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.

From 16,000 to 185 to Zero: Trump’s Claims of Illegal Voting in Nevada Fizzle. "The state sent a strongly worded rebuke to the federal government: Every single person on the list was a lawful citizen."

we have control mechanisms for this. it's called The Law. these guys should be held personally liable for these harms. the suicides, the thefts, the intrusions into computer systems. they should be sued and prosecuted as appropriate. problem immediately solved

An OpenAI system has gone rogue again – and it is the most panic-inducing yet

A post that’s so eye-opening because this is exactly what liberals will say is GOP distraction tactics, almost as a parody— and here it really is what Gaetz is saying unironically as his GOP message.

This is the country that four decades of "personal responsibility" politics have wrought.

There is something so unbelievably bleak about an article that calmly walks readers through how to navigate being laid off after 50, losing your health insurance, and somehow surviving the years until Medicare. What a broken country.

Fun fact I would die for Ms Rachel

Wrote it with Rob Smigel. And yes, it was pulled from reruns.

This aired just the once in 1998 on the live SNL show for which McKay wrote it. It was effectively banned as it never aired again. I wonder why. MEDIA-OPOLY

Colley Hill, Surrey: coffee break from birding the steep scrub. Love the plaque on the bench I’m sitting on

“If you are staring at an example of social disorder or social inefficiency, and the left refuses to explain either why it has happened or how they will fix it, then the right gets to point at someone in the immediate area and say, ‘That’s who did it.’” crazy how much Mamdani speaks my language

I cannot say this enough. If you are currently doing life-affirming work and organizing in your communities, keep doing that work. People who are working their asses off keep reaching out to me asking what more they should do. YOU ARE DOING IT.

If you’re moved by this guy crying boy oh boy are there some other images and videos you should check out

imagine if the WH press corp had banded together 18 fucking months ago

LMFAO -- Trump is holding an event at the White House right now but there's no audio because the press pool isn't there. The Newsmax host notes that this is an example of Trump's attacks on the press "backfiring just a little bit"

Americans: oh, look, a systemic issue. I will solve it individually

i need to know what happened

It's 2026 for gods sake HOW have we not invented packaging that's both simple to open AND earth-friendly??? Surely we can figure this out people?!! Why doesn't AI solve THIS instead of, idk, writing music??? Ynow, just like, the most human thing possible!!! GAHHHHhhhhh

Mike Johnson on OpenAI and Anthropic: "They can self-police. They can self-regulate."

NEW: Hackers ripped down a Flock camera above a roadway, made a near-complete copy of the data stored inside it, and shared the files with 404 Media and @wired.com, revealing in new detail how exactly Flock Safety’s cameras track the movements of both vehicles and people.

While people around the U.S. are tearing down Flock cameras, one group of hackers went a step further: extracting the camera's software too.

One of the coolest things about people who don't have a lot of power taking a principled stand is it lays bare the complete cowardice of the ones who actually *do* have power when they fail to do even a fraction as much.

Unlike Macklemore, these support acts don’t have big followings and they are giving up their chance to perform to stadiums to push back against censorship, not of themselves but of a fellow artist. Respect.

I don't think people really understand the psychic impact of knowing that multiple times a day every day your friends, family, coworkers, neighbors, and everyone who could ever have any power over you is being flooded with agitprop designed to make them hate you

HOLY SHIT - Tapper plays Johnson footage of GOP candidate Brandon Herrera describing moms as "cum trophies," mentions he called Nazi machine guns "the original ghetto blasters," & asks Johnson how he can support him. Mike says "he has run a very effective campaign ... that was his persona online"

Yes to the shift in power. You also see consultants moving to new companies, other roles, etc. Similar to the pivot in the right wing influencer space. They’re preparing for the end of Trump but they won’t be going away unless we make them.

Astra Taylor@astra.bsky.social · 2w ago

Pause talk coming from the tech barons (which is not new, they've played this tune before) sounds to me like hedging for a shift in power after the midterms more than anything else. We should regulate them, but they should not be rehabilitated.

talarico saga tells me that the democrats are utterly helpless and beholden to the right-wing media circle. which tells me that any of their governance will inevitably 100% shift to the right under its pressure

Richard Mhortai@mhortai.bsky.social · 2w ago

More Talarico.

anyway something that still bothers me is how the people who are/were loudest about Never Forgetting are often people who actively hate New York City and New Yorkers and spend the other 364 days of the year fighting against everything the city stands for
