I'd estimate that there are a total of 6,000 trees on Hains Point, on the golf course and along Ohio Drive combined, so the administration has cut over 8% of the park's trees in one day.

Absolutely WILD footage appears to show a man forcing a woman into the back of a vehicle as she screams for help. But just when things look terrifying, four men reportedly step in, pull her out, and confront the alleged kidnapper! 👏🏾

Software engineering in 2026: Meta engineers found several security vulnerabilities in the company’s viral AI agent product, at least one of which could have allowed malicious users to break outside of Muse’s intended environment and access Meta’s own sensitive databases and services

@dcattorneygeneral.bsky.social look who's helping you with DC v. Trump. Time to get JTF-DC to reissue its guidance to respect the bare minimum 50' perimeter. #freedc #nationalguardgohome #possecomitatusact #voterintimidation

I think these National Guard troops might be within 50 feet of this drop box at GWU Hospital (photo taken 2 minutes ago).

I wish Democrats would start talking about the fact that 85% to 95% of these detainees go to private detention camps for profit. Profits that in part are kicked back to the GOP in the form of campaign donations. #ICE theintercept.com/2025/07/10/c...

The Private Prison Industry Looks Forward to Soaring Profits Thanks to Trump’s Budget

The $45 billion for immigration detention in the "Big, Beautiful Bill" represented a long-sought win for private prisons.

I LOVE how @propublica.org dealt with official comment here, editorially and stylistically.

Ken Schwencke@schwanksta.com · 7d ago

A year ago, @propublica.org told you immigration agents had detained more than 170 U.S. citizens. We’ve updated our count, and we’ve got all the receipts. The tally: At least 506 citizens detained. Sometimes held at gunpoint, handcuffed, or even deported. projects.propublica.org/american-cit...

I keep meeting ppl who think everything should be done by AI. The soccer league couldn't be bothered to put the kids in a spreadsheet. They dumped the list in CHATGPT and told it to make teams without regard for location. I'm so sick of the laziness.

This is part of the regime's attempt to crush organized labor and replace unionized TSA workers with contractors. They tried to eliminate workers bargaining rights last year, then forced them to work through the shutdown w/o pay for more than a month, and now this.

TSA says it is removing chairs at document checks in airports, requiring staff to stand for their shift. TSA explained the reason as twofold: to ensure its employees meet its fitness standards and to create an amiable environment for travelers.

My grandparents survived the terrible abuse of the Federal Indian Boarding School Era. That trauma wasn't isolated to the past—it was carried down through my family all the way to me. And there are so many families like my own across Indian Country.

I agree. I am worried when I see many of my fellow psychiatrists using AI scribes out of convenience. Where is the concern for patient privacy? Do they realize that by doing so, they are training AI to replace them?

I feel like the right side of his face droops more with every passing day (or TIA)— there’s no hiding now that something quite neurologically serious is happening now.
