ICE had claimed Belgal had "a superficial wound to his neck."

A short while ago Make the Road NY attorney Harold Solis spoke to reporters after a brief hearing following the arrest of Oscar Belgal, shot by an ICE officer yesterday. Solis says Belgal still "had a bullet in his body."

Because he's one of the only people standing next to a Republican going, "this person is a piece of shit, I don't respect him, neither should you, he's fucking evil and he needs to go, and I don't care if it makes me sound rude saying it" LIKE EVERY DEMOCRAT SHOULD BE DOING??? MAYBE???

Figuring out why Ossoff is so effective is an interesting task. I think he's mastering a kind of stern dignity that is uniquely compelling in contrast to the clownish cruelty of the other side. I think the other person who's kind of hit on the same thing is AOC, though in a different register

Meanwhile, back where we started. I said this morning: Notable that Anthropic is more interested in protecting Claude from humans than humans from Claude. Not just Anthropic. The misdirection of empathy says a lot.

And if you say that these are not by "the state" - well what are police? They are the gatekeepers of the state.

Sheryl Weikal says Prosecute ICE@leftistlawyer.com · 8h ago

What Derek Chauvin did to George Floyd was a public extrajudicial execution. Keep that in mind when you say we haven't had a public execution since 1936. We have, actually. Many times. They're called police murders.

People are too obsessed with Nazi Germany as their fascism template. Well, this is US Federal fascism in 2026. Yesterday's Livestream execution Pay Per View edition is U.S. fascism 2026 style. We're here now. We have to internalize this.

One of the most disconcerting moments of living in this timeline of the world in the U.S. is that A LOT of people in this country keep acting like there's a special line that needs to be crossed for fascism to *arrive.* The reality is that we are CURRENTLY living under Federal fascism. NOW.

New, from me: Kimberly Guilfoyle was caught soliciting money for government favors. Normally we call that a bribe. If she is corrupt, it is only because she has adapted to Trump's corrupt environment, where everything is for sale. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/stop-paper...

We definitely do not have to worry about this.

Thom Tillis should be a bit more...careful. He is dangerously close to advocating treason. He knows, or should know, that if the Ds win the House, Mike Johnson has FA to say about what happens next. He'll just be a mediocre Rep from LA again, with no more power than any other Rep.

‘Explosion of melt rates’: 20% of Swiss glaciers lost in 5 years Switzerland has lost almost one-fifth of its ice in just 5 years, research has found, in a dramatic reshaping of the Alpine country. Swiss glaciers shrank by 5.5% in the first 8 months of 2026 after a summer of scorching heatwaves.

Important thing wrt political science and the NSF, it isn't just about 'woke' in the usual race/gender theory sense. Republicans have been angered by hardnosed quant findings that have been inconvenient to the GOP on things like gerrymandering, campaign finance, voter ID, political violence, etc

Josh Zingher@zingherpolisci.bsky.social · 3d ago

We've probably learned more about American politics from the ANES than any other single data source. The same is true for the GSS and sociology. Both of these are gone if Congress acquiesces to these NSF cuts.

#KITM @kagrox.bsky.social Basic check kiting is writing a check before making the deposit that it requires, in whole or part. I'd argue that having another party make a payment that you know is going to have to be made good from your accounts later is a fancy kind of check kiting. ...
