> Police in Wisconsin used Flock to determine that a man “travels to Michigan frequently,” where marijuana is legal, then back to Wisconsin, where it is illegal. They then used his travel as part of the probable cause justification to search his car for weed; he was arrested on possession charges.

"The vehicle travels to Michigan frequently which is a known source state for marijuana as it is legal there," a probable cause justification reads.

BLUMENTHAL: Judge Cook, who won the 2020 election? COOK: A joint session of Congress certified Joe Biden BLUMENTHAL: How many times have you rehearsed that answer with the White House? Who won the popular vote? COOK: So if you look at each state, the governor-- B: So you're unwilling to answer

If money can’t buy power, the rich have nothing. This is the real revolution.

I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win

New York City’s business elites are long accustomed to direct access to City Hall, where even Democratic mayors felt the need to court the city’s wealthiest and most influential corporate leaders. That access is getting shredded by Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

Regardless of the politics of an individual race, I always find it heartening when the candidate with a lopsided money advantage doesn't win.

trump won by 1.4% and somehow received the mandate of heaven.

Progressives didn’t get the big election night they wanted

This is why this is not just about Max Miller. It’s about “devout Christian” House Republican leadership who is standing with this guy because they crave power above all else. It’s the culture of MAGA and it comes straight from Trump. Vote them out.

For the past five months the only refugees the USA has accepted are white South Africans fleeing equality & safety meanwhile they are disappearing or strapping ankle monitors on any Haitian they can get ahold of. It needs to be understood how thoroughly connected these two things are.

i am not sure there has been a person in history who enjoys campy theater as much as trump and who will end up more hated by every single person who has ever participated in it

President Trump is banning students majoring in degrees that don’t make enough money from taking out college loans. Degrees for social work, art, religious studies, teaching aides, and music will be hit the hardest. trib.al/aaAEu6v

I somehow do not think "my ex-wife is the bad guy because she took the kid to the emergency room for a broken collarbone" is gonna go the way he thinks.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 20h ago

Rep. Max Miller: "When I was reported for child abuse of my daughter for a broken collarbone, my daughter was in my ex-wife's care 9 out of the last 11 days and she took her to the emergency room, which is a contempt violation from our shared parenting plan."

If you're still on Substack, you're helping platform fascists and their enthusiastic minions, such as Bari Weiss, whom they actively partnered with just before her move to CBS. Go check out @buttondown.com and @ghost.org instead. You can even migrate yours subscribers and subscriptions!

What if instead of starting substacks in twenty-fucking-twenty-six people learned to give one iota of a fuck about whether they want to associate themselves with nazis.

These guys can get mad at actually existing camps any time now

These guys are freaking out over their own imaginations again.

"Understanding" and "statistical extrapolation" *can* often lead to the same place, but when they *don't*, "understanding" provides a way forward, while "extrapolation" founders. 18/

pleased to announce that I've been hired by The New York Times. my job is to commission articles written by right-wing politicians, activists, and billionaires where they describe their activities in whatever way they see fit. it's nice because I don't have to edit or fact check anything

it's funny that this website keeps thinking that making an example of one of us will get the rest of us to simmer down and in actuality i've never been more committed to making ken jennings piss his pants and cry

I have, with my own eyes, watched my tax dollars in the form of missiles as they hit buildings inhabited by civilians. I'd much prefer subsidizing a grocery story I don't use.

USA TODAY Opinion@usatodayopinion.usatoday.com · 2d ago

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

I’m a single issue voter. And that issue? Prison for Tom Scavo.

Almost done with season three and I hope to god one of the women’s wrongs ends up being Lynette murdering Tom. Would it even be a wrong. Would any jury convict.

extreme income inequality is bad for a lot of reasons but today the one i'm mad at is people having the wealth and power to force me to live inside their delusions

Every now and then someone takes a run at me along the lines of "I don't understand why you, a scifi writer, don't appreciate 'AI'," and I'm all, motherfucker, it's *because* I'm a science fiction writer I have the positions I have, how many times do we have to fucking yell "torment nexus," my dude

Never mind the fact Twitter's pageviews/popularity is crashing by every metric. The Trillionaire K-hole is not a winning model.

Darryl Mott@gamerstavernshow.com · 2d ago

Quite literally the reason most of us are here - the robust muting and blocking tools. This isn't about being in an "echo chamber", it's that this is NOT my fucking job and NOT my fucking duty to be here. This is RECREATION. I don't want to deal with bullies and assholes while having fun.

Every time these guys think they have a checkmate, it always just turns out to be them soiling their own trousers

"I'm entitled to whatever I want whenever I want it for any reason and I don't care what satisfying these urges does to me or the world" well okay dude, seems like there's something deeper going on here, but that's just my take

So… they’re working

what it comes down to is this. everyone who attends a public school should get a free lunch. period. you cannot means test a child's hunger. if you try, sorry not sorry, you're doing eugenics. fix your fucking heart or die.

Heed the warning.

we had an entire ICU team that was dedicated to flipping patients onto their bellies to give them a last shot at oxygenating before their inevitable deaths, but ok

Gabriel Bosslet@gbosslet.bsky.social · 3d ago

RFK Jr said these words today on national television "There were ICUs that were empty all over the country including in New York at the height (of the pandemic)" hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha You are a fucking idiot hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha <sobs silently>

Whoever is going to be the public health spokesperson during the next pandemic is watching this revisionist pillorising...and is probably learning the bad lessons.

"But Fauci--" Shut up. In those first months, we were so horny for someone smart and competent that when Fauci was asked who should play him on SNL and he said, "I don't know, Brad Pitt?" they got Brad Pitt and he ended the bit by breaking character to thank Fauci.

this man's performance sells it so hard. The turn sudden cutting off, the turn to camera, the resigned "here we go again" in his eyes

never thought short form video would be able to capture a type of humor i can only describe as “the far side-esque” but this comes close.

in roughly 15 years I’m going to switch my professional focus to giving therapy to kids whose parents raised them with AI and I’m going to make enough money to buy San Francisco

💥 Israel is burning the olive groves of Yaroun in South Lebanon. One of the oldest villages on Earth. A 3,000-year-old village. This is an act of ecocide.
