Absolutely stunning that in the NYT’s latest major story on Elon Musk single-handedly trying to save the GOP there is NOT ONE WORD about how he is the world’s most vocal white supremacist and advocate of ethnic cleansing.

The world’s most vocal racist will be the Republican Party’s biggest donor again. But don’t mention it. | Press Watch

Our top news organizations are covering up Elon Musk’s white supremacist propaganda

Part of why I don't like the AI-or-bust economy is the constant flopsweat of people on the news who say this HAS to work. Quit making everyone so anxious. Goddamn. If this is the next Google then why are you acting like this? I don't remember being told to buy an iPhone at gunpoint.

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...

More Than 500 U.S. Citizens Have Been Detained, Including Handcuffed or Held at Gunpoint, in Trump’s Immigration Crackdown — ProPublica

The government doesn’t track how often immigration officers detain U.S. citizens. So ProPublica did. We’ve found more than 500 Americans who were held against their will during this Trump administrati...

4/ Fernando Vasquez, an 18-year-old citizen, was on break from work when agents chased and handcuffed him, then put him in their truck. After realizing their mistake, the agents left the teen alone in the woods, with no way to get home. Then they threw his ID out of the truck.

"For America to right itself, we need changes on the scale of Reconstruction and the New Deal. And I worry that’s not going to happen if Democrats and the broader anti-Trump left are taking their cues about what’s necessary and politically possible from the Times." newrepublic.com/article/2160...

The Left Must Fight The New York Times’ Monopoly Too

The paper’s editorial vision is out of step with the robust liberalism needed today.

This is exactly what's wrong with the tech industry, which my work intersects. It seeks people willing to see their jobs as a collection of preset, repeatable, tasks. This mindset views talent, creativity, and natural ability as impediments, not virtues. Tech values dronedom.

I am talking about working with people to even conceive of their lives as a set of tasks — that isn’t exactly natural and isn’t something we train people to do and yet its a precondition for figuring out what an agent would even *do*.

Upside down, by the ankles, and then treat him like a piñata.

Meta and Tik Tok refusing to allow the trailer for Musk to run as a paid ad on their site—just like any other movie trailer—means users should fight tech oligarch solidarity and share it widely youtu.be/FFTf1lzcs28?...

@ariberman.bsky.social and @pemalevy.bsky.social have a damning new story about how the Roberts Court is reviving Jim Crow, relying on the same legal tactics used to undermine the Reconstruction. A must read to understand the stakes of this election. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The media assignment is very straightforward and clear: Can you find, in the coming months, some of these 750,000 people and interview them? According to Vance, they're probably all "fake" because anyone who buys a health plan and then doesn't file claims is obviously not someone who really exists.

"OpenAI co-founder and president Greg Brockman gave Trump's super PAC a whopping $25 million" is one of those things that could really stand to be pointed out more:

Again for those in the cheap seats. Gavin Newsom is an owned and operated subsidiary of the powerful. He puts a center-left wash on oligarchy. That's what he considers his job.

This man straight-up gotta be some kinda Kristen Sinema spoiler-type plant or something.

perfect from @warren.senate.gov “Allowing one Trump-aligned, foreign-owned conglomerate to dominate American news and entertainment is a disastrous outcome. ...The new Paramount behemoth is a clear candidate for antitrust scrutiny in a future pro-competition Administration.”

"Don't give archconservative MAGA cranks control of historically large and important media conglomerates" seems like a very low bar, but leading Democrats somehow fail to hit even that. If Democratic leadership wants to understand why it's unpopular with its own base, look no further than this.

I really hate the framing of these stories as "an AI agent broke out and hacked something." No, an inadequate sandbox meant that a powerful and unpredictable computer program was set loose on the open internet by the company that designed it. The agency isn't with the "AI agent", it's with the firm

If Biden or Obama had started a war that led to attacks like these on American bases—and then covered it up for months—the political backlash would eclipse Benghazi. One service member: "We're not defending these bases. We're just watching them get destroyed." www.cbsnews.com/news/new-pho...

The NYT lies for Trump, again www.nytimes.com/video/us/pol... Contrary to the NYT headline, Trump didn't pledge his followers to vote for him; he pledged his followers to cheat for him (literally).

We are a nation that spent 3/4 of its history in slavery and apartheid. We are a uniquely violent society for a rich country. We have consistently elected leaders who put the wants of the few over the needs of the many. This is at least as much who we are as the compassion these caregivers show.

What's more astonishing is the degree to which Democrats happily allow everyone forget the utterly shitty things Republicans regularly do.

Micah@rincewind.run · last mo.

the speed at which everyone forgets is utterly shocking to me - it's basically just a single election cycle no matter how bad the damage is george w bush ran the country into a ditch, covered it in petrol and set it on fire and two years later republicans gained 63 seats in the midterms

"Yeah, it’s trash. The article itself is also horribly Islamophobic," a CBS staffer told me about this tweet.

They were spot on. This was The New York Times Sunday Opinion section on October 27, 2024.

I'm not a conspiracy guy. I generally believe things happened just as they looked. But, being ex-military and working with weapons, I've yet to hear an explanation for how Bone Spurs was hit in the ear with a high-velocity rifle round and ended up with nary a scratch or a scar. It doesn't happen.

Just a reminder this statement was said by a sitting Congressman to the public, Trump and his DOJ offered not one pushback, denial or lawsuit.. it’s still just sitting out there
