in a row. We need to work and live. The world continues watching a live broadcast of Ukrainians being killed.

They’ve sunk everything into the idea that regular people somehow want a layer of enterprise software between them and every aspect of their lives. They can’t imagine people don’t want to run everything like a business.
My book exposes Peter Thiel because he's a radical extremist with scary beliefs who has attained stunning political power. He created JD Vance...and is now roaming the Earth, preaching about the "Antichrist." Here is Thiel saying evil is "good"...while receiving an award from Politico's owner.
The Tennessee Holler @thetnholler.bsky.social · 4d ago“If you’re evil you’re actually kind of good. Because you’re at least getting something done.”🤔 Y’all aren’t alarmed enough about what MAGA tech billionaire (Trump donor, J.D. Vance’s pimp, Epstein’s buddy) Peter Thiel is doing to our country.
Do not carry a cold beverage in their presence. Politely decline any drinks or sweetmeats they may offer. Keep a plain iron nail in your left trouser pocket and a sachet or paper twist of coarse salt in your right shoe. Enter and leave your chair moving clockwise. Follow up with a thank-you note.
The youngest person his pager attack killed was 9-year-old Fatima Abdullah, who had just started 4th grade. The pager was on a table when it went off and she picked it up to take to her dad. It exploded in her face and reports said it covered the room in her blood. She wanted to learn English.

Incredible. First Secretary Mullin claimed that DHS had identified 15,903 noncitizens on Nevada’s voter roll. Then DHS officials told a skeptical Nevada, no no no, that’s just people we flagged. Here are the names of 185 people we KNOW aren’t citizens. All 185 were citizens. DHS got 100% wrong.

New — I had the opportunity to see NAZA, the documentary freaking out the Israeli government because of its horrifying firsthand descriptions of the way the IDF has used AI to target and massacre Palestinian civilians. My thoughts on the film’s damning revelations, and the banality of evil:
I saw the documentary the Israeli government doesn’t want you to see
'NAZA' dispels once and for all the myth that the IDF didn't target civilians in Gaza.

ICE snatched up a Senegalese college basketball player with an ACL injury in a Kentucky airport. She’s “in so much pain” and needs surgery, but is being transferred from camp to camp with little more than ibuprofen. www.kentucky.com/news/state/k...
Yup. Was talking today about how -- in the last 1790s -- the Federalists, who felt entitled to power in a big way -- used "national security" as an excuse to silence and deport their enemies... Sometimes, the echoes SCREAM at you.
Jacqueline Antonovich@jackiantonovich.bsky.social · 7d agoTaught the Fugitive Slave Act for the first time in a few years. Man, my head was spinning as I uttered my familiar refrain about how the FSA radicalized Northerners who maybe never thought much about slavery until they saw people being snatched off the street right in front of them...
As far as I can see, “Impeding a person endeavouring to save himself from shipwreck” is still in force and carries up to a life sentence
The way ICE has treated Wilbur Garcés Pérez amounts to torture. All of this with a bullet lodged in his back and unable to move the left side of his body. Tomorrow I will visit Wilber with Congressman Greg Casar and report back on his condition.

This is some great reporting by ProPublica. SCOTUS has so narrowed our definition of corruption that most corruption isn’t even illegal… but this? Yeah no. This appears to fall squarely within what’s still actually illegal. If the reporting is correct. And they have the actual physical check…!
ProPublica@propublica.org · last wk.Sen. Susan Collins helped steer millions in federal defense contracts to Navatek, whose CEO illegally funneled thousands of dollars to her campaign. The FBI sought to launch a probe and was eyeing Collins and other lawmakers. Then Trump gutted the unit in charge. THREAD 🧵
I have never laughed so much about some ladies talking about grapefruit. And it's worth it... listen to the end.
TW@twesq.bsky.social · last wk.this is fantastic and I learned something new
Thanks to the community speaking up, Wilber has left the detention center to get medical care. This is important news & a positive first step. Now, we have to make sure he fully recovers, is reunited with family, & gets to tell law enforcement the full story of how he was shot in the back by ICE.
Joaquin Castro@joaquincastrotx.bsky.social · last wk.Update on the condition of Wilber Rafael Garcés Pérez at the South Texas Ice Processing Center. He’s being taken to the hospital. He is in tremendous pain and tells us that the bullet is still inside his left side. He can’t move the left side of his body.
Jesús Eduardo Olimpo Gutiérrez Toral was injured while fighting the Austin Fire in Clackamas County on Sept. 9. He died from his injuries at a nearby hospital. He was 25.

🔥🛢️BREAKING: A large-scale drone attack targeted Moscow and the Moscow region overnight, on the final day of Russia’s parliamentary elections. One of the most notable targets was the Moscow Oil Refinery in Kapotnya, where a major fire is visible this morning.
The MAGA outrage du jour that started on Twitter and has now been picked up by the OR GOP is that someone noticed that Tilamook cheese (made in Oregon) has a halal label. They’ve had it for years and they switched to non-animal rennet for economic reasons. But the hate machine must be fed.
