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.

White House is violating court’s order with impunity, and CNN, MSNOW, and Politico are heading back to court. DOJ’s options are to admit incompetence or confess contempt of a court order and the rule of law.

I think people who fight against Trans Rights should take a long bath in a tub filled with piranhas Trans Rights are Human Rights and fuck off to the River Styx if you don't agree #FreeBugs
to be clear, the admin is alleged to have deported AT LEAST 25,447 individuals TO COUNTRIES THAT ARE NOT THEIR OWN with, evidently, ZERO PROTECTIONS. this is a scandal and crime of historic proportions.
The Deportation Project Map
Between 2025 and August 2026, the Trump administration deported over 25,000 people to countries other than their country of origin. Very few of these removals were publicly announced by the US. The De...

David Kaye@davidakaye.bsky.social · 23h agothe @forbidden-stories.bsky.social investigation is so deeply important. put the illegality to one side. the trump admin is brazenly sending ppl to third countries, lacking any cxn, without any guarantee they won't be sent on for torture, abuse, persecution... it's horrible.
I think trans people don't exclusively want cis people to not vote for democrats that are anti-trans. I think that trans people want cis people to raise almighty hell about it until every democrat is ten toes down on trans rights, rendering the issue moot.
AP Stylebook warns against anthropomorphizing AI systems: “Avoid language that gives them human characteristics… Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.”
That's why I explictly organize on the justified prejudices against The Rich, Imperialists, The Capital Class, Small Business Tyrants, and various other Neoliberal constituents. Maybe you should try that instead of hoping you're going to get some Chud to 'see the light'.

I have cool classes this year. One of my classes left this mousepad and note in our room. I don't know when they did it bc the door was locked when I got there, but that's super sweet.
Communism has no place in America, the President declares the day before rolling out his new state television station.
All of those shows are about dicks. Not a single female-centric show in the lot.

At the movies tonight there was a large hairy dog. My friend is extremely allergic, but the dog has a service vest. Whose disability trumps who's? We had to leave bc he couldn't breathe even after hitting his inhaler. I guess we don't get to see the Brad Pitt war dog movie and they do.
Credit card companies are going to have to change how they pre-authorize cards bc I keep getting stopped at $75 without getting a full tank. If gas is gonna be this fucking high, they need to at least let me pay for it.
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"
The provost of Dartmouth, at which I teach, has been using AI to write both academic papers & national op-eds, according to brave reporting by @thedartmouth.bsky.social. Many students are already bitter about AI. This leaves us as faculty no ground to stand on. www.thedartmouth.com/article/2026...
Op-eds, academic articles by Provost Santiago Schnell flagged as ‘AI-written’ by ‘near-zero error’ AI detector Pangram
Schnell said he used artificial intelligence for “making writing processes more efficient,” but that AI was not a “substitute” for his own “intellectual judgment or authorship.”
