Love when Katie's on 🔥🔥🔥 (rightfully so!)! I remember when this raid happened & my 1st thought was "this is going to be a major sh💩tshow" just based on the ltd facts available then. I am *not at all* surprised that Miller/Bondi/Blanche made the situation worse in their zeal to get a "big win." 🤬🤬🤬
Katie Phang@katiephang.bsky.social · 8h agoMore than 300 South Koreans filing FTCA claims to be able to sue the Trump Regime after they were illegally detained during the outrageous 2025 raid on a plant in Georgia.

I got The Worst Witch (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wor... after Diana Rigg died (plus Fairuza Balk) & never watched it - imagine my joy when I just saw Tim Curry was in it playing a Wizard (in a chiffon cape). I knew it was meant for kids, but it was *beyond* stupid. It was beneath them all. #Gah
When people in my (small) text groups are chatty, I hide alerts. I can go back later & see if I missed anything important, but generally speaking, I don't want to hear an alert every time someone responds with a "👍" or a "cool". If that make me an unfriendly bitch, oh well. I haz the jumpy nerves.
Florida is cracking down on AI use in classrooms, with new rules that prohibit its use for graded college assignments, allow parents to opt their kids out, and ban student use of AI programs that try to be friends with you.
Florida students face strict new AI restrictions after board approval
New Florida policies heavily restrict AI use in K-12 schools and state colleges and universities. What's changing for students, parents and teachers.

Got two shots at the pharmacy today: the Go Fuck Yourself RFK Jr vaccine, and the Fuck Off RFK Jr You Evil Anti-Science Piece of Shit vaccine. Both very effective.
Nice fucking try, Hilton - see you in 🔥 first... Speaking as a member of one of the "last bastians of left-wing Big Government"... ...you're wrong about what it is that Californians are fed up with; it's Republicans like you - a Trump supporter endorsed by Trump. You're tainted. #NopeNopeNope
Today, I'm calling to immediately press pause on the development of advanced AI while lawmakers and regulators put systems in place to keep people safe.
Appalling. "In all, federal authorities detained more than 49,000 migrants in July, the highest total during Trump’s second administration, according to a Washington Post analysis of government data." www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...
How ICE is arresting soaring numbers of immigrants with no criminal record
Federal immigration officers are shifting their targets and tactics to increase arrests. More than half of those detained last month did not have a criminal record.

It takes a special kind of Guy to look at all the circumstances of Brett Kavanaugh's career arc and reach the passive-voice conclusion that Kavanaugh "was forced" to join the Supreme Court's conservative wing. But Noah Feldman? He is that special kind of Guy. noahfeldman.substack.com/p/brett-kava...

Marc Elias@marcelias.bsky.social · 4d ago🚨BREAKING: In a major win for voters, the Supreme Court Monday rejected the Trump administration’s attempt to reinstate its mail voting restrictions ahead of November’s pivotal midterm elections. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
A second federal judge has issued an order blocking the new USPS rule on mail voting. This is a separate case from the one in which a federal judge issued another block last week. (This judge refused to block Trump's order in May because USPS had yet to issue a final 'rule', which it since has.)
Kyle Cheney@kyledcheney.bsky.social · 5d agoBREAKING: Judge Nichols, a Trump appointee in Washington, D.C., has *blocked* the administraiton's mail-in ballot plan, saying USPS lacked the authority to issue it. ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show...

This is how it’s done. This is a skilled, articulate, charismatic, effective politician with great potential to do good. Yet Schumer and Jeffries would sooner align themselves with John Fetterman than this guy.

@thebulwark.com did a supercut of all the prior times Trump said he was going to give Americans a $5000 check or whatever. It is glorious
This is sad. It should be a *right*. (Gods know that the U.S. isn't much better on this. It's state-by-state, and only legal in Washington, D.C., and California, Colorado, Delaware, Oregon, Vermont, New Mexico, Maine, New Jersey, Hawaii, Washington, New York, & Montana - tho' Montana is disputed).
