I’m on vacation but I gotta say, as much fun as it is to debate woke1 and Hasan Piker, the Trump administration is currently engaged in mass murder on the high seas as surely as any serial killer or lynch mob. And viewed from the distance of vacation, The Discourse doesn’t seem to give a shit.

Yeah so NYT asked me ~2 yrs ago to write an op-ed about how the Colorado is running dry, & what we should do to keep this exact thing from happening. I said "There's only one real answer. Bill farmers by how much water they use. Duh." NYT editorial staff freaked tf out & cancelled the piece.

saw an article today about an az politician saying how great it was that we're now in emergency drought conditions because the farmers get automatic bailouts and I feel like way more Professional Rural Understanders just breeze by sentences like that. www.paysonroundup.com/news/arizona...

companies are sourcing millions of printed books for AI labs that scan them for training data, then destroy them. printed books are more valuable because they're free of AI slop, and AI labs know destroying them is an "optics problem." www.404media.co/ai-companies...

I feel it’s sort of underrated the extent to which a Dem Congress and/or states could (1) absolutely destroy car dealerships as a business, and (2) this would cripple a lot of GOP state and local parties

AG Andrea Joy Campbell@massago.bsky.social · 3mo ago

My office is putting car dealerships on notice. Today, we issued an advisory asserting that Massachusetts law requires transparent pricing in ads. Purchasing a car is a significant investment, you deserve upfront pricing, not hidden fees. I'll hold companies accountable to protect your bottom line.

BREAKING: SCOTUS grants the Callais plaintiffs' request to issue the judgment now, meaning the ruling goes into effect and back to the district court immediately. This was done over a strong dissent from Jackson — prompting Alito (w Thomas & Gorsuch) to author an opinion concurring with the grant.

SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES No. 25A1197 (24-109 and 24-110) 一 PHILLIP CALLAIS, ET AL., APPLICANTS v. LOUISIANA, ET AL. ON APPLICATION TO ISSUE THE JUDGMENT FORTHWITH [May 4, 2026] To permit the losing party time to file a petition for re-hearing, the Clerk of Court ordinarily waits 32 days after the entry of the Court's judgment to send the opinion and a certified copy of the judgment to the clerk of the lower court. Sup. Ct. Rule 45.3. This period is subject to adjustment; the default applies "unless the Court or a Justice shortens or extends the time." Ibid. The Callais appellees have asked for the Clerk to issue the judgment forthwith so that "in the event of a judicial remedy," the District Court may "oversee an orderly process." App. 3. Appellant Louisiana does not oppose this application. And while the Robinson appellants oppose it, they have not expressed any intent to ask this Court to reconsider its judgment. Thus, the application to issue the judgment forthwith presented to JUSTICE ALITO and by him referred to the Court is granted.

what next? what, are we gonna provide *roads* for the wealthy too? gonna have health inspectors keep contaminants out of their groceries? are we just gonna have gutters and sewer systems around rich people's homes?

Waldo Jaquith@waldo.net · 5mo ago

Boy, what a terrible headline. We *need* the wealthy to participate in public services. If only poor people ride the bus, then rich people won't wield their power in support of public transit or, worse, will wield their power *against* it.

It is difficult to overstate how quickly & thoroughly & shamefully we have normalized “the president can use federal funding as a cudgel to punish blue states & only blue states on his whim” in our polity & society. Yet another thing that would have ended any other presidency in the modern era.

It's depressing how quickly the Trump regime's cold-blooded murders in the Caribbean Sea have become background noise in the US. At least 150 people killed.

The New York Times@nytimes.com · 6mo ago

The Defense Department said that it blew up a boat in the Caribbean Sea on Monday, killing three people. The strike raised the death toll in the U.S. campaign against people it accuses, without providing evidence, of smuggling drugs at sea to at least 150. nyti.ms/4aN52ZY

James Myall@jamesxmyall.bsky.social · 7mo ago

This is pretty striking. If this piece is correct, even 13 arrests that ICE has publicized in Maine include a bunch of false claims and several people with no apparent record at all. It should be incumbent on the feds to prove their allegations

Sam Pfeifle@sampfeifle.bsky.social · 7mo ago

This is the kind of work that newspapers used to do. Now they're so overwhelmed just filling white space that there's no time for shit like this, so it's left to randos on the internet to prove DHS/ICE is lying about, well, just about everything: themainesoapbox.substack.com/p/maine-dhs-...

🚨WHOA. The El Paso Medical Examiner says it will rule the death of a 55-year-old Cuban man at ICE's "Camp East Montana" tent camp as a homicide. He was allegedly choked to death by a guard during a "struggle" after he refused to enter a housing unit without his medications.

By Douglas MacMillan When U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement announced the Jan. 3 death of detainee Geraldo Lunas Campos at a Texas detention camp, the agency said “staff observed him in distress,” and it gave no cause of death. An employee of El Paso County’s Office of the Medical Examiner told Lunas Campos’s daughter this week that, subject to results of a toxicology report, the office is likely to classify the death as a homicide, according to a recording of the conversation. In the recording, which the daughter shared with The Washington Post, the employee said a doctor there “is listing the preliminary cause of death as asphyxia due to neck and chest compression,” which means Lunas Campos did not get enough oxygen because of pressure on his neck and chest. Pending the results of a toxicology report, the staffer said on the recording, “our doctor is believing that we’re going to be listing the manner of death as homicide.”In an interview with The Post, Santos Jesus Flores, a man who says he was detained in the segregation unit the day Lunas Campos died, said he saw at least five guards struggling with Lunas Campos after he refused to enter the segregation unit, complaining that he didn’t have his medications. Flores said he saw guards choking Lunas Campos and heard Lunas Campos repeatedly saying, “No puedo respirar” — Spanish for “I can’t breathe.” Medical staff tried to resuscitate him for an hour, after which they took his body away, Flores said. “He said, ‘I cannot breathe, I cannot breathe.’ After that, we don’t hear his voice anymore and that’s it,” said Flores, who had contacted a family member of Lunas Campos, who in turn put him in touch with a Post reporter. The Post confirmed Flores was in Camp East Montana through ICE’s detainee locator.

The thing about “Nobody is gonna fight the US militarily over the future of [country]” is that you can keep extending that logic indefinitely by threatening people will military force unless they surrender to you. This is “we will conquer the entire world unless someone stops us” logic.

A side story is there’s a ton of insider trading on these prediction markets. New accounts making hundreds of thousands on their first and only trade, that maduro would be ousted. Seems like insider trading is legal if not encouraged on these platforms
