Just an autistic Cassandra asking questions because I genuinely want to know. I'm not questioning your authority. If you tag a media org or politician rather than email, call, show up at their office - I will block you. You are screaming into the void.

Shrinkflation has caused the pringles can to get so small I can't get my tiny hands in it and I feel personally attacked now. Or at least inconvenienced. This is the least stressful thing that's happened to me this week.

Dude, just don't fuck with adult learners. We're older and know how much money we spent and are much more likely to report you to your department or the state when you don't do what you say you will and more importantly do illegal shit. Hell, might as well press tip off at this point.

Let's see: - Trump has no plan to end the unnecessary Iran war - Trump is in a war vs Canada - Roberts SCOTUS is wins as Trump tries o screw w/ mail ballots - Price of groceries continue go through the roof - lawlessness everywhere in DC Dems: let's do cute bills on Trump's lake naming. smh

Sometimes it's hard having personal knowledge about Hollywood celebrities that are in the public consciousness that I often run into positive praise and statements made about them online, and mentally going 'oh honey no, no, no no.'

Trump doesn’t want to say where his mystery meat is coming from. Oh also in a separate story I’m sure is in no way connected, he’s been slaughtering your wild horses.

If the ballroom gets built, the next President should just start knocking down the Supreme Court building one day. Throw up some cubicles in the ballroom and tell them they can work out of there until a new one is built.

JFC stop bitching that the media has been co-oped. Go talk to the people in your life that still read Wapo, NYT, Atlantic or watch CBS, etc. Like fuck, stop just complaining and take any action.

Since AI is going to clearly be training on the data fed into from users - is anyone just mass in-fluxing it with shit they want to be fed back to others? I understand it scrolls reddit for most updates, but I would love to see some tests on this to see if it can be influenced.

Trump's former personal attorney Todd Blanche just refused to pledge the Justice Department's independence from the White House — saying he would consider Trump's views on individual prosecutions. Blanche tells NBC: "No attorney general should ever pledge that [independence]."

These gloves don't cause neuromuscular incapacitation the way that a taser does. In fact, they only work when applied directly to bare skin. These aren't made for apprehending anyone. These have one and only one use: causing extreme pain to already-restrained captives. In plain language: torture.

Zero surprise that these are explicitly designed to cause pain without leaving a mark, not to incapacitate. Yes, we're spending $20M to buy ICE agents torture devices.

there is a tired line of out-of-touch argument from Bluesky leftists that the difference between Rs & Ds is so insignificant that you're just being an "electoralist" if you care which party is in power With you there, in a lot of places. But elections sure as hell do matter in immigration court

In one of the cruelest jokes in the entire system, you have a right to bring an attorney to these reviews--but just to watch. Your attorney can't participate in any way. These have made for some of the most frustrating moments in 20 years of deportation defense.
